Joe Torre, Hall of Fame former manager of the New York Yankees, really knew how to build trust, commitment and loyalty with his players. When players experienced slumps in performance, Torre had their backs. His approach grew out of personal experiences with the frustration that came during disappointing times in his career as a ballplayer. “I hit.360 one season and I hit.240 another year, and I felt I played equally hard both years,” Torre once said.

This tendency is problematic if you are a manager.

I have seen executives using the word “transformation” when they are really referring to “change”. Transformations are more deep rooted than change and it is critical to understand the difference between the two. Here are a few insightful resources that I found useful. Earlier this year, Ron Ashkenas said, “ We Still Don’t Know the Difference Between Change and Transformation ” at Harvard Business Review.

Are you easy to follow as a leader? I might ask — are you followable? Followable may not be a Scrabble approved word — or even a word — but the application and the intent of the word is huge. A followable leader has people who want to follow. See how elementary I can be? Seriously, leaders who are easy to follow inspire people to join them on a journey and they develop loyalty from their team.

Growing up on a Missouri farm, Walt Disney developed a love for drawing after his neighbor, a retired doctor known as “Doc” Sherwood, paid him to draw pictures of his horse. Disney later became a newspaper cartoonist and commercial artist, where he learned how to make commercials from cutout animations.

“I have so much to do that I live in constant fear of dropping the ball, failing to meet expectations, or worse.” This is a common refrain I hear from the executives and physicians I work with who are struggling to juggle the relentless demands of meeting professional, family, social and community obligations. Too many frantic days can leave you feeling exhausted, unbalanced and unfulfilled — like you’re trying to do so much that you end up doing none of it well.

Being promoted to manager is a good sign you’ve been successful to date — however, the road from this point forward gets trickier to navigate. Your job is no longer just about getting the work done.

Operational tough guys like to tease effete strategy types by voicing the claim that: “A mediocre strategy well-executed will always trump a great strategy poorly executed.” It’s a good sound bite, to be sure, but how can they tell that a strategy is “great” if it is “poorly executed” and presumably produces mediocre or worse results?
