Seven tips for nurturing leaders!
In one of my earlier blog posts, I listed the five areas where I found successful managers excelled based on research I did for my thesis. Last night, while perusing the new copy of BusinessWeek, I found a great article that lists seven tips for nurturing leaders in an organization. The seven tips are:
- Dare to differentiate
- Constantly raise the bar
- Don’t be friends with the boss
- Become easy to replace
- Be inclusive
- Free up others to do their jobs
- Keep it simple
I won’t go into the details on each of these, but check out the free article on BW’s website to learn more. These are great tips and support some of my thesis research findings. In general, I think managers fall short in many of these areas, but especially with number four. Maybe it’s because they think they will be working themselves out of a job… Many people tend to keep information to themselves and never find time to update documentation. Can you say, “Job security”? If you want to be successful in a management role, try improving in one or all of these areas! Start today and I don’t think you will be disappointed come your next performance review.
