Good leaders ask, “How do I tell better stories?” Great leaders ask, “What stories do I need to tell?” Does that mean how you tell a leadership story doesn’t matter? Of course not. But if you tell an irrelevant or unimportant or self-serving story, it doesn’t matter how well you tell it. The story is […] The post The 10 Stories Great Leaders Tell appeared first on Joseph Lalonde.

No significant learning happens only through consumption of insights. It happens when we act on what we learn, go through the experience, take risks and then develop insights through the lens of that experience. Just like organizations need to build right mental models for creating a learning organization, individuals need to build mental habits that enable lifelong learning.

One of the questions I love to ask a roomful of senior leaders when I’m delivering an interactive presentation is, “What is it that only you can do?” It’s a positional question, not a personal question. Because each of those leaders is the current incumbent in the leadership role they’re in, there are certain things that only they can do given the resources, opportunities, authority, information and access that come with the role.

Traits of a Servant Leader. Over the past few decades, “authoritarian” style leadership – boss commands, workers obey – has, thankfully, been going out of style. Remnants of that behavior, though, still remain in many companies and for many leaders, especially in times of stress and for many people new to their leadership roles. Servant leaders get more from their teams by “selling the why” behind ideas, rather than just “telling people what to do.”.

Many of us have full time jobs, or a job that we do that happens to fund our main income each month. It may be something you love and cherish, or it may be something that you just fell into because you weren’t sure what direction to take with your career. However, many of us can agree that often we want more for our future, and there are thankfully things that you can do, either alongside your current job or as a change of career entirely.

Many studies, research, and surveys suggest that between 30 to 50 percent of our meeting times are wasted. We’re not referring to bad meetings, but all meetings. We decided to dig further and found that U.S. companies lose about $37 billion in ineffective meetings annually. Now that it may be difficult to reconcile, but after evaluating meeting cost, time and low productivity associated with ineffective meetings , you would arrive at something more than the estimated damage.

The last decade has firmly prodded ‘left behind’ parts of the country into the spotlight. These often post-industrial towns have fallen from their heyday, and citizens have fought back against a globalized system they feel is not serving them well. While it’s perhaps fair to say that the clarion call of these towns has not been met with the gusto with which populist politicians were elected to do provide, there is nonetheless a clear desire to do better for communities that ha

Of course, this is the idea behind vision and mission statements, but those are very broad statements. I am referring to the dreams I am currently dreaming.
