When Alexander II was the Czar of what is now Russia in the mid 1800’s, he looked out of his palace window and observed a soldier guarding an area of the palace lawn that appeared to be little more than empty space. “What is that soldier guarding?” he asked then-Ambassador Otto van Bismarck. Bismarck asked the captain of the guard for a reason for the sentry’s post.

N o matter how we look at it, there’s no easy road in leadership. It’s an up and down journey that pushes us beyond our limits. That’s why we need to have commitment. Commitment is being dedicated to a goal or cause. You not only start it, you see it through. Yet I see far too many people who lack commitment. That’s a problem.

Earlier this month, when I was speaking on mindful leadership to the Latino Leadership Summit of one of my client companies, I shared the graphic that accompanies this post. It shows what happens when the body is in the chronic state of fight or flight that comes from being constantly overworked and overwhelmed. Chronic fight or flight impacts your leadership effectiveness for sure, but, more importantly, it shortens your life and reduces the quality of it while you’re still here.

A number of years ago, I was flying to Santa Barbara, California. Suddenly, the plane took an enormous dip. The pilot immediately came on the speaker system and announced, “We have a minor problem. The landing gear isn’t working. We are going to circle the airport until we run out of fuel so we can land more safely with the wheels up.”. Needless to say I was afraid for my life!

“Thoughts are things” is the title and the first words of the first chapter in the immortal Napoleon Hill book, Think and Grow Rich. When I first read those words, in 1972, I didn’t really understand what they meant – even when I read the first chapter and the examples offered in Think and Grow Rich , it didn’t resonate – until I got to the end of the chapter and read, “Whatever the mind of man can conceive, and believe, it can achieve.”.

"There has never been a better time to be an author," says Fauzia Burke , "because for the first time authors have direct access to their readers. While there is more competition in the marketplace, there is also more opportunity." However, "readers don't just expect a new book, they expect a community along with their book. You'll need to evolve your marketing to accommodate this new kind of reader: a reader whose loyalty you can have -- once you have earned it," explains Burke.

In my opinion, there are times when my leadership is better than others. I call them seasons. Seasons come a seasons go. Obviously, I would love for all of our seasons to be wonderful, but I have learned this isn’t realistic. What I have observed is when leadership is at it’s best there is a delicate tension in place. Let me share a few examples to describe what I mean.

This is a very interesting interview with W. Edwards Deming by Bill Scherkenbach (recording in February 1984, during this time Bill Scherkenbach worked at Ford and Deming was consulting with Ford). The interview provides many insightful quotes from Deming and shows his concern for the widespread failures of American management and the suffering caused by executives and senior managers.

How many times have you walked out of a theoretically important meeting—a leadership offsite, a C-suite pow-wow, a sit-down with the board—thinking, That was a great discussion, but I’m not sure we really accomplished anything ? More often than not, the problem lies not in what did or didn’t happen at the meeting itself. You didn’t get anything done because the goals for the meeting were never firmly established in the first place.

A good network keeps you informed. Teaches you new things. Makes you more innovative. Gives you a sounding board to flesh out your ideas. Helps you get things done when you’re in a hurry. And, much more (see my recent Lean In video on how networks augment your impact).
