Being straightforward and clear seem like easy concepts. But just because something isn’t complicated doesn’t mean it’s easy. Most managers/ leaders could use some help in the clarity & directness department.
Want to cut on-the-job stress, confusion, and hassles? Look no farther than the upfront agreement, a powerful and underused trick to reduce the pain of managing, improve attitudes, and ensure outcomes.
The SMART acronym is a great tool to ensure specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, timely goals and action steps. It helps us clarify what we want to accomplish and set deadlines to produce the results we want in the timeframes we need.
Familiar with the expression, “You manage systems and lead people”? Most managers fall into the trap of “delegating on the fly” because they don’t take the time necessary to fine-tune their delegation systems.
Strategic planning rarely is associated with increased energy and rekindled passion – at least not initially.
We look forward to getting to know you!
