“Laura,” a senior exec working to build leadership throughout her team, looked up from her salad and confided. “Karin, the truth is I have so many things going on in any given day, I may not remember the exact decision I made if it was a trivial matter, and I may not even remember exactly what I said about something important. But what I DO KNOW is what I WOULD HAVE SAID in any given circumstance.

People may not remember exactly what you did, or what you said, but they will always remember how you made them feel. ~ Maya Angelou. More than one CEO has said, “Leadership is 90 percent communication,” and research bears them out by showing that the way in which managers communicate with employees is one of the most important factors in driving employee engagement.
Leading in Context
FEBRUARY 10, 2016
By Linda Fisher Thornton If we want to prepare leaders to handle complex challenges, we need to move beyond shallow approaches that focus on knowledge building. We need to help leaders learn to think deeply (beyond symptoms to complex, systemic causes) and broadly across disciplines as they work to meet the needs of multiple stakeholders. To accomplish this, the way we approach learning must change.

No, I don’t want you to chug a six-pack of Five Hour Energy drinks. When we hang around people who energize us, we feel like Superman (or Supergirl). We get more done, we are more assertive, confident. we are performing optimally. And it shows to our boss, clients, peers, and staff. When we hang around people who enervate us, it feels as if our life-force is sucked right out of our soul.

Disruptive forces compel organizations to undertake large scale transformation initiatives to stay relevant. The speed of executing these transformations is as crucial as the initiatives itself and a lot is at stake. In such situations, it is easy to get carried away by the enormity of task at hand and lose the sight of what could go wrong. If you are undergoing a large scale transformation or planning for one, I highly recommend ThoughtWorks article titled “ Seven Pitfalls to Avoid During Organ

It’s a lot of fun to watch children grow up as a parent, especially when they start to come into their own as a person. I have two kids and both are pretty amazing in their own ways. My 9-year old son loves sports and works hard at each of them and is very naturally gifted in the athletic arena. My daughter continues to amaze me with both her thoughtfulness and unselfishness and her willingness to sacrifice for others.

Guest post from Steven D. Goldstein: I’ve never met a leader who says to his team, “Let’s move slowly.” In fact, most companies think they are moving quickly – it’s just that in actuality they are not. This is why start-ups have such a great advantage. Once they make the decision to start their business they operate at full throttle almost immediately.

Uncertainty. It’s probably why I got married at 21 years of age. I didn’t know how to select someone to marry. I didn’t know what constituted good spouse material or how to make such a partnership work. When my boyfriend asked me, I thought, “He must know what it takes to get married.” I said yes. I bring this up because in retrospect I realize I didn’t know what I would do next if I didn’t get married.

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.

Many of you got to your position as a leader by being an expert in your field and getting things done. You’ve worked hard at learning a lot about the things your organization produces and your knowledge has served you well with accolades, rewards, and promotions. You hire, fire, teach, and lead people. You also need to learn them. Just as you learned and became smart about things , you’ve now reached the point that where you need to learn and become smart about people.

Accountability, in traditional environments, is about power. Who has it? How is it used? The teeth in traditional accountability is the power to reward and punish. Accountability as pressure: Short-sighted leaders use accountability to pressure people. The context of pressure is resistance. Dependence on traditional accountability suggests people are already resistant.

When I first started my coaching businesses, I used to use the word love with my clients. I told them: Love what you do. Love your people. Love your work. Love your company. At the time, most people had never even considered that love could be a leadership competency. People thought of love as a feminine quality, a simple emotion. But as the years have passed, more and more of us have come see that love is not only feminine energy but has a masculine quality too.

One of the biggest challenges for any manager or leader is the relationship they have with their team members. We often read about the need for leaders to be open, self-aware, honest and possess similar traits. But what about the employee? What is their responsibility? Managing people and teams is challenging, there is no doubt. Understanding why people do what they do and behave in certain ways can reduce the challenge and assist in managing situations as they arise.

I often ask leaders, “Who might do some of the things you’re doing?” It’s not unusual for them to respond, “I’d love to get some things off my plate, but they’re not ready yet.” They aren’t ready because you haven’t prepared them. Successful leadership is best seen in the growth of others.
