This post recently appeared in SmartBlog on Leadership : Before you can earn the right to lead others, you need to “manage” yourself. I know I’m not the first to use that phrase. Steven Covey wrote about it , and it’s taught in our leadership program at the University of New Hampshire. It’s more than just another nice, pithy little leadership motto.

The following is a guest piece by author Sean Glaze. If you’re like most team leaders, you go into your team’s season or project or quarterly sales period with a goal. And if you’re like most leaders, you find yourself frustrated at some point in that process because you struggle to get the buy-in or create the cohesiveness and commitment that would inspire your team to meet the goals that were set.

Guest article by Marcella Bremer. How are you? Busy? Relaxed? Energized? Tired? I notice a pattern in modern life. I’m going too fast and packing too much in my days. I’m hunting for stimuli – or at least I’m distracted by them. I notice restlessness when I’m already tired. I see most people around me living by schedules that don’t leave space to slow down and to be mindfully aware of what really happens.

Lead from Within

SEPTEMBER 29, 2015

As a coach, I spend a lot of time listening to leaders. Many of the things I hear probably wouldn’t be said to anyone else. But behind the scenes it is hard for leaders—it takes a lot of courage to lead, but most of us take it for granted. Aristotle called courage the first virtue, because it makes all of the other virtues possible. And in my line of work as a coach I believe he is right; if you are courageous it really makes all that you do as a leader have merit.

Since one of the most powerful drivers of social media adoption is leader participation, the “social behaviors” of leaders—blogging, Yammer and Chatter dialogue, responding to comments on videos and intranet articles, etc.—can go a long way towards building and expanding the company’s online community. Authenticity is key. Leaders may be busy—sometimes too busy to manage social interactions on their own—but employees can tell the difference between the voice of a leader and a ghostwriter.

Time tracking is a productivity tool which can get a bad rap. For employees, being forced to account for what they do with their time all day can feel like they are being micromanaged or thought of as untrustworthy. For project managers or execs already burdened with administrative tasks, time tracking can represent just another tedious thing they have to do.

I found this advise from Ken Goldstein (from his new book, Endless Encores ) particularly helpful. He says: "You have to be innovating all the time. The only sure path to a limited repertoire is not to push yourself beyond the familiar. Your range is only gated by your courage to pursue the unknown, despite the doubters who relish the false safety of narrowing your path.

There is so much stress involved in hiring the right person for the team. I am a very strategic person. This is especially true when hiring new people to our team. It’s one of the few areas I have such a strong voice in how it’s done and I am slow to add people. Still, I’ve made plenty of mistakes. If you get stressed about hiring the right person I have a suggestion which may help.

As new managers fill vacancies created by retiring Boomers, how do their skills compare with the seasoned older managers they replace? Naturally, our assumption was that veteran managers would be more effective on almost every front. To test this out, we explored the data we’ve accumulated on more than 65,000 leaders. We focused on managers 30 years of age and younger (455 leaders) and compared them to leaders over 45 years of age (4,298) to determine the distinguishing characteristics of

Health plans, employers, and state governments increasingly expect Americans to use information about pricing when making health care decisions. After all, the more consumers know about pricing, the better they can budget for out-of-pocket expenses and for routine costs related to chronic conditions, the more intelligently they can choose among providers, and the more easily they can bring pricing information directly into conversations with those providers.
