© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2008
What makes a good manager? Creativity, competence, knowledge, and charisma are just a few of the many characteristics we hear in response to this question. Managers who perform badly are missing at least some of those. They procrastinate and tend to keep themselves away from everything that might be threatening to their position. At least in their minds. Let us not forget that procrastinating can be an extremely powerful tactic. Mostly used by politicians and often seen in sports like cycling.1

Do you think they are procrastinating too much?
There are a lot of news that Federal banks have pumped money in the stock market; that Countrywide Financial is using their entire credit line of US $11.5 Billion; you know that something is up when Hollywood studios can’t get financing for their next movies, but Dr. Poole does not see any impact.Do you believe him?
Does that make a good leader or manager?Wouldn’t it be a sign of true leadership to step in NOW and ensure that things turn to the better?
