Putting Values to Work

On Leading with Greatness ·

2023/03/09

Your values serve three purposes in your work that would seem contradictory. First, they anchor you, assuring that you do not go too far astray. Second, they drive you, serving as a means to propel you forward. Third, they serve as a destination.How can values do all three?* Keep you in place,* Move you forward, and* Loom somewhere in the distance?So how can you put your values to work in all three states? There is a four-part process that starts with identifying your values. This is a public

The Leader in Four Acts

On Leading with Greatness ·

2023/03/02

Recently I ran a brief workshop during a weekly meeting of my Master Networks chapter. I pretty much have carte blanche during these trainings, so I try to change it up quite a bit. This time, I took a different approach altogether and, instead of presenting ideas or leading a discussion, I turned it into a controlled brainstorming session. I asked the twenty-plus people in the Zoom room, “what is a leader?”The response was excellent with almost everyone able to contribute a word, phrase, thought,

Sorry, Guys. Size Matters (Except That It Doesn’t)

Why do we tend to think that more is always better?A long time ago, when I was an English professor, I reported to a department chair who had an odd quirk. Whenever we were to work on a new task or design a new course, she would fall back on the same strategy: “We will take what we are doing now and just do more of it.” Every time she said that she would smile broadly and tilt her head to one side as though she had just invented the formula for instant success. The whole scene was bizarre as were

Want to Lead Better? Behave Like an Iconoclast.

On Leading with Greatness ·

2023/02/16

What is an iconoclast, and why should you behave like one? Every great leader thinks and behaves like an iconoclast. Would you be best described as a conformist, a contrarian, an individualist, or an iconoclast? How can you behave more like an iconoclast? This is a public episode.

How to Be a Lousy Employee Just Like Me

On Leading with Greatness ·

2023/02/09

My vast and deep experience working for others and failing miserably at it can stand as inspiration and model for those who also aspire to be lousy employees. For me, my formula for failure starts with my bad attitude. I have been headstrong, some have even said arrogant, in the cause of doing the objectively right thing. Worse still, in my twisted mind, bosses exist primarily to help their people do their job better, not the other way round. That is why, when I was a boss, I spent much of my effort

How I Lost My Voice

On Leading with Greatness ·

2023/02/02

What is the connection between curiosity and dissent?The Russian-American author Vladimir Nabokov [na BAW kiff] in his novel Bend Sinister wrote, “Curiosity … is insubordination in its purest form.” This association of curiosity and insubordination resonates with me because my experience bears it out. For instance, I don’t tell the story often, but I once had my voice taken away because of my curiosity. I am not sure I ever got it back entirely. This is a public episode. If you’d like to discuss

Have You Seen Dignity?

On Leading with Greatness ·

2023/01/26

Do you offer others dignity?What if I told you that there is a resource of endless increase that would benefit you and those around you? That this resource is readily available to each and every one of us, that it is inexpensive, and that expending it can result in a full return with interest. That the only byproduct of using it is goodwill and trust. This is a public episode. If you’d like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit

Pegging Well-wishers, Manipulators, and Kiss-Ups

On Leading with Greatness ·

2023/01/12

How good are you at sorting out sincere well-wishers from manipulators and kiss-ups?If you are a leader, you must learn to identify and accept genuine compliments, learn to thwart manipulators, and learn to ignore kiss-ups. It’s a vital skill and an ongoing challenge, but there is an upside. So long as you are vigilant and honest with yourself and others, over time the manipulators and kiss-ups will become less of a problem as they discover their efforts are fruitless.How do you sort genuine

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. Their suitcases are stuffed with extra layers and some overhead compartments contain coats. This is a public episode.

What does it take to be a great leader?Being a leader is not remarkable in itself. For one thing, leadership can be situational or even sporadic. The kid who stands up to the bully to protect her friend is a leader even if she sits back down quietly afterward. The teacher who guides students to understanding is a leader even if he never says anything at faculty meetings. The supervisor who finds it in herself to reach out compassionately to employees who may be troubled is a leader. The driver who

When was the last time you reviewed your past, present, and yet to be?It was a dark and stormy afternoon. 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,

A Tale of Two Whomps: Flight-Fight-Freeze

On Leading with Greatness ·

2022/12/15

In my line of work helping young bosses become great leaders, the fight-flight response often comes up. With so many stressors and threats in the daily workplace — be it malevolent bosses and colleagues, crises large and small, or just the dreaded deadline — fear and anxiety are ubiquitous. In the face of these threats, we often stand ready to do battle or run away.More often, though, we just freeze. In the workplace for so many, maybe most, the freeze response is all-too familiar.

The 4 Cs of Leadership

2022/12/08

What are the 4 Cs of leadership success?All great leaders rely on four qualities that I call the four Cs of leadership.* Character* Communication* Compromise, and* Collaboration.Achieving lasting success without these four qualities is possible, but it is far less likely. When you have the 4 Cs, you hold the winning hand. This is a public episode.

Rocket Squirrel — An Encore Presentation

On Leading with Greatness ·

2022/11/24

The squirrel is a curious creature that is one-third rat, one-half furniture duster, and four-fifths dog toy. I have always enjoyed the antics of squirrels although I have also rained curses upon them as they raided my bird feeders. As thieves, they are relentless and clever as you may surmise from the many squirrel-proof feeder designs on the market. The squirrel can climb anything you hang a feeder from. If you install some sort of baffle to deter climbing, the squirrel will leap down from above

Leadership and the Paradox of Individuality

On Leading with Greatness ·

2022/11/17

Why do so many bosses think they have to go it alone?Unfortunately, many businesses and other organizations have cultures that isolate and insulate individuals even when they are supposed to operate in teams. Structures and incentives tend to encourage individual effort, and people tend to see themselves as lone operators in a sea of activity and even turmoil. Therefore our systems themselves reinforce the human propensity to go it alone and rarely reward the self-discipline required for

Get Up, Get Out, and Get Around

On Leading with Greatness ·

2022/11/10

What are the practical advantages of getting out of your office?Peripatetic is just a fancy word for walking around. It comes from the name given to the adherents of Aristotle who, according to tradition, followed him as he strolled through Athens and philosophized. Peripateticism is not just for followers, though. It is also a great way to lead and manage people. As I wrote recently, great leaders open their eyes and ears to learn about and from their people. Wandering among and interacting with

You Deserve to Be Disciplined

On Leading with Greatness ·

2022/11/03

How can you master the discipline of leadership?Perhaps you have heard it said that leaders are just born or that leaders are forged in moment of crisis. There is a bit of truth in those beliefs but the vast majority of leaders and every single truly great leader became who they are by developing an understanding of leadership. (Note that I am not referring to bosses here.) Therefore leadership is a discipline, and like all disciplines you must study, practice, evaluate, and revise your views of

The Dark Side of Cooperation

2022/10/27

How can working alongside others be a bad thing?Have you ever noticed how you go through life believing some things as near absolutes without much thought? Maybe such beliefs reflect your personal values or are based on some cultural assumptions. We all do it. Nonetheless, perhaps something about one belief bothers you a bit, like there may be a dark side to it. One of my strongest and most persistent beliefs is in the positive power of cooperation.
