My Personal Brand

On Leading with Greatness ·

2022/10/13

What constitutes your personal brand?People often ask me why I write what I write and do what I do. Well, after a lifetime of watching good people get hurt by bad bosses, I am deeply concerned with preventing others from being burned. I am no longer in a position to directly protect people who are being hurt, but I can help them build the resilience they need to stand up, withstand, and still become their best. I can also help those with some pretense to power discover strategies to act as

Manufacturing Authority Using Radical Transparency

On Leading with Greatness ·

2022/10/06

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

Can people gain intelligence, or do we all just stay the same level we were born at?Your circumstances do not dictate your mindset. Your choices do.If you are fixed in place by a fixed mindset, you can choose to grow with a growth mindset. If you are scarred by a scarcity mindset, you can choose dance with an abundance mindset.

What Is Wrong with Bosses?

On Leading with Greatness ·

2022/09/15

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

Professor Clark’s Lessons on Leading

On Leading with Greatness ·

2022/09/08

My old school was tiny. Classes could be just ten people sitting around a table, and I will forever be grateful to my parents, federal financial aid, the student loan system (at 9% interest!), and a steady stretch of year-round employment for the opportunity to attend such a college.

2022/09/01

My wife, Marie, and I are pretty good cooks, if I say so myself, but our methodology is radically different. She will find recipes she likes and purchase the ingredients at the store. When cooking, she will follow the recipe although she will frequently make substitutions due to necessity or taste. For instance, she usually doubles the garlic and reduces or eliminates salt. I, on the other hand, prefer to go to the store and buy what appeals to me. Then, when it is time to cook, I pretty much just

On Leading with Purpose on Purpose

On Leading with Greatness ·

2022/08/25

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 refuses to go over the speed limit in a

Fear and the Reckless Wisdom of Panel Vans

On Leading with Greatness ·

2022/08/18

Recently my wife and I were driving innocently along a city street when a commercial panel van stopped in front of us at a red light. Obviously this was not the most momentous event in itself, but I noticed that the van had painted on the back in large letters,FEAR DOESN’T KEEP YOU FROM DYING. FEAR KEEPS YOU FROM LIVING.My first thought (and possibly yours): “Hey, that’s cool. We shouldn’t fear fear.” I pointed it out to my wife. This is a public episode.

Complimentary Compliments

2022/08/11

One thing I have learned over my many years of fumbling through life is that mistakes get made. How is that for a profound revelation? Mistakes happen, and, yes, yes, (yes!), we should learn from our mistakes, which means first learning to own them. Blah, blah. Blah.Blah.All true, painfully true, and a topic for another day.

(Re) Introducing the Perception-Reality Razor — An...

On Leading with Greatness ·

2022/08/04

Originally published 12 August 2021Leaders at every level need to understand that an individual’s perception is reality. This statement is not the same as “everything I believe to be true is true,” which is just lazy, fanciful thinking. Nor is it a license to insist that everyone share your perceptions, which is bullying. Indeed, the failure to grasp this last point or, more cynically, an effort to exploit this last point has led this nation to the cultural-political precipice where we teeter at

The Limits of Chicken Salad on Rye

My Catholic school days taught me a lot, albeit little I was supposed to learn. For one thing, I was quite a freethinker by parochial school standards. I had wild, wild thoughts and too often even blurted them out, which I am certain thoroughly endeared me to my classmates and to my teachers.Indeed, my attempts at being true to myself and to my intellectual pursuits were so universally well-regarded that by the end of sixth grade, I had become afraid to raise my hand. The bullying from classmates I

Politics at Work — An Encore Presentation

2022/07/14

THIS INSTALLMENT IS AN ENCORE PRESENTATION FROM AUGUST 2021Welcome to my first Ted talk.Two types of politics pervade most workplaces. One is the politics of possibility, the idea that, through sheer persuasiveness and appeals to values, people can be recruited and motivated to work together for good. That their passions and their intellect can be encouraged to join forces in common cause for the betterment of all.The other is sadly much more pervasive, the politics of power, which centers on the

Bosses Say the Darndest Things

On Leading with Greatness ·

2022/07/07

The difference between bossing and leading is massive. Yes, of course, most leaders are bosses on some level, but very few bosses are leaders. By that I mean too many bosses do too little to bolster their leadership skills and many in fact assume they are leaders simply because they are bosses. If you make that assumption, I can guarantee you are no leader no matter what your title. Boss is a position. Leader is an attitude of greatness, whatever the position, which is why untitled (and unentitled)

Judging a Cover by Its Book

On Leading with Greatness ·

2022/06/30

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

Surfing the Status Quo

Back in April of 2021, the business and entrepreneurship guru Sahil Bloom posted on Twitter a simple but profound observation.The world wants you to be normal. Our systems and institutions are all designed to make it easy to be normal. Maintaining your distinctiveness is possible, but it will require effort — painful, constant, relentless effort. But stay the course. You’ll find it’s worth it.Bloom sets himself up here as an enemy of the normal, of the comfortable, of the same-old-same-old, of the

Rigor vs Rigmarole & the Lure of Fake Rigor

John Henry was a steel-driving man, or so the song goes. A figure of American legend and the subject of many heroic songs and tales, John Henry was a Black railroad worker in the 1800s who challenged a newfangled steam-powered drill to a contest. Henry, according to the lore, won the competition but died soon after from the strain.That model of labor, the man who can just push himself further and further — suggesting that all effort is just a matter of willpower — is a myth that still burdens our
