How to make the transition from manager to leader ? Business ...

Business Alert: How to Make the Transition from Manager to Leader

Falls Church, Va. ??Almost any head of a company or CEO will concur that great leaders aren?t born, they?re made. However, not every manager can be an exceptional leader. Going from a manager to a leader involves inward reflection and certain intrinsic values (such as attitude and thoughts). Discover five key questions corporate managers should ask themselves to become a great leader.

According to Business Management Daily contributor Mike Winstanley, ?True leaders look inward every day and take stock of themselves. As simple as it sounds, it?s the step most overlooked by managers in their journey to becoming leaders.?

Winstanley adds, ?That?s why managers who aspire to be leaders (and, believe me, there is a difference) must constantly ask themselves thought-provoking questions and answer those questions honestly.?

Here are five crucial questions Winstanley suggests every manager who wants to be a leader should ask themselves:

1. What does ?it? look like? Many people struggle with their leadership abilities because they?ve never stepped back and thought about what it means to truly be a leader. Ask yourself the question, ?What are the characteristics embodied by leaders I admire??

2. How?s my attitude? How do you feel about your job and employer? If managers think their working conditions stink, they?re underpaid and their bosses hate them, they?ll pass this attitude on to their employees. Attitudes are contagious, and attitudes affect behavior and job performance. As a leader, you have to be conscious of your attitude?s impact on your team and the people around you. Then work to eliminate the negative behaviors that result from it.

3. How do I stack up? Do an honest self-appraisal. Rate yourself on a scale of 1-10 as to how well you think you?re doing on each task on a daily basis. That will give you a ballpark idea of where you?re at. Then ask yourself what a ?10? looks like for each item. Put it into specific behavioral terms. This will give you a beginning picture as to what you have to do (or stop doing) to become a better leader.

4. What?s my real value? Managers must ask what value they bring to the organization. How do they affect the corporate bottom line? Remember, your company expects a return on its investment. Managers should assess their true value and put it in terms of how the company profits from the things they do on a day-to-day basis.

5. Do I believe? Do you truly believe you can become a great leader? If you have doubts, analyze why. Don?t blame your company or boss for holding you back. Honestly ask yourself if it?s inside of you to be a leader OR are if you have any fears of being a success or failure.

Winstanley adds, ?Don?t try to change everything at once ? it may be too overwhelming. Try working on one item at a time. Small steps make for an easier journey.?

Winstanley concludes, ?Finally, remember that this self-analysis is what successful leaders do all the time. It?s part of their daily schedule.?

No child left alone: Volunteers mentor children of inmates

With 2.3 million inmates behind bars in the US, the goal of volunteers in mentor programs for the 2.7 million children of prisoners is: No child left alone. Despite government cuts in funding, the programs continue.

By G. Jeffrey MacDonald,?Correspondent / March 25, 2012

Kayla Booze was a happy 9-year-old who loved art projects and was an A-student in elementary school ? before the police came for her father.

Skip to next paragraph

Kayla's childhood sunshine was eclipsed when her dad was convicted in 2005 of murder for shooting a man in a barbershop fight and sentenced to life in a Mississippi federal prison. Kayla grew guarded and angry, says Brandy Booze, Kayla's mother, who was left to raise three daughters on her own as a part-time retail saleswoman. Faltering grades and disinterest put the child at risk of dropping out of New Orleans schools.

It was a familiar spiral for kids like Kayla and her two younger sisters, who belong to a little-known American population that is highly vulnerable and mostly invisible: the children left behind by the US inmate population of 2.3 million. There are an estimated 2.7 million children with a parent behind bars, according to a Pew Center on the States report. And that's up from 950,000 in 1987 when 1 out of every 125 kids had a parent in jail or prison; today it's 1 in 28. Among African-American children, it's 1 in 9.

The strains and shame of parental incarceration compound other childhood challenges, from poverty to an unstable home life. So these children are more at risk than others of ending up in prison themselves.

But Kayla, now 17, was detoured from that route and is making decent grades in high school. She's teaching herself piano and preparing for college and a career in fashion design.

A key factor in her turnaround: Her mother hasn't been alone in guiding the kids. Kayla has a mentor ? Brenda Williams ? who meets her every two weeks for an outing to church, a meal, or a stroll in a park. So when a principal called a meeting to discuss poor grades last year, at the table with Mom was Ms. Williams, who was matched with Kayla in 2009 through a federal faith-based initiative called Mentoring Children of Prisoners (MCP).

Williams's role in Kayla's life, says the teen, "motivated me because it was more than [just my mother] telling me that I had to do what I had to do. [My mentor] wants to see me succeed, to write books, and have that fashion line. But I can't do that if I don't graduate...."

The MCP support system that brought Kayla and Williams together was a $49 million annual program that, between 2003 and last September, paired more than 100,000 children of prisoners with volunteer mentors. A legacy of the George W. Bush administration's faith-based initiative that aimed to deliver a larger share of social services through religious organizations, MCP steered money to agencies, some faith-based and some not, to partner with churches and other organizations in recruiting and training mentors.

