Let's Grow Leaders

Leadership development is not just for grown-ups. If you’ve been with me for a while you know how passionate I am about this. Most of us take a deliberate approach to developing other skills in our kids early on: we teach them to swim, to ride a bike, to read, and read music, as early as we can. Leadership development should be no different. The earlier we can ingrain these skills, the more natural they will feel.

I overheard a conversation at a cafe. One man was complaining to another how a dating relationship had fallen apart. He said, “I was trying to be mature about it but then she said _, and I told her off. I mean, what did she expect?”. It sounded as if he thought her reaction gave him permission to go off. My question is, “What do you expect of yourself?”.

E ntitlement is an insidious disease. Slowly, it creeps in and, before you know it, you feel you deserve the world, and more. Entitlement tells us that we have a right to something. Whether that’s our leadership position, some kind of possession, or privilege. Image via Creative Commons. We struggle with this because we’ve been conditioned to want more and better.

I have been spending the last few days in my Canyon Hideaway at the Four Corners. My main heat source in this small house tugged against the Red Rocks is a wood stove. Every time I get here, I’m having problems starting the fire and keeping it going. For me it is always a threshold to cross to a slower pace living. Clearly I’m lacking patience the first few days.

Eric Budd’s presentation, Is There Hope…?, at our 2015 annual conference. In Eric’s presentation he frequently asked the attendees to think and discuss or write down their ideas related to the ideas he was presenting.

All of us aspire to work for leaders who truly value our input. We’re looking for a “speak-up culture”—the kind of workplace where we feel welcome and included, free to express our views and opinions, and confident that our ideas will be heard and recognized.

Consumers haven’t always shopped in mega-malls, retail centers, and supermarkets. Before everything became available in a single place, many people had the staples that they used on a regular basis — eggs, milk, meat — delivered routinely to their homes by specialty purveyors. Big box retailers did away with this model decades ago, the result of their lower-cost real estate, which enabled both better pricing and greater selection.
