“Lead, follow, or get out of the way.” We have all heard this famous quote by Thomas Paine, the author of both Common Sense and Crisis that were so influential during the American Revolution. A similar quote has been attributed to General George Patton, “We herd sheep, we drive cattle, we lead people. Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.”
In the last few weeks I have heard this phrase used several times on national news broadcasts. I’ve heard it used in reference to BP and the oil crisis. I’ve heard it used in reference to our President.
Richard Smith, CEO of Cisco Systems, recently said in a Newsweek article, “It’s important to know what you don’t know.” That’s a pretty profound revelation! And it takes a very confident and competent leader to admit that they don’t know everything. Kudos to you, Mr. Smith! Let’s hope other leaders take direction from your words of wisdom.

No matter how experienced we are in life or in business, we each need a good mentor with whom to bounce ideas, ask for trusted advice, or maybe even give us a hug. Younger or less experienced business people use mentors as a trusted advisor. Young and inexperienced new mothers often hook up with a trusted and more experienced mother for much-needed advice!
So, where did the word originate? The wordsmith in me always finds word-origin interesting. Mentor, in Greek Mythology, was the son of Alcumus and a friend of Odysseus. When Odysseus left for the Trojan War he placed Mentor in charge of both his son and his palace. The myth goes on, but…you get the idea. Continue reading ‘Everyone Needs a Good Mentor’ »

Most successful leaders are reported to have a high internal locus of control. People with an internal locus of control take responsibility for their lives and how the world works. Since their belief system values attempts to take control of things that can be managed by them, a great deal of success typically follows. Continue reading ‘Locus of Control in Leadership’ »

High performance managers realize that they cannot do everything alone; therefore they reach out to others for collaboration. Great leaders match people with the jobs that match their individual skills. Excellent leaders hire people who are smarter than they are. A confident leader does not feel threatened by smart people.

Are You Setting Your Team UP for Success?
It is no accident that good leaders have the highest performing departments. Good teams are not happenstance. Rather, good leaders build good teams. Even better…great leaders build great teams.
High-performance employees work for high-expectation managers! That’s right; the higher expectation a boss has of his workers, the higher the performance of his/her staff. The Pygmalion Effect is an age-old phenomenon in which it is shown that our performance is that of a self-fulfilling prophecy. If a boss considers his employees to be smart and productive, that is almost always the type of performance the boss will witness. If a boss believes his employees to be lazy and non-committal at work, this is the performance that will almost always be present in his workers. Employees will live “up to” or “down to” your expectations. Continue reading ‘The Pygmalion Effect at Work’ »

What one job do Executive Coaches perform that their clients feel bring them the most value? Accountability!
Executives and business owners lead very busy lives on many levels. There are business, social, civic, as well as family responsibilities that keep them constantly on the run.
Doesn’t it seem that some people appear to have more time than others? Or maybe they just use their time more wisely. Either way, we all have the same 24 hours in each day, of which, we are only awake and active 18 hours or less.
An Executive Coach will:
- Teach you how to move from inertia to action
- Make sure you have specific, meaningful, and targeted goals
- Ask you about the deadlines and timeframes for these goals
- Hold you accountable for reviewing, revising, and reaching goals
- Teach you how to move from inertia to action to accountability
Let us help get you or your management team focused on winning results. Let us help you reach and celebrate success! Call 901-757-4434.
