Leadership is needed at all levels to achieve growth and success!

How do you develop the leadership skills in your organization at all levels to maximize success of the business and people? How can a team get better at taking the risks needed to get to second base successfully knowing that they have to leave first base?  How does a leader begin a thousand mile journey and get the team to take the difficult first, second and third steps? What habits and behaviors are needed to get through the rough patches to reach goals? How does a team stay focused to take more high percentage shots?

In wrestling with these questions to achieve growth and success as a senior leader in many different roles and businesses over 20 years at Hewlett Packard and Agilent Technologies, the following themes were articulated, internalized and put into practice:

WCM's Top 10 elements to growth and success for Individuals and Teams

2. What are we here to accomplish..... be clear, concise and compelling
3. Always keep swinging......we all get better if we aren't afraid to
try new things

5. Be responsive, set expectations with each other - EX: Text/Cell -mins; E-mail hours;  vmail - days; USMAIL - does this still exist?
