Hi
Friend
Managers do
this every day - jot down notes to or
about their employees without
thinking of the consequences. This
week we look at the issue of writing
notes and what should or shouldn't be
done before you hit send or hand over
the note to your team
member.
We
then look at the issue of leaders
going first.
Our
product of the week is one of the
most powerful leadership development
tools available.
THIS
WEEK
Watch What You Write
When You Manage
Employees
Many of the HR
cases I have been involved in over
the years came about because of
something a manager has written in a
note or email to or about an
employee. In this article I share my
top 10 writing rules for
managers.

EDITION
HR Tip - Leaders go
first in Performance
Reviews
If
you are serious about performance
reviews and want to change the
culture of your team, you need to go
first.
Product of the Week -
Situational
Leadership
If you want to
improve your leadership skills you
first need to know your strengths and
challenges. This online assessment
gives you detailed feedback about
your current skills as well as
providing training on how to improve
them.
Blog Post of the
Week: Seeing the World Through
Different
Eyes
When you are
learning new skills you go through a
number of stages. In this post I
share my personal experience in
learning to see through different
eyes.
Have a
