You don’t generally select new employees on obedience, but on what they’re competent at (or potentially capable of doing) together with their ability to collaborate. In this post, I delve deeper into encouraging trust in others’ competence, or allowing people to get on with what they were hired for. Command and control versus trust in another’s competence.

One of the most important skills for any manager is listening. Listening demonstrates respect, concern, an openness to new ideas, empathy, compassion, curiosity, trust, loyalty, and receptivity to feedback – all considered to be qualities of an effective leader. Listening isn’t rocket science. We are born with the ability to listen, yet somehow managers, at some point in their careers, seem to forget how to use this natural born gift.

Lead from Within
OCTOBER 9, 2018
Self-confidence is an essential part of leadership. A leader with self-confidence thinks positively about the future and is willing to take the risks necessary to achieve their personal and professional goals. A leader who lacks self-confidence, on the other hand, is less likely to feel that they can achieve their goals, with a negative perspective about themselves and what they hope to gain in life—attitudes that are destructive to leadership and success.

I often find myself talking about decision-making in my conversations in training workshops and this question usually comes up: What’s the best way to make decisions in a group, and specifically, what should my role as a leader be?

I have a new favourite book - Actionable Gamification - Beyond Points, Badges, Leaderboards and Reviews by Yu-Kai Chou. It may be of interest mostly to me because I am in the process of implementing some of this in a business. I have been interested in gamification for a while. In 2008, I was granted a patent on it. According to Chou. "Gamification is the craft of deriving all the fun and engaging elements found in games and applying them to real-world or productive activities.

When it comes to networking and building relationships, especially in a professional context, a lot of your success depends on being able to build connections to people of higher status than you in an industry, company, or community. (It’s worth taking a second here to exclaim how much I hate using the term “higher status” since I deeply believe everyone’s worth comes from them being a human being, and status, power, money, etc don’t change that inherent worth.).

Wouldn’t it be nice if the world was made up only of people who are just like us, who like us, and who think exactly the way we do? Well, no. Because (1) we’d be wasting iconic truisms like “opposites attract,” and (2) it would be monumentally boring, and (3) it would be just plain un-American. Anyone in a leadership position ought to have as a goal–especially here in the U.S. with our national holiday coming up–to be an instrument of unity , not division.

I talk to churches every week, which are in decline or plateau. Apparently, according to some statistics, this represents about 75-80% of churches. I’m thankful to have served in churches and business in fast growth mode. But, equally important in the formation of me as a leader is that I’ve had experience in leading through difficult days also.

It can be easy for a leader to be fooled into believing that they are the smartest person in the room and that their answers, opinions, ideas and decisions are the only ones that need to be expressed. That thinking can lead down a path where no leader should be. Instead, consider that the ability to lead at your best requires you to stop talking and listen to others and that you need to do that more than you ever imagined you would.

The summer vacation season may be behind us, but the holidays are right around the corner. And soon enough your colleagues may be asking you to cover for them while they’re away. All of a sudden, you’re juggling not only your normal work but also someone else’s. That’s potentially more email, more tasks, more meetings, and more searching for answers to questions about items outside of your normal day-to-day.

Dougal Waters/Getty Images. Whether in corporate life or entrepreneurship, the recipe for success is clear: Win and execute lucrative projects. The reasons are obvious: Your business wouldn’t exist without money to run it, and the more, the better.
