Most leaders that I work with could insert more inquiry into their leadership style. Inquiry (or more appropriately, asking questions to coach others to come up with their own solutions) is a central skill set for helping others to develop. Let’s see if we can respond the excuses leaders have for avoiding this skill.

Leadership requires a great deal of reflection in order to improve and change; yet we resist the idea of doing something that feels stagnant. Ii suppose I’m just a little too focused on reflection as a tool that should be used with many other behaviors. In a way, when we reflect, we fold back upon ourselves.

One of the earmarks of good leadership is the ability to keep focused and not allow distractions to get in the way of what we set out to accomplish. However, it is important to put them in perspective, to use them as tools to reach your goals rather than have them use you for their own sake. Thanks for your great comment!

And yet I have come to know coaching as a very powerful tool. Courage is a cornerstone of good coaching and of good leadership. It is an essential tool at work and in life. It is a skill that I consistently see developed and applied by the best of managers and leaders. That makes it worth talking about and worth doing.

As a leadership tool, Self-deprecating humour can be pretty powerful too. In other words if bosses are constantly critical of themselves, then red flags tend to come up for those who look to them for leadership. Without batting an eye, my mother said, “Well, I didn’t always look like this, you know!” Pretty powerful stuff.

Bossiness was a necessary skill. When I reflect on these stories, I am reminded that leadership comes in many forms. To this day, I use tools he gave me at the age of sixteen. The bottom line, the leader sets the tone and adopts whatever leadership style fits. It probably helped for her to be a little bossy then too.
