Silent Torture and Why Great Leaders Choose...

On Leading with Greatness ·

2025/06/26

Have you ever been given the silent treatment? Have you ever been silenced?Humans—being social creatures—rely on communication in all its forms to make connections. We need communication to thrive. In fact, communication is the second of the 4 Cs of effective leadership along with character, compromise, and collaboration. You simply can’t lead without being a good communicator.But I want to talk about communication’s opposite: silence. Get full access to On Leading With Greatness at

The truth is that the player who attempts to bluff always does so from a position of deficiency. You wouldn’t be bluffing if you placed a high bet on, say, a straight or a flush unless you somehow knew for a fact that your opponent held four of a kind. Therefore, bluffing is always a de facto admission of weakness even when the player wins. Get full access to On Leading With Greatness at jimsalvucci.substack.com/subscribe

2025/05/29

Think of a clenched fist. What comes to mind? For most people a fist evokes strength, aggression, and even a touch of violence. A raised fist screams defiance and declares revolutionary solidarity. A fist shaken in the face? It’s a prelude to a fight. In our culture, fists are undeniably masculine. Men punch, and women slap. Or so we imagine.Therefore, it’s no surprise that bosses—as we conceive them—are more comparable to fists than open hands. Bosses want to exude an aura of toughness, an

Let’s sketch a scene. Imagine holding a classic rocks glass—one of those short tumblers used for whiskey. Its thick walls and solid base give it an appealing heft in your hand. Now picture a fancy swizzle stick leaning tall against the rim. Go ahead and grab that stick and give it a good whirl, really swizzle the hell out of that glass.Oh, and one tiny detail, the glass in your hand, the one you’re vigorously swizzling, is filled with semi-liquified crap.Feeling queasy? Sorry about that, but it

We don’t often think of the typical workplace as a site of worship, but workplace-based worship is widespread among the religious and the non-religious alike. From the devout believer to the avowed atheist, many or even most of us worship power. Get full access to On Leading With Greatness at jimsalvucci.substack.com/subscribe

How a Great Leader’s Principles Top Principals Every...

On Leading with Greatness ·

2025/05/08

One pair of homonyms that directly relates to leadership and that consistently causes spelling angst is “principle” ending in “le” and “principal” ending in “al.” More critically, though, we also mix up the meaning of these words when it comes to leadership, thinking that “principal,” meaning the first and foremost, is more important than “principle,” meaning a rule or code.I can offer any number of examples of bosses, people in leadership positions, unarguably the principal individuals, who are

The Confidence Game: Why Great Leaders Doubt Themselves

On Leading with Greatness ·

2025/05/01

What does a person’s behavior suggest about their level of competence?The most competent among us aren’t hyper-confident and are often riven with self-doubt, which you might not realize if you aren’t close to them or you actually are them. I’m not talking about imposter syndrome. The self-doubt a competent leader experiences is an entirely healthy and even necessary element of their competence.

"Hero” is an overused and much abused term. There’s even a concept called “heroic leadership.” (And now we are at the heart of the matter!)Think about that phrase. What does it evoke for you?

You Got a Lotta Nerve: How to Use and Abuse Empathy

On Leading with Greatness ·

2025/04/17

Most leadership advice suggests that empathy is a key component to effective leadership, and I won’t disagree. Leaders empathize to improve their ability to communicate and to compromise. But…Empathy is not inherently good. Empathy can be a component of morality, but it’s not moral in itself. Get full access to On Leading With Greatness at jimsalvucci.substack.com/subscribe

The False Hope of Information: On Leadership and Value

On Leading with Greatness ·

2025/03/20

So much information, and so little time to review it, which is to say nothing of comprehending and intelligently responding to it. We drift in a world awash in information, gulping it down as quickly as possible in hopes we don’t drown.Yet, “leaders are readers,” or so they say. Leaders gain knowledge and a degree of understanding by guzzling information. Get full access to On Leading With Greatness at jimsalvucci.substack.com/subscribe

2025/03/06

In the workplace and elsewhere, we can witness a different but similar sort of corruption in which an outside influence eats away at integrity until it’s compromised out of existence. That influence could be money or power, but often it’s overwork and stress leading to exhaustion, shoddy work, cover-ups, and increasing dishonesty. Much corruption stems from mental and moral fatigue and the action or inaction of those at the top of the organization. Get full access to On Leading With Greatness at

The power structures and politics of the average workplace provide a perfect arena for cruelty. I have written about the necessity of human decency in leadership and the workplace, and decency forms the thematic backbone of my upcoming book, Greater than Great. I’ve also addressed the causes and types of bad behavior in the workplace, but what about plain mean-spiritedness in our workaday lives?

A Stone’s Throw: The Leader’s Status Quo Challenge

On Leading with Greatness ·

2025/02/20

The current fashion is for business leaders to excitedly prattle on about “moving fast and breaking things,” but that’s most often heedless and even childish advice. “Breaking things” only works if you don’t care much what comes next. One of the fundamental challenges of leadership is deciding if, when, and how to disrupt the status quo—to break things.
