Would You Like Your Employees to
be Independent Thinkers?
At a recent Chief
Executive Boards International meeting, a member was troubled by the fact
that his day was constantly interrupted by employees, either in person or by
cell phone, asking him for decisions.
Do you hear your key managers (or yourself)
saying "I wish my employees would think for themselves" or "Most
of my time is taken with answering questions I shouldn't have to answer"?
These are symptoms of the "Answer Man" syndrome. It causes unnecessary
interruptions, emails and phone calls and causes many managers undue
frustration, distraction and stress.
What's the "syndrome" part? These are
behaviors, and the manager (or yourself) is the "enabler" and
reinforcer of these behaviors. The employees think that's what you want. The
reasons are classic symptoms of "co-dependency."
Here
are some of those reasons, and a one-step process for breaking this cycle of
dependency.

Returns to Spring Summit
Robert A. Lawson, Ph.D., Professor of
Economics and George H. Moor Chair of Economics at Capital University will
again address the Spring Summit on April 24, 2008. Many of you will
remember Bob's entertaining and enlightening remarks at the Spring 2006
Summit. He'll give us some insight into the current US and world economy,
an
assessment of the Presidential candidates' economic platforms and some
suggestions on business strategies that fit the current economic
times.
If you haven't done so, Register
Now for the Spring Summit and reserve a hotel room at The Blackwell.
Spring Summit Reminder
Remember that the Spring Summit is
the first of our 2008 Summits, which now start on Thursday morning and end on
Friday afternoon.
You'll want to plan to arrive in
Columbus on Wednesday, April 23. We'll have a reception at The Blackwell
from 6:30 to 8:00 where you'll be able to renew acquaintances with other CEBI
members. The Summit will start with breakfast Thursday morning and an
opening session at 8:30 am.
Remember also that there's
a special 1/2 price offer if you'd like to bring a qualified guest (business
owner, president or CEO) to the Summit. Contact the CEBI
office at 864 527-5917 for details.
We have some great Executive
Briefings being prepared by CEBI members, plus a Roundtables session similar to
the one you liked at the Fall 2007 Summit. If
you haven't done so, register now for the Summit and reserve a hotel room at The
Blackwell.
See you in Columbus,
Terry Weaver
