'#48 Arrange for Peer Mentoring – A great way leaders can serve their direct reports is by making peer mentors available for those who want to improve in a specific area of competence or character. Select a mentor who is strong in the given area, and make the introduction. The mentor does not necessarily have to be someone at a higher level in the company, but should be someone knowledgeable about the area and willing to help others grow.

'It’s been almost 4 years now since my cable TV company was sold, and my wife and I packed up and moved from Stamford, Connecticut to Portland, Oregon.

The question of where ethics is headed has been the focus of my research over the last four years. I have learned that to be considered ethical, we must consider more constituents, honor more dimensions of ethics, and lead ethically through higher levels of complexity.

'Stop me if you’ve heard this one…. Three guys walk into a bar – a boss, a manager, and a leader. The bartender says “whadda ya have?” The boss abruptly orders a round of beers without asking the other two what they want. The manager asks how much the beers are going to cost. The leader inspires everyone to reach their full potential. Bad jokes aside, there is a difference between management and leadership.
