Weekly Reflection 6.0

I struggled with a little with this week's chapter.  I get along great with all of my bosses---I tend to use "their" techniques with my relationship with my employees--open and honest.  On the outside, it may look like I "suck up" to get ahead.  My boss is extremely transparent with me, my department and my strategic goals--I pass that same transparency to my team.

I don't think I "suck up"---I network!  I surround myself with the people that I want to be like--see how they do it and work towards my goals with the same drive.  

I'm going to school--you have no idea how long I've thought about it...surrounding myself around people in academia or those that have degrees, made me WANT it.  It's a lot more than reading text-books, it's all about networking.

I am always brutally honest with my questionnaires---I included two copies of this weeks--one with the relationship with my leader and one for my follower.

I'm not where I am to "make friends".  I am here for the greater good of not only the company(ies) I manage, but to develop myself to become the best I personally can be (yup---Army Brat here) :-)
