Real Leadership / Real Management

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

This week’s focus point: LEADING AND MANAGING

Surveys tell us that the most important person to a worker on any level is their direct manager.

“Every CEO/Leader/Manager has to be made to look like a Confederate cavalry general of a boardroom Elvis Presley. Real Leadership has little to do with ‘leadership qualities’; and even less to do with ‘charisma.’ It is mundane, unromantic, and boring. Its essence is performance.” — Peter F. Drucker, 1988

Monday Morning Message for January 25, 2010

This week’s focus point: PRODUCTIVITY “WORST FIRST”

People have a tendency to “put off” something difficult until the end of the day. As the day goes on, part of your thoughts are on the unpleasant task that must be completed. In this case, you are not operating at peak performance. If you do the “worst first” – your mental energy will be released and you will be more productive.

Great Communicators Listen Well

Friday, May 7th, 2010

LISTEN WITH AN OPEN MIND:

Do not Censor or Edit anyone’s responses.  We evaluate others by our own experiences.  Do not use your life filters.  If you censor or edit, you are robbing yourself and the speaker of your true presence in the moment and you are invalidating their experience of themselves.

FORCE BACK THE MIND TALK:

Eliminate the MIND CHATTER.  Turn down the volume on your ever-busy mind.  Do not think about where you have been, where you are going, what you will be doing, what people may be thinking, or how you will be responding.  ONLY YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT IS HAPPENING IN YOUR BRAIN.

BE HERE NOW!
