Visible Leadership Every Day

Wally Bock had a great posting in his Three Star Leadership Blog yesterday. Incorporating habits into what you do everyday is critical to developing the organization. Some highlights:

• Everyday, you need to make your expectations clear.
• Everyday, you need to check for understanding.
• Everyday, you need to use every contact and an opportunity to improve team performance and morale.
• Coach team members.
• Encourage good behavior and honest effort.
• Correct what needs correcting.
• Counsel those who need it.
• Everyday, you need to do the hard work of weeding out the unfit and the unwilling.

Great thoughts, tough to practice, but they make the difference between managing and leading.
