Never, ever give feedback using the sandwich technique! When you order a sandwich, is it about the two slices of bread or what’s on the sandwich? The sandwich technique for feedback is a way to package something unpleasant: First start with something positive, then the criticism and round off with something positive. The negative stuff is sandwiched between the good stuff.

Photo credit: 123RF. I was young and relatively new to the professional work world, with an abundance of motivation and drive. The executive I was reporting to inherited me and the work I was doing in a reorganization.

An Indispensable Leadership Strength. Anxiety reared as I contemplated the crossing of a lengthy suspension bridge. This crossing, for many, may just be a mundane experience. Yet for someone who has always experienced an overwhelming fear of heights, this bridge was a daunting obstacle. An obstacle that was difficult to avoid, as I had to cross the bridge to attend my son’s wedding ceremony.

Let’s set the scene: we’re eavesdropping on the (fictional) conversation between SVP “Jerry” and his teammate “George”, in Jerry’s office…… “I promise Jerry, I’ll do better – just give me another chance”.

The Disciplined Leader Series To some, the word discipline is a dirty word. It’s a word they hate to hear and hate to use. After all, discipline doesn’t sound sexy. The word connotes a dying to self. A falling in line. A giving up of oneself. Photo by Nirav Insomniac. And it does. But that’s not bad. Discipline is a needed trait as a leader.

I am keenly aware of the weather. I garden (not as much as I should though - my garden at the office got away from me). I also do walking meeting and on days when I have no walking meetings, I usually walk outside. Danby Appliances has a window and portable air conditioning business. I know - not really appliances but they have compressors just like fridges and freezers so we sell them.

Most HR leadership philosophies are grounded in two completely faulty assumptions — “change is hard” and “engagement drives results.” Those beliefs have inspired expensive attempts to keep change from being disruptive to employees. What these engagement programs actually do is create and reinforce feelings of victim-hood and leave employees unprepared to adapt to real changes that are necessary for the health and profitability of their enterprises.
