Leadership: Five 'Absolutes' for Getting High Performance
There are many sources to help us learn and improve. A few that I have found very helpful include participating in conferences like the In-plant Printing and Mailing Association (IPMA) conference; reading trade journals like In-Plant Graphics; being involved in professional and trade organizations like IPMA, XPLOR and the local Postal Customer Council; reading good books like the one I referenced early in this article; developing relationships and sharing information with peers; and just being on the lookout for new ideas and better ways to do things.
Wes Friesen is a proven leader and developer of high performing teams and has extensive experience in both the corporate and non-profit worlds. A former in-plant manager, he is also an award-winning university instructor and speaker, and is the president of Solomon Training and Development, which provides leadership, management and team building training. His book, Your Team Can Soar! contains 42 valuable lessons that will inspire you, and give you practical pointers to help you—and your team—soar to new heights of performance. Your Team Can Soar! can be ordered from Xulonpress.com/bookstore or wesfriesen.com. Wes can be contacted at wesmfriesen@gmail.com.
