In the not-so-distant past, managers had a heavy hand in directing work. They told employees exactly what to do, how to do it, and when. Most of the time, managers supervised work as it happened and were in charge of small groups of employees who were all in one place and whose work was the same from day to day.

Usually when I am working with leaders - the tomorrow we are working on is long term. "How can we transform this organization over the next 2 years?" "How do we create a high performing team?" "How can we be more competitive, add more value to ensure our viability?"
Together we build long term plans to move the people and the organization to that vision via change plans, strategic roadmaps, organization and individual development.
But given the conversations I have had recently with leaders, and the crazy business environment we have been in for 2011, it strikes me that it is a good time to focus on tomorrow - literally. We are a week into 4th quarter as I write this. What is it that you have committed to getting done by the end of the year? Where are you with that?
