Like many new managers, I had been promoted because I was ambitious and good at the front-line work. Have you seen this happen with other new managers–perhaps even with yourself? Good training helps managers understand themselves and manage their own emotional states. It’s not so unusual.

If you manage 2 or more employees, it’s a good idea to have regular team meetings. 1-2 of these is usually enough for any routine team meeting, given the amount of energy required to work through meaty issues. Manage individual performance. This is lazy management! Allow enough time – at least an hour.

As well, I seem to have more energy when I feel that the work I do is important enough for you to pitch in from time to time. But then I wondered. You add a good one.

People create performance. And because managing performance is driven by theories and not ‘laws’ (unlike gravity or inertia), it requires a certain preparation to practice. In short, strategic people management never has a cookie cutter approach (sorry to disappoint, but the hard truth is that).

You need to evaluate the amount of output you get from a team member (the results of their work) and compare that to the amount of time and energy you have to invest in them to get it. We call that second piece 'leadership capital.' The result of those comparisons is the Leadership Matrix (or 'the box' for short).

Good managers study time management techniques. Great managers, by contrast, realize a fundamental fact: their time, not budget or staffing levels, is their scarcest resource and their team must be staffed and organized in a way that will maximize their own, personal impact. They were uniform in their praise.

One response, from Susan Mazza (check out Susan’s Blog, Random Acts of Leadership here) is that leaders follow when they want to empower others to lead. And that, I think is one of the paradoxical things about leadership. I love it because the dynamics of the team of NCIS agents is so full of energy. Courage to take risk.
