Training Successors Without Hurt Feelings

A manager recently approached me with this troubling issue, "My back-up person is incredible. But when she retires, which she's eligible to do at any moment, we'll be in big trouble. My problem is: How do I train someone else to do her job, without taking responsibilities away from her? I don't want to hurt her feelings and make her feel as if I'm trying to push her out the door by training someone else to do her job."

Management By The Numbers

As the saying goes, "What gets measured and monitored gets done." So, what are you measuring and monitoring?

People Power

I had the opportunity to provide the keynote address at a client's annual team meeting in New York. For most organizations these events are quite boring and, to be honest, attended only by those employees who couldn't come up with a believable excuse not to attend.

Recognize Potential

We recently started a six-month leadership training program with a new client. The participants are accepted into the program only after they have been nominated by someone at or above their position in the company, and they have successfully passed the program’s interview process.

When Frugal Is Costly

There's no disputing the importance of controlling costs when running a business. However, many business owners actually waste their company's money because they focus on being frugal instead of using the company's money wisely.

Leadership Clashes

In meeting with a prospective client this week, an all too common issue presented itself: The client wants to tweak the organization's culture. The leaders want to enhance their managers' and front-line team members' ability to work together, communicate with one another, and generally create a more comfortable workplace.

Unhappy Employees? What didn’t YOU do?

A client recently told me she believes one of her key employees may be looking for a new job. My client was nervous and feeling a bit defeated at losing another star employee. Sarah (not her real name) is smart, efficient, organized, and articulate.

Define the Deliverable

We’ve all created To Do lists, sent them around to our team and sat back waiting for responses and, hopefully, accomplishments. We might even feel a bit smug congratulating ourselves that one of our tasks is done.
