Somewhere on the way to this world we now live and work in, “speed” became a proxy for success. Speed is undoubtedly important, but beware relying on it as the sole indicator of effectiveness. It’s a cruel tyrant, demanding fealty from followers, while discouraging critical and deep thinking and focusing solely on time-to-response as a metric of success.

By Art Petty|2024-08-08T13:33:27-05:00September 14th, 2011|1,770 Legacy Leadership Caffeine and Management Articles|

The most difficult job in the professional life of any leader may very well be that first role…when he or she moves from individual contributor to suddenly being responsible for the outcomes of others.

Leadership Caffeine™-Always Lead with Context

By Art Petty|2024-08-08T13:33:28-05:00September 12th, 2011|1,770 Legacy Leadership Caffeine and Management Articles|

Context provides the basis for understanding and assessing a situation or a request to do something. It has the equivalent workplace outcome of adding yeast to the process of making bread. Without it, everything is flat. Improve performance by providing critical context at the organizational, strategic and personal levels.

Respond well to this demanding but respectful leader’s style, and instead of teetering precariously on the bleeding edge of survival, you will be reaching constantly for the high performance edge.
