Passing on Vital Information


Every leader needs vital information to make correct decisions.
People who withhold vital information are sabotaging your ability to manage. Successful groups work as a team and there’s a free flow of vital information. This allows management to do a good job and the team to function in harmony.
Imagine your right leg not knowing what your left leg was doing? It would be pretty hard to walk.
Communication of vital information makes an effective and united team.
Interested in their work & the Organisation
Interest is an interesting thing. It’s not physical but you can see it. It means: Wanting to know or learn about something or someone; the quality of holding the attention.
When people are absorbed in their phones or Facebook — that’s interest.
You want the same level of interest in their job, the people around them, and the challenges to be overcome.
Disinterested people are horrible to be around, remember the last time you were trying to get something done and people didn’t care?
It takes a high level of interest in people and works to succeed.
Keeping Promises & Following Through
Let’s face it — real results, real project completion — require follow through.
Anything worthwhile takes effort and persistence, otherwise, everyone would do it! Follow through is needed in every role from the top of the organisation to the very bottom.
You need teammates you can trust, to move with certainty and speed. It’s hard to go full speed ahead if no one’s got your back!
People who keep their promises and follow through are more valuable.
A fit for their role & the Organisation
No matter how valuable the person, they have to be a fit for your organisation, your culture.
Same goes for the role. A creative chef is not a fit for an accounting role unless you want to cook the books!
A grumpy, but high performing salesperson may not fit a young, groovy start-up.
Business is more fun & productive with people who are a fit.

7 Habits Of Highly Respected People That Are Worth Mirroring

What is more precious than gold? The thing you cannot buy, the thing you cannot command or cause. Respect is the thing that has to be earned, not demanded. But what sets apart people we admire and respect? Those people have cultivated right habits. Habits that are worth mirroring and cultivating more than anything else: Accessibility Highly respected people are often down-to-earth. They know that respect might elevate you, but you find it on the ground. Those people are truly accessible. Instead of building walls of elitism around themselves, they build bridges. Without being accessible it'a really hard to earn respect. When boss gets out of the office to talk to the stuff, listen to their ideas and complains - it makes a difference. Appreciation Saying "thank you" takes only few seconds, but only few people prefer to do this. Showing your gratitude is one an of the most important habits you can cultivate. Even if your appreciation goes unnoticed it still mat...

The Future for Political Leadership Development

The way that we look at leadership is changing. With politics, elections and businesses facing the combined challenges of emerging technologies, newer working practices and increased interests and developmental index expectations, our approach to identifying and nurturing future leaders needs to evolve. Instead of focusing on a minute crop of creek actors, or thugs are potential leaders, we now need to foster a more collective and intelligent leadership mindset and build a culture in which future leaders can grow and thrive. Academic intellectualism and a well articulated political culture should be a well-articulated politics. There are two major shifts helping to drive this approach Identification of political potential leaders by influence, academic excellence, network and behaviours rather than by their role in the mastery of the guns or position within the business. This arises from moving towards leaner, flatter, non-hierarchical political or youth organizations. Indivi...

How to Get a Good Reference

A request for your references is often the last hurdle before your job offer comes through. If the company is hesitating or deciding between you and another candidate, then a great reference is crucial in gaining that advantage. It is essential that you carefully consider who you will ask and that your referee fully understands the type of role you are applying for and the type of skills and experience that the job requires. Who should you ask? Try to find a balance between asking someone who appears quite senior and therefore more credible, with someone who has detailed knowledge of your capabilities. This may be a university professor, former boss, past supervisor. Approaching people who did not work closely with you could be pointless if they are unable to provide real insight into your career history. If someone appears reluctant to provide a reference, don’t try too hard to persuade them. Most likely they either are unwilling to provide a favourable reference or feel unable ...
