A reference book from my dear boss
My boss has borrowed a book to me. 'The Welch Way ' - 24 lessons from the world's greatest CEO, The employee handbook for enhancing corporate performance.
I have finished glanced the book. Now, I am going to re-read to pick some key points that impressed me:
Face reality
If you are managing too much, figure out why?

Face reality
Always know that change is with you and
will never leave. If you accept that, and use it, you can gain an edge over
those who do not know how to deal with change.
Most everyone wants to help, but they also
want to know how their actions are helping the organization achieve its goals.
Talk numbers less. Don’t do it all day. Try
to focus on the key behaviors and actions that will delight customers and with
new business.
If you are managing too much, figure out why?
You can’t do everything yourself. The key
to leading is developing and nurturing great leaders. You will never know how
far people can go unless you give them the opportunity to try.
Articulating a vision does not mean coming
up with every minute detail. As leader your job is coming up with the vision
and making sure that you have the very best people to carry it out.
Study competitors
One other important factor is a leader’s
willingness to implement the best idea, regardless of who comes up with it. If
you show your colleagues that you will always take the path of greatest
intellect(i.e. implement the best ideas), then people will follow you anywhere.
One of the keys to performance is getting
every worker to perform. Involve everyone in the dialogue, and you will raise
the intellect of the organization.
See change as an opportunity
