Article Directory :: Self-Improvement/Motivation Articles
This article is a taster to give you some brain food for career progress. How many really talented, stand out Managers are out there? The real top of the pile 'can do' managers that never say no. How many would be managers who have the talent and the imagination to be a top of the pile Can Do manager? At the moment I bet there are hundreds, maybe thousands. I wonder.
Who has carried out a Benchmarking exercise? Not many I guess. I would ask why not, because it could open all sorts of gates for you and your company. Can you imagine the power contained in serious information being garnered about your main competitors and published by you in such away as to elevate you to being your Company's expert in the field?
When was the last time you really thought about treating your team as individuals? Actually Its quite easy. Most managers look forward to having team meetings but find it difficult to appeal to different levels of competence within the team when in reality it is quite easy. You tell the same story in different words three different ways. Difficult? Complicated? No it's actually very easy and quite powerful. You will know the adage of making a presentation I'm sure. Get out front, tell them what you are going to tell them. Tell them and then tell them what you have told them. Instead of saying it 'off pat' you alter it so as to appeal to three different levels of experience or expertise or intellect. By doing this and then publishing the technique you are writing an internal paper. How many people do you know that does that?
If anyone has carried out serious projects of their own volition and single handedly published and presented the results it could be that they are on their way. Our brain needs exercise it needs motivating to be at its best. And for many years it has been a knotty issue to actually write a programme that allows the imagination of a creative mind to actually apply all that talent to reality.
Often it has been said to me. "I would love to find the time to..." My response is always the same. "The best people are the busiest people". Have you noticed that if you want anything done you give it to the busiest person? It always seems to be that person who takes time off for vacation. They are relaxed and confident. Almost certainly this will be a 'can do' manager.
What every aspiring person wants is somone to tap them on the shoulder and give them a guiding hand. To make them look different and stand out. It is very unlikely to happen though. Who could be your champion?
Who do you know who would take the time to coach you on issues like understanding the real difference between managing people and managing things, describing the difference between leadership and management.
Can you think of ways to manage people? I hope not because it is almost impossible. You can instruct them and have them work by prescription. I suppose that is managing them but poor practice don't you think? Actually you probably already lead your people and call it management... What about things though, like atmosphere or computers or furniture. you sure can't lead them can you they have to be managed, or lead people to manage them for you There you have it then. You lead people and manage things. There is a whole lot more to this and once the techniques are learned they should be published and you publish a paper in your name across the Company for your benefit.
If any one is going to seriously succeed in today's competitive environment they better be prepared to stand out! Ideas on how to be creative when your nose is so close to day to day activity are understandably hard to come by so the manual applies a self reward motivation based on timescales and deadlines. It tells people how to be creatively busy. Giving that serious challenges that are unlikely to be undertaken involuntarily, require coaching, so what is suggested here is never mind how difficult, what is the reward? Your reward for yourself I mean. Frankly it does not matter so long as it is realistic.
Include your wife or partner in your self reward and have them share in your achievement. Go to the Theatre or a nice restaurant. Why not tell your manager that you are celebrating too?
Do you recall The ladder of success? Are you on it, I mean really on it? You would feel a bit aggrieved if someone came up on the inside rail and overtook you on the ladder I'll bet. Do you think that if it were to happen it would be a creative, ambitious Can Do person who has moved ahead?
So it is up to you to move ahead and find a way to use the inside rail to your advantage.If you concentrate quality time on your progress and make it impossible to be overlooked the satisfaction level will be enourmous.
How To Grow Your Managers Brain Muscle is for everyone that has aspirations for their career! Your career more than ever is in your hands nobody is going to look after you as well as you can. Following the guidelines in this manual will put you in the strongest position to have your career enhanced. Not by shortcuts but by well founded and proven methods that will be easy for you to follow if you have the will. Go to http://www.my-bookworm.com
