Leadership

Following up, in my opinion, is the most important aspect of management – whether it is to your boss or to your team.

The hard conversations can be less painful (less painful although not necessarily easy) if you follow a few simple steps. Let’s talk about them.

Each and every one of us is accountable to a much larger number of people than we might first think.

Managers ensure we meet our commitment as a company by using process discipline, and then problem solve when a process is not delivering what it should.

If you think you are being micromanaged, I advise you to first check your performance.

To be an effective leader, a person must be an effective manager! Our managers must be able to do both functions – influence people to do what needs doing while…

I especially like it when I see people on the deckplates demonstrating leadership – regardless of title – and I see it a lot.

How you as a leader interact with your boss defines the type of leader you are. The most effective leaders are good followers.

Words of action will never be as influential as the actions themselves. 

Effective leaders give their team the support it needs to be successful by using two critical skills: listening and following up.
