I like this post from Managing with Aloha Coaching called, The 1 List that Every Manager Must Work With. In it, my pal Rosa stresses several great points about how managers ought to focus how they spend their time. Here is a snippet:
This may seem obvious, but in my investigations of trip-ups that have occurred, I am amazed at how many times a manager did follow up, but never reported back to the person they’d made their commitment to. Their reputation and credibility has gotten marred by a bad assumption that “the results will speak for themselves.”
The three focus areas Rosa suggests are at the foundation of personal excellence. Personal excellence comes from:
- Being able to utilize your strengths to contribute to your organization
- Focusing on doing those things that matter most - daily (Rosa's list hits here)
- Getting better at both of these things

For a management coach, business networking is no simple task. It requires hundreds of complex tasks which can only be performed by highly skilled management coaches. Others told me that using interlinking websites might make a difference in getting found and recognized as an authority. Did you notice some positive effects with using this site?
