Wally Bock had a great posting in his Three Star Leadership Blog yesterday. Incorporating habits into what you do everyday is critical to developing the organization. Some highlights:
-
Everyday, you need to make your expectations clear.
-
Everyday, you need to check for understanding.
-
Everyday, you need to use every contact and an opportunity to improve team performance and morale.
-
Coach team members.
-
Encourage good behavior and honest effort.
-
Correct what needs correcting.
-
Counsel those who need it.
-
Everyday, you need to do the hard work of weeding out the unfit and the unwilling.
Great thoughts, tough to practice, but they make the difference between managing and leading.
Thanks for those kind words, Dave.
