Download or read book Self Confidence for Managers written by D K Hawkins and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-10-14 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you noticed that the most effective managers communicate, think, and behave differently than you do? It might be challenging to motivate your employees as a boss. While it may need additional time and effort, your motivating strategies will pay off since a motivated team is more likely to perform better and make more progress-which helps everyone. Rather than pushing themselves to perform better, many team members frequently reach a plateau and settle for mediocrity. This is where you, as a manager, must take the lead and make an effort to motivate your staff and raise performance standards. Managers' ability to act as effective leaders has become critical in today's world. They should be capable of making critical decisions in a timely manner, which is a necessary component of the professional environment. Their lack of confidence impacts not only their personal lives but also their professional lives. As a result, it is critical for us to comprehend the potent influence of self-confidence on leadership at all managerial levels. The path to self-discovery and self-confidence is frequently intimidating, but what awaits at the end will undoubtedly improve your life. A confident manager is better equipped to deal with obstacles and competition, inspires respect among peers, and derives greater fulfillment and contentment from his work. Learning how to recover confidence might be difficult, if not impossible! That is why I have included excellent ideas in this GUIDE to assist you in gaining confidence in yourself.

Book Leadership for All the Mountains You Climb

Download or read book Leadership for All the Mountains You Climb written by Mark W. Altman M.I.S and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2008-03-25 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadership for all the Mountains You Climb is designed for all who wish to practice and exhibit real leadership in all aspects of their lives- family, school, career, volunteer and civic organizations. The philosophy is based upon the principles of Servant Leadership defined by Robert Greenleaf and Principle Centered Leadership by Dr. Steven Covey. I cover all relevant leadership theories and attempt to align the many theories and styles of leadership into a coherent whole. I advance the argument that leadership, real leadership, not management or power wielding, consists of four aspects: philial love for those you propose to lead, a compelling vision, a source of power, and the management skills to keep the organization in a good position to overcome challenges and take advantage of opportunities. The book is scholarly in nature in that I have provided all my sources, however it is intended to be readable and accessible to teenagers and adults. I have also included help for adults hoping to mentor and teach the next generation of leaders. Leadership for all the Mountains You Climb, is a very serviceable book for a high school or undergraduate survey course on leadership or a very good primer for anyone looking to explore true, lasting, uplifting leadership.

Download or read book Level Up written by Andrea Fredrickson and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-28 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Great leaders inspire action. Gear up, we'll help you become a great manager! For over 30 years, we've watched as companies promote employees into management roles. One day, the employees are welding or entering data into a spreadsheet; and the next day, they have a team of people to lead. But nothing changed except their title. We assume that because they are technically competent people with good intentions, they will be successful in their new role. But being technically competent has very little to do with managing and leading a team. During the first months in management, they will do their best. They will try to manage and lead based upon what they have seen modeled from their previous leaders, picking and choosing what they like and don't like. They will probably try a lot of things. They might ruffle a few feathers along the way. And after time, they'll settle into a routine of surviving. For a long time, this is how most people were promoted into management. Promoting people into roles, regardless of their skills, and then assuming they'll figure it out - eventually. It is with this premise the team at Revela has captured several of the core areas necessary for leading people. While there are many more chapters that could be included, this book outlines the basics of communication, difficult conversations, delegating, managing time, building a team, and developing people. Starting with the belief that managers and employees have good intentions and want to be successful, we have provided a structure to help build confidence and create the foundation for success. Imagine a future where newly promoted managers are given tools, resources, training, and feedback on how to be more effective early in their new role. Or one where these tools were provided before employees are even promoted. This book puts a fresh spin on management practices and challenges 'the way we've always done it.' Managing and leading takes practice. Just like learning the skills that create expert technicians, managers and leaders must be given what it takes to be successful. And then they must intentionally practice and hone those new skills so they can be experts in their new role. Along with other books by Revela, Level-Up was created to provide individuals and companies a guide to help their people be more successful, no matter their role. Level-Up uses research and processes to help people store the information in their long-term memory. Employees are then able to pull that information when they need it, and not just to pass a test. At Revela, we believe employees, those who manage others and those who don't, have the right to be successful. And companies need the best resources to help them. This book uses the knowledge and experiences we've gained over thirty years of working with leaders at all levels, in multiple different industries.Based in Omaha, Nebraska, Revela is one of the region's most experienced thought challengers, helping individual and companies across the country unleash their potential. Revela's passion is fueled by positive experiences and individual growth. With a belief in relationships, community, supporting others, and delivering business results, Revela goes beyond the expected to benefit the collective cause. Fully authentic and down to earth, Revela's confidence and pride stems from the positive change in others.Founded in 1989, Revela believes in the untapped human potential, that everyone has value, and that fundamentally everyone deserves a chance at success. Taking a different approach to development because they see things differently, the Revela team goes beyond the expected to help individuals discover their strengths, transform their weaknesses, and experience an even greater level of professional and personal growth.

This book was released on 2012-09-28 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Globe & Mail's #1 Business Book of the Year! "ALL IN, ALL THE TIME" Low performance and high turnover is not the result of lazy, apathetic workers. It's not about decreasing budgets. And it's not about a terrible economy. It's about leadership that doesn't engage employees. In Nine Minutes on Monday, leadership guru James Robbins argues that employee engagement comes down to one thing: a constant dedication to meeting the universal needs that drive performance excellence. In today's chaotic, high-stakes business environment, it is easy to get distracted from leadership responsibilities by focusing on tasks at hand instead of on strategy. But when you neglect to keep your leadership priorities in front of you, everyone suffers--your staff, your organization and, in the end, you. Whether you lead a small team or an entire organization, you’ll discover the nine keys to raising productivity, boosting morale, and increasing employee engagement. Nine Minutes on Monday combines proven engagement drivers and principles of human motivation into a simple system of execution that will show immediate results. Inside you'll find: The "9 Minute" template for maintaining focus on your leadership priorities--no matter how busy you are Three key questions that will help you connect purpose to paycheck for your staff A four-step formula for addressing subpar performance and driving complacency from the workplace A simple coaching model for fast-track staff development Four reward/recognition tools that will leave your employees feeling valued and motivated The one simple activity that will forge deep bonds of trust between you and your employees Three key ingredients that will immediately increase the motivation level of any employee Being a great leader is never easy, but Robbins breaks it all down into essential components to reveal its fundamental simplicity. Nine Minutes on Monday is your road map to igniting purpose, passion, and engagement among your team members. Master and apply the tools and techniques inside, and your employees will be motivated, inspired, and equipped to bring their best to work each and every day. Quick and simple leadership lessons for boosting performance, morale, and engagement "James Robbins is a terrifi c observer, thinker, and storyteller. He also has marvelous insights about how leaders can help employees become more connected to their work setting. He weaves together personal stories with thoughtful leadership insights into a compelling book. If leaders will do the nine minutes he suggests each Monday morning, they will become what we have called ‘meaning makers' who deliver enormous value to their employees, customers, investors, and communities." -- Dave Ulrich, professor, Ross School of Business, University of Michigan; partner, The RBL Group; coauthor, The Why of Work "It really works!
