As we rapidly approach Q4, it is my most sincere hope that you will take pause for a bit of reflective thinking – I would ask that you ponder the following question: “Am I so busy that I’ve lost the ability to be as productive as I need to be? Remember that most people who fail just quit a bit too early in the process.

Give me real leaders who possess courage, vision, and a bias toward action, and spare me the timidity of mediocre managers posing as leaders.

I’m a huge advocate of refining initiatives that allow any level of talent to be developed to the maximum potential. Leaders and non-leaders alike need career-pathing, training and development. I’m just not a believer in attempting to label someone as a leader, and develop them as such when they are clearly not.

Then we have to deconstruct our abilities in each area, map a tactical plan to get better and measure our progress. In whatever role we choose to excel, we first must 'know' the inter-connected elements that define competency. Short of this, saying we need to be more disciplined is like shooting at a target in the fog.

Quality is not something that managers assign others to achieve. Rather than assume all is wrong or right with an organization and take a defensive posture, management must view quality as essential to their economic survival or growth.

And as odd as it may sound, one of the greatest impediments to building productive teams is practicing management by consensus. To be blunt, the concept of equality in the workplace has only made team building more difficult as employees seem to have a sense of undeserved entitlement with regard to their roles and responsibilities.

Steinbrenner was a larger than life leader, who’s micro managing tactics repeatedly came under fire. Everyone knew that if, as a manager, you weren’t producing winning teams… you’d be gone. In my opinion, one of the reasons many managers struggle is that they don’t follow-through on consequences.
