How effective are your leadership skills?

Help Others Achieve Personal Excellence...

How Are You As A Coach?

By definition, a manager is one who gets things done through others. Your job is to do whatever you can to assist other people in accomplishing their tasks to the best of their abilities. As an effective manager, it is your job to do everything you can to help others succeed. Focus first on your support of others today, then on their production."We all have ability. The difference is how we use it


"The chief executive who knows his strengths and weaknesses as a leader is likely to be far more effective than the one who remains blind to them. He also is on the road to humility -- that priceless attitude of openness to life that can help a manager absorb mistakes, failures, or personal shortcomings


The truth is, you won't accomplish much by yourself. You need the contribution, cooperation and commitment of others to move your dreams and goals off the page and into your life. When leading, managing and directing others, your primary responsibility is to do whatever you can to help them accomplish their tasks—to the best of their abilities—in as short a period of time as possible.

What Do You Expect From Your Team?Again I ask, do you know what you want? Can you clearly articulate it? Do others understand what you want from them?Can you lead them to the goal? Your productivity is not measured by how much you can get done in a day, but by how much your team accomplishes as a whole. You must learn how to coach and support co-workers without taking on their duties and responsibilities. No one learns if you do their work for them. Create an environment where everyone's performance is raised to their highest potential possible -- and mutual goals are achieved timely. "We all have ability. The difference is how we use it.
