Jane confided, “I feel like an enthusiastic puppy with all kinds of ideas and possibilities, but when I go to share them, there’s always someone who stomps on my tail.” John chimed in, “I know exactly what she means, everyone around here’s just so negative. I’m beginning to wonder why I bother.” Perhaps you’ve felt that way too.

Not long ago I was reflecting on a conversation that I had with my spouse. I thought that I had not been a very good listener in a conversation that we had about an hour earlier. Knowing that she was in the next room, I called out to her, “Stephanie, I was thinking about that conversation we just had, and I was thinking I need to apologize for not listening or giving you my full attention when you were talking.

I love leadership lessons that are backed by facts and history. Because they become what I call “ immutables ” – lessons that must be heeded to get to greatness. And there’s one immutable that has influenced me, and how I practice leadership, more than any other lesson I have ever received- and after 40 years of studying leadership, that’s saying something.

By Linda Fisher Thornton If we want to prepare leaders to handle complex challenges, we need to move beyond shallow approaches that focus on knowledge building. We need to help leaders learn to think deeply (beyond symptoms to complex, systemic causes) and broadly across disciplines as they work to meet the needs of multiple stakeholders. To accomplish this, the way we approach learning must change.

If you only care about next week’s results, bring in a User Manager. He’ll get it done. But watch out for the aftermath. You know the type– the kind of manager who works to win at all costs. The guy who’s “all business” or the woman who’s “got no time for that crap (meaning connection and understanding).” They’ve got their teams spinning, scared to under-perform.

I will be honest—it took me a while to catch on to the fact that the title “millennial” was referring to me and my peers. Until I really took the time to step back and consider how differently (and why) my generation worked and related to leadership, I saw my steps into the professional world as just more cogs turning in the business machine. But after a few years of working in a variety of environments, I am beginning to understand how different we twenty/early thirty somethings really are.

Few American presidents were more fun loving than Theodore Roosevelt. He hunted wild animals in Africa and, as a naturalist, started the U.S. Forestry Service. The Nobel Peace Prize winning president was a championship boxer at Harvard and the author of thirty-eight books. He occasionally skinny-dipped in the Potomac River after a strenuous winter nature walk.

One of the critical lessons I’ve learned in life - and it extends beyond the workplace - is the importance of respect. This may seem old-fashioned or trite in the days of, “I got mine, go get yours,” but if you treat people right, you will get the results you want. This is especially true in business. Respect still matters! Great leaders appreciate every job that is done well; it doesn’t matter whether it’s in the C-suite or the mailroom.

Can a company really “measure its heart”? As more human leaders, we instinctively know that there’s a strong correlation between a caring, connected and happy team and successful financial performance, but we also know that finding a way to measure and confirm that correlation is an essential part of sustaining (and even tightening) it over the long haul.

By Linda Fisher Thornton Leaders interpret "harm" according to the perspective on ethical leadership they are using to make decisions. They may consider harm narrowly (only what would harm them) or broadly (what would harm others and society). At its most narrow, harm could be interpreted as harming me or my company's profitability.

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.
