Leadership Friday

Friday, the end of the work week for many but not all of us. At some companies it is casual day a time to dresss down instead of business casual. Do you change the way you lead on Friday?

Today's blog is about your leadership perspective on Fridays. I am not advocating you change your leadership style or how you lead just because it it Friday. It is possible to take care of some things on Friday that you might not during the other days of the week. Make Friday your clean house day. Head into the weekend with some loose ends completed.

Perspective is how you see things. Each leader may see things differently and may make certain tasks more important than other tasks. What I would like to give you in this blog are some things you can do on a Friday that will help make the rest of your leadership week easier.

• Clean up your email box – Delete unnecessary emails and answer those that need attention.
• Finish a project – Set your completion dates on projects for a Friday.
• Hold update meetings – Hold your update meetings for your employees so they can update you on the week and focus on the next week.
• To do list – Make a to-do list for the upcoming week. This way you can hit the ground running on Monday.
• Update your calendar – Look at your calendar for the next week and make sure ever thing is set. Follow-up – Follow-up with any one you have been working with on projects.

Do these things on a Friday and you will find you won’t be worried about work over the weekend. You will also be set for Monday.
