Your highest value work as a leader

March 9, 2023 by Mike Russell Leave a Comment

What are the things you should be doing as a leader or manager that are specific to your role?

That is your highest value work in that role.

If you are a leader, then it’s normally leading. If a manager, then managing.

Make sure that work is taken care of every day.

Doing work others should be doing reduces your value if

  1. That work crowds out leading and managing …
  2. You shouldn’t be doing that work in the first place …

Make sure every day you also aren’t doing the wrong work.

Sometimes it helps to have another perspective to help frame value vs. non or low value work … a good coach can help with that, and also providing some “safe” accountability if needed for making changes.

Getting coaching isn’t a business failure … failure to get coaching when needed is a business failure.
