Anyone can be collaborative leader — no matter whether you are the president, a mid-level manager or a front-line supervisor… no matter whether you are in government, a large corporation, a small business, or a non-profit. Just because you’ve been elected or assigned the role of leader, does not mean you are providing leadership. Leadership […].

Winter holidays bring “visions of sugar plums” dancing in most heads. Not real plums, mind you, but modern-day versions—colorfully wrapped presents, mistletoe, eggnog, decorated trees, outdoor lights, carols, and…hopefully the real reason for celebrating this special time of year. For me, it brings visions of influential leaders and what made them so.

My More Human Leadership philosophy and practice is guided by 8 core principles , and if they are followed and practiced well, a leader can achieve what I call the “ success trifecta ” – a great company, happy employees, and a fulfilled leader.

It’s the key to getting to a place where “ the need to be good is replaced with a relentless passion to be great”.

The majority of our communications are still written. Think about how often you read something important versus listen to something important. As a leader, you’ll be responsible for writing these pieces of communication that your team members will read. No matter what it is that you’re trying to communicate in writing, it’s important that you have a full command over the situation and understand how to present that information eloquently to the people who need it the most.

By Linda Fisher Thornton Leaders may think that being decisive and "sure of things" helps them succeed, but if they do, they may be harboring an outdated view of leadership. What has changed about how we see leadership and certainty? Being certain carries with it the connotation of not engaging others in the conversation and using one-way communication.

The following is a guest piece by Terri Williams. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link, and a company is only as strong as its lowest-performing employees. At first, this analogy may appear to be an overreach—after all, how can one or even a handful of poorly performing workers affect the success of an entire organization? However, according to data from the Eagle Hill National Attrition Survey , low performers can have significantly negative effects on an organization.

Many of us are quick to judge others based on an instance of unseemly behavior. As a leader, falling into the trap of quickly judging someone based on a single bad behavior isn’t the best way to assure you have an organization of people brimming with potential. It’s all too easy to paint a broad brush and declare individuals who behave badly as bad people.

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.

Guest post from Larry Senn: Think about the last argument you had with a colleague or even a loved one. Chances are, it was because you saw, experienced, or truly believed something that was different from the other person. Most confrontations, arguments, break ups, and irritations stem from seeing things differently from others. Many of this day-to-day irritation, anger, blame, and self-righteousness can be avoided by a simple concept called Honoring Our Separate Realities.

Last Friday, McDonalds tweeted from its @McDonaldsCorp account: “ Black Friday * Need copy and link *” Interestingly, it seemingly failed to include any promo content in the tweet, leaving readers to wonder was this an epic fail in the marketing department or a deliberate action intended to drum up interest and buzz for the brand. I suppose, the mystery of it all could even inspire some to stop by a McDonald’s store to find out what the promo (if it existed) was all about.

The fear crept in whenever I would return home and find the house empty. Mom, dad, sister, brother… Nowhere to be found. Image by Evan Rummel. What was to be found was fear.
