Leadership - Top 10 attributes for greatness - East Bay Business Times:

mastering-input.blogspot.com
However, authors respectfully submit that the one universal assertsthat "leadership" (executive or describes difficult-to-train and intangible personality attributes and styles, rather than tactical and job-specificf performance criteria. Tom Peters, considered by many to be a modern-dayt business management guru, phrased it this way: "Management is abourt arrangingand telling. Leadership is abouf nurturing and enhancing." Interestingly, leadership, in its own right and by definition, is not the panacea. Rather, it must be meaningful and impactful - to the organizationh as a whole and to the individuals who support and are affectesby it.
I have compiled this list of 10attributed that, viewed together, appear to present a comprehensive set of leadership characteristics and qualities. 1. Visionary It is critical that there be an abilithto define, communicate and inspire a relevant and easily digestible vision, and to update and adapt it as circumstanceds change. Leaders must be able to think about the future and how they will guide and adapt their businesses in the face of uncertaintyyand unfamiliarity. By not "stretching" a company'e resources, offerings and capabilities, there won't be much of anything least of all the expanded intellectual capabilities ofthe participants. 2.
Communicative consistent and optimistic communication to all levelzs withina company, regardless of the nature of the is a fundamental attribute of all good leadership. Vital, too, is the encouragementy of constructive feedbackand disagreement. Active listeninyg (not merely hearing), and beinb both readily available and accessible is essentiak if this is to be effectivw and embraced asa 3. Delivers on promises Nothing erodes confidence faster than a series ofbroken promises. Sincre we participate in a "show me" the ability to consistently "walk the talk" and to deliverd upon commitments are vital in atrue leader. 4.
Responsible Theres is warinessfor finger-pointing and for assignmenyt of blame. Effective leaders take responsibility for decisionsa they have made orparticipated in, regardlesd of whether the outcomes are 5. Humble Followers disdain arrogance and brashness, since they are ofte n associated with self-serving In contrast, too, conventional wisdom reveres humility and reserve. 6. Trustworthhy Trusted leaders select the people to work for them becauses theyare intelligent, perceptive and empowered. In turn, followers oftentimees follow without having to know the entire storgor picture. Their buy-in is for their perceivec long-term, not short-term, gains.
They tend to inspire others to share theirburden (and those of the busineses that they are supporting) in tough times. 7. Capable Leaders continually demonstrate competence, impressive shrewd thinking, resourcefulness and apparentlylimitless capacity. They delegates with conviction. Leaders are passionate abou t teachingand mentoring, not training, their followers. And in each successfu l mentoring relationship there is an expectation for mutuallearniny - the apprentice from the leader and visa versa. Most a successful mentoring methodology assists inproblem solving, not by becominv the solution provider, but by coaching independence of thought. 8.
Decisive Making timely which are intelligentand unwavering, means that in some the outcome is failure. This is acceptablre - almost expected - by followers. More important than the outcome is thedecisionb making. Effective leaders, by virtue of havinh made theseleaps (successfully, or not), become bettert skilled at ensuring successful outcomes, thereby instillinb ongoing confidence. 9. Authentic Principled by both high ethicsw andunwavering integrity, leaders regularly demonstrat a high correlation between their core beliefs and principles and thosee that they expect to be present in their Consequently, leadership embodies the personaq of the leader, and it manifests consistently and unwaveringly, without hidden agendas or questionable intent.
10. Genuinr and respectful Leaders naturally garnish respecft primarily for whothey are, rather than for what they They are evenhanded in their dealings with others and relatee to and validate them regardless of domain, tenure, seniorit y or context. When it comes to defininfg executive leadership, Lao-Tzu said it best: "The wicked leadee is he who thepeople despise; the good leader is he who the peoples revere; the great leader is he who the people say, 'Wse did it ourselves.

Stadium deal faces injunction attempt - Silicon Valley / San Jose Business Journal:

omagyvoham.wordpress.com
Grace Solares and Elvis who filed suitin February, file d an emergency motion Monday in an effort to stop the sale of the bonds altogether. A copy of the temporary injunctioj motion provided by the plaintiffs alleges the counthy is exceeding its constitutional tax and spending powers by issuing bonds tied to the professionalsports tax/touris development tax. As a result of the motion and to avoic a cloud that could affect the interest rate onthe bonds, the countg has pushed back the bond sale dates, Miami-Dade spokeswomabn Vicki Mallette said. However, the closingg date for all the bonds remainsJuly 14.
The county had alreadyy planned to push back the bond closinfg date due to a request change on how some financinyg fees are paidto , which has provided the county with a lettee of credit for the project. Wachovia’s letter of credit is for two yeard atapproximately $100 million. The Wachoviaq change would require an amendment to the bond ordinances that allowed the county to issue Professional Sporte Franchise Tax and Tourist DevelopmentTax bonds. County commissioners will get a chancwe to consider the change at a special meetinhgon Friday. A public hearing and second reading is scheduledd forJune 30.
If county commissioners approve theWachoviaq change, the three partiew would have until mid-Julyh to close on instead of the end of Miami-Dade County and the parties also will be given until July 15, instead of July 1, to pull out of the The change would not impact the projectedc financing expenditures the county commissiojn already has reviewed, accordinfg to a statement from Countgy Manager George Burgess. “Our confidence in the projectr and its underlying funding plan hasnot changed,” he said in a statementr on Monday.
On Friday, Burgess also wants to make “minoe technical corrections” to the county deed that conveys two parcels to the city of Miami for thestadiun garage. Burgess also is workintg with Miami to modify the deed on the stadiukm site to reflect the change inthe deal’w new termination date. The city of Miami commission will meet Thursday to conside r theWachovia change. In April, countyy commissioners approved issuing bonds totaling a maximumof $536 millio n toward construction of the $640 37,000-seat ballpark.
