Leadership Lesson: Sharing lessons ensures the continuity of the lessons, sharpens our own understanding, and allows us to improve the lessons through our own experiences.
Among all the other lessons we try to pass on to our kids, what are the leadership lessons we can pass on to our children to put them on the right path to their own success and greatness?
Leadership is not only limited…
How do others outside of your organization view you? Not your leadership, not your organization, not your workforce. YOU.
Leadership, for the most part, takes into consideration what happens within an organization – how the organization and its mission are driven, influenced, and shaped by its leader.
The organization already should have its ongoing reputation established, staking its claim in its industry.
The workforce should be known for its commitment to quality…

Aside from what a leader does in the workplace or mission environment itself, what do you take away from how your leader carries him- or herself around other people?
Do you use those moments to pick up on certain attributes you admire, are indifferent toward, or could actually denounce?
In general, there seems to be an endless number of leadership lessons we can learn, each with…
Are you a hypocrite?
Yes, that’s a real question that seeks an honest and self-reflective response. Whether it’s in your work or personal life, do you ask others to do things you won’t? Or, conversely, do ask others not to do something you do?
Oftentimes, we look at situations that we’re involved in, whether in life or at work, with the ultimate hope that they’ll benefit…
When it comes down to it, leadership isn’t about title but instead about making an impression, being invested, and wielding influence. Even the smallest of steps and actions of impression, investment, and influence can both make a difference and set the example for others.
One would be amazed how easy it is to influence people in a positive manner through example, demonstrating to others what is possible. One can shape the…
In a recent interview on WBUR’s Here and Now, Caitlyn Jenner spoke about her life, covering topics spanning from her early life, to winning Olympic decathlon gold as Bruce Jenner, up into her revelation of her lifelong identification as female. Jenner also covers these topics and more in her new book.
An interesting part of the conversation took place when it turned to politics.
At the…
So much goes into our leadership and development — in the present, for the future, and from the past.
Years of education and experiences combine to make up who and what we are today. It is up to us to take into consideration what is in our past, to determine what it is that made us who we…
Politics can play out everywhere, at every level of any kind of organization, in varying levels of severity and impact, from the most obvious and extreme positions to the sleight, unseen, or subtle plays, no matter the industry, field, or environment.
Lately, Washington has been the epitome of overreaching and dismissive authority for the sake of one’s own mission and cause, long-lasting consequences be damned.

Are you allowing others to dictate the course of your leadership and professional development? The development of those abilities and skills may be more out of your control than you know or would prefer.
But that’s only if you let it be that way.
These types of developments are not limited to the proactive steps you’re taking to gain from and influence your immediate environment. Nor…
Weekly leadership and professional development lessons seem to be ripe for the taking in the era of the Trump Administration.
This past week, President Trump continued declaring his distrust of the media, hammering the mainstream outlets during his now-infamous first major press conference since assuming the Presidency.
During the presser, which he peppered with more unsubstantiated claims, Trump continued claiming how fake the media was, calling out outlets…
Disrupting the balance in an environment undermines the steps one can take to evolve and improve the environment. Through disruption which is too powerful and “unhinged,” you risk not just resetting policies, but relationships.
Politics aside, leadership needs to be about assurance and reassurance. Part of those assurances is that, in addition to meeting the goal desired by and for the organization, a minimal level of stability needs to exist in…
Politics aside, what can we learn from each other?
In this particular example, how do you try and convince someone of your position?
Do you do it in an abrasive manner — yelling, ridiculing, and denouncing the thoughts of that person you’re trying to convince — or do you take the time to calmly ask them what they need, to find out what their perception…
#Leadership can start as early as you want it to. Don’t wait until a title is official to try to make a difference. Now's the time to step up. Why save your best for another day? #management #leaders #leadership #coaching #business #consulting ow.ly/bzR530hAKx4
