Being an effective leader of people and projects can
often come down to having a good nose... Being able to
sense that something just doesn't smell quite right!
Learning to develop your ability to "sniff out problems" or "spot
the tells"--those indications there are issues needing
attention--is a key leadership skill developed through years of
experience.
It's also a theme of Susan Scott's new book released
just this week entitled Fierce Leadership: A Bold Alternative to the Worst
"Best" Practices of Business Today. I'm an enthusiastic admirer
of Susan's book Fierce Conversations: Achieving Success at Work and
in Life One Conversation at a Time and had the opportunity to
catch up with Susan during this busy week of launching her new best
seller.
