If you’re in a job transition—whatever the reason—before polishing and upload your resume, take a deep breath and consider these ten principles on career change from the leadership strategist and executive coach Stephen G. Payne.
Dr. Stephen G. Payne asks, "How you are dealing with your fear in the recession? Do you hunker down and hope some unseen decision won't bring harm. Do you stretch out the work to appear busy? Or do you take a positive leadership role?"
Lots of transitions going on these days... How you join a new team? Do you project yourself as already having all the answers? Or do you let your new team know that your experience, to be successful, has to combine with their valuable knowledge in a cooperative way? And how do you communicate your perspective on this?
Two things about performance feedback scare the leadership coach Stephen G. Payne:
1. Giving it.
2. Receiving it.
Why? Because badly handled feedback sessions can damage relationships forever.
This call is quite common for a leadership coach like me. Nothing has the potential to strike terror into the heart of an executive like being caught naked — unprepared and unrehearsed — in front of the bosses.
Have you inherited or built a team and felt the difference between what you expect them to do and what you see them achieving? Dr. Stephen G. Payne knows what to do about that.
Dr. Stephen G. Payne wants to talk about trust, beginning with who's trustworthy: "I believe that every moment of your workday is an opportunity to draw closer to God, and one of the ways God helps us is through the words of those we trust."
Dr. Stephen G. Payne — a leadership strategist and executive coach — drills down to the real meaning of success at work, which turns out to have less to do with shallow satisfaction than deep and enduring contribution.
