Are they productive, or generally considered a waste of time? Do you attend too many meetings? How do others value the meetings *you* run? If you are like most managers we know, your experience in running and participating in meetings is less than ideal. no mauzenne http://www.manager-tools.com/2007/01/the-juggling-koan/ Sun, 14 Jan 2007 10:01:19 -0500 http://www.manager-tools.com/2007/01/the-juggling-koan/#comments http://www.manager-tools.com/2007/01/the-juggling-koan/ Michael Auzenne and Mark Horstman The Juggling Koan Mark recently blogged with our first ever management koan, "What Would An Effective Manager Do?"

There probably isn't a management book out there that doesn't talk about the importance of delegation. However, very seldom does the author get into the type of detail we'll discuss today. Today, we cover the "how to" ... how to determine what and to whom to delegate and specifically what specific steps to take when delegating to an individual. no mauzenne http://www.manager-tools.com/2005/08/the-art-of-delegation/ Mon, 22 Aug 2005 09:45:27 -0400 http://www.manager-tools.com/2005/08/the-art-of-delegation/#comments 0B25AD0B-CEB9-461E-B0FB-40DF1ECA8GG3 Michael Auzenne and Mark Horstman The Art of Delegation - Part 1 Today, Mark and I discuss the topic of Delegation.

We think one of the reasons for that is that there's some negativity to it. What we mean by that is that one on ones are an easy winner. It's about your team member, they want more time with you, a half hour with you every week seems too good to be true. And, if you've stuck to it, you've noticed improvements in areas that go beyond just employee relationships. Maybe they're kind of hard on your schedule INITIALLY, but they're perceived positively. no mauzenne http://www.manager-tools.com/2005/10/feedback-revisited/ Mon, 10 Oct 2005 08:01:00 -0400 http://www.manager-tools.com/2005/10/feedback-revisited/#comments http://www.manager-tools.com/2005/10/feedback-revisited/ Michael Auzenne and Mark Horstman Feedback - Revisited! We've gotten a great many questions, comments, and kudos for our show in July on the Feedback Model. Many listeners are discovering the power of feedback, of taking it out of the realm of the rare and into the stream of the every day. Not to sound repetitive, but most managers see feedback as akin to holding their breath - waiting as long as possible, and then creating a lot of sound and often fury. The Feedback Model tells us to see feedback like breathing - so regular as to become unnoticed.Many of you have written asking questions about how to counter some of the typical responses to the feedback you give. "What do I do or say when they tell me they'll 'think about it'? What if they SAY they'll make the change, only to continue in their ineffective behavior patterns? As you might imagine, we've dealt with these issues before, and this show talks about the approach to take, and once again, gives you SPECIFIC things to say and why they work.We do a brief review of the feedback model at the front of the cast, but still encourage you to give a listen to our original cast, in the July Archives no mauzenne http://www.manager-tools.com/2005/07/giving-effective-feedback/ Mon, 18 Jul 2005 17:29:25 -0400 http://www.manager-tools.com/2005/07/giving-effective-feedback/#comments CD72E886-CD26-4AC1-83B7-4828245077BE Michael Auzenne and Mark Horstman Giving Effective Feedback - Part 4 In this week's podcast, Mike and Mark share a technique managers can use to give feedback to their team members. Feedback is the most frequently-used tool of effective managers. What is feedback?
