Newest People Management Tactic: Transformational Leadership

In Bangkok Thailand Feb 2012 training 24 managers of a MNC
Successful managers use a very effective management tactic that wins people over easily. This tactic is actually a process that manages people without managing.  

This is because a good manager never managers anyone, he simply creates the conditions for people to manage themselves.  

Transformational Leadership (TL) is the latest buzzword in management.  This is how works:
  1. You find out what are the goals of people
  2. You share with them the goals of your organization
  3. You link how achieving the organization's goals will achieve their individual's goals
  4. You show them the step-by-step pathways to achieving the 2 goals, plus you offer assistance and coaching.  
You see, when you do the above, you are not telling people that they must achieve your organization's goals.  You're helping your people to achieve their own goals.  Asking questions helps you to find out what are their real needs.  You will be seen as a caring manager

But you cannot just ask a few questions and expect them to tell you. You need to ask the RIGHT Questions in the RIGHT ORDER. We call this Coaching. 

Other than that, you also need to use questions to overcome their objections.  Common objections include it's too difficult, we don't have the resources to achieve the goals, we're not ready and how can we achieve something we have never done before?  

It is said that the real job of a manager lies in overcoming staff objections.  For if he cannot overcome objections, the objections will overwhelm him and soon he will have no one to manage.

This new course People Management Strategies shows you how to use advanced management techniques including Transformational Leadership to sell your goals to your people based on value to your people. It will increase your management effectiveness.  Over 121 slides will be shared, and the trainer will also give you guidance after the course free-of-charge.

Whether you are managing a big team or small team, if you too want to be a more effective manager, this is just one management course that you have to attend. Date: 6 June 2014 Friday 9 am to 12.30 pm.

What an Executive Coach and Business Coach Does

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years.  Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself?  At least I have better discipline".  It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Head Bleeding when the Chair Falls

The Weight of Silence: What Were We Really Arguing About? My earliest memories are punctuated by the sound of shouting. In 1970, when I was barely 6 years old, I stood as a small witness to the fierce quarrels between my father and my late eldest brother Kah Yang (he passed away in 1971 at the age of 17). As I grew up, these contradictions became the soundtrack of our lives, usually centered around our family's shoe shop and clothing stalls in Chinatown. In the court of family opinion, the verdict was almost always the same: my father was "wrong." He was judged as a man who didn't fulfill his role, who wasn't "burdening" enough for the family’s success. But as I look back from the vantage point of 2026, I have to ask: Was that actually true? Let me finally put to rest what my father did right: the truths that were buried under decades of criticism: Unseen Labor: He worked grueling, long hours. I remember him hauling boxes of goods and equipment to set u...
