Don't Be That Boss

Congrats! You've been promoted to a leadership position in your organization. Now, you've been asked to inspire and ignite enthusiasm in people while maintaining total coordination and control among everyone throughout the organization. In the back of your mind you're thinking, "I CAN do this and I WANT to do this...but HOW do I do this?"

Research states that everyone at some point in his or her life achieves the Peter Principle. This is a concept originated by Laurence Peter which states, "In a hierarchy, every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence." Moreover, Peter contests, "in time, every post tends to be occupied by an employee who is incompetent to carry out its duties."

The key is, to learn as much as you can, do the best job that you can, help people everyday to feel good about work they are doing, hopefully continue to make good money as you learn, and when you finally have this job figured out and are at the top of your game, you'll be promoted to an even higher position with additional responsibilities you have never performed before, and the process will begin anew!

Sound stressful? Well, don't fear(and certainly don't quit)! You can do this. You can learn how to facilitate effective communication within your organization, perform effective employee appraisals, and be a stellar manager!
