Intersection of Reflection Leadership and #QUALITY

Reading time: 3 – 4 minutes

I’ve been devoting the last several articles to author and blogger Tanmay Vora’s recent book, #QUALITYtweet. I reviewed the book in a previous article and shared my two-part interview with Tanmay here and here. Today’s article is a guest post from Tanmay.

The Equation of Outcomes

The purpose of leading greatly is to generate high-impact results for the organization, its people, clients and their clients. In the equation of high-impact results (especially in the highly knowledge oriented world of work), two most important factors are people and how they are led.

Leadership creates an environment for people [...]

#QUALITYtweet - An Interview with Tanmay Vora (Part II)

Reading time: 3 – 4 minutes

I’m devoting this week’s articles to author and blogger Tanmay Vora’s recent book, #QUALITYtweet. I reviewed the book in a previous article. Today’s article is part two of this two-part interview with Tanmay. The first part of this interview can be found here.

My experience is that most folks think of project management and quality management as very “hard skill” focused; things are either done or they aren’t. Most of your writing, both in the book and on your blog, seems to focus on the more “soft skills” of leadership. Why do you think it is [...]

#QUALITYtweet - An Interview with Tanmay Vora

Reading time: 3 – 5 minutes

I’m devoting this week’s articles to author and blogger Tanmay Vora’s recent book, #QUALITYtweet. I reviewed the book in my the last article. Today’s article is part one of a two-part interview with Tanmay.

Tanmay’s book is part of the Thinkaha series of books being published by Happy About Books. Each of the books in this series were written based on the format of Twitter and contains “140 bite-sized ideas” that are all no longer than the [...]

Challenges To Being a Team

Reading time: 4 – 6 minutes

For several years now organizations have been trying to become more team oriented. Somewhere along the way we collectively seemed to understand that more things can be done when we split the work amongst a team of people. Nowadays job applicants need to prove that they can play well with others and many times job interviews aren’t with a single person, but with other members of the team to make sure the new person is a good fit.

Based on my experiences, I think we are overselling the use of the word team. I think we [...]
