In my blog of two weeks ago, entitled The Leadership Love-In I reiterated the never ending need for better leadership. I also extended kudos to a handful of passionate leadership bloggers who I consider to be experts in their field (links listed below). Harbaugh and McCarthy were having great seasons.

In competition for blog attention today is an article that talks about the high rate of boss bullying on US leadership teams. Likewise, when US business adopts the concept that workers (all workers) can actually self-actualize within the work they perform – leadership takes on a higher meaning. Because I don’t believe it.

Promotion to a leadership role changes all that. In fact, a promotion to a leadership role demands the establishment of a professional distance between the leader and those who work under his or her supervision if it is going to be effective. With promotion to a leadership role comes a change in the balance of power.

I hope that you will find time to be introspective and reflect on your leadership; my guess is that is what will propel you ahead of the rest. Best wishes.

So, find a mentor, hire a coach, take a 360, read some self-development or leadership books. The good news is that I’m finding that many companies are making small strides in encouraging their leadership to take care of themselves. And whe leadership models it, perhaps it will catch on with others too. Attend a retreat.
