Character Is Destiny . . . What a Crock!

On Leading with Greatness ·

2023/12/14

The Ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus of Ephesus left us this morsel to ruminate on: “Character is destiny.” It’s a well worn and venerable saying, but, frankly, I just can’t agree with him, at least not in our common understanding of his meaning.Character is the first of the core elements of leadership—the 4 Cs—along with communication, compromise, and collaboration. Your character consists of your values, habits, beliefs, resilience, experiences, and everything else that drives or limits your

Cracks: Revealing the Way to the Truth

On Leading with Greatness ·

2023/12/07

In his soulful song “Anthem,” Leonard Cohen sings of the opportunity for wisdom that imperfection offers us:There is a crack, a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets inInstead of hiding these imperfections or hiding from them, Cohen offers a different course. The lyrics describe a wounded world where everything—good, bad, or banal—is fleeting. War, love, and even governments are ever coming and going like the day itself. This is a public episode.

What is the role of a boss? What if less bossing resulted in better productivity?Most bosses will tell you that they want to overcome obstacles, but what if I told you that the boss can be one of the biggest obstacles? The boss’s role, at its core, is to make it easier for the team to do its work and be successful. Sadly, most bosses are more concerned about advancing themselves, protecting their interests, and hitting arbitrary (and often counterproductive metrics, so the last thing they consider

How do you master the little things in order to make big changes?Two airliners take off from Newark Airport back to back and head due west. On one, the passengers are dressed for warm weather and sport sun hats. Their luggage is brimming with lightweight clothes and sandals. On the other plane, the passengers are wearing long sleeves and long pants.

Why are bosses so overpowered by the power of having power?Let’s call this phenomenon BUI, bossing under the influence, which, like its more familiar counterpart, DUI or driving under the influence, can have far-reaching consequences. While the drunk driver may cause vehicular mayhem, accidents, grave injuries, and even death, the boss under the influence wreaks their own havoc in the workplace and well beyond.You can think of it as drunk bossing, where bosses tipsy on power regularly cause anxiety

Further Mastering the Art of Compromise

On Leading with Greatness ·

2023/11/09

I must confess that my most recent post, which delved into the dark side of compromise, was difficult for me to write.It compelled me to dip into some of my past, which can sting. I do that a lot, though. The real challenge was crafting a clear, complete, and convincing argument. That’s the fun part, but I admit that in that piece I may have fallen short of my goal.

On the Dark Side of Compromise

On Leading with Greatness ·

2023/11/02

Leadership is pretty simple in concept. For instance, I'm an enthusiastic advocate of what I call the 4Cs – those four cornerstones that are indispensable for effective leadership: character, communication, compromise, and collaboration. I wrote about the 4Cs previously. Today I want to focus on just one of the 4Cs, the one that is a bit of a double-edged sword—compromise. This is a public episode.

Dysfunctional organizations always out themselves. Despite their attempts to compensate for their incompetence with apologies and small gestures, they can never get the fundamentals right. It’s like a boat with a chronically leaky hull. You can bail all you want with as many buckets as you can find, but that boat is going down. This is a public episode.

The Consequences of “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”

He then responded with a bit of cornpone that was new to me, drawling, “Well, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” I chuckled at the pleasantry and went right on fixing what was not broke. After all, “ain't broke” doesn't mean “couldn't be better.” This is a public episode.

Gut Leadership Is Good, but Brain Leadership Is Better

On Leading with Greatness ·

2023/10/05

Leadership is practically in my blood. From a young age, I have been thrust into leadership positions, and I had to rely on my wits to succeed. Nonetheless, I always was a pretty good gut leader.Leadership is a skill, and like any other skill you can be born into it, but it must also be learned. The thing with learning new skills, though, is that while someone can guide you through the process, they cannot teach you the actual skill. That only comes through application and practice.

Bosses Say the Darndest Things—An Encore Presentation

On Leading with Greatness ·

2023/09/21

The difference between bossing and leading is massive. Yes, of course, most leaders are bosses on some level, but very few bosses are leaders. Boss is a position. Leader is an attitude of greatness, whatever the position, which is why untitled (and unentitled) employees can be great leaders without being bosses. This is a public episode.

Picture this series of disasters! The phone rings, an email arrives, a report request lands on your desk, someone demands answers, dammit, answers! Welcome to the woeful world of the corporate addiction to urgency. It is as if urgency itself is an emergency—the crisis of urgency. But as I always say,If everything is a crisis, nothing is a crisis.In other words, once everything becomes equally urgent, there can be no priorities, and chaos ensues. This is a public episode.

Offer Your People Plenty of Rope

Rope is an incredibly simple but amazing tool. Imagine a world without it—no sails raised to harness the wind, no stones transported miles to construct the pyramids, the highest mountain peaks unscaled. For millennia, rope has hoisted laden pails from wells, secured the beams of modest dwellings, and flown our proud banners. Even laundry once relied on rope to dry in the heat of the sun.Like any versatile tool, however, rope has its dark uses. Rope can truss limbs—securing animals for the

How to Keep Your Boss on Their Toes

Driving my bosses bonkers has always been my specialty. What better way to keep them on their toes? Besides, I figure, what else is a boss there for?Way back in the 1900s, I was a professional set builder for a couple of major Philadelphia theaters. I was a decent enough carpenter, better than most, but my technique was somewhat unorthodox, which worked well in the quirky realm of theater. I was pretty happy with the gigs.

Questions: A Boss’s Kryptonite, a Leader’s Superpower

On Leading with Greatness ·

2023/08/10

Bosses generally hate questions because, in their narrow thinking, questions, even when they ask them, are a sort of trap. Bosses fear that asking questions may make them seem confused, ignorant, and weak. That’s why so many bosses’ questions are actually lightly disguised accusations or threats: “When are you going to get that Fluggenhopper report to me, Jenkins? Don’t you know I have an early tee time tomorrow?”But, let’s say an employee is the one asking questions. From the typical boss’s

Just Do It! … Like a Boss

You know the phrase “like a boss?” It was the liveliest, hippest phrase in English a few years back. But, alas, it suffered an untimely and completely meaningless death upon the 2020 release of the the megaplex mediocrity Like a Boss. Prior to that, the phrase was inescapable, but what did it really mean? This is a public episode.
