A Guest Article By Ken Blanchard Sometimes when I’m leading a session for a big group of managers, I’ll ask, “How many of you think of yourself as a leader?” Usually, only about one-third of them raise their hands.

But each of us has the ability to influence someone else, whether it be a co-worker, a child at home, a spouse, or a friend.

Earlier this year, I was talking with an executive coaching client about everything that was going on at once in his business life. The short and incomplete list included integrating an acquired company, moving his company’s headquarters to a new location, the annual planning process and addressing some significant new competitive threats. After hearing his list, I said to him that it reminded me of that list of stressful life events where you add up the scores of each event that is going on in

Lead from Within

I think most of us in leadership can relate to the experience of emotionally demands in the workplace. It may be more closely tied with some roles than others, but it’s common in every field among leaders and others who give themselves fully to the work they do. But it doesn’t come easily. An emotionally demanding role can leave you feeling physically and mentally drained.

Instead, the trick is to choose the right habit and bring just enough discipline […] Success is about doing the right thing, not about doing everything right.

We all know that humility is a moral virtue. We instinctively admire leaders who put others first, who are quick to share credit and slow to blame.

“Pride goes before destruction…” Proverbs 16:18. We are all capable of pride. Some of us more than others.
