MONDAY MORNING LEADERSHIP TIP #191
The 70-20-10 Rule to Being an Effective Leader |
What is the 70-2-10 Rule?  It's about how you spend your time:
- 70% spent in challenging assignments
- 20% spent in developing and maintaining relationships
- 10% spent in training and professional development
Leaders need to be constantly involved in new experiences and challenges that foster learning so they can grow in strength and effectiveness. This can be through new opportunities, through crisis, or through significant challenges.
Once considered a 'soft skill' but now considered a core competency, leaders must develop and strengthen relationships with bosses, mentors, peers and direct reports. Effective leadership cannot happen in a vacuum. Relationship development is vital so the leader experiences harmony and spends very little time in conflict resolution.
And though coursework and training makes up only 10% of a leader's development and effectiveness, it's a critical 10% -- The Center for Creative Leadership states: "well-designed coursework and training have an amplifier effect; clarifying, supporting and boosting the other 90% of your learning!"
Be a 70-20-10 leader -- and set the example for your staff by investing in your own development and helping direct reports do the same.
