task managed to the hilt
I analyzed a leading global organization and found that among the dozens of leadership competencies that the many thousands of respondents rated, the one they wanted more of, by far, was this.
Be more motivating and inspiring.
Over 50% of all respondents chose that item.
That's my experience working with many organizations.
But this is much more the rule than the exception.
It's a huge influence opportunity.
Many people these days are being task managed to the hilt.
But they don't see how their daily work connects to broader purposes that make lives better.
Desde já agradeço!
