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.

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.

Support your Stars

I had lunch recently with a woman who is starting to hate her job. She drives to work dreading the day and by 10 AM she's plotting her escape. By Wednesday noon, she looks forward to Friday and every Sunday evening her anxiety level bubbles up because Monday's coming all too soon.

Do YOUR Job

A manager approached me this week after a work session to seek my advice on how she should address one of her employees. This employee is increasingly becoming Trouble (with a tall T).

Kissing Leadership Communication

It happened again. As I started a work session with a client group recently, I asked them to bring me up to speed on what's been happening with their company since our last session.

Remember: They’re Watching You

No matter how many times you tell your team, "We're going to change." "We're going to become more efficient and do things differently around here," they're not going to believe you. They also know that by "We" you really mean them. As a leader, if you expect others to change, you need to change first.

What Do You Mean "Management Doesn’t Trust You"?

If you're a manager, you've heard it at least once in your career, "You don't trust me," or "Management doesn't trust us." Now if you're honest with yourself, when you've heard either comment, you've tried not to roll your eyes as you've thought to yourself, "Whiner, whiner, whiner." Be honest. We've all done it.

Have You Cleaned Your Business Lately?

When was the last time you cleaned out your car, a closet, or a desk drawer? Why did you clean it? If you're like me, it was probably because when you used it last, you saw something funky on the floorboard, saw some clothes getting smashed in your closet, or you couldn't find something in your desk drawer.

What Have You Learned From an Employee Today?

Today following a leadership training program, I learned from a client's employee that she's seriously considering leaving their company. The employee is well-respected by her peers and has delivered consistently.
