One Minute Manager, Part 2

Strong leaders praise people and they're kind, pleasant, courteous, and considerate.

If you think of an effective leader as simply resilient and tough, think again. Leadership involves much more than that. It involves being approachable and nice to people. Those are the types of leaders people want to be attached to. Those are the types of leaders who bring out the best in people. In my first blog post about One Minute Managers (blog post June 12, 2016), I pointed out that a great manager/leader doesn't waste a lot of time wasting time. They let people "manage" themselves or you could say they act more as a facilitator. One minute managers go out of their way to catch people doing well then praising them for it opposed to trying to catch them doing wrong and using it against them. That's what the authors (Blanchard and Johnson) wrote about in their book many years ago, which still works today.

The bottom line is, "do to others as you would like them to do to you (Luke 6:31). Apparently Blanchard and Johnson were on to something.

As leaders it's important that we continue to keep great people on our team and trusting people to do their job is one of the ways to do so.

Think about it.

Protecting My Peace - Day 98 - Momentum and Movement, That’s What's Up

Click to listen to current podcast episode. “Never Giving Up” are power-words — strong affirmations that give us momentum and movement. That’s what’s up. We can do so much more in our lives when we have momentum and movement. It’s about standing, literally and not sitting or laying around feeling sorry for ourselves. I used to do that once upon a time and that sorrowful thinking is for the birds. We don’t have to be down. We can get up and get going even if we start small. In fact, I love starting small, because it helps set a firm foundation of habits and routines.

Protecting My Peace - Day 96 - Disciplining Ourselves for Next Level Greatness

Click to listen to today's podcast episode. When it comes to next level greatness, we have to know that applies to us, not just everyone else. Do you know what God has for you? Do you? He has GREATNESS for you. Yes, YOU -- all of us. It's about doing what you can do and only you can do. You are the only one with your DNA -- none of us. is the same Yet, even when we're feeling down, discouraged, and out, those emotions are only temporary. None of us has it all together. Sometimes I procrastinate and put things off when I know I should be doing better. Yet, I am not as diligent and disciplined as I can be sometimes. Like when it comes to working out, I delay it, because I don't like it anymore. And although I love reading the bible, I haven't been reading it as often as I should lately. Yes, I, Sharon, the Faith Coach, do not do the things I'm supposed to do when I'm supposed to do them. And that my dear friends should not come as a shock to no one. It certa...

God is Real

I've often had conversations about how we know God is real, about how we know His spirit lives, about how we know we are spiritual beings in human form (not the other way around). The answers lie in the beginning starting with the living spirit of God and how the world began. God is Real. He's a living breathing spirit, an organism. God is love . I often wonder how it is that some people think the opposite though. That the world began with a bang, a big bang, a black hole, whatever else they want to call it. The question I always raise to such a "theory" is, how was love created? How was flesh, blood, bones, or our souls created? What I mean by soul is that part of us that perceives "silently" what we do, think, believe, feel, and our mind, our will, our intellect, our emotions. Science or no bang or hole of any sort can explain that. If science can indeed come up with an explanation that does not include God, then let me know. In fact, let us all kno...
