Leadership: The Rest Of The Story

Most people instinctively know what leadership is. In all of the surveys that have been done in this area people usually define leadership as either "responsibility" or "accountability." There is a huge difference between these two terms. In my career, I moved from a business where I was the "responsible one" to a business where I was to be "accountable." I had been given an irresistible jump I simply could not put aside. However, the shock was so great I felt I ha,

Lessons In Leadership

Have you ever tried to define leadership in your own words? My favorite leaders have always been an inspiration to me because of the manner in which they took responsibility for every area of their lives. These individuals never made excuses and were always accountable for everything they did.

Why is giving feedback hard for us? Probably because people think it,

Personality type naturally plays a role in ones ability to meet change head on. You remember the grid that I described showing Controllers, Promoters, Supporters, and Analyticals. The same grid, with a little change, tells a story about change potentials. Each type is perfectly capable of normal change,

Leadership Skill: Leaving A Leadership Legacy

Take a look at all the leaders who have left a positive legacy of organizational effectiveness, and what do you find. Breadth, depth, and talent. But what do they actually do? They develop themselves, they develop others, they develop big ideas, and they develop high performance cultures. They leave a legacy by leveraging their natural personality gifts to guide choices about acquiring skills and developing their organizations culture. One in which people have clearly define,

Change Management: Of Babies And Bathwater

The age of change in organizational thinking - sometimes called New Age management theory - is occurring in part because of the influence of the baby boomer generation. The previous generations flourished in the mass-production economy that grew steadily from the 1920s through the 1960s. It is no Oedipal coincidence that the next generation has done everything it could to trash the success of the generation preceding it. Organizations in the 1990s and 2000s are picking up ,

Centering Yourself and Staying Grounded: Finding Your Inner Mettle For Sustained

All leaders operate, more often than not, from three key answers. It is the sum whole of all three answers, that affords a leader their direction, and that allows them to stay grounded. This is what gives them a sense of centeredness and never-ending passion, both of which others gravitate towards for even greater leadership!
