How to Get Noticed as a Leader– Before You’ve Led a Team

Let's Grow Leaders

Last week “John” shared his “No Diaper Genie!” frustration in the middle of our high-potential leadership development program. Yeah, I get that I’m here… and the company is investing in me and all that. But my boss keeps saying, “You’re not ready to be promoted, you’ve never led a team. I can’t recommend you for that particular promotion now, give it time” but the truth is, my job is 18 times more complex than any front-line super

Ethics-Rich Leadership: Why We Need It

Leading in Context

By Linda Fisher Thornton I was originally going to used the words "ethics-infused leadership" in this post, but I realized that would treat ethics a little bit like a lime twist in a cold drink. The drink would hint of lime, but it wouldn't be FULL of lime. So I chose to use "ethics-rich" leadership instead. I think you may already be looking for the ethics-rich leadership I'm talking about. .

Go Ahead … Make My Day!

Lead Change Blog

Do you remember the film Sudden Impact ? If not, I bet you remember the quote made famous by the gravelly voice of Clint Eastwood, “Go ahead, make my day.” Two years after the film debuted, Time Magazine quoted President Ronald Reagan, who couldn’t resist the sudden impact of his opinion on higher taxes when he said, “I have my veto pen drawn and ready for any tax increase that Congress might even think of sending up.

Leadership From A Glass Half Full: My 10 Favorite Optimism Quotes

Terry Starbucker

The foundation of my More Human leadership practice and philosophy comes from what I call “ half-fullism ” – dealing with the literal world in a favorable way. In fact, the original title of this blog was “Ramblings From a Glass Half-Full” In my very first post back on December 25, 2005, I noted, Call me an eternal optimist, call me a fool, but I find it’s the best way to live one’s life with the least amount of angst.

Three Lessons from Elon Musk

Lead Change Blog

With a “Yeah. Maybe not medically tho. Dunno…” Elon Musk revealed almost glibly that he believes he is bipolar. FoxBusiness picked this up and suggested that many other CEOs suffer from the hypomania associated with bipolar disorder, allowing for creativity and a fighter’s mentality. That elated frenzy which falls just below a true manic state might drive gifted leaders to take risks, making them more successful than those without the associated highs of bipolar disorder.

Becoming a better leader takes discipline

Persuasive Powerhouse

It’s a beautiful morning. I grab my camera, and walk out of the office to the property that surrounds it as I sharpen my sense of sight to find things that might be unusual or colorful.

No Ego: How Leaders Can Cut the Cost of Drama, End Entitlement and Drive Big Results

Speaker: Cy Wakeman, M.S., CSP, President, Reality-Based Leadership

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.

In 100 Words: Immersion and Doing Work that Matters

QAspire

We cannot be anxious about something “out there” – a goal, a target, an external reward, a validation from others and generally things that feed our ego – and be immersed in what we do at the same time. To be able to do great work/art that changes others for better, we need to let “joy” rule us instead of “ego”. Then there is no self in the game: self is just a conducive medium for the inspiration to show up in form of work.
