Our society revels in success stories. The rags to riches, Horatio Alger stories are inspirational for all of us. But being too ambitious can be seen as a negative by your followers. Remember there are two ways to get to the top. First, I am sorry to say, you can get there by climbing over people. Most of us know a few people who have chosen that approach. However, dedicated leaders know that there is an alternative route to the top. They know you can also get there by being lifted up by people. I ask, which of the two approaches has the firmer foundation?

It’s a fair question. One that organizational leaders in a broad range of industries are asking these days.

Recently, I had the opportunity to talk with Bill Adelman, General Manager at Hopkins County Coal, a division of Alliance Resource Partners, for his views on why a commitment to training supervisors and managers is so critical in his industry these days. 

Bill also shares the qualities to look for in a supervisory candidate, the biggest mistake supervisors often make and the one characteristic that makes supervisors and managers excel.

Great advice from someone on the front lines of leadership! Watch Bill Adelman here.
