Are you currently a manager or expecting
to be one at some point? As a positive
leader, you can foster the growth of
your employees in line with the goals of
the organization. The difference between
a winning and a losing team depends on a
positive management style. A positive
manager coaches and empowers others to
succeed in their jobs. By facilitating a
work environment in which people are
willing to cooperate to achieve common
goals, productivity soars. Leadership by
subjection or even inspection is an easy
trap but one that you can avoid.
Outstanding people skills are essential
for your effectiveness as a leader.
Learning to listen, train, coach,
advise, and inspire become essential
communication skills for notable
managers. Your management style
expresses your genuineness and integrity
as a person; If you are a liar and
dishonest, you will not be trusted for
long. Successful managers, above all,
treat their employees with respect.

Four-time U.S. Olympic steeplechase runner
Henry Marsh attended law school while caring for his
infant son, yet still trained on 28 barriers and
seven water hazards spread across a 3,000-meter
racecourse. The author of The Breakthrough
Factor: Creating Success and Happiness Through a
Life of Value (Fireside, 1998), Marsh also
serves as national program director at Franklin
Covey in Salt Lake City.
The key to time management, he says, is knowing
your priorities and allocating your time
accordingly. "I don't run across too many people who
aren't busy. I can increase the efficiency of their
business by putting a date planner in their hands,
but if the increase in their business efficiency
doesn't relate to what matters most to them, who
cares?" he asks.
Marsh’s early life priorities were very clear. He
wasn't in the top 10 percent of his law school
class, but he managed to graduate and make
the Olympic team. His infant son is now 20 and doing
missionary work for the Mormon Church. Marsh notes
that business tools have changed over the past two
decades, but the principles of time management are
the same. The Internet is fabulous, he says, but it
can be overused. Day planners, when used without the
proper perspective, will only make you more
organized, not more productive.
