By Linda Fisher Thornton As a leadup to a keynote I'm doing for the Michigan Association of School Boards, I was invited to submit a feature article for their fall issue of the MASB LeaderBoard.

It’s interesting to me how trends come in waves when I coach executives. Lately, the trend has been leaders asking, “How do I get my team to think like me?” The question has come from members of senior leadership teams, individual senior executives, and mid-level leaders. In other words, it doesn’t really matter what level the leader is operating at, pretty much everyone lately is asking the question.

I was recently reading an excerpt from John Maxwell’s book Developing the Leader Within You. In one of the chapters, he writes about the difference between image-building and integrity-building. These questions really struck me. I believe integrity is the key to being a great leader. The outward appearance, looking good, and other actions aren’t what make a leader.

“What we really need around here is some accountability.” Have you ever heard these words? Maybe you’ve spoken them yourself. If so, you were probably really, really right!

Covid has really challenged our opportunity to find joy in our life. We’re really talking about those things that are present in our life already…and the opportunities exist. But, if we’re not actively looking for them, and we’re not seeking them, sometimes they can pass us by.

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 a recent article , I wrote about research showing that support for populists rose in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. Such crises tend to create clear divisions between an in-group and out-groups, with defenders of the in-group tending to be vocal defenders of resources that they suggest are being taken by the out-group. This was reaffirmed in a second study from the University of Michigan, which found that the competition for resources was key to determining support for populists.
