'“Oh the minute they made the announcement, I knew she’d be down on the field,” my husband told my parents over wine and brie. My parents both just smiled. As wacky as it sounded, they weren’t shocked either. In hindsight it was an audacious move, but I’d always wanted to sing the National Anthem over the microphone in a big stadium.

'Strength lies in differences, not in similarities. Stephen Covey. Modern aircraft are often made of a composite material. Fiberglass is a thick, flexible fabric…hardly something that can support thousands of pounds and withstand the extreme forces of flight.

'There are days when I can get in serious “auto-pilot” mode – the state of being where things are happening so fast and furiously that all I do is react, instead of think. It’s during those times that my leadership suffers. Because I’m “ not all there “. I become a mile wide and an inch deep. My teammates don’t get the benefit of any fully developed and reasoned thought and analysis.

'Times of downsizing and restucture require every ounce of confident humility you can muster. Your team is starving for information, reassurance, guidance and support. And quite frankly, I’m amazed at how many leaders totally screw this up. In part I blame lawyers that scare the humanity and common sense out of otherwise sensible human beings.

'I’m a nice guy… I think so anyway! Although my kids might disagree, I’ve been told that at times I’m TOO nice by some of my employees and friends. I like it when I can make someone’s day, and I’m a big believer in “what goes around, comes around… and a LOT of it!” The Bible puts it like this… “Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop.

'Words all by themselves don’t create anything. But the words you choose and how you put them together will influence the thinking, feelings, and actions of others. In short, your language will help to achieve the results you want, improve the quality of your relationships, and create the respect that may be lacking. I was fascinated years ago to learn that the Aramaic phrase abracadabra so frequently used by magicians, means I create as I speak.

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.

'What is the most important thing to you as a leader? Is it results? Is it service? Is it engagement? Those are all very good things to have happening regularly in your work environment. Yet too few bosses focus on all three – nor do many leaders focus on the one that generates the greatest benefit, and boosts the other two. Think about your own bosses, throughout your career.
