Janice shared: I’d had enough: the gossip; the veterans scaring the new hires; more and more people doing just enough to get by… And I was frustrated because we’d done so much to foster employee engagement. I changed out some toxic leaders. We revamped our coaching program to focus on the positive. I’m here every Saturday right along with them.

When we think of a leader we all use the general definition of a leader: someone others follow, someone who inspires others to do what they want them to do. In business a leader or boss must make decisions that affect employees in many ways from wages to vacation time and more. If you have worked for more than one boss in your career so far then you know that there are different styles of leadership or management.

Becoming a leader is the dream of many. You want to be heard, to have people agree with you and follow your lead. But getting there is not just a question of natural talent. It is a matter of sacrifice. No pain, no gain, they say, and there is no difference when it comes to leadership. There will be tough things that you will have to do and change in yourself if you want to get there.

Great leadership lessons are the ones that stand the test of time because they become a part of who you are, and how you lead, every hour of every day. In my 34 years in the business world, I’ve been fortunate to have had a chance to observe and work with great (and not so great) leaders, to read many excellent (and not so excellent) books about leadership, and gain many years of experience as a leader (and now entrepreneur, startup investor, and business consultant) myself, through both success

Guest post by Ken Marlin: Leadership is one of those concepts that management gurus like to throw around. There are tons of books and articles on the subject. One article I read said that leaders look forward while managers manage what just happened. I don’t buy it: good leaders do both. Another said that leaders “influence” while managers “direct.” Nah … Leaders direct too—when their suggestions don’t get the desired result.

For many of us, the month of September presents the perfect opportunity to look back on the goals we set out for ourselves earlier this year and to assess how well we are doing in achieving those goals and more specifically, what should we be doing from this point forward to ensure that we successfully attain them. But if we truly want to feel successful in what we do, there’s another question we should be asking ourselves: are we focusing on those goals that really matter?

There is a saying that true leaders don’t create followers, but rather they develop leaders. They don’t add to the number of leaders, but multiply their constituents and are able to grow more leaders around them. Every company desires to have the formula to increase their leadership capabilities. I wish there were a secret solution. The reality is that growing leaders starts by showing people you care.

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.

“Be sure to schedule time every week for serendipity,” advised the conference speaker. “If you schedule it, you’ll make it happen.”. “Did she say to schedule serendipity?” I whispered to my colleague. “Sure did.”. Long a fan (and beneficiary) of the joy of accidently tripping into discoveries, the speaker’s counsel troubled me.
