Management Moment

Power Point: My friend is the one who brings out the best in me.
Henry Ford
Power Thought – Good leaders are always looking for ways to bring out the best in their people. It’s important to be an encouragement to those around you. As you motivate the people around you it will become contagious. Imagine a workplace that is infected with enthusiasm and encouragement? In that atmosphere, productivity thrives and everyone wins. Try it!

Power Surge: People do not care how much you know until they know how much you care.

Embracing Change - Week of Dec. 21
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Management Moment
By Doug Dickerson
Power Point: Lucy – “I would like to change the world.”
Charlie Brown –“Where would you like to start?”
Lucy – “I would start with you!”
Power Thought – It’s not uncommon for leaders to feel this way. Change can be an ugly word in any organization, and too often the temptation is to change people instead of systems. Change resistance is overcome when a climate of trust is built within the organization. The more people in the organization trust the leader, the more they are willing to embrace the idea of change.

Power Surge: If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his true friend. Next, probe to discover what he wants to accomplish.

The greatness of your people - Week of Dec. 14
Management Moment
By Doug Dickerson
Power Point: The leader finds greatness in the group, and he or she helps the members find it in themselves.

While they possess it, they may not realize it. Today, why not tell someone how great you think they are. As you do, they will be inspired to reach new heights.
-Doug Dickerson
Power Surge: If a leader demonstrates competency, genuine concern for others, and admirable character, people will follow.

Servant Leadership - Week of Nov. 30
Management Moment
By Doug Dickerson
Power Point: Rather than trying to figure out what everybody can do for you, start looking for things that you can do for somebody else.
-Joel Osteen
Power Thought: In management it’s all too common to ask others to do something for us. When was the last time you asked to do something for a colleague? Respect is built in your organization when you are not afraid to give instead of receive. A leader with a servant’s heart is one who is secure in herself. That’s the kind of leadership that will inspire your organization to great things.
-Doug Dickerson
Power Surge: A great man is always willing to be little.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Take care of the individual - Week of Nov. 23
Management Moment
By Doug Dickerson
Power Point: The bigger we get the smaller we have to think. Customers still walk in one at a time.
-Sam Walton
Power Thought: In today’s marketplace, too often the bottom line is viewed with the masses in mind. But it’s through individual service and attention that we draw the customers and clients back. When you methodically take care of the individual you will take care of the masses. Your bottom line is reflective of how you treat the individual.

Leading through meekness - Week of Nov. 16
Management Moment
By Doug Dickerson
Power Point: Quit trying to be humble. You’re not that great.
- Golda Meir
Power Thought: One of the finer qualities of a leader is that of humility. You know the person I’m talking about. She goes above and beyond what’s asked or required, is devoted, loyal and trustworthy. This person prefers to be in the background rather than in the limelight. She may not have the title of boss or chief executive, but has the qualities you wish the title-bearer did. Humility is not weakness, it’s strength demonstrated, not a position flaunted.
-Doug Dickerson
Power Surge: It’s too bad the meek haven’t already inherited the earth, because the unmeek are making a real mess of it.
