2. Generate the ideas.

Common frustration in corporate America Lack of ideas.

A person who is innovative & creative should be valued

unfortunately such people are not appreciated.

Often the best idea sound crazy. Example : Allied Signal , where people very dispirited by

companys lagging performance. Author was interested to

increase their own spirit level. Somebody suggested to hire

Speak out the good ideas. ( generally unwilling )

3. Be willing to collaborate It may not be in someones financial interest to cooperate.

Much more can be achieved when we bring every one to the table at once

people are aware with this but still resist collaboration as they are

unwilling to share the credit.

Example : Person who ran manufacturing & who ran marketing & sells

didnt get along well.( at own business of author )

4. Be willing to lead initiative People are often reluctant to be associated with untested idea,

particularly if it crosses the functional boundaries.

Example : Six sigma implementation at Allied Signal

5. Develop the leader as youdevelop.

One should take as much interest in their sub-ordinates development as

they do in their own if not more.

Example : Author had a boss, a midlevel manager at GE

changing how their competition is changing, how

technologies & world events affecting their strategies.

operational or strategic initiative.

individual goals he or she is going to be measured over a given period &

where invest precious time.

Promotions & Bonus schemes should be based on such merits.

3. Give frequent, specific &immediate feedback.

Employees shouldnt have to wait for an annual review to learn how they

are doing, & if the feedback is going to help driver the growth , then it

needs to be as specific as possible.

No complicated forms of assessment.
