Her call touched me deeply. She was trying so hard… to establish the right vision, to key in on the important behaviors, to scaffold and develop…and her team just wasn’t listening. Perhaps you’ve been there too. You’ve got vision. You care deeply. You teach. You repeat yourself. But no one seems to “get it”? Here are ten questions worth asking when you hit that wall– when your team is just not listening.

On paper, and in your head, you have the best team in the world – and yet, things are not clicking. You feel like you have the “ right people on the bus “, but right now, it’s just a bus going to nowhere. What to do? First off, you are not alone – this is a classic dilemma that has spawned a ton of books, studies, white papers, seminars, webinars and head scratching that have attempted to discern the core issues and solutions.

If I asked you what qualities a great leader has, chances are you’d mention traits like intelligence, vision, and determination. While these are certainly important to have, research shows that softer qualities like being sensitive to others’ feelings and listening well are just as, if not more so, important. Theodore Roosevelt put it well when he said, “No one cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.” Being able to care and be in tune with other’s emotions as well

I believe that when we stretch ourselves in one part of our lives, that stretch shows up in other parts of our lives. That is why I encourage leaders to do things that expand and hone their edges, whether it is in work, life, or play. In Keeping My Edge , I share how challenging myself on really difficult ski runs in the mountains keeps my performance edge in many other areas of my life.

What makes an organization sufficiently resilient to survive over a sustained period of time? In 1983 Royal Dutch/Shell Group studied 27 companies that had survived more than 100 years, were still important in their industries, and continued to have strong corporate identities. One key finding was that leaders of these organizations believed it was important to leave their organizations in as good as or better shape than when they became leaders.

For years many of my clients have struggled to sit down and get to work when they really, really don’t want to (which is most of the time). Most are managers, entrepreneurs or in sales and they have the option of subtly putting things off and procrastinating, and often the urge not to work and surf online instead can be powerfully strong. I call that MASSIVE PROCRASTINATION.

A few weeks ago I was jamming to the radio while traveling to a meeting. Paused at a stoplight, I glanced at the car to my right. The driver met my eyes, shook his head, and made the cuckoo gesture. I smiled and kept on singing. Had this situation occurred early on in my personal journey, I would have responded very differently. Feeling silly, self-conscious, and embarrassed, I would have prayed for the red light to be short.

Guest post from Suzanne Bates: When I started my first career in television news so many years ago, the term “employee engagement” had been invented. But it was irrelevant to me. I was jazzed about going to work every day. Nobody had to give me a speech about going above and beyond. I worked hard, stayed late, and gave my all, because I was on a mission to excel in my career and do something that mattered.
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.

When I was young the song “ Que sera sera ” (meaning, “what will be, will be”) was a popular and catchy tune that my mother sang to us as children. It speaks of not worrying about the future and instead letting what happens, happen. As I’ve grown up and know the trials that leaders go through with ongoing organizational change, I’ve come to appreciate the power of “what can be” in envisioning a better future.
