Deltennium Work Leaders Newsletter
A FREE SERVICE FOR ALL WORK LEADERS
WHO WANT TO BE GREAT !
It is clear that the title, or even the sophistication of the
work, is not what makes you a Work Leader rather than a general
manager.It is that you are directly responsible for a work unit
made up of people who individually perform tasks that get results
for an organization. You are not a leader of leaders, you are
a leader of people doing the mission-essential work. If that
is what your day looks like, this Newsletter will be your guide
to creating peak performance in your unit.
You may also be familiar with the fact that we have one straightforward
message: Being a great Work Leader is a simple as the word LEADERS!
Indeed, we use that word as a mnemonic that can help you remember
the seven essential steps to success. The job of the Work Leader
is simple.but not easy. When you remember the simple mnemonic
and learn the core steps represented by the seven letters in
the word LEADERS, you will know how to lead your unit successfully.
All you will need to do is make certain that your leadership
practices follow those key steps, and that you maintain the discipline
to both believe in and act on those principles. That is why we
say it is simple, yet not easy.
It is the goal of this publication to provide you with practical
tips and real-world advice that will help you to become a better
Work Leader. The Work Leader Newsletter will also serve as your
forum for connecting with others who day-in-and-day-out do the
same things you do.
The Work Leaders Newsletter will be delivered to the e-mail
address of your choice every week and will have the same general
structure each time. It is intended to be a simple read, but
one that you can apply to your daily job, immediately. The four
sections of the Newsletter are:
SECTION I - A Brief article
on a topic that we believe will have immediate applicability
to your workplace. We start out with the first in the series
of articles focusing on a brief topic that is drawn from the
seven core principles we have outlined in our first book, You're
In Charge...What Now? After you have completed the initial
series, you then will begin to receive the current newsletter
which will reflect a discussion of a topic that has either been
suggested to us by you the readers, or on a topic that we think
is particularly relevant at that moment in time.
SECTION II - This section
will be a mini-case study that is designed often to provide an
added insight on the topic discussion in Section I, or it could
be a particular problem that has been recently encountered by
us in either our own jobs as leaders, or by one of our client
companies or individuals. We will lay out the core elements of
the case, and then provide a brief discussion of our thoughts
on the issue and potential courses of action.
SECTION III - This is a section
where we try to give you some simple Work Leader Tips for either
being better or getting better at your key role. Our book, You're
In Charge...What Now? has many of these types of Work
Leader Tips throughout and we have been told that most readers
enjoyed very much the practical ideas we have gained over the
years. These Tips are always being added to so we want to share
them with you as we discover them.
SECTION IV - This is the " Ask
Gerry " section and it is your time to get
some direct advice about your current leadership challenges.
We encourage our readers to sends us questions, we work hard
to hide the details so you are not identified, but this is
for you the reader. It is much easier for us to give advice
when we have facts, rather than talk about a situation in
the abstract. Over time, we expect that every reader will
take advantage of this ability to get ideas.
Our jobs as leaders can not be boiled down to seven words. We
must embrace the key principles and then learn how to behave
in ways that reflect our commitment to those principles. Just
as life is not always simple, so is the practice of the seven
principles not always easy. You need to learn how to apply these
principles to your work, and to the core activities that will
enable you to truly be a great Work Leader. We hope that the
Work Leader Newsletter will be a source of motivation and knowledge
that will help you to succeed in your role as a Work Leader!
