As promised, because You Never Stop Learning (YNSL), I want to suggest to you opportunities for continuing to learn, for investing in yourself as a leader or manager of team members, for continuously working on developing those leadership skills and abilities that make such a difference to our success. |
|
Begin today by think about these questions:
- Do your team members consider that you're focused on their specific behaviors - or might you be drifting into judging attitudes rather than behaviors (a black hole for any manager of others!)
- Do your team members believe you consider them confident, competent and useful? Do you convey that message to them?
- Do you encourage participation? The right kinds of shared decision-making?
Before YOU answer, how would your TEAM MEMBERS respond to these questions?
- Is it time for a refresher - for you - in some of the leadership basics?
There's nothing wrong with "sharpening the saw" as we know, so think about what you could do...

1. Essential Skills of Leadership (just 1.5 - 2.0 hours of your self-paced time in an eLearning  course) - this can be the first step to developing successful managers. By focusing on three critical management skills, the program establishes a methodology for productive interactions between team members and team leaders. The Essential Skills of Leadership helps experienced managers, new managers, and aspiring managers refocus on the basics - the skills required to manage the individual while also leading the team. Give yourself the gift of ESL - I told you no huge $$$ - this course can "sharpen your saw" for for $40!
