In recent months I’ve talked at different times with two leaders, each facing the loss of his job because of a corporate merger or acquisition. Although their situations were the same, their responses could not have been more different.
David Hain's insight:
Yet another great post about dealing with and learning from failure. There really has to be something in this idea...Fail forward!!

Each time we take a risk and it fails we have another opportunity to begin again. Each time we face a difficulty we can stand up and try again. Each time we plan and fail and try again, we are building inner resources. Delete the scoop?

5 Transitions Great Leaders Make That Average Leaders Don't Via John Michel, Wise Leader™
David Hain's insight:
Nice article from Mike Myatt.
AlGonzalezinfo's curator insight,

Thanks to John, David and Wise Leader! Great scoop.
From the article:
Develop Awareness– Great leaders are self aware, organizationally aware, culturally aware, contextually aware, and emotionally aware. They value listening, engaging, observing, and learning over pontificating. They value sensitivity over insensitivity and humility over hubris. Leaders who come across as if they know everything haven’t fooled anyone – except themselves. 
Doris Palomino's curator insight,
Today, 10:24 AM
The 5 key transitions the author proposes make you think about how great human beings we expect great leaders to be: (1) find purpose, (2) people first, (3) develop awareness, (4) shun complexity, and (5) get personal. And I could not agree more about the fact how many people assume the responsability to lead but only a few can do it well: "Average leaders spend time scaling processes, systems, and models – great leaders focus on scaling leadership".

"Every time I think of Nelson Mandela, the great South African leader, the first thought in my mind is we need more like him. We are ready and in serious need of leaders to inspire us and motivate us with action as much as words. Leadership is hard to define, mostly because it means different things to different people. We know it requires knowledge, strength and compassion. We expect leaders to be fair, to share our values and provide direction. That to me is what leaders like Mr. Mandela represent."

" Every time I write something on the topic of personal productivity, a few people suggest that maybe doing more isn’t appropriate at all.
As a friend of mine suggested on the Facebook page, Western society has an obsession with productivity. We grow up being taught that we want to “do well” but we’re not often taught explicitly what that means. Success is a vague word, and in the absence of a meaningful definition it seems to refer to little more than having an above average income and a lot of phone calls to return." Via Brad Abbott

An interesting perspective, since I often hear people say we need to be 'human beings' not 'human doings' - my favorite line is "Personal productivity doesn’t need to be at odds with mindfulness. Being doesn’t need to be separate from doing... Doing the work that serves your real values improves the present reality of your life" Delete the scoop?

» Can We Learn From Bad Leaders? | "…on the shoulder of giants."
John Michel's curator insight,
June 16, 3:28 AM
Bad leadership produces bad results and a bad example to follow, even if only to learn what not to do. We don’t study divorce to learn what makes marriages work; we don’t study addiction to discover the secrets to sobriety; why would we use bad leadership to show us what good leadership is supposed to do?

Leaders without heart are well manicured cemeteries, pretty to look at but full of dead bones. Everything is cold technique and dead strategy apart from heart.
“True meaning” grows hearts. Find purpose; find heart.
