Infos

In order to be at an effective leader you need to be able to gain power within the group structure. But just not any power will do. You need to invite collaborative power from the senior leaders above you, you need to attract that collaborative power from everyone that follows you, and you need to cultivate power from the larger Landscape.What's different in my approach, as being not only a leadership expert but a leadership training expert is I give my students the exact step-by-step process of what they need to do leaving nothing up for interpretation and making sure (what is a very complicated process) is now broken down intoA) very easily understood andB) very easy to implement actions called Starting Now actions.With a five step Starting Now process I teach leaders how to develop a mentoring and supportive relationship with their immediate senior supervisor.With a 10 step Starting Now process I teach the same leaders how to support their followers to create super effective mission centered outcomes resulting in significantly less direct supervision over time.The results:Immediately using the Starting Now actions in Chapter 2 and in the sequence as laid out in chapter 1, these are the trends you will be setting in place that will mature overtime:Examples of negative human behaviors dropFear-caused behaviors dropQuality and quantity of communication increasesMission statement moves to center stageRespect and dignity become preferred behaviorsProfessional relationships dominateClear and achievable performance expectations aboundLeadership provides a support role without giving up powerProblem-solving becomes a team sportProductivity and smart work rules over mediocrityGroup members become involved in creating outcomesInappropriate, toxic behaviors are trouncedGroup members accept more responsibility over timeAbility to deal with adversity increasesIdeas for improvement is a constant conversationTeam members become very good at what they doLeaders grow to very high levels of effectivenessGroup members have confidence to make decisions and know when to include their supervisorContinuous improvement strategy becomes an organic functionThe need for direct supervision continuously dries upLeaders learn to check their ego at the doorAfter Chapters 1 and 2 are implemented you can read the rest of the book. Once Chapters 3 through 7 are fully implemented along with the expertise and knowledge base you have gained, these are the results you will gain over time as the group matures: Identifying a list of behaviors to stop using if you want more group collaborationImplementing a list of behaviors to start using if you want more group collaborationSmartly addressing and eliminating the causes of fear generation in the work environmentReducing complexity of the policies, procedures, and how-to of day-to-day operationsTraining every group member to expert levels in collaboration and technical competencyReducing expensive direct supervision time by providing more autonomyCreating clearly understood objectives that are directly supported by that person's trainingEnsuring smooth productivity by removing roadblocks, adjusting workloads, and setting reasonable deadlines with clear expectations as part of every delegated taskHaving leaders conscientiously train, mentor, and guide the success behaviors of their direct reports
