Winning Well Connection. I really got to know Chery on our collaboration around the Energized Leadership book project. I admired her commitment and energy that led her to meet with us at 4 am to align with our time zone. She’s an adventurer with a kind and generous spirit. We truly enjoyed her amazing review of the story behind the story of Winning Well. .

In a world in which we expect the neighborhood ice cream shop to offer up at least 31 flavors, why do we insist on “fixing” people so their point of view matches one flavor—ours? Sometimes it’s maddening to be in a conversation with a fiercely-opinionated person whose thoughts are 180 degrees from mine. As we talk, I keep thinking about how narrow-minded the person is and how I could help them see the light if they’d only let me.

The following is a guest piece by Kate Rodriguez. One of the hottest themes in management and leadership today is the importance of understanding the introvert at work. The idea that workplaces reward extroverts has been around for a while. Discussions on the differences between those with outward-looking personalities (extroverts) versus those with inward tendencies (introverts) has been around for years – the concept was introduced by psychiatrist Carl Jung in 1921 – but it has reached fever p

Winning Well Connection Reflection. May comes to us from London. We first got to know May when she invited us to share our Winning Well message in her Career Mastery Challenge. We’ve enjoyed getting to know her and the important work she is doing in the world. These days, being a leader is about your behavior, not your title. So, every day you and I have a golden opportunity to be the leader we want to be – that best version of ourselves.

A Reel Leadership Article I believe everyone was surprised when the first movie in the Guardians Of The Galaxy series released. The movie did surprisingly well and movie audiences left the theater blown away. I know I did. When Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 was announced, I was stoked. I began praying Marvel would do the movie justice and Guardians Of The Galaxy would be just as good as the first.

By Linda Fisher Thornton I have noticed that when people speak from LABELS (their group identity, their belief system, their affiliation), they are talking from the interests of that label. This can quickly become divisive if that label doesn't include everyone. If a label is broad enough - like the label "human" - it can automatically be an ethical and inclusive conversation.

When you are marketing a start-up, there are two fundamental truths. The first is that having only a great product will not be enough to guarantee that you will be successful. The second one is that if your product is crap, there is no amount or type of marketing that will gain you a mass audience. If you want your start-up marketing to be a success, you need to have both a great marketing strategy and a great product.

A partnership is exactly like a marriage; if you don’t work on it, the chances of it lasting its first few years are very minimal. There are always highs and lows in a partnership, considering that partners involved are human, and some disagreements are bound to happen. But how do successful partnerships become successful?

Why do people hate networking events? Usually it’s full of people who are all talking small. “How’s business?” ” There’s a lot of people here.” “How’s the food?” “That’s a great tie.” Shoot me now. We all hate these events – executives, vendors, and business owners alike.

Working environments become more flexible each year, with business owners hiring temporary staff for seasonal or part-time positions rather than staffing up with full-timers. While hiring flexible workers can provide a number of benefits to companies, new challenges arise also. One large challenge is to create a comfortable and healthy working environment for those who will not work full time.

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.

T O CO-AUTHORS Angie Morgan, Courtney and Sean Lynch, to be a Spark is to be a leader. “You must recognize yourself as a leader. Know the pathway to leadership development and commit yourself to it. You’re not chosen to be a leader. You choose to lead.” When you behave like a leader you become a Spark. Sparks initiate action and create the conditions for success for themselves and others.

We cannot open a newspaper, turn on our computer, or flip through our feeds, before we find that someone has lied about something. Lying is both ubiquitous and consequential—but why do we lie? Science says we learn to deceive as toddlers. We rationalize the fabrications that benefit us. We tell little white lies daily that make others feel good. In one study, 60 percent of people lied at least once during a 10-minute conversation, saying an average of 2.92 inaccurate things.

Full disclosure: I have embarked on a rigorous program to be certified as a coaching supervisor, which was (and still is) a surprise to me, as you’ll soon read. I felt this was needed because there is a lot of skepticism about coaching supervision that I felt too – until I learned more.
