“Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it’s thinking of yourself less” -C. S. Lewis Is humility teachable? Is humility developed by nature or nurture? Am I really audacious enough to write a post on teaching humility? Apparently yes. Let me add a caveat. I don’t have humility handled. I have the best intentions, but [.

Why do people react so strongly when they don’t have a voice in decision-making? Research suggests there is a rational biological basis for this reaction. It comes down to this: feeling that we have little or no control is detrimental to our health. The famous Whitehall studies in the U.K. established that there was an inverse relationship between level of hierarchy, power, control, status and cardiorespiratory disease/mortality rates in members of the British Civil Service.

By Mike Myatt , Chief Strategy Officer, N2growth. Have you ever wondered why organizations tolerate dysfunctional leaders? The answer is dysfunction is so prevalent it’s often not even recognized as problematic. Many corporations just desire leaders to go along and get along more than they desire them to lead. It saddens me to articulate this next thought – corporate leadership is rapidly becoming an oxymoron.

Often the words collaboration, coordination, and cooperation are used to describe effective teamwork. But they are not the same, and when we use these words interchangeably, we dilute their meaning and diminish the potential for creating powerful, collaborative environments. Collaboration has been a big word in the news lately, most recently due to Marissa Mayer’s explanation of her decision to bring Yahoo employees back to the office: “To become the absolute best place to work, communication an

Tipping Sacred Cows by Jake Breeden is one of those bring-you-back-to-reality must-read books. It is about how we undermine ourselves and our organizations and get ourselves into comfortable ruts, by blindly following seemingly virtuous traits. It’s often about taking our strengths too far or misapplying them. Our values give us life and direction on one hand, “and on the other hand can steal our energy, effectiveness, and success.

Leaders, if they are to live up to their role as those who “show the way”, need to do a lot of talking. However, there’s a trap door lurking on that speaking platform, and if we fall in it, we can take the teams we lead down with us. The trap is simply this: We do more talking than focused listening. I know, it sounds pretty simple.

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.

Self-inflicted frustrations when leaders don’t adapt to new circumstances. Leaders want to change circumstances rather than changing themselves.
