How do you lead and manage?

This is written for leaders and managers who are passionately committed to improving their abilities. It introduces a process to help you on your journey.
The book takes you through a fun and beneficial process to write your own ‘How I Lead and Manage’ document. A special web page¹ (no fee), along with this book, guides you, at your own pace, in a simple, step-by-step process. The output is your own treatise² of leadership.
Your organization’s performance will improve. Your relationships and interactions will be more effective. New levels of respect and trust will be gained. You’ll establish a more defined leading and managing system allowing your organization to thrive.
It’s not about learning new things. You already know significantly more about leading and managing than you apply. This process helps you organize what you already know so you apply your knowledge more effectively.
Your treatise² becomes the solid foundation you add upon to continue clarifying and refining how you lead and manage. Your new understandings and insights about yourself and leadership will improve your life.
This will inspire those around you to join in the same journey. Collaborating with others helps everyone. Enjoy!

If you and your leading & managing team want to improve, creating your documents should be a part of your plan and process.

We look forward to helping you and your organization be all you want to be!

Expected Results:

Working to make the How You Lead and Manage document better over time is a good way to demonstrate your commitment to your personal development and organization's performance. Your Key Performance Metrics (KPMs) will get better if you improve the environment within which they are created. Improving the environment entails improving the foundation upon which the environment is built. A key strength of the foundation is the quality of its organized leading and managing framework.

When an organization uses the Zynity Leadership™ online tools and concepts, the ratings for each of these questions will increase quarter over quarter. The goal is to get the ratings nearer 10 for all respondents in the company. This will indicate that a Top-Level leading and managing framework is in place and having a significant impact. Organizations that ‘Do’ this will have a decided advantage.

Do it together. Get you and your team ‘working together better’ as you build your own How You Lead and Manage documents along with the framework. It can all be done in only one hour or less each week. You’ll notice many worthwhile changes within a short time. All will be motivated by the ongoing improvements to continue evolving. In a few months you’ll be a whole new team. The outcomes will quickly justify the process and complaints will be few.
