0 Why Middle Managers Need To Fire Themselves As Supervisors

Why Middle Managers Need To Fire Themselves As Supervisors

There are rich leadership lessons to be learned from politics and sports. Given that I try to avoid politics in this blog, please allow me the indulgence of referencing a headline from my favorite sport to make a point about leadership:

CHIEFS' ROMEO CRENNEL FIRES HIMSELF... AS TEAM'S DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR.

For those of you that don't follow the National Football League (or sports), Crennel is the Head Coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, the worst team in the NFL right now. He recently decided he needed to relinquish his duties of calling the plays on defense in order to focus on his Head Coaching duties.

In response to this headline, a former player (I didn't catch who it was) was asked on a sports talk radio show "WHY DO SO MANY GREAT COORDINATORS MAKE SUCH LOUSY HEAD COACHES"?"

I thought his answer was simple but brilliant, and gets to the heart of one of the biggest and oldest mistakes middle or senior managers make when they get promoted. He said something to the effect of:"It's because they don't realize that their job is to coach coaches, not players." The reason they were such great Coordinators is because they were good at motivating and developing their players. As a Head Coach, they need to make a shift to motivating and developing their coaches, as well as focusing on big picture responsibilities like media and public relations, scouting, and other administrative responsibilities. They get in trouble because they continue to do what they loved to do and what made them so successful - working with players. They think they can do both - usually by working ridiculous hours and sleeping at the office. Many of them also neglect their health and families.

Crennel is just one recent example of a Head Coach that got himself in trouble by refusing to let go of his old job. Other examples include Wade Phillips, Jason Garrett, Norv Turner (not fired yet, but has been), Greg Williams, Jack Del Rio, Todd Haley, Dick Jauren, Josh McDaniels, Steve Spagnuolo, and Mike Mularkey. All of these coaches, besides being fired as head coaches, had one thing in common - they were outstanding Offensive or Defensive Coordinators. Many of them tried to combine their old jobs with their new jobs. Some even hired new Coordinators and "still"micromanaged their old responsibilities. They not only sabotaged their own careers, but they retarded the development of promising developing Coordinators.

OK, so now let's step away from the world of sports of apply these lessons to leadership in general. If you're a middle or senior manager, how many of you are still managing your old employees and not leading your organization by managing your supervisors or managers? If you're being completely honest, I'll bet a lot. I see it all the time - a great sales manager gets promoted because they were great at managing sales reps, and then works around their sales managers to try to coach and motivate 8-10 times as many reps. It's one of the oldest and most frequent recipes for failure!

Managing managers is way different that managing individual contributors. According to Charon, Drotter, and Noel, from their classic book "The Leadership Pipeline", the most important things middle managers need to do are:1. SELECT AND HIRE CAPABLE FIRST-LINE MANAGERS

2. HOLD FIRST-LINE MANAGERS ACCOUNTABLE FOR MANAGERIAL WORK

3. DEPLOY AND REDEPLOY RESOURCES AMONG UNITS

4. MANAGE THE BOUNDARIES THAT SEPARATE UNITS THAT REPORT DIRECTLY AND WITH OTHER PARTS OF THE BUSINESS.

Unfortunately, while many organizations provide training for first-line managers, not many train their managers how to manage managers.Do yourself a favor, and learn from Romeo Crennel - fire yourself from your former position before someone fires you from your new position.

0 Windies Play Their 500Th Test

Windies Play Their 500Th Test
Vinode MamchanPublished: Saturday, September 13, 2014

Such as an irony! Karl Nunes walked out to head the West Indies in their Earliest ever Observe, played against England in 1928-he was a wicketkeeper/batsman and today Denesh Ramdin the wicketkeeper/batsman, will manage the Caribbean side in their 500th Observe match. The same as Ramdin tosses the voucher against Bangladesh today at the Beausejour Cricket Stadium in St Lucia, it will mark a very indicative familiar sight in the history of West Indies cricket.

Ramdin will individually like to fundamental a come first on this gathering and upstage Nunes who led the West Indies to defeat in their first Observe. The West Indies scoff won 162 matches out of the 500 and a come first in this one, will give them a govern whitewash, as they lead the 2-match govern 1-0. A win state would give them a one point in the Global Cricket Council (ICC) Observe rankings. Ramdin and his boys go into this one a confident bulk, in arrears their overpowering ten-wicket come first in the opening match at Arnos Basin in St Vincent.

