How much time can we afford to give?

There are a ton of people basically screaming at you to tell you what you should care about, and how you should be spending a ton of time of this, that and the other thing.
Who are all these experts and what the heck do they even know?
“If you aren’t spending 10 minutes a week with every employee, you’re a bad manager”
“If you aren’t reading at least 1 hour a day, you’re a bad leader”
“If you aren’t spending…” on and on… And, don’t forget family time and self-care...those are a MUST!
If you did them all, you are right back to not having enough time! We are in a deluge of people, consultants, gurus, organizational geniuses that nobody ever heard of until last week… and the like trying to tell you what is important for you. They don’t know you, they don’t know your unique situation and they don’t know what you mandates are. That is why you will find yourself feeling very inadequate and overwhelmed.
So, here I am writing advice to tell you to stop listening to advice. At least, don’t look for advice until you have your priorities settled.
Nobody can tell you what your priorities should be for your organization. That is what you are there for. Clearly, we have legislative mandates and enterprise wide strategic plans that we must adhere to, but after that, there is plenty of open road for you to choose.
So, turn off the audiobook for a second and really think about what YOU want your organization to look like…then go looking for your spirit animal to guide you.

Administrative evil. Don’t commit it. Don’t abide it.

How to be more stakeholder oriented and less of a rules tyrant. Also, things not to do inside your rather large and complicated organization.

It matters

Not only do you need to practice professional ethics, you have to peach them as well. Much is "caught", but it also has to be taught!

A couple of thoughts on professional ethics and about "preaching what you practice". Setting an example isn't enough...

Was your agency ready for the “quick draw” style management/leadership that this season required?

Do you have a strategy for “returning to normal”?

Do you have a fully articulated plan, complete with written, documented procedures going forward?

We can help.

What happens when you hire a big box consultant? Here's what happened to me.

My story about what happened when I spent $50,000 to hire a "consultant firm". A big one. Also, how I knew I could provide a better service for organizations...
