Lead, Don’t Manipulate
Lisa Haneberg has some good advice and commentary on FORTUNE Magazine’s article on building trust.
Lisa writes:
“This [article] smacks of Apprentice style management advice - power, manipulation, appearances. Yuck! We need to develop and build stronger, more trusting relationships in business, not more smoke and mirrors, disingenuous flattery, and short cut social strategies.”
Lisa is right on the money. That type of behavior stinks. Genuine leadership is rare. We need more of it. That is not what is represented in this article.
Lisa truly gets it. That’s why she is one of my daily reads.
If you don’t already read Management Craft, you need to. You should also pick up her latest book – Focus like a Laser Beam. It’s more straight talk about concentrating on things that are important.
