Performance Management Versus Performance Leadership

April 6th, 2011

I went to a door at the Motel Ramada Inn South in search of Mrs. E. She is the wife of the owner and general manager of the hotel. I looked away from me on the sidewalk to the restaurant. She did not see me. Suddenly she went into the grass to a small piece of paper to take. Then she looked at me. She said: “Jim McGriff, never over a piece of paper.” I do not have a note this guide is the power to set an agenda in my head, not happen .. find a piece of trash.

I think the formal performance management for managers. It is measurable support measures for your department in general determined by management. Most of the time, the fight you and your staff for their effects on these measures department show. Performance management is mostly gibberish to the front line staff. The yield is the definition of leadership programs for the people. the front-line managers need to set the agenda of their service within the meaning of the employee. What is the main function of the department? We need to solve this problem in a humane manner. Not as a formal performance management. How do you measure the attitude and team work?

The Command-Leadership Paradox

March 10th, 2011
A manager is not necessarily a leader. If you’re in business, it is important to understand the difference.

Command and leadership are two different things.

It is easy to order people to do something. It is difficult to do them.

You may have seen this model of leadership – the managers told employees what to do, how and when. And, yes, they do. Or at least not as much as they should, but probably not much more.

Why? Because they were not motivated or inspired. You just added a set of instructions. This is the command style of leadership.

In some organizations, management will attempt to accurately define each task for each employee – it is a waste of time. If you are in a leadership position, you will need to remain high. Practice of true leadership, room for initiative, innovation and lateral thinking. Instead of accurately determined how to do something, give employees the purpose and tell them “make it possible.”

If this in the guide give employees the autonomy of the way work is done, it inspired her. It encourages them to more and because of their position in the organization to do those at the front know how to do better yet.

There are times, but when you do not fail to claim to be the order.For example, faced with a disaster. The command style of leadership is crucial if something needs to happen now, and there is no time for questions or discussion.

February 7th, 2011
Change in an organization are usually created by top executives and are committed for very good reason. Leadership and Change is supporting the organization of the mission, vision and values, but by the time change affect your ministry and reach your customers and employees, which is usually presented as a tactic.

In other words, we have to explain very well how changes occur and how they affect our jobs, but we forget why. Interpersonal skills develop when people feel involved. The “why” embodies the spirit and purpose of a new activity. Once employees understand “why”, the “how” is often easier to spot. Open channels of communication.Employees need to feel open and comfortable talking informally in an environment where every opinion equally considered. If changes occur, employees should be included, and a speaker involved.As I find the 7 steps below the critical.
