A guest post from Greg Marcus. Being a better person is easy in theory – do less of the negative stuff, and more of the positive stuff. The same holds true for leadership. The problem comes in when we either don’t know what we should do, or we do know but can’t help ourselves and do the negative anyway. When I was in the corporate world, I was very good at my job, and very, very arrogant.

Remember those yellow legal note pads? They used to be my constant companions earlier in my career, before PCs, smart phones, laptops, and tablets. (Yes, there was actually a time like that, as strange as it may seem now. And oh yes, that officially qualifies me as a dinosaur.). I would always be making “to do” lists on those pads. Some were short, and some were long.

Conflict has a bad rap. When I ask audiences what’s the first thing that comes to mind when they hear the word “conflict,” I usually get answers like, “run away,” “somebody gets hurt,” “I hate it,” “fighting,” or “war.” Most people have negative associations with conflict, usually from personal experience. Maybe it is from growing up in a home where conflict turned nasty and people got hurt.

Once your product becomes a commodity, you’re hosed. Even your once loyal customers start looking around for where they can get your offering cheaper, faster, or with less hassle. Most companies get this and take deliberate steps to differentiate their products. Sadly, as companies work to scale, one of the biggest mistakes I see is that they begin to de-personalize the customer experience in the name of efficiency. .

We hold leaders accountable for results; the buck stops with leaders. It is a leader’s responsibility to put people into positions where they can succeed. But so often that is not always possible. In my work as an executive coach of senior leaders — particularly ones who have been hired from the outside or are new to their roles — I always ask about “bench strength.”.

Leadership is not necessarily about getting people to follow you. In fact, the test of leadership effectiveness is what happens when you’re not there. If everything depends on you and falls apart when you’re not there, obviously the effectiveness of your team is limited because you can’t be there all the time. At times you might […].

Guest post from Bernie Swain : Leadership requires all sorts of qualities: judgment, character, confidence, an unshakeable commitment to a work ethic guided by a moral compass. But in order to lead others, people also have to lead themselves, a quality that is often tested during periods of adversity. I got to know many leaders in politics, the military, business, sports, and entertainment over the 30-plus years that I led the Washington Speakers Bureau, a company I co-founded and built.

Are your strategic planning practices flat and uninspired? Have you reduced your planning process to a once per year, budgeting exercise? Do your senior people feel disengaged and removed from your strategic planning? Does the rank and file even understand what’s in your strategic plan? Clearly, it’s time for a new strategic planning paradigm to emerge – one that features the right set of “ next practices ” that your organization can embrace to dramatically increase

As an employer, you know that striking the balance between being respected and being liked is a stunningly hard task. I would like to offer you a type of management that refuses this premise entirely. The most successful employers work with all their employees, and are often seated alongside their lowest tier employees. This model completely smashes the damaging hierarchical system that most companies have.

A lot of research has been done in the science of strengths and weaknesses. Most research tells us that we need to stay in our strength zones. And I’m a strong believer that we see the greatest results when we apply our strengths to what we’re doing. However, I’ve come to believe that we’re doing a disservice when we dismiss our weaknesses.

By Linda Fisher Thornton The "Keep it Simple" approach is good for many situations, but keeping it simple will set you up for failure in ethics. Using an oversimplified approach to solving a complex ethical problem just means you leave out variables you should be considering.
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.

L ast weekend I got to experience something I’ve always longed to do: Attend a comic-con. This one wasn’t a big convention like the San Diego or New York Comic-Con. It was a much smaller one that still packed a punch. While the Grand Rapids Comic-Con was smaller, walking the convention still took us 4 hours. As we walked the convention floors, I saw leadership lessons all around.

I f you’re a leader, the answer to this question is: Yes, people count on you. That’s a cornerstone of leadership. Your team needs to know you’re going to do what you say. However, we see many cases where leaders aren’t able to be counted on. They’ve left the building. You’re not that kind of leader. Are you? I don’t think so.

The most effective leaders work to create an environment that will stimulate, motivate and develop people—who in turn will bring their best to work. But many otherwise qualified bosses and leaders share a need to create chaotic cultures that keep everyone in a heightened state of anxiety.
