Wh...What is Leadership?<br />March 17, 2012 By Tom Gurda<br />What is Leadership? <br />Natural born Leadership styles are the type of Leaders that are followed by people who follow them because they want to. These types of Leadership styles vary slightly but in general have a lot in common with one another. <br />The Definition of a Leader:<br />“One who has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions and the compassion to listen to the needs of others.” In “The Leadership Engine”, Noel Tichy describes a Leader’s responsibility: “Enhancing the value of assets and sustaining growth are still the ultimate goals. This is accomplished by developing others to be leaders, creating Leaders at every level, and getting them aligned and energized.”<br />Leadership as it pertains to Leading a Facility(s): Word of mouth is powerful… build a reputation of credibility person by person.Build a management team that has knowledge and understanding of Leadership and you build credibility. A team with strong credibility throughout the facility can achieve desired goals while maintaining a high level of morale. In order to achieve the higher levels of morale, it starts at the top. Leaders should leave their personal issues at the door and maintain a high level of morale. The Leader’s state of mind can become contagious. Momentum can grow and a sense synergy can be realized. Achieving goals requires teamwork. Achieving teamwork requires credibility. Combine a high degree of both and the result will be synergy.<br />All management in a given operation can be (and, often are) judged by the individual actions of any member of the team. In other words, one bad apple taints the rest …Or, an entire team can be considered credible.<br />Assess individual strengths/vulnerabilities of existing teammates and determine where each would be well placed. Identifying, placing and training a management team that covers all areas with precision and consistency requires discretion and good judgment. Sharing these judgment calls with partners (HR, Superiors, Peers, etc) can help. http://www.leadership-business.com<br />Specific steps to support a Leadership strategy:<br />Learn Operations … Understand.<br />Learn all reports, examine formulas, and understand. Teach. <br />Determine low hanging fruit and learn/teach all resources available that might help achieve.<br />Delegate/assign w/ expected timelines clear. Avoid overloading team. Prioritize.Daily start up meetings to get and keep entire team on same page. <br />Coach, train, and develop. <br />One on ones… <br />“At the end of the day, you bet on people not strategies.” Larry Bossidy, CEO HoneywellTom Gurdahttp://www.leadership-business.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574186837508212099.post-24040708792575522052011-09-05T17:46:24.361-04:002011-09-05T17:46:24.361-04:00Eleanor - I'm with you on this one!Eleanor - I'm with you on this one!John Bishophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13628653965740158626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574186837508212099.post-73641883864125384682011-08-28T02:46:07.640-04:002011-08-28T02:46:07.640-04:00Tough call.

But in this case, I don't think the middle of a competition (or in business, a major difficulty) is the right time to start experimenting, especially if what you have been doing so far has been serving you pretty well and you're not in dire straits at all.Eleanorhttp://mbaa.fuqua.duke.edu/ldi/documents/CMOEAppliedStrategicThinkingBrochure.pdfnoreply@blogger.com
