If you think leadership is about you, your ego has led you astray. Leadership has little to do with you and everything to do with those you lead. If you think leadership is about the bottom line, think again; it’s about the people. Without the people there is no bottom line. Closely examine the core characteristics of great leadership, and you’ll find it’s not power, title, authority or even technical competency that distinguishes truly great leaders.

It’s a question that has perplexed me for many years: With the wealth of leadership wisdom available, why do we continue to struggle to lead well? Why do employee engagement rates continue to hover around 30% despite the obvious advantages for leaders who choose to lead well? The more time I spend with managers and leaders, the more I see three reasons aspiring leaders struggle: They don’t know how.

Connection is a bond based on shared identity, empathy and understanding that moves individuals toward group-centered membership. It’s an essential attribute of successful teams, departments and organizations. Groups with a high degree of connection have an assertive communication and leadership style. Being assertive means you speak and act in ways that reflect honesty and integrity, i.e. you say and do what you mean and don’t try to manipulate others by moving against them or moving away from

Organizational change is inevitable. Like all living things, it’s vital that organizations regularly adjust in order to accommodate the ebb and flow that goes on within the ecosystems in which they thrive. Every so often, though, a “Big Change” is needed to better position an organization for long-term success. In those times, proper preparation is required.

“It can’t be done”. “You can’t do that”. How many times have you heard these words? Plenty of times, I bet. And, how many times have you said those words? Stop and think about that for a second, and then consider this: “Can’t” is a big, fat, stop sign designed to sabotage a dream. Perhaps a better question we should ask ourselves is this – why are we hearing and saying that word in the first place?

You know that asking the right questions will make you a stronger leader. But it’s hard. Not all questions have the same impact. And it’s risky, you never know what the response will be– which means you need to stay fully present to be helpful. “When you ask a question you’re giving up some of your power. It means you’re willing to sit in that discomfort for the good of another person’s growth.” -Michael Bungay Stanier.

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.

Assertiveness and empowerment can cause real problems when overused or applied out of context. They become maladaptive responses — just like anything taken to its extreme. Does this influence the effectiveness and maturity of your leadership? An epidemic of entitlement, irresponsibility and self-absorption. Can you relate? Coworkers can’t make decisions.

We’ve all been there – when you are there but you’re not really there. You may be physically present but your mind and energy are elsewhere. Believe me, people all around you notice. And it happens far too often. A Harvard study showed that our minds are not focused on what’s in front of us a whopping 47% of the time, and in these times, our happiness level is at its lowest – a wandering mind is not a happy mind.

Most leaders have the best intentions to get better at how they lead others. The problem comes in when they actually lose track of the fact that intention isn’t enough – there are actions that need to be taken in order for them to realize their goals. Think of New Year’s resolutions: the percentage of people who make and actually achieve their goals is only 8%.
