My husband looked at me in bewilderment as I explained why I couldn’t buy that “perfectly good” house in the neighborhood with the great schools, close to his work, UMD where I teach, BWI airport, our church, and our gym. “I love the house. It’s a great community. But I just can’t trust that builder. If they hire someone LIKE HER as their sales manager, I question who’s running the place.

True leaders at any level of the totem pole show their leadership primarily through managing their own emotions. After all, the only things we can control in life are our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and if we can manage those, we can lead our organizations from anywhere in the hierarchy. True leaders show emotional intelligence by learning about the science-based patterns about how our emotions work and how to manage them.

Horrible meetings are a cliché of the business world, and with good reason. Many meetings are a waste of time and don’t accomplish anything. The minutes creep along while the meeting leader fritters away everyone’s time, people have meaningless conversations that don’t solve problems, and everyone is frustrated that they could be doing something more productive with their time.

Stress is increasing today as the world economy becomes more competitive and the explosion of information overwhelms individuals. The effects are felt not just mentally, but throughout our nervous systems. Human connection in the form of conversation and relational support provides psychological resources to cope with stress.

When I ask managers where they regret not spending enough time, unequivocally, the number one answer is “Not spending enough time developing my people.” There never seems to be enough time, or resources, or support from above, or fill in your favorite blank here _. And yet when I ask managers to identify one thing they KNOW would improve their results, you guessed it… the same answer, “If only I had more time to develop my people.” Perhaps you’ve felt that way

The beginning of a new year, coupled with chilly, wet weather that traps me indoors, always prompts me to revisit old friends—people, places, habits—with whom I’ve lost touch for whatever the reason. In rummaging through the bits and pieces of my life, I was delighted to rediscover my “7 C’s of Leadership.” Delight dueled with disappointment in myself for letting talking and teaching about the package of capability, character, cognition, commitment, compassion, confidence, and connection go unpr

The following is a guest piece from author David Amerland. There is a change happening at the very top of the organizational hierarchy that, like a weather vane, reflects some of the fundamental changes happening across every organization and the marketplace they operate in. When organizations were hidden behind opaque operational fronts and top-down, one-way marketing, a leader was expected to play the role of an omnipotent god.

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.

Recently, I’ve been reminded of a lesson that I already thought I had learned but which I find still bears repeating…and it’s a tough pill to swallow. Some time ago it was brought to my attention that I’m an innovator — the type of person whose ideas are generally pretty far ahead of the curve, before the market is ready for my innovation.

Leadership development is not just for grown-ups. If you’ve been with me for a while you know how passionate I am about this. Most of us take a deliberate approach to developing other skills in our kids early on: we teach them to swim, to ride a bike, to read, and read music, as early as we can. Leadership development should be no different. The earlier we can ingrain these skills, the more natural they will feel.

Take a moment and think of a leader you admire. Focus on how he/she interacts with their audience. Does the leader listen and provide undivided attention? Or, does the leader at times cut off the other person in the middle of conversation? Not to take any sides in politics, but former President Bill Clinton has the gift of captivating the attention of the person he is talking to by looking at the person intently like no one else is around them.
