Leadership Role #5: Managing the Action Cycle When making requests of team members, a leader must set clear expectations and conditions of satisfaction.

It is then the leader’s responsibility to ensure that these resources (e.g., budget, staffing, and time) are made […]

Last year I posted four words on my bathroom mirror: FINISH, WRITE, SHAPE, and YES. Based on last year’s success, this year I decided to create two four-word categories. One for achievement and one for improvement. Not ‘goals’ in the sense that you may be thinking about – rather intentions that I consciously and subconsciously […]

Leadership Role #4: Building Followership Leaders require followers who are committed to achieving the mission – ideally people who believe in both the vision and the leader and who want to be there. To create such a devoted followership, leaders must remember that they are also followers – not only in the sense of supporting […]

Leadership Role #3: Making Alliances In today’s fractured, highly competitive, information-driven business world, collaboration is the name of the game. Therefore, an important competency leaders must possess is the ability to make smart, strategic alliances. Alliances open up new possibilities, creating new conditions and resources that allow us to play games we could not play […]

Last year I posted four words on my bathroom mirror: FINISH, WRITE, SHAPE, and YES. My results? I finished the 21.5 Unbreakable Laws of Selling. I wrote 1,000 words a week and documented hundreds of ideas. My shape is still plus 20 pounds, so that word will remain this year. I maintained my YES! Attitude, […]
Leadership Role #2: Declaring a Mission By articulating a vision, a leader opens up certain possible paths to the future while closing others. Using our computer industry example, if software is what will be profitable, then it makes little sense to shift resources into hardware production. Apple also made this mistake, and until the advent […]

The week between Christmas and the New Year is the biggest opportunity of your career. And your New Year’s Eve plans are in the way of next year’s success. It amazes me how much “prep time” goes into “What are you doing New Year’s Eve?” The week after the New Year will be a ‘slow […]
