The Best of... Leadership
Tips
· Build good will with your
people by engaging them in personal chats when you and they have a few
spare minutes. This personal attention time will serve like a cushion
the next time you have to keep the "niceties" to a minimum. - Executive
Leadership January '06
· Make better decisions by
devoting more time to understanding the viewpoints of those who don't
agree with you and less time on those who do. That way, you're much
more likely to challenge preconceived notions that could lead you to
the wrong choice. - Executive Leadership March '06
· Cultivate your most vital business
relationships by making one phone call for every five e-mail
messages to those contacts. They require a dose of personal touch every
now and then - Why
Business People Speak like Idiots, Brian Fugere, Chelsea Hardaway, Jon
Waeshawsky
· Make every person you meet feel
exceptional by being consistently energetic and attentive.
Adopting an upbeat tone makes you stand out as a leader...and takes no
more time than being glum. - Fun is Good, Mike Veeck, Pete Williams
· Increase your visibility by
agreeing to view presentations at other people's locations, instead of
your own office. - Leadership Lessons Learned from Middle Management, Sheldon
Berkowitz
· Avoid the stress that procrastination
brings by starting a high-stakes task today, even if you invest
only five minutes. - Good Stress, Bad Stress, Barry Lenson
· Force-feed your creative thinking by following science fiction writer Ray Bradbury' formula: Read
something every day that stimulates your imagination. "If you
stuff yourself full", says the authorof more that 500 novels,
plays, screenplays, short stories, TV scripts and poems, "you will
automatically explode every morning like Old Faithful." - Imaginators, www.
Acop.com/creative
· How much progress are you making? List three or four biggest problems you face today. Then ask, "Are
they the same challenges I faced a year ago?" If so, figure out
what has gotten you stuck and act decisively now to roll the old
problems out of the way. - Lost and Found:23 Things You Can Do to Find
Personal Freedom, Arthur Caliandro
· Short-circuit team paralysis by empowering more people throughout the ranks to make decisions on
their own ... especially during times of growth, when you need action.
- Lessons
from the Top, Thomas Neff, James Citrin
· Uncover people's core values and
goals by asking these "blue sky" questions:
- What would you do if your R&D budget were
tripled and you could develop any product you wanted?"
- What would you do first if you were made CEO
of this organization?
- What would you do tomorrow if you won the
lottery and didn't have to work anymore?"
