Why Can't a Woman be More Like a Man? - Click To Read Article
Professor Henry Higgins in the musical, My Fair Lady, laments, “Why can’t a woman be more like a man?” We all know women who have had some degree of success only to make the mistake of taking on male attributes. As Pat Hiem challenges in her book, Hardball for Women, “You don't have to act like a man to succeed in business for you will always be judged as a woman.”

When you are an employee, your performance is based on what you do. However, now that you have been promoted and have the responsibility of managing others, your performance is no longer about you. It is about your ability to accomplish through others. This is how you will be judged. Discover six concepts that you may want to embrace as a new manager.

Values: The Importance of Walking the Talk
- Click To Read Article
In the last few years most companies have recognized the importance of documenting their values. Some have gone to great lengths in detailing what would be ideal behavior but it is still the rare company who has leaders who actually walk the talk.

- Click To Read Article
Top executive failure rates are estimated to be as high as seventy-five percent and rarely lower than thirty percent. A McKinsey study found that the pipeline for future leaders is broken. Only three percent of those responding to the survey felt their company developed leaders well. Why is this happening? Simply because leaders -- like the rest of us -- tend to judge their own performance significantly better than do those they work with.

Giving Effective Feedback

If there is one area that gives both managers and employees difficulty it is the need to give and accept effective feedback. While giving feedback is not about dishing out criticism, this, however, often proves to be the case when managers find themselves under pressure.

Focus on Your Talents
- Click To Read Article
Most people are focused on where the opportunities are and then try to fit themselves into that mould, without giving appropriate thought to their own unique talents and abilities. However, that's not always a great idea. Because today's business playing field is slippery, time is a commodity you don't have, the future is unknown, and security is a thing of the past! In this environment it is important to remember to try differently, rather than trying harder!
