Have you ever looked at your to do list and just laughed? You think, “oh right, that’s not happening,” and then moments later, you realize that none of the tasks on your list are really an option. Perhaps that’s the point that your nervous laughter turns to tears. That’s the wall I hit this week.

Have you ever heard of an “absentee leader” or manager? In this era of working remotely, having “commuting executives” who travel from city to city, and leadership that takes on added locations and broader areas, a growing trend has developed where employees don’t see their leaders as much, or hardly at all.

The meal was superb at the Outback Steakhouse in Conyers, GA. And, my wife and I were looking forward to a romantic nightcap in our La Quinta Inn hotel room within walking distance of the restaurant. A vodka tonic is not the same without a slice of lemon so I had asked the Outback bartender for a whole lemon which she gladly provided. We walked into the La Quinta lobby in desperate need of a knife to cut our lemon for garnishing my wife’s favorite adult beverage!

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.

Today, many people believe it’s impossible to be successful in the world of business, leadership, or politics and still maintain integrity. Some believe that the purpose of leadership is to acquire power and dominance. Many believe that business decisions are less effective if there is a serious consideration for moral matters. But the standard of leadership depends not only on the qualities and beliefs of our leaders, but also on the expectations we have of them.

The leader was a few weeks into a senior management role at a large company, contemplating the relationships she needed to develop. I was secretly pleased that she had thought about that as her first priority in the new position. For many leaders who are new in their role, developing relationships with key stakeholders isn’t top of mind. This leader had been diligent in mapping out the individuals and groups she needed to meet, and was working with her assistant to get those meetings scheduled.

Weak leaders silence dissent; wise invite it. Peter Drucker said, “If you have quick consensus on an important matter, don’t make the decision.” All important decisions are made better by constructive dissent. Leaders with authority and power are responsible to invite, explore, honor, and reward constructive dissent.
