Each and every one of you is currently in a pivotal moment. You just might not know it. Is your business languishing in the face of an unprecedented level of challenge from a particularly fierce competitor? Are you being forced to continually do more with less, pushing you beyond the brink of effectiveness? Perhaps your friends and family are quietly suffering because you are simply working too much, or you are not present enough when you are with them.

Command and control is a leadership style that is in many ways our default leadership position. It’s very human. Leadership that serves is far more demanding of a leader. The demands drive us back into our old styles of leadership. It’s the daily grind that derails our best intentions. Cheryl Bachelder became the CEO of the ailing Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen in 2007.

Guest post from S. Chris Edmonds: I believe we are all leaders in our families, communities, and workplaces. “But wait,” you say, “I’m not a formal leader in my organization.” That may be - but it doesn’t mean that you’re not a powerful influencer. The reality is you are - we all are - in daily conversations with others. Our conversations with others might have neutral impact.

Nothing limits leaders more than believing they can succeed without others. Superiority, masquerading as self-confidence, makes leaders look down on others. Marginalizing people limits their potential and yours.

And why do others often fail to be effective, or as successful as they should be? In their book, Maximum Success: Changing the Twelve Behavior Patterns That Keep You From Getting Ahead , James Waldroop and Timothy Butler identify twelve behavior patterns--what they call "Achilles' heels" — that can harm, or seriously hinder, a person's career development.

The best book from which to find leadership principles is the Bible. I love, for example, learning from leaders like Abraham, Moses, Joseph, Jacob, Nehemiah — and I could keep going. Of course, the greatest leader of the Bible — and life — is Jesus. And, I love reading about King David. From his time in the wilderness and serving as king, good and bad, we learn a great deal about leadership and what is required to successfully lead by observing David.

This morning I read an encouraging and thought provoking article in the San Jose Mercury news about two local companies working to address the pay gap between male and female employees in Silicon Valley. Women only earn $.84 for every dollar a man earns, which equates to $214 a month. Reddit will no longer negotiate with new hires. Men tend to negotiate better than women, which is one source of inequality.

Do you have a crier on your team? You know, the one with tissue-thin skin who expresses frustration, sadness, or worry through tears. Or maybe you have a screamer, a table pounder who is aggressively invested in every decision. These kinds of emotional outbursts are not just uncomfortable; they can hijack your team, stalling productivity and limiting innovation.

Babo Schokker. You’ve got an idea for a new product line, a way to revamp your inventory management system, or a piece of equipment that will make your work easier. But before you spend the company’s hard-earned money, you’ve got to prove to your company’s leaders that it’s worth the investment. You’ll likely be asked to show that the return on the investment will be better than your company’s cost of capital.

Back in the Middle Ages when I was still with Fortune magazine, we had Warren Buffet in for an editorial lunch. With characteristic charming Midwestern self-effacement, the Great Investor waxed happy about a recent acquisition, the Buffalo Evening News. He loved the fact that it was the only player in what had become essentially a one-newspaper town. “Gee, Warren,” I had the temerity to say to my fellow Nebraskan, “You don’t seem to like competition much.” “I

America loves small businesses. A 2010 poll by The Pew Research Center found that the public had a more positive view of them than any other institution in the country – they beat out both churches and universities, for instance, as well as tech companies. As Janet Yellen pointed out in a speech last year, “the opportunity to build a business has long been an important part of the American Dream.” Governors, mayors and presidential candidates are therefore eager to declare thei

In a recent conversation we had, a leader described his experience: Q: What do you do to prepare when you have tough feedback to deliver to a subordinate? A: I am super focused. I keep telling myself “be honest, and be totally direct.” Q:Is it easy to be totally direct and honest with another person about their performance?

We often use mental shortcuts (heuristics) to make decisions. There is simply too much information coming at us from all directions, and too many decisions that we need to make from moment to moment, to think every single one through a long and detailed analysis. While this can sometimes backfire, in many cases intuition is a perfectly fine shortcut.
