TIP - The Magazine for Growing Professionals

Message of the Week !

Want to move forward?

Let’s make it a conversation !

Stop the pity party and blaming the upper management for your problems and start taking responsibility for everything you do.

Spend your time fixing the problem, instead of finding who or what to blame. Every time you place a blame you are focusing on the past but when you accept responsibility, you are focusing on this time forward.

Rules Drive accountability and decision-­‐making at the right level.

Foster a culture where everybody walks the talk and nobody walks in water.

Encourage effec<ve communica<on, not over-­‐ communica<on.

Engagement

Power today is all about engagement. In order to achieve

impact

meaningful , leaders must connect with a diverse array of stakeholders to build community around a shared

vision.

The new rules of engagement demand that we leverage our influence across mul>ple spheres, forge unconven>onal partnerships and turn ideas into ac>on.

How are the most successful leaders redefining pathways to power—in their businesses, communi>es and in the social causes they champion? How can each of us be@er iden>fy and scale opportuni>es to ignite las>ng change?

4) Stay Human and Real Never be afraid to have an honest conversation, you can make close contacts by being honest.

5) Don’t Forget to Follow Up It's become way too common to see great initiatives turn to dust after a meeting, because there was no clear communication after the fact. To avoid this: ① Write the meeting minutes while it is happening ② Send the minutes right after the meeting ③ Don’t forget to add the responsible person and due date on each task item
