We are recognised for our capabilities and potential and promoted into our first leadership role. We have been given charge over our colleagues and now have additional responsibilities.

Working Through Others Who Are Not Working 11:42

15d ago11:42

11:42

The chain of command is a well established military leadership given. I have three stripes, you have none, so do what I say or else. In the post war period, this leadership idea was transposed across to Civvy street by returning soldiers.

10:51

Japan has a wonderful year end tradition where the entire house is given a massive clean up. Dust is dispatched, junk is devolved and everything is made shipshape.

The ad on social media said, “we are looking for sales A players”. I know the guy who put out the ad and he had recently moved to a new company, a new entrant into Japan and they were aggressively going after market share here.

Years ago I inverted the pyramid and promoted the best salespeople to become the branch leaders.

Micro Leadership Techniques In Japan 11:40

Time is the enemy of good leadership. It takes time to develop a team of individuals. A common metaphor is the orchestra conductor.

The Leadership Equation 13:07

I remember reading once about a President reflecting on the cost controls he had instituted inside his organisation.

Giving people orders is fine and fun, when you are the leader. Not so great when you are on the receiving end though.

The President of a company is a very powerful force. They drive the direction, the strategy and the culture formation inside the enterprise.

Leadership-Key Competencies Needed To Lead Others-Part One 14:11

Leading is super easy. You are given the title, the authority, the budget, the power and then you just tell people what they need to do. How hard can that be?

4M ago14:06

14:06

Japan has some set pieces around leadership. The Middle Manager boss sits at the head of an array of desks arranged in rows, so that everyone in the team can be seen.

In Karate we do the predetermined, specified fo…

Why We Need Phase Three Thinking 13:48

4M ago13:48

13:48

In business we live in the world of shallow statements of opinion. Imagine there is a topic for discussion amongst the leadership team.

Holistic Time Management For Leaders 10:57

4M ago10:57

10:57

Leaders are now leading invisible people. Their staff are no longer in sight or at best are only visible in person a couple of days a week. What are their people doing at home?

Staffing is a subject that gets a lot of attention from those within and without the organisation. Those outside see staff movements as a bellwether of how the company is travelling.

Recently, I was teaching a class of APAC executives on how to handle pushback to their ideas. Some participants were senior legal counsels, who frequently had to say "no" to their salespeople.
