Real Leverage by Robin J Elliott
People spend a lot of time creating “Sales Scripts” or “Pitches” or “Chassis Plans” to use like a cookie cutter when selling ideas, concepts, products, or services. And of course, they do work. Except when they don’t, and sometimes, they won’t. Because when you’re trying to sell me vitamins, you’re not going to get anywhere. Or tools. Or many other things in which I have no interest. In fact, if you sell tools, you will never sell me any. Guaranteed. So how can you benefit from spending your valuable time with me? How about the six thousand people that I could refer to you? Would that be more valuable to you than a quick buck sale?
PROJECT MANAGEMENT METHODOLOGY
Every Professional Services organization should have a Project Management Methodology that is used by their staff, in partnership with their clients, to manage all project activities for the client organization. This methodology SHOULD NOT advocate cookie cutter solutions.

The methodology SHOULD, however, provide a context within which each project will be managed. It also establishes minimum documentation and reporting requirements, which are scaled to the size and complexity of the project.

Leading Leaders
Dr. Paul Hersey probably best described the phenomenon of leading other leaders in his work on Situational Leadership. Dr. Hersey clearly identified different skill sets related to managing and leading people based on their skill set and based on the particular leadership situation. His groundbreaking work identified some of the possible disconnects when leaders utilize the same skill set to manage leaders as they do when they supervise entry level workers. In his model, when leading leaders, you can no longer be directive, use a cookie cutter approach and overly define the process details and steps.
