Answer to last weeks leadership question of the week

Answer to last weeks leadership & team development question Info ThreeBrainSynergy – Monday, August 24, 2009

Here is Friz Glaus’ answer to last weeks leadership question along with a video interview with Fritz  sharing his views on the subject. Watch the video on You Tube

Leadership question of the week of August 17th 2009:

 

What type of person and what style of leadership are required in a leader intent on developing a team of managers and/or vice-presidents reporting directly to him who are self-directed and fully autonomous?

 

 

I would like to deal with this question in relation to a specific group of business people rather than to leaders in general. The basic leadership  requirement will be the same, but I would like to focus on the specific business leaders that ThreeBrainSynergy is addressing, namely company owners (Presidents or CEO’s) whose innate style of leadership is that of quick action. They decide and act quickly themselves and they expect quick action from the vice-presidents and other executives who report directly to them. They also expect their direct reports to be able to carry out such action without the need for detailed explanations.  Read more

Focus on process

When I meet business owners to talk about my services and learn where they need help I usually write the word problems on the top of the page under results and then draw a vertical line down the page under problems.

I explain that businesses have two types of problems and on one side of the line I write the word Process and on the other side People.

Business owners and leaders need to make sure that the organization can solve process and people problems effectively in order to succeed.

Here is a set of articles sent to me from Wayne Vanwick of the Acheivement Center that can be more useful to business owners.

Good articles on business process & success.  A must read
