		<description><![CDATA[Let’s be honest. What this post is really about is what blogs this leadership blog writer reads, simply because these blogs may be of benefit to you. Like you, I skim read a number of blogs and newsletters. But there are only three writers who consistently offer me compelling reading.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What’s interesting is what gets frontline managers and executives fired. While there is some basic commonality between frontline leadership and senior leadership, senior leaders get promoted for certain abilities that aren’t necessarily required of frontline leaders, they get fired for different things, and their role is fundamentally different.]]></description>

In more recent times, the Corporate Leadership Council identified that fair and accurate informal positive feedback from a knowledgeable source (such as a person’s immediate manager) is the single most effective performance management lever available.]]></description>

Consequently, in many situations you face day-to-day, feedforward makes much more sense than feedback.]]></description>
