When Leaders Should And Should Not Be Tactful

How to listen to complaints often true leaders, "Do not ruffle any feathers," or "Do not wave," or not "Do not hurt my feelings," or "You should be more considerate or polite? " Note that it usually asks for these kinds of questions or comments are not interesting? One seldom questions an effective leader will hear a colleague tact. These statements usually individuals who may mean well by while they are, are rarely consistent leadership.

Needs to be a true leader has been active - that is, to see a situation as it exists that need improvement, and deal with it before it becomes a major crisis. While there is certainly a time, and efficiency needs to be replaced, I put countless hours of wasted time in the name of efficiency is. Tact on the management and leadership were because all too often the "leader" who is not a good job in the first place "well done, congratulate the people on the job, and these same" leaders " privately criticized at the time. There is a time for tact, but there is an even more important time to express frustration. if ever expressed disappointment that, anyone know how to do what was done was not expected.

I have heard countless organizational "leaders" lack of tact on the performance of paid employees complain about. These "leaders" that paid staff should remember it well - they are paid to work and do it properly. Patience and tact is required when a task is assigned the original, but the staff has repeatedly disappointed, frustrated by a real leader should express a clear manner. Nor the lack of tact and lack of the request - not a normal way to handle the poor job performance.

However, both leaders and their expectations of employees and volunteers should be clearly should. The clarity of goals, required actions, and each step should include a time frame. Only suggested time line often inadequate and ineffective. It must first be told verbally to questions asked for a chance to fully answered together. So, the expectations of politicians writing (an e-mail this person is acceptable) should be sent.

Tact quietly accepting poor quality work and performance should not mean. It's OK to be polite, but with greater performance leaders who are concerned with tact, usually are not leaders at all. I have consulted with hundreds of leaders, and a lot less polite but clear thinker, who like to work with action and results oriented, and others seeking what he himself most of the "leaders" do present themselves as from demand. Unfortunately, it is more common to come across ineffective, but humble leader. In reality, and in terms of getting things done, more efficiently is rated!
