Comment on Build Leadership Like Infrastructure… Cuz It IS Infrastructure. by Glenn M

Hi Bryan, I agree with your opinion but the reality is that far too organizations do this. Most operate under the expectation that leaders will just know what to do – sink or swim. Far too many of my previous direct reports have moved on (by design) and then reached out to me after to tell me how shocked they are by how bad their new managers are. They don’t lead, coach or communicate. They often feel more prepared to lead than their manager. I too have been surprised by the lack of ability of managers to build leadership into their team.
They seem very good at managing results but have no clue or desire aroundbuilding leaders.

Why do you suppose there is such a lack of leadership in the work place around this?

Couldn’t agree more. Every day there is always something new to learn. I always like to remind my team whenever they have problems and approach me, I would like them to come with both the problems & solutions.

Comment on Improve your Say:Do ratio by Toby Joplin

Well said! Say:Do is the #1 criteria that I use in evaluating ANY business relationship. I would rather have a potential $100,000 customer with a high Say:Do Ratio than a potential $1,000,000 customer with a low Say:Do Ratio. “What you do speaks so loudly that I can’t hear what you say.”
