Leadership Tune Up - Part Five

Having an Effective Leadership Framework.  

Graniterock Team Members have learned a great deal from seminars conducted by Larry Bonine, former Arizona Department of Transportation Director and now head of the Pinnacle Leadership consulting firm. Larry tells his audiences that the best managers view workers in the role of volunteers.  Larry’s thinking offers a useful framework for managers to evaluate management approaches -- deciding between the effective ones and discarding those that should no longer be used.  Volunteers are motivated by buy-in to an organization’s goals, by an opportunity to self-lead actions about how best to help, and by working in a team environment in which other people genuinely share the same goals.  Leaders understand the importance of supporting and achieving a worthwhile purpose to Americans – regardless of whether someone’s job title is volunteer or worker.
