At first, I was worried. Might she have been in an accident? Taken ill? Ten minutes after the time our coffee meetup was supposed to start, a horrible thought leapt into my mind. Had I gotten the date or time or place wrong? A frantic scroll through sent emails confirmed I was in the right place, right day, and right time. I called her. She’d forgotten about our get-together.

“What do you do about the meeting after the meeting?” That’s a question I was asked recently in one of my Q&A sessions held after a corporate training event I conducted recently. I’ve been rolling that question around in my mind ever since, not because there’s anything particular unique about it. On the contrary, it’s because of how familiar the underlying answer I gave to this question is to another workplace problem I was asked about.

Guest Post by Hank van der Merwe With all the models and frameworks out there I sometimes wonder if we have taken the simplicity out of leadership. We seem to have a knack of overcomplicating leadership to the point where it seems so complex that it’s out of most peoples reach. Whether it’s about leading […].

The great temptation of leadership is giving answers instead of guidance. Experience makes answer-giving easy. But there’s an ego factor as well. It feels great to KNOW when others don’t.

These are the people that are thrown into their jobs head first. They typically know their stuff, but are lacking in certain skill sets that directly relate to their new responsibilities. Worse, they don’t get a lot of guidance from their bosses before AND after they take that dive. Sound familiar? This is the usual story for a first-level supervisor – the person directly overseeing the personnel who serve customers, make the widgets, or code the software.

You never bring out someone’s best by making them feel inadequate. You may not mean to intimidate others but you probably do. Intimidated people: Comply, but don’t bring their best.

Taken from the Introduction of The Art of Servant Leadership II by Art Barter. In The Art of Servant Leadership II, we offer a case study in transforming a company into a servant-led organization. It starts with individual leaders who are willing to begin the inward journey of transformation of heart and soul. They allow the servant leadership behaviors to renovate their hearts, and ultimately this transfers into their hands of service.

By definition a leader is a person who is a trailblazer, doing things that others don’t do, and often because they are the right thing to do. These don’t have to be heroic acts, and they are most likely small acts of kindness that are done daily. So think about it: when was the last time you showed courage? Moments to exercise your valor come every day, and often several times a day.

Guest post by Chad Littlefield and Will Wise: Vulnerability is natural. It’s human—so much so that the word “human” is often used to point out or help us come to terms with our vulnerabilities. So when we enter a new situation, we often search for something to protect us. If we’re at a party filled with people we largely don’t know, we’ll seek out the person we do, at least until we’ve adjusted and are comfortable mingling with others.

“Thought leadership” is a term used regularly in modern business, but it’s also easily dismissed as another marketing buzzphrase that’s best ignored. As a leader within your business, you know how important it is to be the person who can inspire, engage, and lead by example. So, why not extend that beyond the four walls of your organisation?

For many, thinking of leadership as a relationship is difficult. Too many people consider leadership a position, a role to play. Yet leadership is much more than the day to day activities you partake in to run your organization. Let’s take a surface level look at the relationship between leadership and relationship and then dig deeper. John Maxwell has a famous quote.

News last week made me sit up and realize the growing extent to which people today are suffering from a lack of deep connection with family, friends and colleagues at work. The research I’m referring to was released on May 1st by Cigna, the insurance company, as it announced that “most Americans are considered lonely.” Previous estimates of the loneliness of American adults were in the 26-40% range.

My wife is a big fan of TV cooking shows. You name it, she likes to watch it: IronChef, TopChef, Great American Food Truck, and MasterChef, just to name a few. Since she owns the TV remote control in our house, I’m pretty much forced to watch all these shows with her (I know, I should turn in my man card now!). Might it be I secretly like watching them as well?

Relationships Matter If you were to ask someone what their most important relationship is, the answer would most likely revolve around a family member. My relationship with my wife is most important to me. My children are the most important people in my life. Or I love and cherish my parents. But if you were to ask them how they’re creating strong family relationships, you’ll probably get a blank stare.

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.

Intuitively, many entrepreneurs and businesses believe that the key to faster growth and success is more products, features, and markets. Since we all have limited resources, and can’t add more hours to the day, the result is usually more things done poorly, rather than a few key things done better than anyone else. The message here is focus , reiterated by every adviser and investor.

With big name actors Paul Giamatti, John Goodman, Bella Thorne, Rosario Dawson, and Sylvester Stallone voicing the classic video game characters, Ratchet & Clank had the talent to make a blockbuster movie.

Among the most important is one that surprisingly is rarely mentioned: curiosity, the secret gift of creative people and successful leaders. Curious people have a beginner’s mind—empty, free, unbiased, and unoccupied with the baggage of trying to be an expert.
