I’ve been a leader for a long time and I’ve been a manager for a long time. I think I am a strong leader; I think I am an OK manager – there is always room for improvement in all arenas, of course.

Somehow I have assumed that by being a strong leader that I am by rote being a good manager. Au contraire mon frere, “being a good manager isn’t about what YOU want to do; it’s about your team,” according to Beth Banks Cohn, a leadership development coach.

So, one of my goals for 2010 is to find out where my TEAM wants to go, what each of THEIR goals are and then I plan to bust my ass to help make those dreams come true. If everyone on the team is achieving their dreams and we are all on the same page as far as where we are headed as a group – how could we NOT absolutely rock the world?

My end of the year thoughts…

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to all!!
