Thought I'd offer this as a follow-up to yesterday's Gray Matters posting. Bob Rosner writes the weekly column Working Wounded for the WSJ Career Journal. His writing is helpful and concise. In just a few minutes each week you'll get just the dose of management help you need.
In his 11/13 column How Savvy Managers Produce Solid Results Bob shares his strategy for getting big results:
You can usually accomplish more with subtle nudges than you can with heavy hammers.
Bob offers five questions for assessing your ability to produce solid results. (See the article for more details.)
- Can you play dumb?
- Can you model the behavior you would like to see?
- Can you use storytelling and metaphors?
- Can you use humor?
- Do you know your own personal competitive advantage?
So it's not a grand revelation. Read Working Wounded for the next few weeks. Then tell me that you want to stop. I bet you won't! And if you want a bigger dose of Rosner, et al, then get yourself a copy of Gray Matters.
