Jul 7, 2015

Category: Leadership My Dad's Way

By: Dave Anderson

“I didn’t have time to get it done.” Any leader who has coached employees or parent who raised teenagers has heard this excuse and been frustrated. Let’s not fool ourselves anymore, when someone tells us “I didn’t have enough time.” What they are truly saying is “I had bigger priorities.”

Coaching – Encouragement Versus Praise

Jun 11, 2015

Category: Management

By: Dave Anderson

When someone does something well, a good coach jumps on the opportunity to praise them. Praise is a great motivator. But misplaced praise can demotivate. Making people feel good about themselves in a vacuum doesn’t work. In my past, I fell into the habit of always praising people. It hurt their performance and our relationship.

It was 1979 and I was sitting on a slab of concrete in the 90 degree heat at a summer basketball camp. I was about to be in 8th grade and loved basketball. I wanted to show the coach of the local college that I was willing to do anything to get better. The coach […]

It had been 12 months since I hired Tracy. During the interview process she wowed me with her passion and drive to succeed. I wasn’t just moderately hopeful for her. I thought she would be doing my job some day! But 12 months later, that person was nowhere to be found. Tracy turned out to […]

By: Dave Anderson

“I want to do your job someday Dave. Will you show me how to get there?” I loved the ambition and drive Dorothy showed with that statement. But like others before her, she had no clue what the most critical thing she needed to accomplish was before she became promotable. I had just offered her […]

Being Good Sometimes – Is Not Good Enough

Jul 24, 2014

Category: Leadership My Dad's Way

By: Dave Anderson

Should someone continue to pay me for doing part of my job? I have encountered people who think that doing a good job in parts of their work is enough to expect continued employment and in some cases promotions. Here are some examples: A nurse who is strong clinically, but consistently fails to correctly document […]

When High Performance Is Not Enough

Jul 10, 2014

Category: Leadership My Dad's Way

By: Dave Anderson

“He’s doing the job. In fact, he is meeting every performance goal we have for him. But….” It’s what comes after the “But” that can drive leaders crazy and cause sleepless nights. Unfortunately, many leaders will put up with what comes after the “But” because the performance metrics are being met. It is a tough […]

Identifying Experience Versus Tenure

Jun 5, 2014

Category: Leadership My Dad's Way

By: Dave Anderson

5 years experience. 10 years experience. 20 years experience. Which one is better? There are many times when no experience may be better than 20 years. An employee with 20 years of tenure can help or hurt a team. That’s why I hate the idea that tenure alone is used in making employment decisions. Tenure […]

A Bad Start Can Lead To A Great Career

By: Dave Anderson

In my fifteen years of leading sales people I rejoiced with my new hires when they had a great first year. But, experience also taught me that early success could be the worst thing for some people. Success in sales or in any aspect of business is often determined by a person’s response to failure. […]
