Janice shared: I’d had enough: the gossip; the veterans scaring the new hires; more and more people doing just enough to get by… And I was frustrated because we’d done so much to foster employee engagement. I changed out some toxic leaders. We revamped our coaching program to focus on the positive. I’m here every Saturday right along with them.

We have so much stuff swimming around in our heads; half-baked ideas, things promised to others and that ever-growing list of to-dos that require attention and feel ever-present yet are ultimately unachievable. This is because getting that stuff out is becoming increasingly difficult in a world full of distractions. I don’t proclaim to be immune to this, but a technique I discovered a few months ago has enabled me to greatly reduce the number of tangled thoughts in my brain.

“Terry my boy, what do you think?”. I had never been so prepared to answer that question, delivered by my boss in his typically theatrical way. I had been thinking about this question for a better part of a week. We were working on an important project, and there was a problem. A problem that demanded some original thinking. As the Project Manager, I had many hours of meetings with all the key players involved, and diligently forged a consensus on a proposed course of action – so we could pres

I start all workshops and coaching relationships with the discussion of Limiting Beliefs. Why? In life, we run into so many external obstacles. People, institutions, rules, regulations, and hierarchies all play major roles in our life. They get in our way, they make us stumble, we get frustrated, and we give up. They win. The more insidious of life’s obstacles are your internal obstacles.

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 ran across a leadership quote that I’d say was a little atypical as leadership quotes go. It got my attention because it was from one of my favorite movies of all time: The Karate Kid. No, not the remake. The can’t-be-copied-original from 1984. The one with Pat Morita as Mr. Miyagi and Ralph Maccio as Daniel Larusso. I absolutely loved this movie because it was about a kid like me, who got pushed around by the more athletic – and blond – big shot of a bully.

Passion may hurt you more than help you in your next argument. That’s a conclusion of new research into persuasion by a pair of university academics and reported by Shankar Vedantam of NPR.

This new research into persuasion really is confirmation of what all good leaders do when seeking consensus; they first seek to understand what the other i

For many of us, the month of September presents the perfect opportunity to look back on the goals we set out for ourselves earlier this year and to assess how well we are doing in achieving those goals and more specifically, what should we be doing from this point forward to ensure that we successfully attain them. But if we truly want to feel successful in what we do, there’s another question we should be asking ourselves: are we focusing on those goals that really matter?

Guest post by Ken Marlin: Leadership is one of those concepts that management gurus like to throw around. There are tons of books and articles on the subject. One article I read said that leaders look forward while managers manage what just happened. I don’t buy it: good leaders do both. Another said that leaders “influence” while managers “direct.” Nah … Leaders direct too—when their suggestions don’t get the desired result.

Let’s get one thing straight from the get-go: lose the word change “management.” You can’t manage change any more than you can manage the cycles of the tide and the phases of the moon. However, a leader can become masterful about thinking and acting in ways that are both strategic and tactical, upping the possibility for both buy in and relatively little disruption.
