I’m a big believer in leadership development. Early in my career, I had a manager who noticed my potential and nominated me for training programs that kick-started mine. Then, as a newly-minted entrepreneur, I joined peer-to-peer counseling groups such as Young Entrepreneur’s Organization (YEO) and my local tech council’s Executive Roundtable to help me continue to develop my skills.

I love leadership lessons that are backed by facts and history. Because they become what I call “ immutables ” – lessons that must be heeded to get to greatness. And there’s one immutable that has influenced me, and how I practice leadership, more than any other lesson I have ever received- and after 40 years of studying leadership, that’s saying something.

When it comes to the powerful ideas in our heads and the core values in our hearts, we censor ourselves.” Originals by Adam Grant—a professor at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton business school—is about the people who choose to champion originality and move us forward.

Conscious Choices. Is being a leader a choice? Or does it just happen? I believe that leadership requires making conscious choices. Ongoing. Everyday. I learned this idea of conscious choices from a mentor in the context of coaching others. He explained that when working with leaders who are in development it is important to help them peel pack the layers of their decisions to uncover why they do the things they do.

One of the biggest challenges for any manager or leader is the relationship they have with their team members. We often read about the need for leaders to be open, self-aware, honest and possess similar traits. But what about the employee? What is their responsibility? Managing people and teams is challenging, there is no doubt. Understanding why people do what they do and behave in certain ways can reduce the challenge and assist in managing situations as they arise.

If you’ve tossed and turned at night wondering how on earth you’re going to get to the bottom of tomorrow’s to-do list, you’ll doubtless have asked yourself if it’s possible to strike a better work-life balance and reclaim some of your time. Well, good news – you can. The often heard claim that “we all seem to be so busy these days” is something of a misnomer; the human race has always been busy.

Most HR leadership philosophies are grounded in two completely faulty assumptions — “change is hard” and “engagement drives results.” Those beliefs have inspired expensive attempts to keep change from being disruptive to employees. What these engagement programs actually do is create and reinforce feelings of victim-hood and leave employees unprepared to adapt to real changes that are necessary for the health and profitability of their enterprises.

They feel trusted, honored, and respected. They’re optimistic about what they’ll learn, how they’ll partner with peers, how they’ll contribute to customers’ quality of life that day. Those team members don’t have to work hard to rally themselves.

Real leaders know that how they speak is important but ultimately what they actually say is what may be repeated digitally or on paper. They continuously monitor their words not only at business negotiations with partners, investors or the “big customers,” but also carefully pick words for casual talks with subordinates or team mates. They know that respect and trust of all team members let the company achieve the goals they’ve set.
