This post is a part of our 2016 Lead Change Group Guest Blogger Series. Today we are pleased to introduce you to Ian Whitfield from Ian Whitfield Photography. Photography. Something I’ve wanted to do for a good while. Life learning. Something for me. And something to give back. I wanted to develop skills and an artistic passion – very different from my natural logical nature.

Leadership Freak
MARCH 3, 2016
Mistake #1: Not learning from mistakes. My biggest mistake was not learning quickly from mistakes. I chose persistence over reflection. Solutions: Reflect on relationships. Move quickly toward failing relationships to see if they might be strengthened. Protect people from themselves. Success gives leaders permission to ignore or make excuses for their frailties.
First Friday Book Synopsis
MARCH 3, 2016
The short albums that punctuate these chapters highlight a set of attributes that leaders (both admirable and reprehensible) have demonstrated over the centuries: the capacity for deep attention, a sense of timing and the knowledge of when to delay decisions, an ability to persuade – occasionally to con – others, the exercise of superior judgment,… Read More “Call it a Crisis of Leadership” – Elizabeth Samet Has Compiled a Significant List of Writings in her anthology

First Friday Book Synopsis

Pick your word or phrase: racism; gender inequality; poverty (and homelessness); wealth inequality. All of these are part of our national conversation. And, in many ways, they are part of many local conversations also. For 18 years, each month I have presented synopses of business books at the First Friday Book Synopsis. And for about 10… Read More Why You Might Need a Social Justice/Social Impact Book Club in Your Company or Organization.

Reality-Based Leadership
MARCH 3, 2016
Spring has sprung and it’s the ideal time to take inventory of your personal and/or professional goals for the year. Think back to the New Year’s resolutions you set in January. Are you making progress as you should or have your plans been derailed? If there’s a need to regroup and refocus, it’s never too late. Yes, life is messy and can sometimes get in the way.
Deming Institute

Point 7 in Dr. Deming’s 14 obligations of management : Institute leadership (see point 12 and Chapter 8 in Out of the Crisis ). The aim of supervision should be to help people and machines and gadgets to do a better job. Supervision of management is in need of overhaul, as well as supervision of production workers. The phrase “institute leadership” is difficult to understand without context.

I recently stood in front of an executive team, allowing their unproductive to-ing and fro-ing to continue a little longer. It was a gold mine of examples I could use to teach them how not to have conflict. Within 10 minutes, they’d managed to take a routine issue and turn it into an all-out row, with yelling and swearing and more than a few hurt feelings and bruised egos.

My stomach has been in knots the last few months. I’ve been nervous for our nation – a nation I love. I’ve been bombarded with blogs, tweets and the opinions of others about national politics. The culture of politics – and our nation – these days is so tense, so bitter, so divisive. Chances are you’ve been nervous too – or certainly you’ve been distracted by the news of the day.

Unease is rippling through financial markets, and a sense of anxiety has overtaken society. In the United States, the presidential campaign has devolved into a frenzy of personal insults and unhinged behavior. Technology may be heading toward self-driving cars and genomics-inspired medicine, but most people believe the country is headed in the wrong direction.
Harvard Business Review

When we think of great leaders, certain characteristics come to mind: They have confidence in their abilities and conviction in their beliefs. They “trust their gut,” “stay the course,” and “prove others wrong.” They aren’t “pushovers,” and they certainly don’t “flip-flop.” But this archetype is terribly outdated.

Employers need simple, low-cost ways of helping employees make healthy choices. The effects of poor health and obesity cost U.S. companies $225 billion every year, according to the Centers for Disease Control, and this number is quickly rising. Although some employer-sponsored wellness programs have yielded high returns — Johnson & Johnson reported a 170% return on wellness spending in the 2000s — the employee wellness industry as a whole has struggled to prove its value.

Many founders fall into the same trap: they focus all their energy and resources on building a product and finding customers, and when they come up for air, they realize that they need to raise outside capital. So they scramble to craft a pitch, find potential investors, and ask for money — and they usually fail. They end up with no money, and, sometimes, no company.

Harvard Business Review

A recent survey of Harvard Business School alumni found that fully 71% of respondents felt their business was harmed by rising inequality, middle-class stagnation, growing poverty, or limited economic mobility. And 66% of respondents felt that addressing these issues mattered more than promoting economic growth. Nonetheless, too many employers still act as if improving the well-being of workers and families is someone else’s job.

Global teams work better when members get to know one another. Team members give their colleagues the benefit of the doubt, pick up the phone when issues arise, and are generally more effective at collaborating. But given tight travel budgets, the disruption to work and family, and the enormous carbon footprint associated with global travel, it’s not always feasible to give team members the opportunity to meet face-to-face.
