Nail Your Next Job Interview By Showcasing Your Unique Value. I get frustrated and sad when I see highly qualified people unable to sell themselves in a job interview– particularly when they seem to be so qualified. It happened again, perhaps you know someone who can benefit from this story and the actions that followed. Meet Me in St. Louis.

The longer you’re in a leadership position, the more decisions you will have to make. These decisions… They’re not always going to be easy. In fact, many of the decisions you’re going to make as a leader will be uncomfortable. Your decisions become uncomfortable when they impact the livelihood of those you lead, the organization’s health, and more.

Executives are the best business leaders in the world. They are subject matter experts in their field, the brightest minds, and equipped with the immense technical skills and experience to be at the helm of the world’s most powerful and disruptive companies. The truth is that even these world-class leaders have room to grow and can find ways to identify their weaknesses, optimize their performance, and become even better leaders.

A common dilemma for the leaders I work with is that, in spite of their best intentions to operate at a big picture strategic level, they find themselves regularly getting pulled into the weeds of day-to-day details that really aren’t the highest and best use of their time and attention. Honestly, sometimes they just go there – no pulling required. That leads to an age-old question: How do you stay out of the weeds?

Why Gallup Question 4 Matters: “In the last seven days, I have received recognition or praise for doing good work.” When employees come to us venting their frustrations that their boss doesn’t value or appreciate their hard work, it’s usually not about who got the plaque in the end-of-year meeting. Of course, the time you spend on getting your formal employee recognition right matters.

Over the course of delivering numerous leadership keynotes and workshops this past year, it’s been interesting to see what themes leaders are looking for answers or guidance on. On a personal note, it’s also been gratifying to return once again to delivering these sessions in person and not just virtually.

How do leaders use failure to thrive? Too many efforts with potential game-changing outcomes are short circuited by the fear of failing; people with huge ideas become paralyzed by “what ifs,” unable to see past the challenges of today. Shift your perspective and use failure to thrive.

Scientific research shows that human beings are not always good at evaluating the true qualities of leadership, and are even occasionally attracted to the arrogant confidence that some leaders exhibit. Arrogance is often a sign of weakness, and people who display it create toxic workplaces and make decisions that put others at risk. Photo by Dragos Gontariu on Unsplash.

Most organizations set goals. And the teams in those organizations either set theirs or are handed them based on those organizational goals.

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.

It’s perhaps fair to say that the rise in social media has made the behavior of firms and leaders, and the subsequent criticism of them, much more readily available, which as well as providing a welcome voice for previously under-represented groups, also encourages leaders to toe the line and act better. This can make the cost of ethical failure much higher than it would otherwise have been if unethical behavior was not flushed into the open.

Hierarchy often gets a bad rap, but it clearly has certain benefits. Research from George Mason University highlights how problems emerge when the distance between the base and the tip of the pyramid increases, tensions can arise between the various tiers, and obstacles to effective decision-making emerge. That the perspective of those at the top and those at the bottom differs so much can often make it extremely hard to find common ground.

Nine-year-old third base player, Juan Miguel, fielded a ground ball and tried to tag a runner going from second to third base. The umpire, Laura Benson, called the runner out, but young Juan immediately ran to her side and said, “Ma’am, I didn’t tag the runner.” Umpire Benson reversed herself, sent the runner to third base, and Juan’s coach gave him the game ball for his honesty.

During the pandemic, traditional gender roles seemed to be reinforced. For instance, one survey found that twice as many girls reported doing extra household chores, such as cooking for their family, as boys did. This extended to cleaning, shopping, and looking after siblings. Research from the University of East Anglia highlights how this divide contributes to the gender pay gap later in life. “Unequal participation in household work starts at a young age, widening differences over time s
