The Ear Is Mightier than the Mouth: The Messaging...

On Leading with Greatness ·

2023/07/27

Let me tell you about this truth my friend Jeff laid on me a few weeks ago. Jeff is a serial entrepreneur and all-around wise man, and he observed, “in any communication, the listener has all the power.” That profundity has been tumbling around in my head ever since. It’s a great way for leaders to think about communication. When it comes to a delivered message, the ear has it all over the mouth. This is a public episode.

Manufacturing Authority Using Radical Transparency—An...

On Leading with Greatness ·

2023/06/15

How can you use radical transparency to manufacture authority?Responsibility without authority is a mess. If you are a boss, never ever put anyone in that situation. Never. If you are stuck with a crappy boss who subjects you to such abuse, consider embracing the mess and turning your greatest disadvantage into an advantage by owning it. Radical transparency — openly sharing your vulnerability — can be a powerful tool to win friends and allies and self-generate authority while keeping your integrity

What Is Wrong with Bosses?—An Encore Presentation

On Leading with Greatness ·

2023/06/08

It is high time I come clean. Why am I always ragging on bosses in my essays? It’s not that I hate every boss. After all, I was a boss, and while I am sure a few of my people would argue I was just another bad boss (and sometimes I was), I always strived to improve and had evidence that I did so. As I became more experienced as a supervisor, I tried to assure that I was a whole lot better at leading than when I started, but I also knew I could be much better still.And that’s the thing. Bosses can

The Game of Risks

On Leading with Greatness ·

2023/06/01

My best friend when I was about 12 was a boy I’ll call “Randy,” which rhymes with his real name…which was not Mandy or Candy or Sandy. Randy was a total nerd, which suited me since I was too. He had some quirks, though, that even I couldn’t tolerate over the long haul. One of his worst foibles was his cheating when we played games. It didn’t matter the game or how many people were playing. If Randy saw an opportunity, he would cheat and then just deny it when caught. I even saw him cheating at

Where Bosses Prevail, Employees Fail

2023/05/25

How do you handle mistakes?Recently a friend told me about a situation she had with her employer. I’ll keep it vague to protect the innocent (and, by extension, the guilty I suppose). My friend had a question about how to proceed with with a task. She has two managers, which is structurally a bad situation from the get-go. One is conscientious but overworked and beleaguered. The other is overbearing and unapproachable. Their areas are entirely separate from one another, but both equally supervise my

The Scars of Scarcity Run Deep

On Leading with Greatness ·

2023/05/18

The last college I worked at had a scarcity mindset that affected every decision large or small as mindsets do. It was the result of a pretty severe financial crisis from years before and the drastic emergency measures put in place to offset the losses.Whenever someone wanted to oppose an idea (or impose another draconian cut), the budget was the go-to argument. There was no arguing with the budget. This is a public episode. If you’d like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus

A True Confession

2023/05/04

I have a confession to make. It is one I don’t lightly admit in public. There is something about me that sets me apart from most of the people in America, Europe, and throughout much of the world you know. My secret behavior is likely to make you think much less of me.

Being Good Deep Down Is Bad

On Leading with Greatness ·

2023/04/27

What do people really mean when they say someone is good deep down?Filbert was a bit of a nut. His wife would say that all the time with a chuckle. Usually she said this right after he pulled “one of his stunts.” It was not easy being married to Filbert, and her little pun was just one way she coped. When Filbert acted out, his friends would say, “that’s just Filbert being Filbert,” and offer a wry little laugh of their own.The people who worked for Filbert generally feared him. For decades he had

Don’t Be Gulled by Gurus

Here is the scene. You are in an audience listening to a dynamic speaker who prances across the stage, mic in hand, full of zeal and conviction. She is preaching the gospel of leadership, and you and your fellow audience members are her latest apostles-in-training. She is making some sense, but you have little time to process what she is saying before she excitedly jumps to the next point and then the next. Her rapid-fire delivery soon overwhelms your brain, inducing a passive state as you absorb

In Praise of the Unreasonable

On Leading with Greatness ·

2023/04/13

The word reason has to do with explanations and rationality. To be reasonable is to be logical, persuasive, and persuadable. We imbue reasonableness with all manner of virtue. Justice is reasonable. Sobriety is reasonable. Common sense is reasonable.And yet, it is the reasonable that allows for injustice. The people regarded as most reasonable sit idly not wanting to make waves while others suffer. The reasonable can be too sober, stripping life of its joys, large and small. The most common sensical

Good Can Be Greater than Great

Leadership is in my blood, literally.My father was a leader in the truest sense. He was often out in front even when he did not have a title or position to put him there. He spent his life leading, and his example still inspires my leadership philosophy.Dad’s early life was rough. Unlike my father, his father was not a warm and loving man, and his mother made it clear that dad was neither expected nor wanted. He spent a lot of time at his Aunt Laura’s around the corner in Philadelphia’s Overbrook

Judging a Cover by Its Book — An Encore Presentation

On Leading with Greatness ·

2023/03/23

I recently heard a local politician quip, “I’m not one to judge a book by its cover, but they put covers on books for a reason.” It’s a clever turn of phrase, and he has a point. Modern book covers are a marketing tool and are supposed to indicate, reflect, or symbolize something about the contents of the book. Therefore, the cover should have some meaning and some bearing with regard to the book itself. This is a public episode. If you’d like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to

What if I told you I knew one weird trick for doing a better job hiring?Anyone who hires employees wants to do it better. Even if your hiring record is superb, you must realize you are living on borrowed time. Your very next hire might be the toxic, culture-crushing mistake you had evaded thus far.I oversaw a lot of hiring in my day, and I am pretty proud of my record. Sure there was the occasional challenging case, but even those few had their virtues and most worked out just fine with some
