How you handle mistakes says a lot about you, and your leadership. |
If you're not making mistakes, you're not doing anything. ~ John Wooden
How do you deal with mistakes that happen within your teams or organizations?
Not only does he suggest what to avoid, he discusses successful ways to "lead" through
mistakes. Jon also compiled thoughts from several of my fellow Lead Change Group Instigators, who offer models and best practices. Worth the read! (You'll see my two cents at the
very end in the comments section.)
P.S. When it comes right down to it, how do you have those discussions about mistakes, yours or theirs? Be
on the lookout in the next month or so for my latest program for you to deal with those discussions that you dread, to take them from being daunting to doable. (I really didn't plan all those d-words. It just came out that way :)

Get your Fre/e Guide to "Get the Most of Your One-on-One Meetings with Your Employees" |
Let's start with thinking about how your one-on-one's with your boss go. What's that? You don't have them? Or you are expected to run the show? Well, that's appropriate in some
cases, but you can do as a manager can do SO MUCH by applying some deliberate thought to how you run these meetings with your employees.
I believe the one-on-one relationships you have with your employees creates a foundation of excellent productivity and performance for you both. By deliberately setting aside planned time to cover meaningful topics you set the tone to create strong,
trusting, reliable relationships and understand what really motivates your employees.
So please, don't wait any longer to claim your fr/ee copy of this guide, and take your meetings from perfunctory to productive!
The Empowered Manager's Success Kit
|
To be a "good" manager of people it's understood that you are responsible for motivating your employees, for guiding them through rough patches, for being there when they need you and particularly to answer their questions. This is all well and good until your
good intentions result in your employees becoming too dependent on you, and they stop challenging themselves to be more resourceful.
The Empowered Manager Success Kit is full of tools and guides to help you move from the "good" manager mindset to that of an empowered manager, one who is comfortable without their own authority, using it for right and noble reasons.
The really interesting thing about YOU becoming more empowered is that it makes
room for your employees own resourcefulness and brilliance to blossom. You want to be a part of that, right?
