Title: The Management You Don't Practice


It was Peter F. Drucker who said, “If you want something new, you have to stop doing something old”.
Too much talk and less walk has made dwarfs of, and crippled many potentially great lives and businesses. Part of the confusion in the world today is caused by information overload. Too many people know, only a few act on what they know.

It seems very true that we loose the power to act on the right things when we talk too much for so long about it.(That's by the way).

I've worked with so many business owners who have very great visions, believe in and want to encourage team work, and talk so much in management meetings about allowing employees' Job descriptions be unique to their areas of strength - but, most times, such talks end at the meetings.

The temptation or the need will always be there to multi-task yourself or your employees. But, as far as I know, you, or your people under-perform in your areas of core competence when you multi-task often.  

The best managers are those who know how to harness their own energy and that of their people in a complementary way that helps the business achieve its major objectives.


Action Step: Increase the productivity in your area of core competence by reducing your work load and removing the distractions. Do same for your employees, and set a standard for result for them.
