T HE ABILITY TO REINVENT YOURSELF is core to your success as a leader. The ground is shifting under your feet. The only way to stay relevant and therefore effective is to invest in building your skills as a leader. As you take on more responsibility, the demands on you as a leader change.

By Linda Fisher Thornton We know that to stay healthy, we have to move. Many of us wear wrist bands that track the number of steps we take daily to make sure we "stay in the healthy zone." I have been increasing my steps each year, and have enjoyed more energy and a sense of improved well-being. While we can easily track our physical steps, our mental steps are more elusive.

Encouraging team members to connect with their own experiences is central to the success of Experiential Learning.

Or, can you? The headline is arguably the most memorable line in the 1992 movie, A Few Good Men. The line by Jack Nicholson’s character echoes what we’ve found is a common blind spot among today’s leaders: An openness to hearing the truth. It’s clear that truth telling is not a core competency for today’s organizations, based on our research and studies like the Edelman Trust Barometer.

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.

In this month’s post, I consider the impact of change on your organisation’s brand. Are you hidebound by your organisation’s name? In any economy — local, regional, or national — your brand is everything. It is your reputation 24/7, 365, and it never switches off. However, does your brand work for you, or against you? Should it change as your company evolves?

Photo credit: 123RF. I teach leaders how to coach people in a highly experiential workshop where they get plenty of practice coaching each other before they leave the session. It’s always felt right to teach these skills this way because the participants walk out with some confidence that they can do something that doesn’t always come easy. This skill set is difficult to learn and sustain for many leaders, as it is counter-intuitive to what they often think coaching is.
