I’ve written 640 blog posts and never had a response like I received from last Monday’s post, What Happens When We Really Listen. Notice I didn’t say “reaction,” I’m not counting up social shares or page views, I’m talking about real human beings from around the world reaching out in deeply personal ways. First was the executive who picked up the phone as soon as he read it. “I’ve never done this before, and I’m a bit surprised I’

Charles want a boat. Once upon a time Charles wanted to buy a boat. He approached his wife, Emma, with a list of personal expenses he was prepared to sacrifice to afford the boat. Emma took one look at his list and was not convinced. She was not on board with the boat idea. Not to be deterred, Charles paused and reevaluated his approach. After some thought he returned to Emma with a new plea.

Creating a workplace culture where people feel valued involves more than actively showing appreciation. It also involves eliminating behaviors that make people feel devalued. One of the worst culprits for making people feel devalued is disrespectful, condescending and rude behavior. Obviously, physical aggression is wrong. Less obvious is verbal abuse, especially if it is not clear that the instigator intended to harm the target.

The outdoor wedding on the water was beautiful, the bar was open and the line for the fanciest version of a port-o-pot I’ve ever seen was long. Which is why so many heard the screams of the little boy who couldn’t escape from the pottie on wheels. His cries grew more frantic as his dad and others tried to calm him down. “Lucas, it’s going to be okay… Just turn the knob… Please stop crying… ” Lucas stayed stuck.

Since I moved to Portland in 2010 I’ve become fascinated with a particular kind of business person – Oregon entrepreneurs. So much so, that last year I started to write nearly as much about them as I did about my first love, leadership. Those stories have appeared here, and in the online magazine we launched in late 2014, Built Oregon. What was it about these people that could have possibly pulled me away from my true north, my quest to find the best of More Human leadership?

Last week, I was teaching part three of the 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth at our company. As I was presenting, one topic, what came to mind is the “Do Not Do List.”. Like anyone, I often struggle as I work at overcoming some of my weaknesses in life. This is a daily challenge and I persevere to keep at it. So I thought it would be appropriate for me to write my blog on this topic.

The leaders who move to the top of their organizations are often those who are fast paced, focused on taking action, and results-oriented. Yet those very qualities can derail leaders who don’t pay attention to the needs of the people they lead. At some point if they continue on their action-focused trajectory, these leaders who have a bias for action might find that when they turn around nobody is following them.

One of the things that I enjoy about speaking at conferences and at various organizations is the opportunity to meet new people.

As a leader, you should always be concerned about two things – mirrors and windows. Mirrors are about focusing on personal responsibility. That part of leadership is important, and is honestly often discussed. But windows are equally important because they allow you to see the impact your actions have on the people around you. Windows are about focusing on relationships.

Guest post by Jeremie Kubicek You are a business owner. Your life is out-of-control, or that is how it feels at times. Some days you are connected with those you love and other days you feel so distant. Other days, you are so productive that you are amazed, while others you feel burned out because of over work. Does that sound familiar? That was my life for years.

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.

By Linda Fisher Thornton The pace of change is out of control in the workplace. Have any of you learned more than three new software programs this week? Have you had to deliver on deadline in spite of being completely new to a project? Have you struggled to get the attention of colleagues when you need their input, only to find that they are too busy to make the time to meet?

Agreement hinders effective decision-making. The bobble-heads that surround leaders may soothe the leader’s ego, but they harming organizations. They’re protecting their salaries. Agreement before dissent is a pathetic waste of talent.

There’s a host of reasons why great brands decay. High on the list is weak marketing, weak management, and weak strategic discipline. I could add a dozen more. I won’t. I will say that the crux of the matter is the incessant pressure on management to maintain or rediscover corporate growth. The ramifications are pervasive, and particularly pronounced in the food industry where giants such as Kraft, Kellogg’s, General Mills, and Campbell’s Soup seek growth another way, a seemingly easier way – by
