And the Winner Is

A couple weeks ago – in honor of my birthday – I asked you to send me your most creative suggestion on how to make it my best birthday ever. Thanks to all who sent birthday greetings and suggestions on how to make my day fabulous! Here’s just a portion of what I received: From Sandra: I think that

A Leadership Style Lesson

I wrote this article in 2009 before the Super Bowl (which will be obvious as you read it). The lessons apply as much today as ever. ……. Tomorrow is media day at the Super Bowl. You will be able to read about all sorts of things about all sorts of players and coaches. As a football fan,

My Love/Hate Relationship with Process Mapping

Spent some time this week (about 4 hours) building the first of two large process maps. This picture is just a small piece of the process we mapped for the administration of the Remarkable Leadership Learning System. It was a really good meeting (thanks to Andrea and Barb!). We got a lot done in a

Focusing Your Leadership Focus

My article in my newsletter Unleashing Your Remarkable Potential (please subscribe!) this week was titled 5 Leadership Actions to Kick Start a New Year. One of those actions was “find a focus.” As I was thinking about our focus or theme for The Kevin Eikenberry Group this year, I read a post from my very

The Power of Expectations

The Importance of Connections to Us as Leaders

In this 30 minute webinar, I talk about how we as leaders can benefit, the barriers we face, and

The Sad Lesson from Governor Blagojevich

By now you’ve likely heard about the evidence against the Illinois Governor. He is accused of, among other things, trying to sell of trade President-Elect Obama’s open Senate seat for personal gain. It’s sad. But it is a reminder for us as leaders. In my book, Remarkable Leadership, I talk about 13 competencies that lead to

When You Become a Leader Among Peers

Wayne Turmel, of Cranky Middle Manager fame, sent me a question the other day and asked me if I would answer it for his newsletter. (Make sure to subscribe). The question: I just took over a team Ive worked with for years. How do I show leadership without looking like Im ’taking over’?” My (short) answer:

Making the End of The Year Count!

It is November 26. There are 34 days left in 2008 – that is 9.3% of the year. But once Thanksgiving arrives, some people act as if the year is over. You know, there is the shopping, the parties, the events. There are the vacation days that remain, and those days off – Black Friday, Christmas
