“I’m Not Listening!: The Best Way to Get Your Team to Hear Your Feedback

Let's Grow Leaders

“John” and I had spent the better part of the hour talking about what her direct report, “Janis,” needed to be a more effective manager. Bless her heart, Janis had a hard time accepting feedback. If she didn’t improve, her job was on the line, but we didn’t want to put it that way. At least not yet. We isolated the behaviors and built a solid developmental path forward.

To Develop a Culture of Trust and Loyalty, Try Sharing Your Leadership

Lead Change Blog

The term “drive performance” is popular in a bottom-line, transactional world made up of managers and executives who lead through their positional authority. Yet over the years I have learned that leadership culture has changed. Driving no longer holds a favorable place, especially with Millennials. If you think about it, we drive cattle and cars; they have no say because “we’re in charge.

Teach Millennials how to use their Power

Great Leadership By Dan

Guest post from Dan Negroni : When we think of leaders and when we think of millennials, there are usually conflicting descriptions. We describe great leaders as honest, hard working, empowering, transparent, generous and so many other positive traits. Millennials are often described as lazy, entitled, selfish and so many other negative traits. However, after working with thousands of millennials, I can assure that these assertions about millennials are myths.

N2Growth Blog

“Pain plus time equals humor.”. That’s a “formula” that the late Garry Marshall, creator and producer of memorable sitcoms like “Happy Days,” “Laverne and Shirley” and “Mork and Mindy,” said he learned from observing comedian Lenny Bruce. Humor emerging from pain is man’s way of coping with something that hurt you. Some people would turn that pain into rage; others turn it into a catalyst for self-improvement.

A Leadership Conundrum: Unexpected Sources of Leadership

Jesse Lyn Stoner Blog

How can I help you do your job better?

N2Growth Blog

A question employees love to hear: How can I help you do your job better? That is one of the most potent questions in management for a senior executive to put to an employee. Offering such assistance is recognition by the executive that his job is to help others do their jobs better.

Rich Gee Group

In other words — Always be prepared to leave a job, because your employer is always prepared to leave you. More and more, many companies (not all, mind you) find themselves letting employees go for a number of different reasons. Too young/too old, too much/too little salary, old/new employee, old/new direction, high/low level position are just some of the myriad reasons why people are let go from their place of employment.

No Ego: How Leaders Can Cut the Cost of Drama, End Entitlement and Drive Big Results

Speaker: Cy Wakeman, M.S., CSP, President, Reality-Based Leadership

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.

Being present may be enough

Persuasive Powerhouse

I’ve been roaming our property daily since early June looking for natural things that are small, beautiful, and great subjects for camera close ups and macro shots. It’s been a profound experience in learning to be present as I look for flowers, insects, and fungi. With my camera in hand, I see all kinds of things I didn’t notice before: flowers my husband (our resident landscaper) planted years ago, beautiful mushrooms as small as ¼ inch across and tiny insects that are new to me.

Is Moral Development Observable?

Leading in Context

By Linda Fisher Thornton Most of us have some idea about human development because we have watched people grow up and pass through stages and milestones in their lives. We have seen babies roll over and sit up, and later walk on their own. We have watched children grow into teenagers and become adults. Moral development is just as important as physical development, and should be going on at the same time as physical development, but it is not visible in terms of a person's appearance.
