Leader Tips

We’ve published over 120 tips for leaders – for  example…

Develop a Failure Standard: A leader will typically work hard to achieve a successful outcome, and recognize it when it happens. Yet it’s also critical to set up a measurement for when to stop investing in someone or something. Lacking such a failure standard, we are informed mainly by opinions and hopes, which can lead us to make choices that drain vital resources for too long. Take some time this week to consider your people and projects -- do you have measurable end points for both positive and negative outcomes? Challenge yourself to know up front when enough is enough, however difficult it may be. In doing so, you are likely to save not just time and money, but a lot of frustration for all concerned.

 

Adaptive Leadership: Leaders today are facing an unspoken mandate to become more adaptable. The accelerating interdependency of global markets, natural resource demands, and competition all challenge leaders to use traditional competencies in new ways. Outstanding decisions must make sense locally and on a global scale, while in a state of constant change. Now, more than ever, adaptive leadership requires a sharper focus on self-awareness, mindfulness and integrity. Given the importance of evolving the way you operate as a leader, what are the most important changes you need to make? By recognizing self-development as a central theme, you can make a more integral and sustainable contribution to the world overall.
