Have you ever had a supervisor who congratulated you for doing something that you knew wasn’t praiseworthy, or worse, something you knew actually made things worse in the long run? Or have you seen a peer recognized for their “great work” only to find yourself secretly muttering “If they only knew?” I see this happen all the time.

Welcome to the March 2017 edition of the Leadership Development Carnival! Do you as a leader find it difficult at times to be bold or to awaken boldness in others? I was noticing the theme for this year’s International Women’s Day (March 8) , #BeBoldForChange, and it occurred to me that boldness is often in short supply. From another angle, sometimes we have the responsibility of helping someone shape their boldness into realistic action.

As a long-time student of more human leadership I love to chat with other leadership and business thought leaders and teachers, because there’s always something new to learn that can make a difference. Recently I was introduced to Andrea Garfield by a mutual friend, and our subsequent conversation was so interesting and valuable that I just had to get it on tape and share it with you.

These days, it seems like the world is facing scarcity in a wide range of areas – from something as basic as access to food and clean water, to something more personal as a lack of time to get through our various daily tasks. But if there’s one area where there’s no concerns about scarcity these days it’s passion. Whether it’s discussions about politics, social issues, or even the latest movies or TV shows, there’s no doubt that there’s a lot of passion – and

Guest post by Paul J. Zak, PhD : One-third of business leaders surveyed in 2015 said that retaining colleagues is their number one concern. Everyone knows that people are mobile. About one-quarter of employees say that they will look for a new job in the next year. Some are chasing a higher salary, but nearly equally important is the desire for a better opportunity inside or outside their present company.

For almost 10 years, I’ve been writing about leadership and in that time, perhaps one of the most significant shifts I’ve seen has been the willingness to recognize that the key to our success as leaders stems from the relationships we foster and nurture with those we lead. That we no longer view employees through the lens of Fredrick Taylor’s scientific approach to management – where people are merely assets, and interactions are transactional in nature.

There are various job titles such as; Chief Security Officer (CSO), Chief Risk Officer, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), V.P., IT Security, V.P., or Director of Information Security. Regardless of titles or functional position, the lead role in a security organization is expected to wear many hats and solve a myriad of strategic, operational and tactical problems.

According to Gallup’s recent 2017 study, 70% of employees are not engaged at work. And countless studies have shown that the number one predictor of employee engagement and satisfaction is the relationship they have with their supervisor. So what do the best managers know about disengaged employees? Today I share a story from one of the most disengaged times in my life, and how my leader helped me get through.

I teach coaching skills to leaders. When I get to the section on how to ask questions (an important part of learning to coach) I might ask a trick question to start off: “How many of you are good at solving problems?”. Without fail, almost all hands shoot enthusiastically into the air. There’s nothing wrong with being good at problem solving. Except when it gets in the way of preventing the people you lead to learn and develop.

Meet Sam. Sam is an experienced leader who just joined a new company. He’s not new to leadership, but to this organization he’s practically a freshman. In Sam’s first 90 days on the job he’s already made a big impact. The bad kind. Where did he go wrong? He made mistakes common to many freshman leaders. Being new in a company is like being a freshman in school all over again.

The following is a guest piece by Inc. columnist and NYU Adjunct Professor Joshua Spodek. People who aspire to lead look upward in a hierarchy to find power and authority they can grab onto to pull themselves up. That’s why they’re still aspiring and not leading. People above them can sense their craving, which they can motivate them with, which makes them followers, not leaders.

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’s the last time you had a really great one-on-one with your boss? If your answer is anything but “in the last 2 weeks,” you’re not alone. A great cadence of good one-on-one meetings is unusual. Why? Well first, everybody’s busy. It’s easier to cancel a meeting with a direct report than with your boss. Or perhaps, your one-on-ones drag on, lack preparation, or generally feel like a waste of time.

One of the most important qualities of a leader is the ability to develop others. When they invest their time and effort, they can help the organization multiply leaders. Because leaders develop other leaders, while they are in their leadership journey, they continue to learn and improve themselves and at the same time develop their people. Leaders multiply the capability of the organization by multiplying talent, however it is important to note that, although numbers matter, quality is even mor
