I run into them in every company I work with. Solid managers with real contributions. They work hard, they’re incredibly loyal, and they’ve been on the succession planning list forever.

They’ve heard the pep talk so many times they can recite it in their sleep. 5 Behaviors That Keep You From Getting Promoted.

There is no job for life anymore. . Years ago, you studied, you went to college, you were a good boy/girl, you got a job, you worked in that job, you received raises/promotions, you retired with a pension, and you died. No more. It’s WAY different out there not only for millennials, but for all workers. The World Economic Forum has a new report out listing some of the areas of the world, industry and techniques to help workers succeed in today’s marketplace.

T oday’s post is going to be a very personal post. Why? Because I lost someone very special to me on Tuesday. I had to say Goodbye. And goodbyes suck. Monday, I awoke and life was normal. Pam arose early to let Lok outside and I stayed in bed with our boy Leviticus. Little did I know that this was going to be the last day I’d get to spend with him.

Unnecessary rules and excessive controls devalue people by making them feel that they are not trusted or respected. A leader who micromanages his people will not engage or energize them. Micromanaged employees are more likely to feel disconnected because it is a universal human need to have a reasonable degree of autonomy or freedom to do our work. When people have autonomy, they have a greater sense of control and experience personal growth as they develop new skills and expertise.

The following is a guest piece by John Rampton on behalf of The Economist Executive Education Navigator. When Daniel Goleman released “Emotional Intelligence” in 1995, did anyone think that this best-selling book would transform the role of leadership? After selling more than 5,000,000 copies and being dubbed “a revolutionary, paradigm-shattering idea” by the Harvard Business Review, it’s clear that Goleman struck a chord with business leaders.

Power and control, positional authority — we’re all familiar with autocratic leadership styles as these approaches have been around for centuries. And top-down, hierarchical leadership styles can still be effective for managing an organization, especially those that mass-produce specific products. Think about it: what would a company be like without top-down leadership to set goals and priorities, direct resources and operations, plan strategies, and make sure those strategies are being im

Let me take you back in time. You’re in 8th grade. You’ve signed up for your first guitar lesson and the teacher plays Led Zeppelin’s “ Stairway to Heaven.” She offers it up as an example of a great song that you can learn to play. You’re motivated to learn, right? Wrong! She no sooner finishes her sentence about “ you can learn how to play ,” when you hear Jimmy Page rips into his classic solo and you decide then and there that it’s t

There is no leadership, personal or organizational, without listening. In fact, ability to truly listen (and not just hear) is the foundation of having a conversation, building trust, influencing others, resolving conflicts, driving your vision, building relationships, implementing change and learning. Yet, many of us equate listening with absorption of what the other person is saying.

How Today’s Leaders Manage Culture Change. The scene was the 2016 ZurichFest, a three-day street fair that envelops the Swiss city every three years. Among the gazillion food tents, cavalcade of exciting rides, air shows, high wire aerialists over the LImmat River through the middle of the city, magicians and high divers was an amazing juggler. Not the usual balls or bowling pens, he was juggling sharp machetes and lighted torches.

It is my opinion that there are three types of individuals in this world: those who sacrifice their life for a noble cause or religious vocation, those who seek employment and climb the management ranks, and the entrepreneur. The latter creates opportunities and employs those who seek to climb the management ranks. This post specifically focuses on those who seek to climb the management ranks, whether consciously or whether it just happens.

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.

Guest post from Robbie Hardy: Guiding and driving a team to reach their highest potential while simultaneously meeting the revenue projections of the business can often be a serious juggling act. On the one hand, you want everyone on your team to be: challenged but not overwhelmed; curious but not confused; agile but not disorganized. On the other hand, there are deadlines to meet; costs to contain; changes and more changes to manage.

With everything that’s gone on and is going on in the world this year, it’s completely understandable if your fight or flight response has been on overdrive lately. As I’ve written here many times over the past couple of years, the fight or flight response is the effect of your body’s sympathetic nervous system working to protect you from a perceived threat.

“What we really need around here is a culture.” I’ve heard this dozens of times. You probably have too. In most cases, the blank is filled with “leadership” or “accountability,” but it can be all sorts of other things too: communication, collaborative, engaging, development-oriented, execution, work-life balance-friendly – you name it.

It’s the tricky thing about blind spots: Everybody has them, but often we don’t even know they exist until they cause a problem. All of us have blind spots, and most of us at some point have made a bad decision because of them. But when a leader has a blind spot, the repercussions spread to include the entire organization—and sometimes even its stakeholders and customers.

S ometimes it’s difficult to feel fulfilled as a leader when you are currently working as a manager. Sure, your bosses want you to be a leader (or so they tell you in your annual performance reviews), but real leadership involves having the freedom to envision the future and having the authority to make tough decisions that hopefully end up with results like “driving growth”, “reducing costs”, “streamlining operations”, or any other corporate buzz-phrase that sounds like you just stepped out of
