Success and Motivational Strategies for Life

Visit www.LeadershipDevelopmentWorkshops.com for more on Leadership Training with Roger Reece. You have to hire people based on limited information, and sometimes what you get is not what you expected from the interview cycle. In a way, your contract with an employee is a bit like a marriage contract you commit to a package that includes the unknown when you take them on as a member of your team; and now, for better or worse, as a manager you now own the responsibility for their success. Determination is an essential quality of leadership: we will always have to take ownership of commitments without knowing exactly what we will get, and determination is the resolve to see those commitments through. As managers, our goal should be the ability to take any person qualified for the job they are hired for, and make them successful as an employee, regardless of whatever blindspots, neural hijacks or baggage they carry along with them. Your employees success rate is really the measure of your competency as a leader.
