Top 10 Mistakes

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

There are so many options to develop leadership available and in use today.  Below is my Top 10 Mistakes list.  Feel free to respond with any big ones I may have missed, and of course, your commentary.

  1. We send a manager to a workshop they received a brochure in the mail for last week.
  2. We send a manager to college or university workshop because they are on a special list.

 

Faster - Better - Cheaper

Friday, October 9th, 2009

For the past 20 years I have heard some version of faster - better - cheaper, as businesses are looking for better results from their people.

The latest word that employees and managers are hearing is ‘accountability.’  Is this the next version of empowerment, a plea for help as businesses navigate the realities of the economy, or something entirely different?  I have two businesses - I get it!

I’d like your opinion.  Earlier this morning I placed a new poll on LInkedIn for people to respond to.  If you would like to share your thoughts a vote in the one question survey, go to the following link to place your vote - I’d greatly appreciate hearing from you:  http://polls.linkedin.com/p/60595/pgcef.
