Do curious leaders manage relationships, and therefore change, more effectively? I am a curious leader, and I reflect daily and journal on various situations I encounter to understand how I might become better at what I do and, more importantly, who I might become. It is a trait first taught in my student years in the mid-1970s, which I then developed and polished over successive years.

Soft skills are increasingly important in creating successful leaders Guest post from Gary S. Shamis: One of the most gratifying experiences in writing a leadership book is the introspection youallow yourself in the process. You are able to hold a proverbial mirror to your successes and failures, and view them both more objectively. If you are honest with yourself, the experience can yield a treasure trove of teachings.

Lead from Within

Confidence is one of the most important leadership skills you can have—but it isn’t always easy to come by. Confidence is grounded in your perception of your own abilities and how you come across to others. If you’re constantly comparing yourself to others and feeling that you’re coming up short—not smart enough, not successful enough, not advancing quickly enough—you can quickly spiral into self-doubt.

I’ve seen it so many times. Most likely you have also. It is tragic. A leader can be doing everything else right and yet one flawed mindset overshadows and jeopardizes all the good leadership principles he or she knows. One constantly repeated action. One trait. One habit. One mindset. Sadly, many times it’s not even that the person isn’t a good leader – it’s the one mindset that gets them off track.

I’ve noticed lately I no longer enjoy my walks with my rescue pup, Louie. It saddens me to share that publicly, but it is the truth—a truth I had to take time to explore and understand. I love to walk because I enjoy the outdoors and because it’s an excellent way for me to exercise. I also enjoy seeing my neighbors and getting a chance to catch up with them.

I think we can all agree that business is changing and, as a result, the role of leaders is changing. No longer are leaders just expected to direct the business, sometimes at all costs, to achieve results. Today, leaders need to be able to combine operational business expertise with high levels of emotional intelligence. Leaders need to be compassionate and empathetic if they are to create high performance teams that thrive in today’s VUCA world.

There’s an unfortunate club out there: a club of women who thought that being ‘nice’ and ‘working hard’ as a young professional would pay dividends later on. Many of us were incredibly disappointed to learn this wasn’t true. Instead, we encountered a seemingly impenetrable club—often based on gender, but not always—requiring more political savvy to navigate than we ever expected to need.

This is the time of year when a lot of the leaders I work with are buckling down to write up annual performance reviews for the people on their team. This is a process that almost no one enjoys – neither the reviewer or the reviewee. Seriously, do you know anyone in any role who looks forward to an annual performance review? There are a lot of reasons why annual performance review processes usually suck.

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.
