Winning Well Connection. From his books that taught us and informed our early careers, to the selflessness he consistently demonstrates, to his embodiment of professional confident humility, Marshall has been a tremendous supporter of Winning Well. We were honored when Marshall wrote the foreword for our book. Thank you once again, Marshall for your unwavering commitment to blending the bottom line with the human spirit and your support of Winning Well.

Welcome to the May 2017 edition of the Leadership Development Carnival! At the core of my decision to create Weaving Influence was my love of reading and my belief that books can connect people in a unique way. As this post by Stephanie Vozza explains, reading (especially fiction) can help a reader improve their reasoning skills and increase their capacity to solve complex problems.

A Reel Leadership Article Star Wars Day is approaching at lightspeed. On May 4th, Star Wars fans will celebrate Star Wars Day. The holiday originated as a pun on May The Force Be With You and falls on May 4th because May the 4th and May The Force sound similar. As such, I thought the upcoming Star Wars Day would be a great time to share these inspiring leadership quotes from Star Wars.

By Linda Fisher Thornton. How do you make decisions? Do you consider a series of important questions? Do you find out the needs of the people involved? Do you consult a diverse group of advisors? Or do you just wing it? Some of the ways we may be tempted to think through our challenges (how to stay within budget or how to be most profitable, for example) leave ethical values out of the equation.

Winning Well Connection Reflection. I first met Eileen when a mutual friend said “You two should really know one another,” and she was right. Eileen has a warm and generous spirit and is an amazing role model of confident humility. . Before you throw up your hands in horror, consider the root of the word “humility.” The term comes from the Latin humilitas, which may be translated as “humble,” but also as “grounded,” or “from the earth,” since it derives from humus (earth).

What really makes a good leader? Many theories and models try to show us the way. The discussion may be approached from several perspectives. For example, what are the characteristics (or personality traits) of effective leaders, what do effective leaders do or what are process models in which the nature of the work is connected with the type of leadership that is effective?

“Heroes must see to their own fame. No one else will.”. ~ Gore Vidal ~. Nathan felt it was time to raise his visibility. He knew he needed this just to keep his job in a tight market. He especially needed to get recognition if he hoped to advance. But no one likes a show-off or a know-it-all. So Nathan struggled with how to accomplish good self-promotion in the workplace without coming off in a negative way?

A few months back I had lunch with my old high-school friend Todd, who had just moved to a new city. As we sat down to our salad and steak sandwich, he shared that he had just made an offer on a home. I asked him about his house-hunting, and was impressed that he had avoided Expensive Sentences in his quest. That’s a good thing, too, because for most of us our home is our greatest personal investment.

Today I’m going to rant. Sorry. I started my practice 10 years ago. And every day, I receive multiple “Get Rich Quick” schemes in my inbox. “Just do this (spend money) and gold coins will fall from the sky.” A large part of the digital marketing universe is leading on growing businesses with crazy incremental upsells that make me want to scream when I look at them.

Change seems to occur at an ever-increasing speed, making forecasts – especially those concerning long term scenarios – an extremely risky business. Forecasts often lead to disappointments, both for management – employees – shareholders and other stakeholders. Because of the complexities, we can always find excuses: Organizational developments did not always have the impact as expected, or employees/leaders turned out to be less suitable for the job than hoped for.

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.

Leon Logothetis watched The Motorcycle Diaries and a thought popped into his head. He wanted to see if he could travel around the world on the kindness of strangers. This birthed The Kindness Diaries, a book and an original series on Netflix where Leon travels the globe on Kindness One relying on the kindness of others.

Have you ever wondered how some leaders are more creative and innovative than others? As a leader coach and business consultant I have seen two kinds of leaders, I have witnessed both, and I have seen the results of both. One leader thinks that in order to create something new, they must use their analytic mind to be creative. The other kind of leader who want to try something new they use their intuitive mind to be innovative.

Nobody said he was a great mathematician. But he may be the greatest general you never heard of. His actions over 2,000 years ago are a great example of how you can influence your future by the way you react to whats coming at you. Scipio Africanus led Roman armies during the Second Punic War from 211 to 202 BC. He had successfully ousted Carthaginian armies from the Iberian Peninsula and a large swath of northern Africa by the time he turned 35 years old.

When I think about what makes a great boss, one of my first items is someone who really knows what they are doing – a true expert. And when I think about what makes a true expert, in my mind it’s always an older person; someone with sage-like wisdom who has been were I am… but a long time ago. If you’ve worked for any length of time, you know that’s just not realistic.
