For a variety of reasons, many manager/employee relationships stay formal, cordial, and don’t realize their full potential. The conversation stays focused on the work at hand, and hopefully there is some discussion of strengths and development needs, along with a plan to improve on them. There is often real reluctance to go deeper. Why? Choices, [.

By Mike Myatt , Chief Strategy Officer, N2growth . Leaders don’t offer, nor do they accept excuses. True leadership demands the character to demonstrate personal responsibility for one’s actions, and the courage to hold others accountable for theirs.

For the last 10 months I’ve been an investor in the Oregon Angel Fund (OAF). We invest in startups and early-stage growth companies in the Pacific Northwest, and as you can imagine, we hear a lot of pitches. Because there are many interested companies and applicants, and only a small number of actual annual investments (just a handful), that first 3 minute summation of “ why you should invest in us ” is absolutely critical.

Something that pops up pretty frequently is to implement time decay, especially where you have recursive chains of jobs. For instance, say you want to keep track of a popularity score. You calculate today’s output by reading yesterday’s output, discounting it by and then adding some hit count for today. Typically you choose so that for a day or something like that.

Questions are powerful. They can motivate, and inspire deeper thinking. Great questions empower. Questions can also intimidate, frustrate and shut down people down. The most dangerous are those where the leader already ”knows” the answer… and is looking to see if the person will “get it right.” Closed ended questions can have a similar impact, [.

By Mike Myatt , Chief Strategy Officer, N2growth . How are your leadership skills? Likely not as good as you think. There’s no shortage of independent empirical data generated over the years supporting the fact most people tend to overrate their leadership ability. The best leaders the world has ever known had room for improvement – so do you. I’ve always said leaders need to get over themselves and get on to the practice of leadership.

Lots of us grew up believing in the idea that if you just do good work, the work will speak for itself. That’s one of those beliefs that’s true until it isn’t. When it isn’t is that when so much is going on that top management probably won’t notice good work unless you speak for it. The more senior top management is, the more likely this is to be true They simply have too many things to pay attention to to recognize or acknowledge all the things that are going right.

In just about every business situation that involves more than a handful of people, there’s always going to be one big disconnect. In one corner, there are the business owners and executives. They are focused primarily on one goal: profit. In the other corner are the rank and file employees who enable that profit through their work. The disconnect is this – those employees are not focused on the profit of the business.

I often get asked if every conflict can be resolved. Since I work with leaders and teams to resolve workplace conflicts and to build the confidence people have to address conflicts, I think it’s a really good question. The short answer is: yes, every conflict can be resolved. The question does have one problem though — it is incomplete. It is incomplete in that people often ask the question with an unspoken assumption about the outcome of the resolution process.
