Query:
You've Been Promoted to Manager? Congrats - Now Master the Job
with These Five Leadership Traits.
DEK: Scratch a manager and you'll find a healthy dose of
confidence and ambition. But those traits alone won't get you
far in your first management post if you can't lead employees.
That's why an assessment of five key management traits (i.e. the
ability to pay attention, be open-minded, be flexible, be fair,
and be respectful) needs to be done before day one on the job.
We need these queries answered for the story:
1. What traits should brand new managers bring to the table upon
their first management post? What attributes work best and why
for new managers?
2. What's the best message a new manager can convey to staffers
on day one of a new management post? And why?
3. What mistakes should new managers avoid when taking a new
leadership role?
4. What leadership traits are most valuable for the long haul
and why?
5. Can you provide specific examples of quality leadership
traits from notable managers (i.e., Bill Gates, Henry Ford, Mary
Barra at GM, etc.
Requirements:
management experts, business experts, team leadership experts,
persuasion experts, CEO's, business owners, actual new managers

STORY: The Damage Done: Dealing with Narcissists in the
Workplace. \
SUMMARY: A new study from the University of California reveals
both the short-term and long-term damage done by narcissistic
employees - and especially narcissistic managers. The biggest
problem is that narcissistic managers truly believe they are
transformational and not innately selfish and egotistical.
We need these queries answered for the story:
1. What is workplace narcissism? How does it show up and what
does it look like?
2. How big a problem is narcissists on the job?
3. What if the team leader/manager shows narcissistic
tendencies? What are the signs and red flags?
4. How can management properly deal with a narcissistic staffer
or manager in the workplace? What are the best tips and
strategies?
5. What is a workplace narcissist refuses to change? What are
management options at that point?
6. Any specific examples of workplace narcissism that you've
witnessed? How was it handled and what was the outcome?
Thanks in advance.
Requirements:
Workplace experts, management experts, HR experts, mental health
and wellness experts, CEO's, small business owners, actual
staffers or managers who have dealt with a narcissist on the job.
