Peer One on Ones - Part 1

This guidance recommends why and how to meet weekly, or regularly, with your peer managers.

The higher you go up in your organization, the more you realize that you’re actually less and less able to get things done all by yourself. CEOs say they feel like they’re ‘running in oatmeal’ – they can’t make things happen as directly as they used to. When you’re the VP of Sales, you can’t MAKE that new product you just KNOW your customers will buy like crazy. If you’re the Chief of Manufacturing, even a perfectly made product has to be sold by someone else.

Simply put: relationships grow in importance over the course of one’s career. And that means an effective manager, a Manager Tools Manager, will spend time developing and maintaining important internal relationships. There are a lot of ways to do this, but the easiest is to use the Manager Tools Peer One on One Model.

Typo in subject.

I think you mean :  "This guidance recommends why and how to MEET weekly"... :)

Mark's excellent email rant

I just listened to Part 1 of this cast, and Mark had the soapbox out related to "sending an email".

I was disappointed that it's not in the shownotes as I wanted to pass this on to my team and for them to discuss in their teams. But I'll transcribe it later.

I've always found that Mark's soapbox commentary contains many pearls of wisdom even if he's off on a tangent to the actual cast subject. It's the main reason I listen to every podcast, regardless of the topic.

Regards,

-Antony.

PS. Please hold a conference in Australia.

Wow....

...can't believe my 30 seconds on sending an email is a soapbox moment.  I think we're defining soapbox a little too easily!

One Page Resumes Do Work In Australia

FYI - One Page Resumes work just fine in Australia.  I was able to decline a very nice offer and it all started with a one page MT style resume.
