I speak from 24 years as a US Army Officer and 20 years as an Executive Coach in Corporate America in Seattle, San Diego, Kansas City, and Phoenix.
As an Executive Coach, I was blessed to work with some of America's most successful men and women, including hundreds of business executives, teams, and small business owners.
I documented what they said, did, how they did it, what worked and what didn’t. But, most importantly, I documented how they made people feel.
As a result, I learned that the most effective and successful people stood out because they could do these two things better than anyone else. First, to consistently produce excellent results. And second, to add value to those who helped produce those results. This book will enhance your ability to do both.
The fact is that you may be the top producer, but if you haven’t added value to those who helped you, especially your boss, you’ll never become effective or successful, period.
What new skills or abilities have you acquired in the last twelve months? What contributions have you made to your current position since this time last year? And, most of all, what are you doing about it?
This book is unique because it: - Gives you the most actionable tactics, techniques, and tools needed to consistently produce excellent results.
- Teaches you the best practices used every day by the most effective and successful people in their field, which you were never taught in school.
- Provides you with step-by-step instructions explaining what and how things should be done that you won’t find anywhere in academia or Corporate America.
- Contains everything you want to know about Delegating, plus everything you didn’t realize you need to know about how it can enhance your effectiveness and success in business.
I know that by learning, using, and sharing the best practices found here; you’ll be well on your way to becoming more effective and successful.
Remember, no matter how good you think you are, you can always be better.
So, what are you waiting for? You have too much to lose by sitting on the bench and waiting for someone else to make you more effective.
When you’re finally sick and tired, of being sick and tired, and realize that no one is coming to your rescue, know that we’re here to help you reach your goals, enhance your career, and make a difference.
Isn’t it time for you to get in the game?
STOP WISHING YOU WERE BETTER AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT TODAY!How effective are you at work? Would your employer agree? What are you doing every day to become more effective? These are the questions we’ll be addressing as we explore how you can become more effective with each passing day.This book is about Delegating, your ability to get far more accomplished than your peers by empowering others to act on your behalf to consistently produce excellent results. Delegating is one of the 10 Core Competencies of Effectiveness: Followership, Delegating, Planning, Organizing, Communicating, Problem-Solving, Awareness, Training, Motivating, and Character.Your Guide to Better Delegating, is one in a series of 10 books that comprise The Effectiveness Guide, which was created to provide you with the best-in-class knowledge, wisdom, and advice on how you can become more effective at work and in life. It contains over 1000 actionable Tactics, Techniques, and Tools (or best practices) used every day by the most effective people in their field and have proven reliable in helping others to maximize their true career potential by becoming more effective tomorrow that you are today.In a 21st-century world, the best companies, the ones who make it to the top in their industry, are thriving because they’re breaking all the traditional rules and stereotypes of conventional leadership. Positions, titles, and organizational charts are meaningless. Over my 20+ years as executive coach, working with hundreds of business executives and small business owners, I learned the real reasons most businesses today are struggling, while a few are thriving:The truth is that being selected for a leadership or management position is not something you control. Others, like your employer, make those decisions. You can influence other people, but you cannot control them. However, you can control and therefore change (measure and increase) your level of effectiveness.It’s clear to me that the leadership and management wisdom we’ve used for years doesn’t work anymore and is failing us in several critical areas. There’s got to be a better way. Well, there is, and it’s called effectiveness: both personal and team effectiveness. I know this to be true because I’ve spent 50+ years of my life seeking the answer to this simple question,Why are some people more effective than others?What do they think, say, and do that made them more effective? During that time, I served 23 years as a US Army Officer and 21 years as an Executive Coach in Corporate America. Here, I was privileged to work with some of the most exceptional men and women in America who were real game-changers, self-starters, and highly effective people. Through their example, I learned the true meaning of effectiveness by documenting what they did, how they did it, and most importantly, how they made us feel. So, how can you become more effective, when it’s not taught anywhere in academia or your company? Here’s the good news! The beauty of The Effectiveness Guide is that it teaches you how to enhance your individual and team effectiveness, regardless of your title, position, function, or level of authority. I also know that without your direct intervention in your career, you’re leaving your career to chance. You have too much to lose by not taking a more active role in learning the critical skills needed for successful job performance. Another thing I know for sure is that doing nothing and waiting for someone else to make you more effective, is the definition of complacency, which will kill your career.If you’re ready to elevate-your-game to the next level by becoming absolutely essential and irreplaceable to any employer lucky enough to have you on his team, The Effectiveness Guide will be the best investment you’ll ever make in your career.Stop wishing you were better and do something about it today!
