By Linda Fisher Thornton This post is an updated version of a reader favorite. There Will Always Be Grey Areas There will always be ethical grey areas. We see plenty of information about lying, cheating, stealing and other obvious ethical violations.

I F YOU WANT TO GROW your career, Wharton Lecturer and EMBA Career Director Dawn Graham recommends in her book Switchers , that you “ continually put yourself in situations where you’re the least qualified person in the room.” That is, “put yourself into professional situations where you have some foundational knowledge, but are still a novice.” Not only do you grow from the experience but you’ll have a roomful of experts to learn from.

"Read the room." You've probably heard this phrase. To me it’s about picking up on context and non-verbals and mostly about me not making a fool of myself by stumbling into something cluelessly.

Here’s an uncomfortable truth: Your amazing, original idea—the one you swear is going to transform the world—is not all that original. At least not in the way that you think. And that doesn’t mean it’s not going to transform the world. We tend to think that outstanding creative works or amazing disruptive innovations sprang forth into the world wholly original and unique to that industry.

Today's three leadership quotes come from Kristi Hedges , author of the book, The Power Of Presence. A vision will go nowhere unless the leader feels it in her bones. You don't lose your credibility from failure but from how you handle it. Executive presence means much more than making a fantastic first impression. It's about impressions made over time.

I love pastors. Through this blog and my personal ministry, God has allowed me to partner with dozens of pastors, helping them think through life and ministry issues. I’ve learned many pastors struggle to find people who will invest in them and help them grow as individuals, leaders and pastors. In my current job with Leadership Lexington, I get to spend my days thinking of how to assist pastors and the Church.

The saying that employees quit their jobs mostly because of their bosses is not a joke. As much as employees dislike a toxic work environment, they also value a great boss. Being a good boss is very crucial in achieving a lot. From employee engagement, retention to motivation and overcoming employee silence. Workers clearly understand the traits of bosses they would love to work for and bosses are expected to respond to that fact accordingly.
