Let's Grow Leaders

Yesterday a high-potential, high-performing VP called: Karin, the thing is, I know I’ve been accomplishing a lot. And I shouldn’t need this. But, I just wish one of the big guys would just say “thank you.” HR and my peers have told me “Oh, if you haven’t heard anything, you can be sure you’re doing just fine. if you’re screwing up, that will be perfectly clear.

As soon as we are labeled as a “leader”, especially one in the executive suite, there is a very strong tendency to put ourselves on a pedestal. After all, we are on a higher rung on the ladder, right? If we’re not careful, this “higher level” thinking can also have an effect on how we interact with our teammates. Suddenly, we’re more aloof, more reserved.

This post is part of our 2017 Lead Change Group Guest Blogger Series. Today we are pleased to share a post from Jeff Thurston. All leaders have a sphere of influence. It can be defined as the context in which influence is felt. In some cases, this sphere of influence is small, perhaps extending only to an immediate coworker, friend, or family member.

By Linda Fisher Thornton Ethical leadership competence is an issue that is gaining attention. Expectations of "good leadership" are increasing and leaders and organizations are scrambling to keep up. While sometimes people disagree about implementation, there is a strong consensus among scholars and research organizations that today's leadership requires broad, high level thinking.

A Receptivity to Change Scale. Ellen R. Auster and Trish Ruebottom created a scale that categorizes individuals in an organization according to their receptivity to change initiatives : Sponsors, promoters, indifferent fence-sitters, cautious fence-sitters, positive skeptics, and negative skeptics. One of the values of this scale is that it provides a framework from which to categorize each stakeholder per his/her potential receptivity or reluctance to a specific change initiative.

T OM ASACKER always makes you think. Life is not scripted but we live it as though it were. In doing so, we create boxes that we operate within without ever really seeing the possibilities. “We’re confined in mental prisons of our own creation.” We make these scripts up or others make them up for us and eventually we come to believe them. And the problem is we think that is reality.

As an independent micro business owner, I relish holidays. However, I’m also a little fearful of them. This may sound odd. How could one be afraid of taking time off to recharge the batteries? And, certainly, if you hold a salaried position where the paycheck will appear in your bank account each month regardless of whether or not you dip into your holiday fund, the word “fearful” simply doesn’t enter the mind come holiday time.

Some people love to give presentations. Some people hate it. Most people fall somewhere in between these two points on the presentation spectrum. What do want to most from your presentation? A decision? Enthusiasm for a idea? A sale? A way to present bad numbers so they look good? I’ve given thousands of presentations — from a small status update for my division, or an 850+ audience at The Hartford Insurance Company, all the way to major sales presentations to McDonald’s and Home Dep

In January, one Sunday afternoon I was preparing to teach an IAP course at MIT. The topic: how to solve hard problems. Yet something was nagging me. How do you explain the different characteristics of great problem solvers? What does a Great Problem Solver have that others lack? The course was focused on the behaviours required to crush hard problems, loosely based on my forthcoming book.

In his excellent TED Talk titled “ Doctors make mistakes. Can we talk about that? ,” physician Brian Goldman describes the first medical mistake he made, how he made mistakes “over and over again,” and how the culture he worked in made him feel “alone, ashamed and unsupported.” The culture Dr. Goldman describes contributes to widespread burnout in medicine today and it makes future medical mistakes more likely.

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.

Last week we talked about the importance of seeking to understand your leadership environment before you start trying to lead. And if you were taking good notes and paying attention to the people you talked with, you should have a pretty good idea of the direction you want to take your team.
