How to Delegate, for Technical Managers

October 22, 2013 By Steven Cerri Leave a Comment

Here we go again. There seem to be endless discussions about "delegation". Over and over again the same answer is given regarding how one should go about learning to delegate. And over and over, the advice seems less than adequate. The most recent article I read was on the TechRepublic website and it discussed delegation and how to learn to delegate successfully. Like so many other discussions regarding this topic, it focused on the idea … [Read more...] about How to Delegate, for Technical Managers

#94 Why Everyone Wants To Be A Leader

April 15, 2011 By Steven Cerri Leave a Comment

Hello everyone, I'm always amazed at how much people love the word "leader". Everywhere I read (only a slight exaggeration) I find references to this person is a leader, that person is a leader, everyone is a leader. Leadership doesn't even seem to be a function of experience. Someone right out of college can be a leader, but not many people seem to be willing to raise their hand and proclaim that they are a manager. They may be a manager by … [Read more...] about #94 Why Everyone Wants To Be A Leader

#91 Descent Into Leadership

July 22, 2010 By Steven Cerri

Hello everyone! I know, everyone wants to be a leader. No one wants to be a manager… right? Management has no glory but leaders are the heroes. I've heard it all before. Business magazines tout the virtues of leadership and praise the leaders and say little about the managers who toil at their craft. I even coach clients who do not want to be managers but rather want to be leaders when there is no one to lead and nothing to lead them … [Read more...] about #91 Descent Into Leadership

Do you manage for the sprint, or the marathon? Hello everyone! Do you manage for the sprint?...or .... Do you manage for the marathon?… or ... Do you manage for the race? What is a sprint? Imagine a Summer Olympics bicycle sprint race around a track. The racers are poised on their bikes. Their leg muscles are tense. Their hearts are pounding.
