Why Managing Others Is Not Easy

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Health & Well-Being, Improve Academy, Leadership, Management, Personal Development, Workplace Learning Report

‘Management is not your passion; your real job is.’

‘Managing is the high-wire act of balancing useful guidance and getting out of the way.’

‘Management is about communication, rapport, morale, and productivity.’

‘Thinkers lead with their heads; feelers lead with their hearts.’

‘It is important to care about your staff, to show them you really like them as possible. You’ll also feel better about yourself by demonstrating your warmth toward others.’

‘The only way you can aspire to managerial greatness is by channeling yourself.’

‘Your sole areas of direct responsibility are your thoughts, your words, and your actions.’

‘Nearly always, when we attribute a belief or opinion to someone else it means we have it ourselves.’

‘People may doubt what you say, but they will believe what you do.’

‘Lead with questions. And listen to the person giving the answers. You’ve always lost if you think you know the answers.’

‘There’s always another choice.’

How To Stay Fresh And Relevant

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Health & Well-Being, Improve Academy, Leadership, Management, Personal Development, Workplace Learning Report

‘In order to stay fresh and relevant, innovation has to be constant.’

‘Leading innovation is about leading people into and through change.’

‘To become an innovator, you don’t need to disrupt your whole industry. You just need to focus on building relationships with your key customers and empower your team to find innovative ways to serve them better.’

‘By empowering your workers to try a different approach, new solutions can be discovered, and that’s what leads to growth.’

‘Every innovation doesn’t have to be disruptive. The world needs both disruptive and adaptive change/innovation.’

‘When you develop a culture within your team that encourages open communication and empowers people to come up with new ways of doing things, you’re encouraging agility, which results in innovation.’

‘If we stay in our comfort zone, we will not grow as leaders.’

‘Embracing change means that people need to be convinced that the change has value and is worth embracing. To do this, leaders should focus much on the people side of change as they do on the logistical side of it.’

‘No matter what is happening around us, we can only lead on the day we are leading.’

‘You have to put your attention to where you want to go, not where you don’t want to go.’

‘What do you need more of or less of?’
