The most productive leaders I know have the ability to be extremely nice, very civil and always polite while maintaining the ability to be direct, focused, and candid. Then we have to deconstruct our abilities in each area, map a tactical plan to get better and measure our progress.

Sad but true…real talent won’t be attracted to, or remain engaged with leaders who operate on fear-based tactics. Leaders who attempt to use command and control tactics without the necessary underpinnings of real leadership principles will simply not do well. Loyalty matters… What say you?

Those professionals that have self respect, and demonstrate a true respect for others regardless of their station in life, are much more likely to be successful over the long-term than those that use the tactics of disrespect to humiliate and intimidate.

The gist of the argument seems to be that for teams to be productive, employees have to feel “empowered&# by having an equal voice. And as odd as it may sound, one of the greatest impediments to building productive teams is practicing management by consensus. I can sum-up my feeling on this in one word… ridiculous.

Professionals who succeed the most are the products of mentoring. I have had many excellent ones in my long career and have in turn mentored hundreds of others. The mentor becomes a role model, offering insights about their own life-career. The mentor stands for mentees throughout their careers and celebrates their successes.

However it is my opinion that diversity is not being addressed properly, and as a result has become one of the leading killers of corporate productivity. When you force the diversity agenda for the wrong reasons (no matter how well intended) productivity suffers and resentment grows. In fact, the report points out how “U.S.

I have advocated for many years the concept of the Grand Strategy to drive crisis response using the Golden Hour metaphor as the driving force. Very few management problems are crises, but all crises are management problems. Preplanning executive actions and decisions can avoid career-defining moments.

They didn’t want this book – they wanted a tactical book on sales and marketing. For me businesses are as much or more about the people than they are about the products and markets …so those tough restructuring calls (or sometimes the shut it down calls) are the hardest things ever. I could write that but, it wasn’t my passion.

Perfectionists tend to be very busy, but rarely are they productive. Almost without fail, this tactic is a trite and clichéd attempt to somehow insinuate that speed in decisioning is a weakness, and that quick decisions are somehow synonymous with reckless decisions.
