T HROUGH THE PAGES of Servant Leadership in Action , we get a clearer picture of what servant leadership is and isn’t. Editors Ken Blanchard and Renee Broadwell have collected some good essays on the subject. Ken Blanchard begins by telling us that some people think you can’t lead and serve at the same time. But that is because they don’t understand that there are two parts to servant leadership: a visionary/direction, or strategic role—the leadership aspect of servant leadership and an implemen

Guest post by Dr. Eliane Karsaklian A sustainable negotiator is a leader. S/He is fueled with challenges and novelty because they are curious and restless. Real leaders believe that change should be disruptive rather than incremental.

There are a lot of skills that make up good leadership, but there is one quality that is possibly the most challenging, that is self-awareness, because self-awareness requires you to focus on yourself—not the easiest thing to do for an outwardly focused leader. Why is self-awareness even important to leaders? Because when you understand your own motivations, you’re able to better understand the motivations of others.

Wherever the barriers to entry are low, we find masses and noise they create, especially on social media. When masses get the power to create content from the comfort of their smartphone, they generate bottomless news feeds that only result in lack of attention and engagement. Add to that, the pushed content from advertisers and cryptic algorithms that only show you what you want to see and your limited world views are trapped in a filter bubble.

A reminder that I am attending the WorkHuman conference put on by Globoforce this week in Austin. The first day of any conference is typically about getting your bearings. You wander through the conference space, figuring out where all the rooms are, how to find the expo hall, and – most importantly – where the afternoon snacks and coffee will be, and WILL THERE BE DIET COKE????

I have a heart for pastors. Maybe it stems from the fact I spent more years as a layperson – deacon, committee member, Sunday school teacher – than I have as a pastor. I realize now how much I didn’t understand about the position. The role has a lot more expectations and pressures than I previously imagined. I always loved and supported the pastor, but looking back, I wish I had been an even better pastor’s friend.

Bruno Vincent/Staff/Getty Images. Just as people differ in height, musical talent, or sense of humor, there are also pretty consistent differences in people’s ability to understand how others see them. Such differences are usually attributed to their self-awareness, though a more appropriate name for this ability would be other- awareness: awareness of how our actions affect — and are therefore evaluated by — other people.

Even among graduates of public affairs programs, the interest in joining the public sector is dwindling as baby boomers retire and Millennials look elsewhere to make an impact on society.
