Push or Pull
I have been thinking about the various blogs on leadership lately, and it strikes me that there is a difference of opinion amongst our community on whether employee performance is best improved by pushing or pulling. I believe the best leaders incorporate both into their style.

The Heart of Business Strategy: 48 Things That Matter
We usually think of business strategy as some sort of aspirational market positioning statement. Doubtless that's part of it.

OHS Risk Management and Corporate Governance
In New South Wales, an unauthorised work procedure escaped the attention of management and eventually led to the death of two workers. The unauthorised procedure had been introduced by a supervisor, employed into the business, who had used it in his previous work. It was handed down from the supervisor to other employees.

Repeatedly, we see supervisor effectiveness as one of the top reasons employees leave an organization. The cost of either an employee loss or just a loss in productivity from supervisor ineffectiveness could be very painful to the bottomline. So, if this statistic is true, do we really want 20% of our workforce to be dissatisfied with our managers simply because they do not have regular performance reviews? If not, then we need to provide managers with techniques and tools to make performance reviews less painful and more beneficial.
