Posted in Leadership Development I’ve spent the last 3 years in and around leadership development online. I have also spent the last 30 years learning about leadership development (and learning in general). After numerous mistakes, and before several more, some things have become obvious to me because of my time online. Leadership development is changing quickly.

What is leadership all about? What does it take to be a leader in today’s world? These are questions which I found myself pondering over the last few days after noticing a trend lately regarding how some people are choosing to define the traits of a successful leader. Although I’ve written about the debate regarding whether leadership should be viewed as either an art or a science , this current train of thought has surfaced in part from my dismay at seeing what others are pointing o

The newest report released by Catalyst, titled The Myth of the Ideal Worker: Does Doing All the Right Things Really Get Women Ahead? , has been released… and it’s disheartening. The goal of the report was to research typical myths involving women’s career development and their chances of being promoted. As a woman who generally feels empowered and that I am capable of doing anything I put my mind to, the statistics shared in this report, well, downright anger me.

I’ve been doing a lot of research on leadership and creative teams recently. One of the things that resonated with me most during this research was a quote by Linus Pauling that doesn’t actually have much to do with leading creatives. Pauling said, “The best way to get a good ideas is to get a lot of ideas. Pauling is the only person to have one two unshared Nobel Prizes, so I’d imagine he knows a bit about good ideas and using creativity.

The larger role of responsibility or the higher position you hold in an organization, the more you must discipline and free yourself for future-tense thinking.

The initial reaction to the iPhone 4S was cooler than Apple might have hoped. Expectations had been hyped to such a point that people were looking for a leap forward equivalent to the first iPhone. When they couldn't immediately see it, many were disappointed. But that leap was there — it's just not one that is easily seen. Siri, the new iPhone's voice-control software , is going to have as big an impact as that first iPhone did.

One of the most common complaints I hear from managers is, "I want to re-energize our team. We used to be cohesive and enjoy working together. Now everyone is focused on their own piece, and we're so busy we hardly have time to talk with each other anymore.". I've experienced this myself.
