Hi Shawn! My never ending travel cycle finds me just responding to you now. It’s nice to know I have a community like Lead Change to return to. Thanks very much for taking the time to comment on my post. Even born leaders can overtly/inadvertently miss the basic steps and want to jump ahead to [...]

Important and impactful thoughts Lisa. You capture the idea of creating a magnetic leadership program succinctly here. Simulations are important for people to understand the dynamics involved. Often leaders who are “magnetic” have trouble when actually creating the next steps – this typically means attracting (recruiting) and nurturing (retaining)…[Read more]

Thank you Ben. This illustrates a powerful point! Giving trust takes faith and keeping this trust takes time and consistency. I like the nuance here. Nutshell – it’s all about leadership behaviors that model.

Hello Maria. Nice to see you here. I’m a big proponent of consistent behavoirs that back up promises in the workplace. Leaders and employees should endeavor to stay vigilant on this tack. Listening is definitely the first important step…

Greg, Thanks very much. It’s always valuable to hear your viewpoint. Trust is very challenging to inspire once it has been breached. If trust is lost the only route back is open communication and behaviors (key) that demonstrate new promises from a leadership perspective. So often a windy and difficult road…you are absolutely right. It’s [...]

Hello Kate. Thank you for stopping by. Appreciate. Exactly my point – the new social web economy calls for more action than ever before on the part of leaders. Agree, personalizing services is definitely always a smart solution to drive overall productivity (and certainly this will nurture employee engagement on the inside of a workplace [...]

So glad you enjoyed my post Jeff. I know you can relate to the “peaks and valleys” example here. Very true = Trust simply takes time and patience. Often we experience leaders that think about this concept in terms of “fixing trust” rather than a process that organically unfolds over the natural course of time. [...]

Thank you very much Georgia. My travel schedule finds me just getting to this comment now – Appreciate your patience. I really like your feedback. Yes, my point directly ties into the complex power issues that are often innate to situations leaders face. Often people who experience self-esteem issues feel a lack of support from [...]

Hello Jacqui! Appreciate your patience with my response. Travel has a way of micro-managing my schedule lately. Thank you so much for stopping by here to share your feedback. It’s refreshing to hear (leaders should always at minimum strive to walk the talk – right?) leaders are getting in closer touch with their vision and [...]

Thank you William! Nice to see you here. Glad to keep the conversation moving with you. It’s no longer good enough to be in survival mode. This type of philosophy simply does not work for any sustainable organization. The true ROI of a leader lies in their ability to rise to the ocassion and become [...]

Susan – Thank you! Fabulous to connect here. Valuable insight from your end. Growth and personal development is very important but we must explore the macro reality of organizational systems. The roles (and subsequent workplace culture) in which people are placed often decide who will succeed or fail. Many leaders fall into the “high potential” [...]

Thomas – Hello. Thank you very much for the comment! I’m back here at LeadChange after a brief respite. I’m hoping there is always a second (and third) chance to “begin” the discussion thread I appreciate your patience with my response. Yes, the heart is a major theme in my life and practice. You [...]
