Let's Grow Leaders

If you’re like most managers, you’re neck deep in performance agreements, stretch goals, and the dance between managing your boss’s expectations and warning your team not to sandbag. How you spend January can make the difference between a breakthrough and mediocre 2017.

Transforming a business is a lot like changing the tires on a truck while it is slamming down the highway at 90 miles an hour. The business world doesn’t stop just because you need to optimize your operations. No, your business still needs to be able to quickly respond to customer demands with high quality service delivery even when it’s in the midst of great transformation.

When it comes to leadership, there are many facets that we examine and explore in our drive to learn how we can succeed in leading our team and organization. But one aspect that’s rarely looked at is how the way we view our role can leave us creating more of a polarizing effect than a unifying one. It’s a notion that I’ve been pondering about as I observe the reactions to the last week’s inauguration of of the new US president.

Years ago I had a peer (I’ll call her Nancy) who complained constantly about her team. We were both managers of large sales teams, worked for the same overly demanding boss, and had to manage in a period of never-ending restructuring and downsizing. I’ll admit, it certainly was trying and stressful most days, and there were definitely times when I was frustrated with my team.

If you read Stop Playing In The Kiddie Pool the other day, you got a harsh introduction into running your business. You need to be SERIOUS, COMMITTED, & FEARLESS in yourself and your business.

Your team’s ability to work together effectively hinges on trust. And when values are violated, trust disintegrates. Values are our deeply held beliefs about what is right, and we all have values that guide our choices and actions whether consciously or unconsciously.

From time to time through the years, I’ve written on the difference between leadership and management. I am revisiting the subject now because it’s not enough to understand that leadership and management are two different things. I believe that the two are complementary; to be truly effective, you need both. Of course we do have defined tasks as leaders, and managers have a specific role to play too.

Leader, what do you look for when you bring a person on to your team? More importantly perhaps, what expectations do you have for people who serve on your team?

I recently worked my way through Edmund Morris’s first two Teddy Roosevelt biographies, The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt and Theodore Rex. Roosevelt wasn’t without flaws, but he was by nearly all accounts fascinating and intellectually voracious. He published his first book, The Naval War of 1812 , at 23 and continued to write on everything from conservation to politics and biography.

Prioritizing work can be frustrating, especially if you work for a hands-off manager or a company that doesn’t give you clear goals. Most of us face this reality each and every day. The frequently cited research of Robert Kaplan and David Norton shows that more than 90% of employees don’t fully understand their company’s strategy or know what’s expected of them to help achieve company goals.

A century past its formulation as a treatment for neurosis, psychoanalysis has become popular again as a method for explaining all kinds of social torments. Not just among psychologists and artistic types, who have always had their ear to the unconscious — lately, CEOs, politicians, and economists all sound as though they have brushed up on their Freud.
