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.

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.
