Top10 Leadership Resolutions for 2014

*********************************
Biggest role of a leader is to build trust, respect, support from the team.
Employees must deliver results.
Leaders must support them and stand up for them.
(2) Over-Communicate
*********************
Communicate your message, values, what's right, what's wrong.
Transparency - get everyone on the same page.
(3) Followup Relentlessly
**************************
Don't stop with setting the direction
Followup to see that things are moving in right direction
(4) Create a rallying cry
**************************
Define the enemy - A competitor who is coming after your firm.
Galvanize the team - ensure every product is better than competition
(5) Personnel actions speak louder than words
*********************************************
When someone is picked for a new job, you are defining what is important.
New initiatives - match stars with the projects to build credibility and trust.
(6) Embrace the Generosity Gene
*******************************
Love to give raises to people - Give until it hurts.
Be thrilled to see employees grow and be promoted.
Be turned on by the success of employees.
Bask only in the reflected glory of the team.
(7) Fight bureaucracy
**********************
Get rid of clutter.
Drive with Speed - speed is one of the best competitive advantages.
(8) Find a better way of doing things every single day
******************************************************
Somebody out there is always doing something better than you.
Ask, "How can we do it better?". "Where can we find someone doing it better?".
Make your group stand out above the rest
(9) Own Hiring Mistakes
***********************
Hiring is hard work.
If fit didn't work, recognize it, own the error and get on with it.
Deal with hiring mistakes fast and with compassion.
Stakeholders - hired person, your team, superiors - will respect you more.
(10) Dig into Crises
*********************
Anticipate crises to erupt
Someone will do something wrong; you will have to face a violation in your organization.
When you first hear about it, you will only get the tip of the iceberg
as the boss, you are not going to get the whole story
people may brush things under the table
Go after the big piece of the iceberge underneath the surface
your team will come to you and feed you slowly piece by piece
Your job is to dig deep, early and fast, to get it all to the surface.
Be candid - there are no secrets
Get the right people involved immediately.
