In our leadership development training, we like to start out by asking people to list as many characteristics as possible about their former leaders that they both abhorred and adored. This tends to start out as a fun exercise, but takes a more serious turn as people then start to look at themselves and their own leadership skills and behaviors. Ten Leadership Traits That People Adore.

In 2014 I wrote a blog post of “The 40 Best Leadership Quotes.” I find it fascinating that with almost 20,000 views, over 1600 social shares, and many comments, no one seems to have noticed that 85% of the quotes are by women. This percentage is significant because most of the “best leadership quotes” lists include less than 10% women. I created my list after discovering this gross imbalance while doing an Internet search for a pithy leadership quote.

Lead from Within

As a leadership coach and business consultant I am often asked, “Where are the leaders that we can admire?”. In leadership and other areas, it’s human nature to look for a role model, someone to emulate. Most of the time that means looking up. Who has what I want? Who has the biggest office, the best title, the most money? But the search should stop.

When we work with firms to shore up their ability to execute strategy, one of the things that must often take place is a shift in management style. This is a challenge for those executives and leaders who have fixed ideas about how to get others to do their work. They often feel that changing their style will somehow make them look weak if they are currently authoritarian, or mean if they are used to being “everyone’s sweetheart.”.

A consultant asked me the following question: I’ve heard you say that you find the best consultants in the world for your corporate clients. Do you actually say that to clients? Is it over the top for me to say, “I am the best consultant on the planet at doing XYZ?” What advice would you give this consultant? At what point is tooting your own horn valuable, expected self-promotion, and at what point is it harmful self-aggrandizing?

I’ve always valued hard work and usually resented lazy workers. There. I said it. I have a bias against laziness. I started working when I was 12 years old in a grocery store. I worked hard, gained the recognition of my managers, and was rewarded with all the hours I wanted to work. The store was a revolving door of workers it seemed. I worked with some much older than me who didn’t last long, because they really didn’t want to work.

I imagine for some of you, your answer would be the personal computer and all the technological marvels that now make up our digital world. For others, I could imagine hearing the invention of the light bulb being our greatest invention. The interesting thing about this question is that there’s no right answer and that, if anything, it reveals more about the respondent and their per

During a recent stay at the Disney Swan hotel in Florida, I confess I did something in the bathroom I have done many times before. I used too many towels and carelessly left them on the floor. It’s not something I’ve thought much about before: I leave the hotel and who’s to know? But something struck me as I walked out the door. I would never do this as a guest staying in a place on Airbnb.
