Love this article and will be passing it on to our executive. However, there are a couple of spelling mistakes which I think would reflect badly on the credibility of the source. So rather than PDF’ing it and attaching it to an email for distribution, I find myself having to cut and paste it into a word document.

This is right on the money! I believe that a lack of strategic thinking and leadership is one of the biggest risks to US businesses today.

Comment on A Plan Versus a Strategy: Is There a Difference? by Yathiesh

I Guess The Explaination in the main article is clear

As Per My understanding Plan – has Definite Resources , Definite Path and Assumed Obstacles (Risk ) to Reach the Goal .

Startegy on the other hand is how you use the resouces and Manaqe the Obstacles to Reach the Goal – Successfully , with less problems .

So Strategy is input to plan .

Comment on Establishing Accountability Through Effective Leadership by Priacta

Thanks for this development and accountability article. You have a point there. Unless we hold people, be it managers or hourly employees responsible for their actions, their learned behavior, the training and development efforts are bound to go waste. Discipline needs to be maintained in every aspect of work, including leadership development and job accountability.

Comment on Does Fairness Matter? by Mitch Mitchell

Since I don’t have employees I can’t really answer that one specifically, but if I had to pick one I’d say I’m closest to integrity. I feel that one can’t successfully lead if their character is always in question.

However, I’d also like to respond to the question in your topic, that being “does fairness matter.” Of course fairness matters. If you treat one employee better than the other one you’ll see how it affects the work of the person you’re giving less respect to more often than not. Actually, you might end up with the same behavior from the person you’re treating better because they might feel they can do no wrong.

I will admit that when I was a director I was closer to my supervisors than the front line staff, but mainly because I worked more directly with them than the others. But I always made sure I treated each supervisor with the same respect, since it was really them that was going to determine whether I was successful or not.
