Hi Ed.
He has an interesting perspective, which applies mostly at the C-suite level.
I would prefer to either revert to our earlier thoughts about leadership (I’ll paste these below) or something more broad-based that includes both managers and leaders:
- Today’s Expectations of Leaders and Managers
- Don’t BE a Leader: Focus on BECOMING a Leader (talking about leadership not as a destination, but as a journey of continuous learning).
Here’s what we exchanged ideas back in March, along the theme of Leadership Power:
Authoritarianism vs. Leadership
- Which is more effective and why
- Leadership Power: Where does it originate?
- The key elements of leadership power: trust, influence, authority
- Why authoritarianism doesn’t work in today’s workplaces
Effectively Communicating Change
- A better approach for introducing change
- Influence, not authority, is foundational for implementing change
- Understanding and leveraging the buy-in continuum
Making Feedback Effective
- Why most feedback is ineffective
- Why effective feedback requires a mindset change
- How to improve the performance review process (Dr. Ken Lloyd is the subject matter expert)
Why Leaders and Managers are the Bottlenecks to Productivity
- Where leaders and managers spend their time (meetings!)
- Improving 1-on-1 meetings and discussions
- Using delegation to improve productivity
I’m happy to go in whatever direction you want. Let me know.
Cheers,
Steven
