Leading Blog

O NCE AGAIN we see that despite our rhetoric, what we are is reflected in our leaders and leadership. Actions have consequences and continuity of character matters. We need to be “urgently” reflective because too often by the time we find out it’s broken, it’s been broken for a very long time. As technology becomes more disruptive and we see more importance placed on big data and artificial intelligence, what will matter most are those things that make us human – the soft skills.

The Power Of Vulnerability

Joseph Lalonde

No one likes to be seen as weak. Or even vulnerable. We try to hide any sign that we might not be where we need to be. Yet we’re consistently discovering the best way to lead is through our vulnerability. What Is Vulnerability? A lot of us don’t want to show any vulnerabilities. We want people to see us as strong.

Seeing your new team through eyes of understanding

Persuasive Powerhouse

“If one does not understand a person, one tends to regard him as a fool” ~C.G. Jung. Leaders are attuned to the people around them. Sometimes this means that they focus too strongly on the negative in the people they lead. This can be especially perilous when a leader “inherits” a new team through a promotion or is hired into a new position. Everything you enter into may be new; your boss, your peers, your team members, the culture and your responsibilities.

Speaker: Cy Wakeman, M.S., CSP, President, Reality-Based Leadership

Most HR leadership philosophies are grounded in two completely faulty assumptions — “change is hard” and “engagement drives results.” Those beliefs have inspired expensive attempts to keep change from being disruptive to employees.
