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.

"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."

Last week I heard about an executive who had a self-defeating leadership habit: whenever a direct report’s performance disappointed him, he launched into a vicious attack on that person.
There are conversations I don’t want to have and there are conversations I show up in and where I don’t like how I show up there. How to change these?
We are always inside the conversations we don’t want to have.

" 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."

The first step towards getting a boss to loosen her grip is to remove any possibility from her mind that she needs to be that way. Get to work on time. Meet deadlines. Be productive. Make clients happy.

“Mindfulness lets us absorb the richness of the moment instead of going through life with half of our attention on the past or future or our own mental Chatter."
These traits, typically associated with women, make for great leaders--whether women or men.

The New Leader Knows that Surviving and Thriving Means Learning and Relearning
In a rapidly changing world, in a global marketplace where the sheer velocity of change, challenges, competition and opportunities before us is unprecedented; our ability to embrace individual and collective learning, relearning, doing and re-doing is the linchpin that can help us use what is to create and recreate what can be. All organizations, small and large need to get a grip on what is and what can be. Inertia, bureaucratic fumbling, confused messages, thwarted communication and the political morass of behaviors that impede communication, collaboration must be addressed and changed. Change is not a threat, it is our greatest hope. Leading forward means changing forward, and doing so means embracing our individual and collective potential to learn, re-learn. A small perceptual shift in how we see the problems or challenges we face can be the genesis for our greatest potential and success.
"That is the way to learn the most, that when you are doing something with such enjoyment that you don’t notice that the time passes."

By Leo Babauta. One of the best tricks I've learned to improve my likelihood of sticking to a habit is so simple it's sinful. Stop thinking of a new habit as something you have to do, but as something you are allowed to do.
