In the world of work, the single greatest asset of successful individuals, teams and organizations is their mindset--what happens in between their ears.
It is not corporate strategy, sales compensation plan, or the market segmentation. It is what each leader, team member, and employee should focus on, believe and create for themselves and others.
Bringing decades of experience of converting human potential into accelerated business, Hugh Blane, presents the fundamental concepts whose implementation will result in dramatic revenue, performance and relationship growth in his new book, "7 PRINCIPLES OF TRANSORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP."
"After working in 43 states and seven countries on three continents, I've witnessed firsthand 65 percent of employees with a chronic case of "JDTM: Just Doing The Minimum," says Blane. "All too often, leaders too are suffering from JDTM and are the carrier of the JDTM virus. They are in turn, devoid of any tangible connection with people who meet and engage the customer on a daily basis."
Poor time management and priority-setting habits.
The exigency of a leader's day-to-day work is one in which continual priority-setting is a necessity but not a reality. Being able to strategically and respectfully say no to bosses, as well as customers, is a key skill transformational leaders have mastered.
You can have employees with all the talent in the world, but you'll never achieve remarkable results until you change their mindset and yours.
