Leaders new to a team have the unenviable task of getting results, building trust and establishing credibility. All the while they are learning their new role, and possibly even a new company. For some leaders, doing one or the other is attainable, but doing all simultaneously can be a daunting task. It can be a delicate balance at times, and giving attention to everything at once can be a bit overwhelming.

I recently spent a couple of days in New York. It was hot and humid, so I didn’t think twice being offered a ride in an open bicycle cart from Central Park to my hotel, which was approximately a 15 minute ride. I asked the driver to take the scenic road and enjoyed a last glance of the beautiful park, which added another 35 minutes to my New York experience. “It’s 35 dollars sir’ or at least that is what I have heard.

What if you assumed that those people who work for you are in fact doing their best? As leaders we are quick to judge those we lead and when they don’t fit what we think they should be doing, we often get resentful and angry. I believe that most of us are doing the best we can. Our challenge as leaders is to help challenge those we lead to grow into what is the next level of “best they can do.” If they are not willing to become the next best version of themselves, kindly send them on their

Leadership is a great responsibility – but with that responsibility comes something that we never really hear about in all of our education, training and preparation. And it’s something that can be destructive and damaging to our performance as a leader, and to our overall health and well-being, unless it is managed and controlled. That “something” is stress and anxiety.

The term “drive performance” is popular in a bottom-line, transactional world made up of managers and executives who lead through their positional authority. Yet over the years I have learned that leadership culture has changed. Driving no longer holds a favorable place, especially with Millennials. If you think about it, we drive cattle and cars; they have no say because “we’re in charge.

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.

Guest post from Dan Negroni : When we think of leaders and when we think of millennials, there are usually conflicting descriptions. We describe great leaders as honest, hard working, empowering, transparent, generous and so many other positive traits. Millennials are often described as lazy, entitled, selfish and so many other negative traits. However, after working with thousands of millennials, I can assure that these assertions about millennials are myths.

Listening is an important behavior that many of us fail to do well enough. We fail to listen not because we don’t hear but rather because we don’t care to listen to what we are hearing. In short, we don’t like what we are hearing, so we tune out. Listening is an act of respect; it connotes that one individual cares enough about another to listen to what he or she has to say.

Quality leaders are in high demand today in almost all areas of professional business, education, science, politics, and also generally in day-to-day life. Sometimes it can be hard to define what makes a good leader and whether being a leader is a talent or a skill acquired through work and experience. Without doubt, both these theories are valid and do not necessarily contradict each other.

While there is a need for thinking literally when learning the basics of a discipline, once we have the rules down, we can (and should) innovate to our hearts content. Then, creativity is based on substance. And while occupations such as music and art are often held up as the examples of creativity, management needs creativity and innovation in order to avoid becoming stale and stolid.

Several years ago, I was given the opportunity to lead a sales team. I’d been at the company for five years but had never tried my hand at management, so I thought, ‘why not?’.

Leading a team is something else entirely but comes hand-in-hand with management if you want to be a great boss.
