Irrelevant managers say things like: I don't have time to read management books. I don't have time to subscribe to management Blogs and email newsletters. I don't have time to get away to attend that seminar on working with the new generation. I don't have time to work with social media. I don't have time to coddle every one of my employees just to tell them they're doing a good job. I don't have time to go over it and over it again just because a few don't get it.
Relevant managers say things like: I make it a point to read at least 4 new management books each year to stay current. I subscribe to a handful of solid management thought-leaders by email and Blog because they inspire me with new ideas. I have worked out a schedule to attend at least one seminar or training session each year that can help me help my employees. Since I started working with social media, I now see how employees and customers use it to communicate better. I reach out to each employee everyday so that they feel value in the work they do and valued for the contribution they make. I will do whatever I have to do to make sure that every employee gets it right and does it right because our customers deserve our best.
So, are you too busy for the people who depend on you to be your best or are you just too self-absorbed to really care? If you cared, don't you think you'd do something about it?
