Let's Grow Leaders

JANUARY 20, 2016

My husband looked at me in bewilderment as I explained why I couldn’t buy that “perfectly good” house in the neighborhood with the great schools, close to his work, UMD where I teach, BWI airport, our church, and our gym. “I love the house. It’s a great community. But I just can’t trust that builder. If they hire someone LIKE HER as their sales manager, I question who’s running the place.

By Brody Clemmer. Chief Innovation Officer, N2Growth. Leadership is a hot topic today and will continue to be for a while. I don’t want to tell you the things that you already know, but make you think about the things you don’t. Let’s stop discussing trends, predictions, and statistics, and let’s focus on people. The individuals that will shape the next generation of leadership are not a group of millennials, they are a group of leaders just as the generation before them, and the many generati

O rganizations are often broken down into different departments. Your church or business may have a technology department, financial department, outreach/marketing department, and more. They’re all vying for the same thing. To grow the organization. Image via Creative Commons. While the goal of each department may be to grow the organization, that goal is frequently hindered by the attitudes held within each department.

And it's happened before, too -- just think back to the 2007-2009 financial crisis. By Elliott Wave International. On Wednesday (Jan. 13) CNBC reported that, "Almost $3.2 trillion has been wiped off the value of stocks around the world since the start of 2016, according to calculations by a top market analyst. U.S. stocks are now off $1.77 trillion, while overseas stocks are down $1.4 trillion.".

Life’s great as a consultant when you’re bustling through a project. Until the project’s done. Then you pop your head up and life’s rough while you’re hustling to get another project. Until you land one. Then you’re back to bustling… …and on it goes. Hustle and bustle. Feast and famine. Grins and grimaces. The bane of independent consultants’ existence.

One of the best things a leader can do is ask the right questions. I love to say to our team, “I only know what I know.” The leader can often be the last to know where there is a problem or what others are thinking, so asking questions is critical to good leadership. I love this quote from Jack Welch: “When you’re a contributor you try to have all the answers.

jennifer Maravillas FOR HBR. The first thing most of us do when working with people from a new culture is to learn about differences. And there are very sensible reasons to do so. It helps you avoid cultural faux pas. For example, if your Korean employee will likely be embarrassed if you praise him in public, it would be good to know that ahead of time so you can anticipate his reaction and alter your own behavior plan.

Problems at work take many forms, but they are alike in one way: they tend to be repetitive. No one complains because their boss was angry one time or a colleague failed to pitch in once. Almost all the offenders who come to the attention of HR are repeat offenders. And boring meetings tend to be boring in the same way week after week. Business leaders have come to me with steam pouring from their ears and fire shooting from their eyes as they describe the feeling of all-too-familiar work proble
