If you hear any version of these statements on a regular basis, you may be a Chief Encouragement Officer. “I need to hang around you more often.”. “You are the most positive person.”. “You encourage my heart.”. Empowerment, hope, encouragement – all connected. Empowerment is one of my favorite topics. Recently I realized that there are some particularly important requirements to feel empowered.

Marcia complained over coffee, “I avoid the team meetings whenever I can. They take way too long and drive me crazy.

When I was young the song “ Que sera sera ” (meaning, “what will be, will be”) was a popular and catchy tune that my mother sang to us as children. It speaks of not worrying about the future and instead letting what happens, happen. As I’ve grown up and know the trials that leaders go through with ongoing organizational change, I’ve come to appreciate the power of “what can be” in envisioning a better future.

Most servant leaders pride themselves on being leaders who—well, serve. And most do. They serve people with compassion, empathy, listening, and healing. Richard is an excellent leader and a smart man. I’ve been coaching him for years. but recently he told me he felt he was failing as a leader. I was seriously shocked to hear him say this, because I know him, and as a leader he is one of those people you automatically admire.

The Psalmist said, “I have hidden your word in my heart so I might not sin against you.” God’s Word can be a protection for our heart and soul. It can teach us, convict us, and challenge us. The same is true for leaders. The best leadership book is the Bible. If you want to be a great, Biblical leader, consider memorizing these verses: Luke 6:31 Do to others as you would like them to do to you.

For years many of my clients have struggled to sit down and get to work when they really, really don’t want to (which is most of the time). Most are managers, entrepreneurs or in sales and they have the option of subtly putting things off and procrastinating, and often the urge not to work and surf online instead can be powerfully strong. I call that MASSIVE PROCRASTINATION.

From The New York Public Library. There’s a great irony when you consider that the “Big Three” cities for entrepreneurship — San Francisco/San Jose, Boston, and New York — are some of the most difficult places in the U.S. to live on the sort of shoestring budget that startups demand. Nonetheless, they are home to “about half the VC firms and an equal percentage of the U.S.

Few managers will admit to actively avoiding difficult conversations with colleagues. But I’ve noticed that while many speak about the importance of candor for getting things done, managers often sidestep or steer clear of emotionally charged situations by pretending they don’t exist, delaying the day of reckoning, or bringing in sympathetic third parties.

Companies are not squarely to blame for the anger and frustration that have so warped this presidential primary season. Nor are they entirely innocent. The growing economic inequality that polarizes U.S. politics is not merely the inevitable result of our free-market system; it is also a consequence of the choices our business leaders make. And those choices have contributed to the anti-business attitude that both parties have embraced.

When it comes to understanding the pace of global digital evolution , the digital growth of developed countries usually has little to tell us about the digital future of developing ones.

It was another conversation about Donald Trump. Or Ted Cruz. Maybe it was about Hillary Clinton. Honestly, I can’t remember. What I do remember is that it was heated, frustrating, and tiring. A few hours later I was still thinking about it and still annoyed. On the one hand, I didn’t like the other person’s view, or even her mindset.
