It’s a question that has many of us in the leadership resiliency field pondering with great uneasiness. The current public personas of people whom we would title “leaders” are a far cry from the model Robert Greenleaf developed during his 40 years with American Telephone and Telegraph (now AT&T).

In a fast-paced and ultra-competitive business world, it’s rare when a leader can get immediate feedback about how they are doing. Annual, semi-annual, and even monthly performance evaluations and “360 Degree” feedback from your bosses, peers and teammates just don’t have the same impact, especially when it comes to the quality of the leadership itself.

A few weeks ago, I wrote a piece about 3 fundamental storytelling elements leaders should employ to successfully drive change. Now when it comes to using storytelling to help describe our vision or change initiative, the common tendency is to frame our story within the hero on a quest narrative, given how it’s the decisions and choices we make through our leadership that ultimately impact whether we collectively succeed or fail.

Guest post from Ilene Marcus : It’s crunch time. Your team is on overdrive. Each decision matters. Every moment counts. You can’t afford to be distracted and yet, there it is – the workplace annoyer. A team member with a trait, a quirk that gets under your skin. You rationalize, we have just been spending too much time on this project. Or as the leader, I have so much more on my plate that I can’t be involved in every detail and they keep dragging me in.

Ever remember something easily and confidently … then find out your memory of it was wrong? I have sometimes argued long and hard with family members over issues both minor and major from our shared past.

An old fad is making a comeback: the “ brutally honest workplace.” From my vantage point, interacting with your colleagues using “radical candor” or “radical transparency” is a subtle—and sometimes not so subtle—form of verbal assault that seems to be spreading, given the success of firms like Bridgewater Associates , and contributing to the rise of incivility and insensitivity today.

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.
