Politics at Work

On Leading with Greatness ·

2021/08/26

Welcome 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 ego and the zero-sum game and relies upon the machinery of

Introducing the Perception-Reality Razor

On Leading with Greatness ·

2021/08/19

Leaders 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 .

Are You Incompetent? Then Skip This Essay

On Leading with Greatness ·

2021/08/12

True competence is an overall achievement, not a matter of a few data points clustered around specific categories. It is one of the greatest fallacies in leadership that value is achieved simply by reaching a goal. How you get there, why you want to get there, and what else you do along the way matter.

The Secret Quality of Strong Leadership

On Leading with Greatness ·

2021/08/05

Vulnerability is strength.That sentence sounds outright Orwellian although, unlike the dystopian slogans George Orwell invented for his novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (“War is peace.” “Freedom is slavery.” “Ignorance is strength.”), it is profoundly true and uplifting.So let’s extol the virtues of intentional frailty, of showing the soft underbelly, of standing down when others stand rigid, of letting it all hang out, of looking the fool, of wearing it on your sleeve.

How People Sort Themselves under a Bad Boss

On Leading with Greatness ·

2021/07/29

If, though, you are like most of humanity, you have had a bevy of bad bosses in your past and present. If you are a boss, chances are that you are a less-than-stellar boss to some degree. Sorry. It’s not me, it’s statistics, but feel free to defy the stats. Someone has to be above average, and according to the report I linked, women are more likely to be so than men (but not always, so don’t rest on that either).Among the myriad effects bad bosses have on their organizations is the tendency of the

The Mendacity of Opacity

On Leading with Greatness ·

2021/07/22

Last week I sought to reframe our perception of transparency and its opposite, opacity, not as something we merely should do but as a matter of foundational principle. True transparency in a leader is not an action or state but is the result of a values choice, a personal standard to live by. Opacity, though, seems easier and is a much more common, almost universal, move among leaders. This popularity is probably due to the superficial (and illusory) simplicity of opacity.Simply put, transparency is

Transparency = Honesty

On Leading with Greatness ·

2021/07/15

Let’s reframe how we think about transparency, and its opposite, opacity. We usually think of workplace transparency as a form of enhanced communications or a way of keeping people in the loop. Although those two benefits of transparency are evident, the true practice of transparency has to do with an organization’s ethos. As much as transparency is about doing this or not doing that, at its core, it must be a principled commitment to personal and organizational honesty and integrity. This is a

It Looks Like I’m Moving, But

2021/06/03

Why do you get out of bed in the morning? Just to roll stones?Bob Dylan’s 1997 song “Not Dark Yet” offers a keen observation undergirded by profound wisdom. Actually, it offers many keen observations about life and aging while the entire song is undergirded by profound wisdom, but I want to look at just one couplet and the second line of the couplet in particular.I was born here and I’ll die here against my willI know it looks like I’m moving, but I’m standing stillIn these lines, the singer lets us

Expect Something in Between

On Leading with Greatness ·

2021/05/27

One of my longtime mantras has been “hope for the best, prepare for the worst, and expect something in between.” That philosophy has stood me in good stead as the extremes — absolute good or absolute bad — occur only rarely and are usually nowhere as good or bad as we imagine.

Counterparties

On Leading with Greatness ·

2021/05/20

James Joyce published the short story “Counterparts” in his 1914 collection, Dubliners. Perhaps you have read it. If not, I suggest you check it out although you will not need to do so to follow my argument here. The opening of “Counterparts” is set in the small legal office of Crosbie & Alleyne located in Dublin, naturally enough. Mr. Alleyne is the managing partner, and Farrington, the main character, is one of his clerks who reproduce legal documents by hand, a meticulous and horribly tedious job

But I Worked So Hard on It!

2021/05/13

Anyone who has taught on just about any level has heard a student or twelve whine some version of “but I worked oh-so very hard on it” after turning in a poor assignment. The student’s assumption is that putting in a great effort is tantamount to producing good work. They imagine that, upon hearing their woeful tale of travail, you will immediately raise their grade in the belief that indiscriminate exertion is the primary measure of quality.And, let’s face it, we have all thought or said that the

The Parable of the Moonshot Janitor

On Leading with Greatness ·

2021/05/06

An apocryphal story about the early days of NASA’s Apollo program has long made the rounds. Perhaps you have heard it. Many versions feature President John F. Kennedy touring a NASA facility, but that one seems too contrived. I will tell my preferred version with a good deal of embroidery. This is a public episode.
