One model doesn't work across the entire enterprise since different business units can have widely divergent needs.  System architecture planning is different from security operations, time-frames and skill-sets impact the options for management styles.

I do agree with the Situational. You can't have a static approach but you should be flexible enough to change when needed also for just a while.

My strongest skill is that I can and I'm willing to adapt to every single person I lead. They all have different leadership needs. We are the ones who need to find the way that works with them and not the other way around.
On the other hand, it is also our responsibility as leaders to improve our skills, so we can indeed serve the organisation as intended.

I am new to managing an inside sales organization (chemical manufacturing B2B). I would like to offer some training on inside selling skills to a team of 12 (techniques, best practices). I am wondering if anyone would be interested in sharing their perspectives or if you have had success with a third-party training company. 

I’m exploring combining Product Development and Pricing/Underwriting functions into a single leadership role, specifically in the Retirement space. Historically we have kept the roles separate. Does anyone have any experience combining these two job functions into a single role?

What do you do to recover quickly from early missteps in a new role? How can you keep initial mistakes from coloring perceptions when you’re still trying to establish your reputation at a new organization?