But the program came to an abrupt end because of federal budget cuts last September.

At the time, advocates for the program said mentors would soon stop meeting with their mentees. "In big cities, you're going to see less and less mentoring because there's not federal money to support it," predicted Beth Lovell, director of family strengthening for Volunteers of America, a faith-based group and MCP grantee. "Where there's federal money, that's what people will move to. It's just business."

But a six-month Monitor investigation of the former MCP projects found that mentoring has not withered.

More than a dozen agencies nationwide report that most of the MCP matches continue to meet and receive staff support when occasional problems arise. Reporting on the ground in four cities found relationships to be resilient despite tough circumstances.

Focus on the Family Community: Relationships and Marriage: I ...

Hi. I don't know where to begin or what to say. Please bear with me, english isn't my first language. My wife and I had been together for 10 years, married for 3 and have a 7 year old son.

?

I betrayed my wife over the course of the last 3 months. It started as an emotional affair, but quickly grew into a physical and sexual affair, and it was such an ego boost for me that even though I wanted to stop, most of the time I didn't want to stop. My wife found out after she had been having suspicions for a month on and off - she woke me up with evidence of our conversations that were very intimate and explicit. I was in shock, I couldn't deny it, I didn't want to admit it, my lies caught up with reality and I wanted to escape. When she woke me up she was shaking and said that she loved me and that we could work through anything and asked whether I was in love with the other woman. I was empty inside, and somehow all I wanted was my phone, I don't know why but at that moment I felt this wasn't happening and if I can just get my phone I could lie, deny and cover it up. That obviously wasn't the right reaction, but I couldn't help it. She was then furious, we had an argument about my phone and she left. She didn't have anywhere to go and ended going to my parents and her parents, told them that I had been having an affair and came back with her mother who took my son and I couldn't say or do anything, I just had to keep out of their way. I rushed to work as I was already late and knew that I would be stuck in traffic, but I also wanted to get there as soon as possible as the woman I had been having an affair with is one of my co-workers, I wanted to let her know what was going on.

?

I can't say that I was or am in love with this woman, but I have to admit that I did develop feelings for this woman, as we just got along well, we were too honest with each other and I stepped over the boundaries with my communication with her. It actually started with a kiss at a work function/lunch where we had too much to drink, and from then on we started e-mailing, texting and talking at work. We eventually went out for lunch a couple of times and became intimate. We planned work trips where we could sleep over and that is where the affair became sexual. We exchanged very explicit messages that I am ashamed of if I think about them, and the worst part is, my wife probably has all of these, and I can't begin to imagine how much it pains her to know that I let alone physically betrayed her, but emotionally as well, especially with all the conversations we shared. She has quoted some of the conversations to me and I am deeply ashamed of the content.

?

I apologize for the length of this, but I need to get it out.

?

The same day my wife discovered, she showed up at my workplace and wanted to confront the other woman in the reception area. I went instead and there was a huge scene where I had to force my wife outside to try and get her to have the confrontation outside. I then got the other woman to come with me to see my wife and I had another reaction which my wife is now also holding against me. She put her hand out and I immediately thought she was going to attack the other woman, so I got in between them, this was the worst thing I could do as my wife and her mother, who was there as well, reckon I defended the other woman and did not stand by my wife. I can understand that, and it hurts me to think that maybe subsconciously, that could be what I did.

?

My wife can be very impulsive at times, and she went to lawyers that same day, with the evidence and started to file for divorce. I left work late and I could not go home, my wife threw out all my clothes (packed them in the garage for me to collect) and kicked me out of the house. I managed to hold her for a while, but knew that I couldn't even try to argue with her or try to stay. I stayed over at my parents and I had to go to work the next day. I did have contact with the other woman on both those days, Thursday and Friday as well as on Saturday. And unfortunately, for the time being I can't avoid her at work. We lied at work and people seem to believe our story that we had only been messaging each other and that my wife overreacted. I feel bad about this, and feel that it's just more disrespect for my wife, but I really can't afford to lose my job as we are also in a lot of debt since my wife quit her job at the end of last year.

?

I have been texting my wife over and over since Saturday, asking for a chance, for forgiveness, for a chance to talk, but she is now emotionally shut down when it comes to me and we unfortunately have also had a few fights as well. She is adamant about getting a divorce and she says she hates me and that she doesn't want me back. She says after me not being there, or not producing some kind of gesture on the Thursday (discovery) and Friday that she will never give me a chance, and that I blew my chance as those were the only days that she was susceptible to me asking for a chance. I always thought that if I did something like this, that I would lose her, maybe that was why I reacted the way I did, I probably already accepted that I'd lose her.

?

