Adamchik's Laws of Leadership
I have discovered three simple principles that, when properly applied, make your leadership journey incredibly rewarding..
Talking Points For Leaders
When you watch politicians there is no doubt what the message is. They stay “on message” and it doesn’t really matter what questions they are asked, they always come back to their message. How about you?
Full Contact Leadership
No business is immune to this crisis, and some are even more susceptible to it than others. Real leaders today are few and far between. We have great technicians and great managers, but few great leaders.
The Road Signs of Leadership
Just like traffic signs give us information, employees provide signs that give us information too. But employees are often subtle and hard to interpret, or we are not tuned in to looking for the signals, so we miss them.
24/7 Customer Centric
We live in a customer centric society. Consumers don’t just go shopping anymore; they want to be comforted by a brand... People in our society seek an ever increasing degree of satisfaction whenever they purchase something.
Get Bad At What You Do!
Manager. Foreman. Supervisor. Boss. These are all titles for the person who is responsible for getting a job done by directing other people. They might describe you or someone you work with. The key point, regardless of the title, is that this person is tasked with accomplishing a certain amount of work beyond that which one person is capable of doing.
Client Comments:
"I have attended quite a few leadership seminars, and have tried to gather and relate things from each of them, but your hit all 3 of us with material that relates and for myself commands an internal level of accountability and responsibility in what I do at our company. "
