If you want something, ask for it. Pretty simple, eh? Actually, it’s not. Many people run into external (and more frequently) internal obstacles. Even though more women are affected than men, it’s not just a woman’s thing. Many men also run into the same obstacles when direct requests are required. Why does it happen? Why do we shirk from being direct with a boss, colleague, or client?

One of my clients once defined it as what employees do when everything else is stripped away or what they do when no one is looking. Twenty years ago, corporate or business culture sort of just happened…good, bad or indifferent. More recently, executives have learned that creating a customer-centric culture can lead to a huge competitive advantage.

We could all become better listeners. Most importantly, leaders must learn to really listen. Really listening means: Waiting for other(s) to finish speaking before speaking. Keeping the focus of the conversation away from yourself. Asking open ended and non-judging questions that are relevant to the conversation. Giving advice sparingly, if at all. Noticing emotional cues in body language and voice tone.

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.

Whether you’re a CEO, a vice president, director, team leader, neighborhood association leader, or parent, you can become a much more effective leader if you keep yourself on track.
