Dear First-Time Leader: Congratulations! You’ve just been given a fantastic opportunity. But before you dive in, I’d like to pass along a little sage advice. I remember my first day as a leader, 35 years ago. I was not long out of college and I thought what I had learned in the classroom and my first few years in the working world would be enough.

Good leaders are change agents. Nothing around us stays static, so change leadership is a necessity. Change for the sake of change is not good leadership. Change requires a grounding in a business and societal understanding and discovery from which reasonable policies and strategies arise. Included in the grounding needs to be a sense and reality of the common good.

Meetings are an unescapable reality of work life. No element is so universally despised, and yet no element is so universally necessary.

Non compete clauses (NCCs) are increasingly common in the business world, but whilst they are a mechanism that has been studied from the perspective of a departing employee, their impact is much less well understood from the perspective of an employee that is currently working under them. A new study from the University of Kansas attempts to redress that balance. “There is an ongoing debate on the use of NCCs in the U.S. about whether they are good or bad,” the researchers explain.

Leadership is not about having all the answers. One sign of a great leader — in my opinion — is to be bold enough to say, “I don’t have all the answers”. Perhaps even harder, “I’m not the one to carry this task forward.”. That takes humility. I observed the pressure some pastors and leaders place on themselves to have all the answers and to be good at everything they do.
