Paper Covers Rock: The Amazing Power of the Open Hand

On Leading with Greatness ·

2024/05/02

Think of a clenched fist. What comes to mind? For most people a fist evokes strength, aggression, and even a touch of violence. A raised fist screams defiance and declares revolutionary solidarity. A fist shaken in the face? It’s a prelude to a fight. In our culture, fists are undeniably masculine. Men punch, and women slap. Or so we imagine.Therefore, it’s no surprise that bosses—as we conceive them—are more comparable to fists than open hands. Bosses want to exude an aura of toughness, an

How to Populate the World with Great Leaders

On Leading with Greatness ·

2024/04/25

People often think that leadership ability is something that you must be born with, like green eyes or curly hair, as if leadership skills spontaneously generate or derive from an inherited “leadership gene.” Leaders, though, are developed more than born.

Have you ever watched the 1992 cinematic classic Glengarry Glen Ross? If not, you’re missing out on one of the most intense and brutal takedowns of the modern workplace. While the homogenous casting dates it a bit, the film—based on David Mamet’s play—offers a high-octane drama populated by Hollywood heavyweights who greedily chew up the scenery.I encourage you to watch the film less as a commentary on masculine corruption and more as a workplace drama—a critique of modern office culture.

And Some Numbers Are Made up on the Spot

On Leading with Greatness ·

2024/04/11

Have you ever had a boss who valued numbers above all else? The kind of person who gets all bogged down in the minutia and can’t see the big picture? I had one of those bosses, the provost of a small university—in charge of all things academic—and I would have found his antics hilarious if the consequences weren’t so dire. Simply put, my boss never met a number he couldn’t misunderstand. This is a public episode. If you’d like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes,

A Tale of a Tub: Plugging the People Drain

On Leading with Greatness ·

2024/04/04

Jonathan was enjoying a quiet evening relaxing at home alone when he hit on the idea of taking a hot bath. “Nothing soothes those old aches and pains quite like a long soak,” he told himself as he filled the tub.Soon the tub was brimming, and a tantalizing mist rose from the water. Jonathan climbed in and carefully lowered himself, relishing the contrast between cool of the air and the steamy water. The tub was so splendidly full that it threatened to spill over. A little water even sloshed to the

2024/03/21

Effective delegation is a key skill for any decent leader. Even if things go sideways, choosing to entrust your team with tasks, decisions, and authority is always a noble move—that is, so long as they have the wherewithal, mindset, resources, authority, autonomy, and guidance to prevail. Few leadership practices will hone your skills quite like responsible delegation. This is a public episode.

How to Hire as though Your Workplace Depended on It

2024/03/14

Think of your worst job interview experience, and I bet I could match or top it with one of mine from my decades in higher ed. I could regale you with such classic tales as the college president who interviewed me while delirious with the flu or the school that put me through a grueling all-day interview only to announce at the end that they had always intended to hire an internal candidate. Come to think of it, both interviews were at the same college decades apart! I am not kidding! This is a

The Suspicious Mind of the Autocratic Boss

On Leading with Greatness ·

2024/03/07

Let’s talk about that most persistent of boss myths: that the tougher they are, the more effective they are. This nonsense is related to the “strongman” myth in politics, which assumes that authoritarian leaders are somehow superior at getting things done. There’s that tired line about how Benito Mussolini, the brutal fascist dictator of Italy known as Il Duce, got the decrepit Italian trains to run on time. Except he didn’t. What worked so well in fascist Italy wasn’t the rail system; it was

We Will Just Have to Disagree to Agree, Right?

On Leading with Greatness ·

2024/02/22

Let’s call Marni’s approach “disagreeing to agree.” It can go by a variety of names, but it is a powerful move in the leader’s playbook. Whether formal or informal, planned or spontaneous, or with individuals or groups, disagreeing to agree creates space for discussion and even arguments while insisting on the civil tone and mutual respect that team members deserve and that productive discourse demands; in other words, it allows and even encourages dissent and debate within the bounds of civility

When Workplace Bullying Is Actually a Feature, Not a Bug

On Leading with Greatness ·

2024/02/15

Bullying in the workplace is more prevalent than we probably like to admit, but we tend to view it as an anomaly—an isolated bug rather than a widespread feature.What if I told you instead that many workplace structures themselves encourage noxious behavior? What if workplace policies and procedures—even some of the ones that are supposed to foster a healthy workplace—provoke abuse and bullying? More often than we may realize, bullying is a built-in feature and not just a bug.Let’s sneak a peek

Leadership Myths: The Truth about Getting Things Done...

On Leading with Greatness ·

2024/02/08

One of the biggest leadership myths is that “leaders get things done,” a notion I find disastrously specious, as I discussed in my piece on steering clear of gurus.This misconception has led many to believe that tangible outcomes are the best or even the only hallmark of exceptional leadership.

I Can Change, I Swear. See What You Can Do.

2024/02/01

Change is inevitable. You’ve heard that before, but it bears repeating. Change is what happens while you are off planning for something else altogether. Birth is change. Life is change. Death is change, too. Change in itself is neither good nor bad, but everything changes for better or worse. Even stone changes. This is a public episode.

Impulsiveness is usually rewarded as though impetuousness is the best path to success.However, in the reality of everyday human existence, how frequently do we face such stark and immediate choices that demand instant action? And when we do act thoughtlessly in such situations, how often does it turn out a-ok? This is a public episode.

The Truth about Bully-Bosses, the Quintessence of...

On Leading with Greatness ·

2024/01/18

One of the most pernicious practices of the bad boss is bullying. From the monstrous cruelty of public humiliation to the comparatively elegant art of gaslighting, bully-bosses have a diverse arsenal of tricks. What sets bully-bosses apart from most other bullies is the control they—as bosses—exert over every aspect of the workplace. I know how to neutralize a colleague who tries to bully me, but a bully-boss is a different matter. This is a public episode. If you’d like to discuss this with other

The Assumption Audit: Challenge, Disruption, and Growth

2024/01/11

Yes, I had them do an assumption audit, an evaluation of ideas they unconsciously embraced. I gave them the assignment two weeks in advance so that they could stew over it. Also, we needed time to have an in-depth discussion about the meaning of “cultural assumptions.” After all, few people—particularly young college students—have ever contemplated such things let alone audited them.

Eb was in the middle of chewing out stupid Bob, who was on the verge of tears.Eb was furious at Bob for his constant nattering about Eb’s alleged neglect of the corporate mission. “What a lot of hooey!” Eb yelled. “The mission’s just a sap to sell more stock to do-gooder shareholders, or haven’t you figured that out yet!”With that he summarily fired Bob. “I want you out of here by five,