I don't really want to mention this, and it is not the reason that I fell into this trap, but it did leave me more vulnerable - 3 years ago, 4 months after our wedding, my wife got drunk at a party while I was home sick with chicken pox, a guy we knew took her home, but when they got to our house she didn't want to go home. They ended up at his house, had sex and she came home the following day and confessed. It completely broke me, and even though I felt I couldn't judge her and felt that he took advantage, it was still a betrayal, and it probably took me the most of the last 3 years to try and cope with it, all the while we were fighting and struggled to have a normal relationship. But it got better, and we had plans, she was going to stay at home, we were planning to have 2 more kids and even though I wasn't entirely happy, looking back now that was the perfect plan for me, for us.

?

How did I get here? It's been almost 10 days, and I can't see any glimpse of hope that she'll give me a chance to earn her trust, love and forgiveness. Throughout the last year I have read so many stories of hope and healing around unfaithfullness - And I feel even worse now than when I started typing, I know the pain, I have read it in so many stories, how could I have done this? What kind of a man am I?

?

She is the love of my life, I cannot bear to be without her a day longer, all I want to do is hold her and know that we will be ok, tell her that we will be ok, and know that she believes it. I am going to lose her, my son, my life for nothing, absolutely nothing. I don't want to lose her, I want to have a chance to make it right, I am so miserable and I need help. How do I get thorugh to my wife? How can I speak to her heart, I have tried so many times, but I all I seem to see in her eyes is hate and utter disgust for me. How do I save my marriage?

Inland Night Lights: Computer Communication Eroding Human ...

Here's a discussion about a feeling I have frequently.

I think this has to do with spending a lot of time on the computer.

I come home lots of nights and feel absolutely invisible. Talking to the birds and my baby helps. Listening to music helps. Cleaning house helps. Any action performed in the three dimensions that we physically live in, helps.

The problem is that when you do something for 40 hours a week, that is long, long hours of behavioral conditioning. All those computer, screen hours are spent in a place where my immediate location is irrelevant---all I'm doing is being the eye in the sky (eye in the screen) tapping on a keyboard, plugged into the hive mind. I am not "in" the present.

And, looking around, I see that lots and lots of people are in the same boat. Do they have that weird feeling by the end of the day? People on that thread blame the original poster for smoking pot, but that probably relieves his symptoms, rather than exacerbating them; besides, he says he had this problem long before he ever smoked pot. I would imagine pot would help, alcohol would aggravate...in fact the alternative smokes I favor do help quite a bit, if only to loosen up the clenched jaw that results from a day in the void digesting and regurgitating the rotten news of the day in broadcast format. So there I am in my head. But only in my head.

I might need to get a baby bird companion. When Bernie was here with me he helped a lot. Lots of work though.

Besides, that doesn't change the fact that when you spend 8 hours in two dimensions, existing not in your body but only your mind, it is an alteration of reality--the reality that the human mind has dealt in for millenia.

Suddenly, all of humanity stares into screens for most of the day.

This is why I am afraid maybe I agree with the responding person who says the OP's problem is a spiritual ache because he's coming to the realization that we all are doomed.

I think it is possible that people are literally unable to save themselves from tyranny because they have been coerced/tricked into living in two dimensions only, and the actual work of self-governing must be done in three dimensions---the dimensions in which people actually have conversations with each other.

People are losing the ability to communicate, to bridge differences. I am seeing this before my own eyes. In the workplace, computers have been an effective way for upper-upper echelon managers to ignore the effects of their edicts upon the troops. Send an email or a memo, never talk to or interact with the employees, much less painful to lay them off fire them. The role of the computer in corporate culture is a sociological study that I'll be guessing has never actually taken place, despite a world rich with opportunity. Why aren't universities and think tanks studying a change in human communications that has massive everyday impacts upon human behavior?

I am thinking that this might just be because computers and living in two dimensions enhances the ability to deal with multiple-choice options (searching) but does nothing for one's ability to imagine or intuit new ways of doing things..in the three dimensions.

It is a terrible problem, because the computer also makes knowledge-sharing possible in a way it never was before. We are all connected to the hive mind through the wires.

But is it good for democracy?

I know self-governing seems tantalizingly possible through the Net. But I also know those Arab Spring uprisings brought together a whole bunch of demonstrators who knew what they wanted, but did not have the solid community structures to step in and take over governance. There are certainly communications tools available in a way that never has been possible before.

But, when one considers how the computer has impacted everyday relationships, there are troubling signs. If people cannot even make eye contact in the elevator---if they must have their eyes on their hand-held device the whole time---are these people one can expect to communicate enough with others to create democratic communities?

People need to be able to be in the present with other people. "Occupy" knew that, which is why they did what they did. The rest of the world? They seem to be perfectly fine with the idea that someone else will do the job of democracy..for them.

(Overheard: discussion about race. "Have you ever seen any Japanese homeless people?" says one person. The other agrees, there are no Japanese homeless people.

Except for the really nice Japanese kid who slept in our carport for a year and a half and read textbooks every night. Really quiet kid who would chase off the drug addicts. Never bothered anyone.

"Work ethic" was another phrase I heard...but I can't hear most of the conversation. Which is probably a good thing.)