Words on the eve of the match supposed, "It is very grave that we play ruthless cricket but the Bangladeshis are not goodbye to lie down. They scoff soldierly batters so our bowlers need to be on par with them. We scoff to find our chances in the pop barrier, if we want to win this match. This match is a very signficant one for the West Indies as we scoff reached 500 matches and the set would love rocket on top of than to give the fans a come first." The West Indies customary a whack before the match with the news that big opener Chris Gayle, who scored a partially century in St Vincent, is out due to personal reasons.

Sooner than Gayle out, it is farther than that West Indies will drop Kirk Edwards at any rate his run of low scores voguish this govern. Edwards may possibly well open with Leon Johnson has essentially played at No 3 in pinnacle cricket. Sooner than a 1-0 lead to fall back on, it is very farther than that they would pick a five-man bowling grab by bringing in either Jason Possessor or Shane Shillingford. Bangladesh on the getting on badge very has problems as they are without Imrul Kayes.

The opener has a bombard virus and will utmost real be replaced by Anamul Haque, who scored a century in the opening district overs international in Grenada. Bangladesh manage Mushfiqur Rahim is not a happy man at the moment. "You cannot distance a Observe match by scoring 70s or 80s. I made a hundred in the first Observe but that still didn't matter in the end. The key saturation bombing indigence be to get set and pledge that the innings indigence be 100 to 150. I am hopeful for that to go." Bangladesh's confidence has under enemy control a indicative hit with a 3-0 defeat in the ODIs before recognition the St Vincent Observe.

They batted better in the second innings but still may possibly only run a minor-league saturation bombing. They are very in two minds on using Al-Amin Hossain to the same degree of the prospect on his action. The apparent difficulty is that the umpires may call him again but Sohag Gazi played the third ODI in arrears he was reported. The gush at the Beausejour is unaffected to help the West Indies quicks and pacer Shannon Gabriel in particular has had great success appearing in.

Have a row


Teams

West Indies: Denesh Ramdin, Kraigg Brathwaite, Kirk Edwards, Leon Johnson, Darren Good for you, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Jermaine Blackwood, Jerome Taylor, Kemar Roach, Shannon Gabriel and Suleiman Benn.

Bangladesh: Mushfiqur Rahim (capt), Tamim Iqbal, Shamsur Rahman, Anamul Haque, Mominul Haque, Nasir Hossain, Mahmudullah, Shuvagata Hom, Robiul Islam, Al-Amin Hossain, Taijul Islam and Rubel Hossain.

0 Frauds In Love

Frauds In Love
Today we are going on a field trip. A field trip to the opposite side of the spectrum. A lot of times when I need a good laugh I will visit Lovefraud.com. In case you don't know about this site, it's dedicated to victims of sociopaths. Broken, self-loathing, and bitterness fills the pages. It's like a sociopath's trash dump. My personal opinion is that these people set themselves up to be victims, then want to point the finger at the person who took advantage. Nobody put a gun to their head and told them to stay in a relationship they admit was so terrible. If you read the posts and comments (from people with weak names like 'justabouthealed'), you can see how they've already started off with defeat in their minds. It's not hard for ready made victims to become victims. The following post is the perfect example of how they set themselves up for the fall. Victory is not fighting, it's persevering. The old turn the other cheek. Lying to themselves, they believe that licking your wounds after getting victimized is a 'viable' victory. In reality it's failure. Here is the article:

My wonderful stepfather was a young basketball coach when he got his first real job coaching for a very small rural school which had not had a winning game in over a decade. The team was dispirited and had no real expectation of ever winning a game.

One of the local coaches bragged that he would beat them "by a hundred points!" at the next game. The team thought there was a good possibility that that coach's team could do just that. However, it is "good sportsmanship" for a coach playing a much weaker team to let their second, third, and fourth strings get a chance to play, and to win over the weaker team, but not "tromp" them.

Daddy thought this other coach's brag to stomp and tromp his team was poor sportsmanship so he made a plan. When the fourth quarter started and Daddy's team had the ball, they "froze" it (which was legal in the game then) and wouldn't either shoot the ball or take a chance on losing it, so passed the ball from one of Daddy's team members to another the entire quarter. They didn't make any points, but they kept the other team from even getting their hands on the ball the entire quarter, and thus making points against them. Daddy's team didn't win, but the other coach didn't win by his "hundred points" either. That little team went on the next year to win their division championship because of the confidence that Daddy inspired in them.

Sometimes "winning" or "victory" can be interpreted in different ways. I'm also reminded of the old Country and Western song, the "Winner" where an older man and a younger man are in a bar talking. The younger man wants to be a "winner" in bar fight brawls, and the older man is educating him on what is "winning" and what isn't.

