More to Success than Money and Metrics

Lead Change Blog

Louie was doing his job well, actively selling Marie on the reasons why she should list his firm’s talent assessment on her company’s website.

And now, from a distance, my optimism regarding the sector’s ability to innovate and capture opportunities has not changed.

The Fundamentals of Tomorrow’s Leadership, the Basics with a Twist

Great Leadership By Dan

Guest post from Fiona Murden : In 1998 I graduated from business school feeling I knew all there was to know about leadership. I began work as a management consultant and much of what I’d learnt was very quickly thrown out of the window. The basics of behaviour tell us far more than the latest fad. I became obsessed with observing like a detective, working out what, why and how.

Next Level Blog

A few months ago, I was in conversation with a group of senior director and vice president level leaders in a client company. I asked them, “Before you were promoted to senior director or VP, what did you used to say about the people who had those titles?” What I heard in response was pretty telling: They don’t get it.

You can’t see a vision when you’re tangled in the weeds

Persuasive Powerhouse

If you are a “people leader”, every time you get more responsibility, you need to work toward seeing further, broader, and becoming more visionary. When you take on a higher level of work you need to be thinking about delegating and stepping out of the daily work to fly above it and see a vision. When you are overly tangled in the weeds – checking up on minutiae, making decisions someone else could be making, rolling up your sleeves and getting too involved – your vision is blinded.

A Simple Way To Motivate Employees

LDRLB

There comes a time when the job of motivation falls upon everyone. Maybe it’s because you’re a senior leader or team manager, or maybe it’s because those individuals are not doing their jobs well enough to motivate your peers.

Harvard Business Review

Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, a psychologist and chief talent scientist at ManpowerGroup, says we’re not picking leaders in the right way. While we should be promoting people based on their competence and potential, it’s often the incompetent, overconfident candidates — most of them men — who get ahead.
