Starting Fast as a Leader With Your New Team

By Art Petty|2024-08-08T13:38:01-05:00July 27th, 2010|1,770 Legacy Leadership Caffeine and Management Articles|

The "start-up" phase with a new team is challenging for even the most experienced of leaders. If you're an "all new" leader...someone hired from outside or at least outside of the team, there's an inherent degree of uncertainty and apprehension about you. No one knows your style or your agenda, and frankly, while you have authority and respect conferred by title, you have not earned credibility or trust. One of the fastest ways to ramp up and help people develop some early comfort with you is to sit down and listen to them.

Want to Lead? What Skills Do I Need to Succeed? #5 of 7

By Art Petty|2024-08-08T13:38:26-05:00July 8th, 2010|1,770 Legacy Leadership Caffeine and Management Articles|

The first four questions in this series challenged you to think through issues that are both philosophical and powerfully practical: Why do you want to lead? Do you understand the true role of a leader? Do you understand that the skills that made you successful as an individual contributor are not the skills that will carry you forward? Are you prepared to give up your domain expertise as your foundation for results? If you've made it through the investigation of questions 1-4, it's time for you to focus in on what it takes to be successful as a leader.

Hyper-Reality, Slimy Weasels and the Biting Words of a General

By Art Petty|2024-08-08T13:38:39-05:00June 23rd, 2010|1,770 Legacy Leadership Caffeine and Management Articles|

I rarely follow a post with a related post, but the current stir created by General McChrystal, the senior military leader in Afghanistan, with his poor word choices and poor judgment in communicating with a reporter, begs a follow-on to Monday’s Leadership Caffeine post, The Word Selection of Journeyman Leaders.

7 Signs that Your Leadership Approach is Working

By Art Petty|2024-08-08T13:38:42-05:00June 21st, 2010|1,770 Legacy Leadership Caffeine and Management Articles|

The best leaders are critically aware of their role and power in shaping the environment on their teams and inside their organizations. They are also aware that almost no one will ever provide the boss honest, actionable feedback on performance. I encourage leaders to develop an extreme awareness of what is going on around them as the best indicator of their effectiveness.

Tripping Points and the Leader

By Art Petty|2024-08-08T13:38:44-05:00June 18th, 2010|1,770 Legacy Leadership Caffeine and Management Articles|

Firms and teams run into natural Tripping Points in the form of infrastructure and know-how as they work to grow a firm from start-up to $10 million or from $10 million to $25 million and so on. Often, the only viable solution to get beyond a Tripping Point is to retool the management team with people that have experience creating the infrastructure and programs/teams/processes needed to reach the next few levels. I can easily apply Tripping Point thinking to the challenges that we as professionals face in advancing our careers and in particular, in developing as leaders. Awareness of your prospective Tripping Points is an important first step in creating your personal and professional development plan.

There are few skills that will take you further and help you more than developing your speaking skills. Your writing skills are a close second. It's time to confront your fear of speaking and make this critical skill a valuable part of who you are as a professional.

When it comes to leadership development, sweeping corporate mandates and expensive training initiatives are rarely as effective as consistent blocking and tackling. Your own practices are capable of creating a new and next generation of professionals that carry the right approaches and ultimately innovate and improve upon your achievements.

Leadership Caffeine™-Effective Leaders Learn to Pivot

By Art Petty|2024-08-08T13:38:51-05:00June 14th, 2010|1,770 Legacy Leadership Caffeine and Management Articles|

Like the brother-in-law that you dodge at family gatherings to avoid his pitch on the latest “can’t fail, get rich quick” business scheme, some people are involved in a constant game of that childhood classic, Chutes and Ladders. Catch one ladder and you skip over the rest of us as we wind our way along on journeys of unknown destination and duration. Occasionally, these short-cut seekers find their way into positions of business and leadership responsibility, and the results range from a preoccupation with the near-term to overt decisions to cut corners in an attempt to move faster. However, the effective leader recognizes that there are no true short-cuts.
