Let's Grow Leaders

When I ask managers where they regret not spending enough time, unequivocally, the number one answer is “Not spending enough time developing my people.” There never seems to be enough time, or resources, or support from above, or fill in your favorite blank here _. And yet when I ask managers to identify one thing they KNOW would improve their results, you guessed it… the same answer, “If only I had more time to develop my people.” Perhaps you’ve felt that way

True leaders at any level of the totem pole show their leadership primarily through managing their own emotions. After all, the only things we can control in life are our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and if we can manage those, we can lead our organizations from anywhere in the hierarchy. True leaders show emotional intelligence by learning about the science-based patterns about how our emotions work and how to manage them.

When I was in my sales and customer service executive roles, whenever I needed a pick-me-up, I would go talk to the new hire classes. They’re fired up, full of ambition, and ready to serve. “Raise your hand if you’re looking to be promoted into management” Every hand in the room goes up. Sadly, in many companies something happens along the way.

The beginning of a new year, coupled with chilly, wet weather that traps me indoors, always prompts me to revisit old friends—people, places, habits—with whom I’ve lost touch for whatever the reason. In rummaging through the bits and pieces of my life, I was delighted to rediscover my “7 C’s of Leadership.” Delight dueled with disappointment in myself for letting talking and teaching about the package of capability, character, cognition, commitment, compassion, confidence, and connection go unpr

It was a conversation that forever changed my vision of “ corporate leadership “, and put me on the more human path. It also taught me the immense value of an open heart and mind. The funny thing was, it wasn’t a chat with a boss, or a mentor, or a teacher that set me straight. It wasn’t a concerned friend or colleague who wanted to pass along helpful advice.

Take a moment and think of a leader you admire. Focus on how he/she interacts with their audience. Does the leader listen and provide undivided attention? Or, does the leader at times cut off the other person in the middle of conversation? Not to take any sides in politics, but former President Bill Clinton has the gift of captivating the attention of the person he is talking to by looking at the person intently like no one else is around them.

There is a change happening at the very top of the organizational hierarchy that, like a weather vane, reflects some of the fundamental changes happening across every organization and the marketplace they operate in. When organizations were hidden behind opaque operational fronts and top-down, one-way marketing, a leader was expected to play the role of an omnipotent god.

Curiosity is dangerous. Surely you know the phrase “curiosity killed the cat.” As a kid, I heard this from my parents time and again. I know now they were just trying to keep me alive.

I once worked with a CEO who was paranoid about results, so much so that he never cared for relationships with those who delivered the results. The end results weren’t surprising – the intended results were never delivered because people either stopped caring or moved on. The loss was almost irreparable. Leading in a complex world is almost like a tight rope walk and leaders cannot afford to have singular focus on either task or relationship.

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.

Since everyone in the room was a professional in the business world, it became clear that many – if not all – had worked for difficult managers at some point in their life. Several people expressed their opinion that “bad bosses” were doomed to always be difficult.

How to Get Out of a Rut at Work. By Scott Mautz. I often wonder why we’re called human beings. We should be called humans doing. Go, go, go, do, do, do – we are so caught up in our routines, our responsibilities, our commitments that we barely have any time to be, let alone become. It’s all too easy to get stuck in a rut at work (and in life), a state where we become complacent, where we don’t hold high hopes for things changing for the better or for our ability to affect that change.

The theory of a bell curve is that most people are average, with a small percent at the top being top performers and a small percent at the bottom being losers. But when it comes to performance, the truth is the bell curve only exists if you believe it does. Robert Rosenthal and Lenore Jacobson showed this 50 years ago. In their famous study, they gave students IQ tests to predict their ability to achieve and then shared the results with their teachers.
