Lead from Within
AUGUST 20, 2019
At our weekly coaching session, my client was more serious and quiet than usual. When I asked what was wrong, he said, “Nothing.”. After a long pause, he asked me, “What is the best advice you would give to a leader who is a fixer?”. I smiled and reassured him that most leaders I know—especially the really smart ones, the really good ones—are fixers at heart.

I can’t count how many times I’ve heard business leaders, community leaders, experts, etc., talk on and on about servant leadership. It’s fascinating that we all talk about how much we value servant leaders, we want to be led by servant leaders, and strive to become one. Yet it’s still so rare to see it before your eyes in real life. . One of the most effective ways I’ve experienced to really put your money where your mouth is on this one is to actually go out and serve others.

Louie has had an annoying habit since the day I adopted him almost six years ago. I cannot train it out of him, and I cannot coax it out of him. It’s almost as if it’s in his DNA and he seems to be clueless about this behavior. What is the annoying habit? He walks right in front of me. On our walks, he usually stays beside me, but he will cross paths in a blink of an eye right in front of my feet.

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.
