Leadership requires the courage to surround yourself with employees who are potentially better at their jobs than you are at yours.
Admitting Ignorance

Pushing for Change
“In a time of constant change, one thing hasn’t
changed: Organizations are still resistant to change.”
Robert Reich

“If you are in middle management, don’t be a wimp. Don’t sit on the sidelines waiting for the senior people to make a decision so that later on you can criticize them over a beer—‘My God, how could they be so dumb?’ Your time for participating is now.”
Andrew Grove, CEO Intel

Blowing the WhistleMost workers are far too faint-hearted for whistle
blowing. Too many exhibit an unquestioning,
even fearful, reverence for authority.

Addressing Performance Issues If you’re like most managers, you tend to blame yourself for an employee’s disappointing performance.

Trusting Your Employees
Many managers find trusting their employees highly anxiety-provoking because of the risk involved. The urge to peek over their shoulders, or even do the work themselves, is great.

Commitment: the belief that
stressful events are not threatening, but
interesting and meaningful.

development.

why jargon?Speakers sometimes invoke workplace jargon to impress others, or to establish their membership in an elite faction. Some use jargon to exclude or confuse others, or to mask their own inexperience or lack of knowledge.

“You Loop Back to Me.” You telephone, e-mail, text, or otherwise communicate with me later. Bandwidth. Computer term used to describe the capacity to handle a job (“I’m not sure we have the bandwidth to handle this many new clients”).
