· Asking for something ASAP isn’t very smart.
· Give people the chance to do things right.
As professionals, we’re called upon to do lots of things, usually as fast as we can. As a leader, your role is to make sure the people that report to you are effective. Meaning: give then proper training and guidance, coach, and mentor them to know how to know how things should be done, provide them with clear instructions, allow an appropriate timeframe in which to accomplish their tasks, and recognize their completed performance. And remember, everything can’t be done at once, but something can be started at once. This is where managing by walking around works best: stay engaged with your people, get their feedback and input, and schedule things right. None of us likes to be rushed just because someone upstairs has an unreasonable expectation – speak up when asked your opinion, listen to other’s opinions, and work it out so things get done right and on appropriate time. Keep your ears to the ground and help your team get started right today.
Calvin Coolidge (born 1872 –1933): American attorney and politician from Vermont who served as the 30th president of the United States from 1923 to 1929.
