Leadership is putting a face to management science. A good leader is an able manager. And an able manager is someone who can recruit, hire, train, and mentor. He or she is someone who can motivate, engage, and monitor. And he or she has the ability to envision, plan, clarify, evaluate, and revise. Unfortunately, this is not what many leaders do. They are more focused on disciplining than directing, and more interested in rebuking than reinforcing.

Nearly every business leader recognizes the importance of their organization’s value proposition. It’s the elevator pitch, the one thing that your business can deliver to its customers that separates it from every other business out there. Your value proposition is so intrinsic to your business that, if I were to ask what it is, I bet you would be able to spout it off in a nanosecond.

Guest post from T.J. Jones : Does happiness at work matter? Is there value in a fun workplace? YES. In a twenty-year career, I had eighteen different bosses. Do that math, please. I experienced eight acquisitions (and thus, culture) changes in that timeframe. Cheerleading each time for the “new reality” through all the uncertainty, when I too had fears and uncertainties, was exhausting—like lost sleep you never catch up on.

By definition, temperament connotes disposition — an outlook on the world but also a sense of individuality that radiates self-assurance. In my experience, those with a good temperament are those who bring people toward them. Why? Because they invite smart people and feel warmed by their presence. That in turn encourages a spirit of contribution that leads to collaboration.

I was absolutely shocked when the CEO of a small organization told me why she couldn’t be more effective. She told me that she spent about 80% of her time involved in employee behavior issues which left little time for her to focus on the basic needs of the company. What added insult to her injury was that it was only a small portion (10%) of her staff members who were chewing up the majority of her time and energy.

Being a leader may sound glamorous, but the reality is it is a lot of work. While a leader’s prior performance is an indication of their capability, having new constituents means that they need to prove themselves again. The leader needs to work hard to earn the trust and respect of their people. While one can say, “I’ve done all the work and made it … why do I need to prove myself again?

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.

L eaders can’t lead without followers. That seems like an obvious fact but so many people are missing this. They don’t realize no one is following them. The other mystery is that those who do realize this conundrum don’t know why people aren’t following them. You can see the problem there, can’t you?
