Part II: Attributes of Exceptional Managerial Practice

The Introspective Leader Podcast

In the second of a two-part episode, Rachel and Stuart discuss seven of the ten attributes of EXCEPTIONAL managerial practice.
The Attributes:

• Developing and Mentoring
• Delegating EFFECTIVELY
• Preparing for the Next Challenge
• Transitioning from a Conceptual/Strategic Mindset to a Concrete/Tactical Mindset, and/or Vice Versa
• Influencing in all Directions and with a Diverse Range of Individuals
• Moving Toward, not away From, Having Difficult Conversations
• Under-Promising, Over-Delivering
• Taking Calculated Risks
• Viewing Shortcomings and Failures as Opportunities for Development and Growth
• And MANAGING!

Key Moments:

• Stuart and Rachel discuss the relationship between introversion/extraversion and the ability to influence and move toward having difficult conversations
• Stuart explains how a manager can practice virtually every one of the attributes of exceptional management and still fail
• And they each discuss their relationship with failure, how it has evolved, and how one's perception of failure may be, at least in part, generational
