'A proven best practice to improve as a leader is to create and follow-through on an Individual Development Plan (IDP). An IDP usually defines what you want to get better at and why and how you’re going to get better. Studies on goal attainment prove over that over that people with written, specific plans are more likely to achieve their goals. Most IDPs are written for a one-year time horizon, sometimes even less.

'Posted in Leadership Development Leaders often hate to follow. There’s ego, “I could do this better.” Or vision, “she’s not thinking big enough.” Or style, “that’s not how I would approach it.” When the stakes are high, you might need to jump in.

'Guest post from Jim DuBreuil: If you Google the term, “business maturity,” you will find lots of discussions about the emergence of social networks to drive new business. You’ll also see information about how a line of business “matures” when you implement an effective model, focus on the right priorities and execute rigorously. But I submit to you that understanding your own personal business maturity can yield significant insight into why you succeed or fail to be viewed as a leader.

Most HR leadership philosophies are grounded in two completely faulty assumptions — “change is hard” and “engagement drives results.” Those beliefs have inspired expensive attempts to keep change from being disruptive to employees. What these engagement programs actually do is create and reinforce feelings of victim-hood and leave employees unprepared to adapt to real changes that are necessary for the health and profitability of their enterprises.

'I see leaders laboring to figure out how to deal with a previously good worker whose performance has declined. The leader may go from thinking the individual needs to buck up and get it done, to ignoring or avoiding the person, to putting them on a performance warning without asking what help they might need to get through whatever is impacting their performance.
