Bosses on training courses or encouraging people to undertake learning is not enough – we all have that ‘what’s in it for me’ and being good or better at a job I do anyway does not always cut it. That’s what a leader does. They learn more from what you do, than what you say. Know about the change.

It has been a huge learning for me throughout my own life and career that presence is sometimes all that is needed.

Sad, but true; much of my life and career I have attempted to achieve perfection in everything I do. Be willing to change course when necessary. It definitely has not enabled me to find a great job/career path as fast as I had hoped. What will you be doing? What will it feel like? Envision yourself doing your best.

Mary Jo Asmus : November 10, 2010 at 7:24 pm Bret, of course you are right. It reminds me of the research that Gallup did (chronicled in the book How Full Is Your Bucket by Tom Rath) that identified the optimal mix of positive to negative comments as 5 to 1.

Ask and keep track It’s a simple concept to respect others enough to ask them what they want and then to follow through and give it to them (within reason, of course).
