“If I bring my SME along to the meeting, my boss will think I don’t know what I’m doing.” “She’s a little rough around the edges, she’s not ready for that kind of exposure.” “Not all exposure is good exposure, what if he says something stupid?” These are just a few of the reasons managers give for keeping their employees in the background doing the heavy lifting, while they present the results and negotiate the political landscape.

If there is one book that has influenced my business thinking the most, it is Peter Senge’s “ The Fifth Discipline – The Art and Practice of Learning Organization ” and I have referred to it many times over past years on this blog. Written in 1990, the insights contained in this book are even more relevant today when the rate of change has only accelerated – probably a reason why HBR identified this book as one of the seminal management books of the previous 75 years.

A ndy Stanley once said: Leadership is a stewardship, it’s temporary, and you’re accountable. The last part of this quote always catches me. Andy Stanley tells us that we’re accountable for our leadership. And it’s true. Image by Ben Sutherland. We’ll be called out on whether or not we led the best we could. People will watch to see how we handle the power (and stress) of leadership.

When was the last time someone came to you with a problem? Did you solve it for them? If so, you may have missed out on a development opportunity – both for that person and yourself. If you’re looking for problems to solve, you’ll find them everywhere. New managers want to pick up the slack. Department leaders can find it easier deal with problems themselves than let others handle them.

This is a great quote by John Wooden, one of the most loved and respected coaches of all time. Let’s think about it. How does it apply to triggers? If every day were our masterpiece, we would undoubtedly be very aware of our environment. As masters of our days, what if we could control our environment so it triggered our most desired behavior? This would mean that instead of blocking us from our goals, the environment would propel us toward them.

During a long walk on Saturday, I was listening to Krista Tippet’s podcast, On Being. In this episode, she was moderating a panel discussion on The Evolution of Medicine with Mark Hyman , James Gordon and Penny George. If you are interested in or concerned about the health and well-being of yourself and those you care about, I strongly recommend listening to the conversation.

From the time most of us were young, we have been aware of pollution; we’ve seen public service announcements and news stories about the pollution of the air and the water.

This phrase popped in my head the other day: everyday leadership. You can demonstrate personal leadership without the title. It’s easy to underestimate the way we lead our own lives or inspire others. A seemingly small gesture of support or a word of encouragement can make such a difference. I asked my community of colleagues at the Lead Change Group what they do, or aspire to do, in daily life that displays everyday leadership.

When I talk with people about the holidays I generally get one of two reactions — “Love them! Can’t wait!” or “Ugh…Yes, the holidays, I’m exhausted already.”. Usually the response leans a bit heavier on the second reaction. Why? A lot happens during the holidays: parties, shopping, planning (so much planning), trying to wrap up the end of the year, holiday gift lists from our wee ones that have no bounds, being with the pain of loved ones that are no longer with us, personal changes, family conf

Employee conflict is unavoidable in any office environment, this is a fact. Even the most functional of teams will sometimes disagree or experience infighting, which can be difficult to manage. Example : Hotel Housekeeping Staff Managers are approaching employees on their lunch break to assign tasks, discuss changes and give directions. Workers object to this (“Lunch is my time, I’m off the clock”).

Christmas is a wonderful time of the year. As the song goes, “ it’s the most wonderful time of the year “ But, for some people, Christmas can be a miserable time. Many have lost a loved one, suffered the end of a significant relationship, or even had a severe personal loss of income or health.

My wife Eleanor and I have tried everything.

Most of us spend a lot of time at work. Yet a lot of people feel their jobs are not as fulfilling or engaging as they could be. A 2014 Gallup survey of U.S. workers found that less than one-third were engaged in their jobs, 51% said they were “not engaged,” and 17.5% said they were “actively disengaged.” Unfortunately, the data from global surveys is quite similar.
