Pride is one of the seven deadly sins for a reason. It closes our minds to learning, makes us selfish, and jeopardizes our roles as leaders and successful business owners. But putting pride aside can help us in our endeavors to be better and more successful. Whether you’re hearing something new from an intern, an in-law, or a child, there are lessons to be learned every day from people you’d never expect.

As the clock starts to wind down on 2017, I’ve been spending some time reflecting on some of the recurring themes and ideas I’ve written and spoken about over the past 12 months. Among these various leadership topics and issues was the subject of finding a sense of purpose in what we do, a topic which also served as the focus of the TEDx talk I gave this past September here in Montreal.

M OST LEADERS (the less than great ones) can become afraid of learning their employees’ true feelings towards the company and its overall structure. In turn, they shy away from even initiating such conversations and asking the important questions. Strong leaders , on the other hand, happily ask these questions with an eye on making things better for their team.

There’s a restaurant in my neighborhood with this sign: “Good food takes time to prepare. Yours will be ready in a minute.” The restaurant is always packed. That sign- a form of self-deprecating humor—is a small but powerful example of what consumers and employees want: humor. Look around and you will see that business is slowly getting the idea that people want to have fun.

“Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.” ~Andrew Carnegie~. David had realized that departments in his company functioned as silos. Information was getting trapped rather than shared; the way communication was supposed to flow was unclear.

Guest post from Andy Swann: To develop great leaders, we need to develop everyone. In the modern world of work, being a leader doesn’t require a job title, it’s something any or all of us can take responsibility for. Sure, some of us agree to be tasked with it, but that doesn’t mean those are the limits of leadership in any given organization. Over the years, I have discovered many examples of instances where individuals and teams had taken the initiative to do something they believed was in the

I have to admit I struggled with writing this article. My publicist has been pushing me hard: “You’re a workplace motivation and culture expert and yet you’ve been silent on the sexual harassment revolt going on in the workplace!” She’s right. I write articles about things like how to engage employees when nothing seems to be working , or how to rekindle your own passion for work , and how to be happier at work (and in life) with speed and clarity.

How can you stay optimistic in the face of failure? Failure is a natural part of doing business, of being human, and of attempting to do things you haven’t done before. And when we fail, there’s a natural tendency to want to give up. It’s hard to stay optimistic. But before you pull the plug and succumb to a gloomy “it’ll never work” outlook, there are three questions you should ask yourself.

H OW FREQUENTLY do you think your employees laugh at work? In contrast, how often do you estimate that they feel bored or uninspired? Skilled leaders, those we call the “Stand-Up Strategists,” understand the utility of humor to address four important organizational outcomes , or the 4Cs: Community, Composure, Change and Creativity. And to address these four outcomes they typically use four broad styles of humor.

How To Get Out Of A Funk And Back To Yourself Is there anything worse than being in a funk? Being down and out is no fun. Not only does being in a funk impact the way you feel, being in a funk impacts those around you as well. When you don’t feel good, it is easier for you to bring down those around you. Your attitude worsens, the way you talk to others changes, and you become doom and gloom.
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.

I’m a pretty decent cook who loves to try new and sometimes unusual recipes. I always follow the step by step instructions – at least the first time I try a recipe. After that, I can improvise to make a dish that is my own. Oh how I wish great leadership were so simple that it could be condensed into a recipe. The truth is, that leaders aren’t just born (although they might be), and if they aren’t, they need learn to be great leaders.

One of the most distasteful activities leaders face is giving negative feedback to others. The reason? It rarely produces a positive response. No one likes engaging in activities that aren’t appreciated. Giving great feedback isn’t easy. It’s tricky, it’s not much fun and to top it off, none of us were born knowing how to give great feedback.

Throwing in the towel feels like relief when hope turns to disappointment. Sometimes the voice in your head says, “It’s not worth it.” Disappointment: Meaningful achievement includes disappointment. Hard-fought battles taste sweet but include frustrations, setbacks, and disenchantment. People disappoint. Good people leave. Bad people stay. Results disappoint.

In Jason’s most recent post , he mentioned the importance of setting rules for conflict. Based on what I see and hear in the workplace, conflict done well is a fairly rare thing. Many teams (and many leaders) don’t know how to do it well so they either do it poorly, or more commonly, they avoid serious disagreement at all costs. Disagreement is not only natural between people, it is also valuable.
