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
- That work crowds out leading and managing …
- 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.