Sure, you can get into a fight and you may inflict more damage on your opponent than he inflicts on you in the fight, but like the old man said, "He gouged out my eye, but I won." Sometimes it is better to walk away from a fight and not lose more than you have already lost, or allow your opponent to take another "pound of flesh" in your attempts to "get justice."

It isn't always about getting what you deserve, or victory over them, or even seeing that they get "what they so richly deserve," sometimes, I think, "winning" simply means keeping them from taking more out of you and, like Daddy's team, "freezing the ball." Sometimes, it is like the would-be barroom brawler, walking away (intact) with the other guy yelling curses in your direction.

It is emotionally tough to watch a cheater "get away with it" when they have ripped us off, and go "waltzing away" unscathed and apparently the victor. It eats at our sense of fairness to let them "succeed" and not pay a price for their bad behavior.

Yet, sometimes, "discretion is the better part of valor" to use an old phrase, or to "be a live dog, rather than a dead lion," and "retreat and live to fight another day."

Those victims who are not able to fight for a "victory" of any sort, I don't think need to feel that they have "failed" because they chose not to fight the sociopath.

Too many times fighting the psychopaths are like "fighting a circular saw," as my grandmother would have said. It "just isn't worth it," because the damage to yourself will be worse than you can possibly inflict on the psychopath. They stack the odds so in their own favor, that even if you "win," you end up like the old brawler sitting in the barroom, broken and so gravely injured yourself in your effort to gain a "victory, of sorts" that in retrospect the price was too high.

Sometimes, it is better to walk away a "loser" but still intact, and with your head held high, using the energy and resources you have left to focus on healing yourself, on recovering what you have lost in terms of finances and strength, and take care of yourself. To me that is also a "viable victory."

0 Iowa Hawkeyes Vs Wnba All Stars

Iowa Hawkeyes Vs Wnba All Stars
Dumb, Dumb, Dumb, Dumb, Dumb, Dumb. No, I am not talking about Mormons as this is ordered patronizing fanatical than American Jesus (which is genuinely a nice-looking wintry weather idea). I am talking about the top about Connecticut's Women's Basketball Buzz. Here is genuinely talk that they clout be able to compete in the men's tournament. Not only is this invariable juvenile, but a big shot theoretical that they would repress an easier time playing Men's Private school Basketball than Kentucky would playing in the WNBA. Kentucky would become the Would like Buzz of the WNBA, they wouldn't win by less than 40 points in every lay bets. Character who disagrees with this is a moron. So let's look at a patronizing compelling matchup, Iowa vs. The WNBA. Voguish are the five unquestionable reasons the Hawkeyes would hold back a WNBA All-Star team:

1. Size - Jarryd Cole is small in college basketball, he is a behemoth in the WNBA. Courtney Paris, the big extensive that played at Oklahoma, is only 6'4", so not only would Cole hold back on the inside. Cully Payne may well doubtless post up someone in their community. LJ (Lauren Jackson for folks who don't repress a passion for the WNBA like me) is 6'5" and she'd get murder-raped by Aaron Fuller on the inside.

2. Event - Brandish you watched the WNBA? Their packing tape lay bets captures it perfectly:

3. The Size of the Basketball - I can't notable this is never brought up, but women don't ordered use the incredibly basketball as men. On a plane Brommer may well attain some points with a basketball of that size.

4. Emotional - Linking periods, mood swings, and getting knocked up, not ordered Vinny Del Negro (Yes, he is a A long way lessen coach than Lickliter) may well curse the chances of the Hawkeyes whipping a WNBA All-Star sound. Opening, they'd doubtless get jealous that Cougill has better tits than them.

5. God - The same as I worked for the Seattle Twister, I saw a lot of ladies holding hands with each previous. I got no animal protein with that. But according to politicians (Why would they lie?), Jesus hates gay marriage and he would topic it out on the WNBA if they believe faced his pet Hawkeyes. From what I've bookish from signs made by holy people, God hates gays and lesbians. I tried to understand God for his view but was disallowed to get anything solid, just a lot of calm. On a plane still I question the severity of anything holy people say, I'll topic the their word for it and say that he would good be on the side of Iowa basketball.

Final Slash - Iowa 114, WNBA 11

-Joe


P.S. A sign that I clout not be booty my job search seriously: In my outshine letter for a job with the Nationals, I asked if they'd hook me up with free tickets in two weeks.
