So you’ll probably have already guessed that this is not a book about discovering who you are, or developing your ability to adapt who you are, or about a journey of self discovery. This is a book about exposing the secrets of being a really effective manager by showing you the key things you need to do consistently and continuously to be an effective boss….and, trust me, it will work whether you’re a newly appointed supervisor or the CEO of a major corporation. Isn’t there more to being a leader than following the 10 Plain English Principles (PEPs)? The answer to this is absolutely YES. As I’ve mentioned, there are some great theories and models on Leadership out there. The approaches are many and varied but if I was looking for a simple description (and I am), the theories are often focused broadly around the concept of leadership being “management” plus the act of inspiring people to act and develop around a strategic vision and cause. But try this as some food for thought:- q Rarely do I see disenchanted followers talk about the lack of strategic inspiration from their bosses. Individuals are more concerned with the real daily experiences they share with their boss. They complain about senior and junior managers not doing “the simple things” consistently. q I put to you that around 80% of your success as a manager or leader will come from effective use of the 10 PEPs q Even better news is that these things should only take about 20-30% of your time What, why and How? In each chapter, I’ll seek to illustrate the “what” and the “why”(i.e. what the principle is and why it’s important.) As far as the “how” goes, here’s the 50:50 deal…..I’ll provide tips to help you more easily carry out each principle but the other half of the “how” will be unique to you. I want you to think about...
