I recently read New Brand Leadership - Managing the Intersection of Globalization, Localization and Personalization by Larry Light and Joan Kiddon. Not a lot of new concepts, however it certainly pushed me to look and think of things differently - particularly from a brand leadership vs. brand management perspective.

I read Self Leadership - How to Become a More Successful, Efficient, and Effective Leader from the Inside Out by Andrew Bryant and Ana Kazan. This is the difference between leadership and management - leadership is about effectiveness, management is about efficiency. See my post on leadership vs management.

Lately I have been using a slightly different time management technique which I call the "See Do" method. Where the system has flaws and things required to make it effective: 1 - All other time management systems (including the ones I write about in my time management book ) use a priority system. See a spot, wipe it.

I wrongly gave credit to the procrastination log yesterday to the wrong author (perhaps I read too many time management books). Perhaps that is why my Time Management book is only 77 pages (or perhaps it is because it is more efficient to only write 77 pages). In one or two pages a leadership concept is presented and expanded on.

Something that might take 6 hours uninterrupted time. But I had a few calls scheduled. And an appointment. Things that broke up my days. So, I did not start the big project.

My new See Do Time Management System where I just do something when I see it works well on tidying and cleaning but is actually less efficient in many cases. The See Do system is sort of like the time management trick "always leave a room just a bit neater/cleaner than when you arrived". Both are critical leadership traits.

The first 30 days of a 90 day plan in a new leadership role seems obvious to me. My experience is many of the decisions that are pressed for are simply not well thought through which is why previous management did not implement them. They are "Listen and Learn". Some of the things to focus on learning: 1 - Peoples names.

So of course I was interested to read Laurence Weinzimmer and Jim McCooughey's book - The Widsom of Failure - How to Learn the Tough Leadership Lessons Without Paying the Price. Managers sometime hoard power thus limiting themselves and their organizations. This is one way for companies to innovate. Easy to say, tough to do.
