Comments on: Not High Enough Priority http://www.managementblog.org/archives/2008/06/06/not-high-enough-priority/ It's not a lesson in learning to be nice to people. Management is about leverage and impact.

I recently spoke with an agent at a Planning firm about how she divides her time during the day. Not surprisingly she gave a similar answer when it came to priorities. She wasn't sure where she should spend most of her time in order to be most effective. One day this same person might get promoted. If she is unsure now, as a regular employee, what are responsibilities are then she will have a much harder time in the future. Leadership starts from the top down but is developed from the bottom up. This quick story is spot on. I recently spoke with an agent at a Planning firm about how she divides her time during the day.
