Your Starting Point for Trust

Pew Research recently published some research titled, Millennials in Adulthood. (You can read much more here.) I was made aware of this research from a piece in USA Today about college basketball players and trust when it quoted one small part of this research. The study used an often used survey question; “Generally speaking, would

The Remote Leadership Certificate Series

More and more leaders are leading teams that aren’t in the next cubicle, down the hall or right out in the shop or warehouse. We are leading people we don’t see every day (or almost ever). And to do this well is even harder than leading next door – because communication is harder, there are

More Than A Hobby

By David Green David Green started with $600 and created Hobby Lobby – the large chain of home and craft stores. A person who has had that kind of success is someone you could probably learn something from, and in this very readable book from 2005, you can. While I believe there are many management

Six Limits Leaders Need to Challenge

We all have limits – the boundaries beyond which we just don’t go. After all, it wouldn’t be safe. It wouldn’t be prudent. It wouldn’t be easy. We set limits for safety purposes, for logical purposes and sometimes as excuses. Limits are a part of life. But as leaders, we must be in the business

What The Best Leaders Will Learn From Peyton Manning (But Most will Ignore)

He’s won one Super Bowl, so far. He’s been the NFL’s MVP 4 times, set numerous records, and more are likely in his future. He was recently named The Sportsman of the Year by Sports Illustrated. And for the next few days will be among the most talked about and read about people in the

Ten Hats All Leaders Wear

As a leader, all day long you are wearing a hat. Not the kind that people might laugh at or that might smoosh your hair, but a hat nonetheless. For the next few minutes I want you to think of the various roles you play as a leader and different hats that you wear. While

Remarkable Q&A: Work or Learn?

Today I tackle a question that most of us can relate to: When I have to choose between “getting things done and off my desk” or spending timing reading blogs/articles/books that encourage and inspire me, which is the best use of my time? It’s a great question (thanks, Deidre!) and being stuck at the crossroads

Creating a Great Place to Work

It’s become almost an industry itself – judging organizational culture and creating lists of great places to work. The most recent I’ve read is from Glassdoor, as reported in FAST Company Online this morning. The findings and lists are worth reading, but perhaps not surprisingly, I want to talk about how we as leaders can

Your Best Just Got Better

You aren’t Santa, but if you are like me, more than once you have made a list, and checked it twice. In fact, having a to-do list might be the height of your productivity strategies. If that is true, I’d ask, “how’s that working for you?” If, as I suspect, you wish you had ways

Let’s Get Real

Today I am going to be a bit more in-your-face and blunt than I usually am here. Consider me as your favorite Drill Sergeant. You’ve been warned. Buckle up. Have you ever experienced a micro manager? Maybe you’ve called them something else. A control freak, a meddler, or a person who can’t let go. How
