Dr. Jones,
Your radio conversation with Barbara Kline was awesome! Your top 10 success strategies for managers were so on point. I thoroughly gained great insight and strategies to use as I advance in my career. In particular, your first strategy about managers zipping their lips and taking the time to listen stood out to me. The reason is that most managers feel like it is their job to tell people what to do. However, telling staff members how to handle a situation or issue creates a crutch for staff members. As you pointed out, it hinders people from thinking, becoming empowered, and having a sense of ownership. Also, the act of telling employees what to do transforms the manager into a micromanager.
Your other strategies about giving it away, asking and not telling, taking a break, and doing more with less also stood out to me. They are strategies that I must work on to help myself to be more effective with managing others. Also, I would love to get the wallet-sized cards that you mentioned pertaining to the fifth strategy of not letting people push your buttons.
Again, your radio conversation with Barbara Kline was awesome! Have you thought about having a radio show? A radio show will provide the opportunity for more people to benefit your expertise and passion. You have a way of presenting complex subjects and concepts in a practical and digestible manner for any person to understand. Great work! I look forward to gaining more insight.
So glad you liked the radio interview and that you found information that you could apply in your career! Absolutely, I will send you some of the wallet “emotional audit” cards!
Appreciatively,
Dr. Jones
