Suggest You - Building Leadership From The Ground Up
"I don’t care what the project is, I'm not committing to anything until the budget is worked out!" We've all heard that one. Or how about, "I know what the boss said but when it comes time to account for sales it is going to be me, not you, I'm not doing it!" Ever heard a tirade like that before? Both of those attitudes and the many that go with them will kill your project.Leadership is a lost art in today’s world. It’s tough to hold any one accountable. My goodness we have t

I ran across an interesting article in Wired magazine this week that told the tale of Kolo Soro, an elementary school teacher in the tiny village of Tomono in the northern Ivory Coast of Africa. This is an area so remote and void of technology that for generations communication between villages has been done by tying notes to rocks and having passing trucks toss them out the window at pre-described locations.Kolo Soro changed all that when he purchased a cellphone during a
The downside is that very rarely is there any kind of supervision/management training until they reach their new level, if they receive any at all. (You can read my Leadership and the Harry Potter Syndrome article in regards on that subject.) So in effect, we roll the dice, and hope we picked someone that can be an effective leader.
But what if we decided to offer Leadership training from the ground level?
There are some Leadership/Management skills that would not be advantageous to train on, since the individual contributor wouldn’t have opportunity to use them. However, there are skills focused on in virtually every leadership training, such as the topics listed below that could be presented at the ground level.

Most companies focus on developing a brochure, a slick 4 color tri-fold brochure with pictures, the name of their company, phone number, etc. That's actually how people treat it It's just a brochure with very little meaning. It's treated with low perceived value and usually ends up in the garbage. Most brochures developed are full of "me too" or copy focused on the company itself.How can you promote your company or establish some type of expertise and put it into

Of course, she then offered me a six-month process, costing thousands of dollars to get me back on track. However, I must say she was ethical in her approach and suggested I get a medical check up to rule out any physical or mental-health issues.I agreed and decided to go for the best and reserved a week at the Mayo clinic. I signed up for the concierge service that included all of the latest, cutting-edge medical studies — even genetic-code analysis. For a week, I was probed

Think of a factory floor, office grouping, and any type of work group sans management. Sans because management is at meetings, meetings and more meetings. You have a work group that now has learned to communicate more effectively, have the skills to handle potential conflict issues that arise, understand how to work closely together even across what had been silos and have a clear idea of company goals and are motivated and enabled to get there. Would that be advantageous to the work group, division, company? By providing the knowledge and skills needed to create that positive behavior change, the results would only be positive on a measurable scale.
Also by providing your people with more effective communication and conflict resolution, those type of skills could likely be used at home. An employee with a happier and more fulfilling personal life most certainly circles back as a happier and more motivated worker.
