Business.com
Rather than sticking to traditional forms of employee performance management, like annual reviews, managers are best served giving ongoing, real-time feedback.
Keeping abreast of how your employees are performing is a key component of being a manager. However, while managers can provide the resources, tools, insights, vision, values, inspiration and leadership, it's up to the employees themselves to manage their own performance.

Entrepreneur

David Finkel writes: As a business coach, I talk to thousands of leaders every year. Great business owners who have built and scaled businesses to serve their industry and their customers. Yet, almost everyone I talk to wishes that they could be a better leader in some aspect. Whether that means being able to coach and support their current team members, hire more efficiently, work with outside vendors to get the best results possible, or something else, there is always something that they wish they could get better at.

Leadership is about making choices
Business 2 Community
Dave Brock writes: I have to confess, this article was provoked reading the newspaper about the upcoming elections. Many "leaders," political and otherwise, are making statements. Some are choosing not to vote, one feels that a write in vote for "Ronald Reagan" demonstrates his leadership and thoughtfulness. While it's been those incidents that got me thinking about the issue, I reflected on so many situations I see in business.

Storytelling can make or break your leadership
Harvard Business Review
Jeff Gothelf writes: "It's a new goal-setting framework." That was one of my large enterprise clients' attempt at an inspirational rallying cry for their rollout of Objectives and Key Results, or OKRs. As you might expect, it wasn't met with much enthusiasm: "Why do we need a new goal-setting system?" managers and employees protested. "What will this mean for my evaluation? Am I still on track for that promotion?"

Humility is a crucial component for leadership, at all levels
The Hill
Marilyn Gist writes: Let's be clear: it is leaders who have the power to make things better. By leaders, I mean the people selected to lead businesses and nonprofits and the elected people to lead our government at local, regional and national levels.
Leaders can make a difference, but we have another huge problem: most leaders don't recognize that their usual approach cannot solve our problems.
