Good morning Chamber World! It's going to be a GREAT day!
Chamber Executive Ongoing Education Weekly New Idea: Superbosses: How Exceptional Leaders Master the Flow of Talent - By Sydney Finkelstein
A GOOD BOSS HITS HIS GOALS AND LEADS HIS TEAM.
A SUPERBOSS BLOWS AWAY HER GOALS BY BUILDING AN ARMY OF NEW LEADERS.
WHICH WOULD YOU RATHER BE?
What do football coach Bill Walsh, restaurateur Alice Waters, television executive Lorne Michaels, technology CEO Larry Ellison, and fashion pioneer Ralph Lauren have in common? On the surface, not much, other than consistent success in their fields. But below the surface, they share a common approach to finding, nurturing, leading, and even letting go of great people. The way they deal with talent makes them not merely success stories, not merely organization builders, but what Sydney Finkelstein calls superbosses. They've all transformed entire industries.
After ten years of research and more than two hundred interviews, Finkelstein has concluded that superbosses exist in nearly every industry, from the glamorous to the mundane. If you study the top fifty leaders in any field, as many as one-third will have once worked for a superboss.
While superbosses differ in their personal styles, they all focus on identifying promising newcomers, inspiring their best work, and launching them into highly successful careers while also expanding their own networks and building stronger companies. Among the practices that distinguish superbosses:
They Create Master-Apprentice Relationships.
Superbosses customize their coaching to what each protege really needs, and also are constant founts of practical wisdom. Advertising legend Jay Chiat not only worked closely with each of his employees but would sometimes extend their discussions into the night.
They Rely on the Cohort Effect.
Superbosses strongly encourage collegiality even as they simultaneously drive internal competition. Lorne Michaels set up "Saturday Night Live "so that writers and performers are judged by how much of their material actually gets on the air, but they can't get anything on the air without the support of their coworkers.
They Say Good-Bye on Good Terms.
Nobody likes it when great employees quit, but superbosses don't respond with anger or resentment. They know that former direct reports can become highly valuable members of their network, especially as they rise to major new roles elsewhere. Julian Robertson, the billionaire hedge fund manager, continued to work with his former employees who started competing hedge funds, and he often profited by investing in them. --- Publisher notes
Prince William Chamber partnership: 2016 Spring Into Health Fair - Bringing the Community Together to Promote Wellness
 |
| Debbie Jones, Prince William Chamber |
The Spring Into Health Fair will feature over a dozen free health screenings and assessments including mobility, memory, pediatric dentistry and baseline impact concussion screenings. There will be something for the entire family: healthy activity demonstrations, an exhibit hall featuring community resources, free snacks, Triple Play Kids Fitness Zone and a chance to win one of five $100 VISA gift cards!
“We at the Prince William Chamber of Commerce have been focusing more and more of our efforts on partnerships in recent years. The Spring Into Health Fair offers an opportunity to fulfill the mission of the Chamber’s Health and Wellness Council: to promote employee wellness within the workplace by connecting businesses and individuals with preventative measures and services available to improve health and the quality of life. This is a win-win for our area,” said Debbie Jones, President and CEO of the Prince William Chamber of Commerce. She went on to note that healthy families lead to increased likelihood of productivity in the workplace and at school, a key reason why the business community takes an interest in the health of the people of greater Prince William.
Project Mend-A-House is a volunteer-driven organization focusing on neighbors helping neighbors while the Prince William Chamber of Commerce strives to be a partner for an enhanced quality of life for the people of Prince William County and the Cities of Manassas and Manassas Park. Spring Into Health Fair is a joint venture between two community partners leveraging the talents and resources of each for the greater good.
“We are so excited to once again present the Spring Into Health Fair. By partnering with the Chamber we are able to increase the number of people who feel empowered to take control of their health and improve their lives,” said Jennifer Bolles, Executive Director of PMAH. “We are grateful to our sponsors and the healthcare community for their enthusiasm for this event. For the people PMAH serves, health can become an afterthought as they struggle to prioritize pressing issues like home repairs and modifications for disabilities. This event provides a space to come and talk to healthcare providers; to ask questions and develop a plan of action knowing you aren’t going to be charged. Spring Into Health takes some of the fear out of being proactive about wellness.“
A volunteer committee of close to twenty health and senior care providers, including Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center and Novant Health UVA Health System has come together to help plan the event. Jodie Houser, the Project Mend-A-House Community Connections Coordinator is chair of the committee.
Sponsors include Tribute at Heritage Village, Northern Virginia Electric Cooperative (NOVEC) and Fusion Physical Therapy. Additional sponsorships are available. For information on sponsorship or exhibiting opportunities, contact Christine DiModica at cdimodica@pwchamber.org or 571-765-7570.

EMBDC President Bill Hannah: Ingredients in place for vibrant community
 |
| Bill Hannah, EMBDC |
Hannah said he believes potential will carry communities only so far. The secret, he believes, is ultimately building success off that potential.
Hannah, who took took over as head of the EMBDC last May, said he believes in the region's future.
"I believe the future in the region looks good," Hannah said. "In economic development, one of the things that is not good is to be in a community that has perpetual potential. When I first got here, I saw we've got all this potential, but we've got to get past potential and realize some success. I think expectations of our citizens and leadership is to realize a lot more success than we've had."
Hannah said Meridian and Lauderdale County have all the ingredients in place for success.
"We're in a good area that has not been well defined. We have all the attributes we need to be successful," Hannah said. "We have to start with a regionalism approach to take advantage of the relationships we have. That would be the State MDA, the offices of the Gov. and Lt. Gov. and President Pro Tem of the Senate and Speaker Pro Team of the House. We need those relationships in place and we have them in place. We who live here know how good it is to live here. We just have to package it." Read more: Meridian Star
