If we listen to our heart first, are we able to increase our emotional intelligence and improve our interactions and relationships with others? Should we begin to give emotions more credibility at work? I do not know any actual examples. In my mind, it means we need to give the heart its due at work.

Hewlett-Packard, a company that started out as an example of moral leadership with “The HP Way” in 1939, has proven itself vulnerable to an unscrupulous CEO when Mark Hurd recently resigned. A simple example – when I was in engineering college, in the final year, my dad bought me a car after much begging and pleading.

Set the example for the rest of the organization by engaging in learning experiences and letting others know what you are learning and describing how you are using what you learn. Support your staff in their learning and development by discussing it with them. Coach them through the obstacles of applying what they learn in the workplace.

As always, leaders need to lead by example. I think this counts for others as well. If you take the time to reflect before you blurt something out of your mouth, then maybe others will do the same. Thanks again! Mary Jo Asmus : September 19, 2010 at 9:14 pm Thanks Amber.

They reward the best leaders for the work they do knowing that an example will be set for the rest. They appreciate and reward the best appropriately. They aren’t afraid of alienating those who aren’t top-notch. Do you see yourself as a joy to coach? Does your organization support your development?

Since that conversation with her, I have actively sought out feedback on my blind spots and the results are very helpful. Thanks for another great post! Hard as it can be to learn about our blind spots, leaders must ask for feedback.

“Yes, but… &# is a great example of something many of us say, all too often because it has become such a habit. For example, if I mention some recent good news to a coworker in passing and they don’t get too excited about it, I may not be to concerned.

Being passionate is another great example. Praising, for example would be when a leader will make it a point to let an employee know that they did a good job on a specific task or project.

I think it’s even less offensive than the example you’ve provided as the individual the question is directed to will almost always say “yes&# (99.99% of the time!), I teach my clients to ask for permission to give the kind of feedback you’ve illustrated. “May I tell you something I noticed about your product?&#.

For example, what if the company CEO “demands” that something be done? And thats my point, even if this is an extreme example. Despite standing up to management in the example I gave, there were plenty of times I made poor choices, and I (maybe too slowly) learned from them.
