(From the article): Leaders carry a responsibility. Our responsibility is to focus others on what is possible. Our responsibility is to be clear on purpose. Our responsibility is to facilitate a culture for others to engage, solve, interact, and act. Whether tested or inspiring, leaders need to deliver on these elements at a minimum.

Not surprising but still needs more exploration by authentic leaders, the key is that one can overpower the tendency to quelsh empathy in their roles. But it is not easy nor is it often truly understood.

"Whether you're with a team at work [or] your family dinner, all of that hinges on how we adapt our behaviors to the behaviors of other people, and power takes a bite out of that ability, which is too bad."
A powerful statement. How can we keep focused on connecting to others so we don't become less empathetic?

"Being able to see, understand and deal effectively with others' perspectives is key to successful leadership (as well as personal life). That capacity, part of self-awareness, is empathy." The author includes a brief discussion of whether gaining power causes a decrease in empathy.

Appreciative Inquiry is a model that can help organizations come together in a spirit of trust AND happiness! It seeks to create a better reality by everyone working together and realizing their full potential. When employees are treated as contributors to a better future, it is easier to establish a culture of trust and happiness at work.

The notion of a building a leadership legacy has always been a driving factor for business leaders and owners, who are naturally driven to influence the way in which they will be remembered after they have gone. Whether you're a leader ready to retire, or a new manager itching to make your mark on your organisation; you are now writing history for your employees, but how will it read?

We do have a leadership crisis as this article points out. What does it mean to manage? We have to be careful. Do we want leadership or management? Both are necessary, but serve different purposes.

In Canada and the United States, having frequent contact with neighbors was associated with higher levels of well-being, as was the feeling of truly belonging in a group. "If everyone in a community becomes more connected, the average level of subjective well-being would increase." |

When we are direct, are understood, are reliable, and trustworthy, we send signals about being responsible. The era of accountability and transparency are not about responsibility. We can still hide necessary information in being transparent. We cannot when we are responsible.

Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity (aka VUCA) does require good leadership. But all of the DURT behaviors are important and should be practiced regardless of conditions. Trust as we know is important for robust engagement, clarity is important for broad alignment, directness is important for superb execution and reliability is important in sustainable adaptation. Leadership's purpose in VUCA situations and, in general, is to maintain and build effectiveness in achieving results; the DURT behaviors and other Purposeful Leadership behaviors is at the heart of organizational success regardless of circumstances.

Not sure about the whole 'native versus immigrant'...#Prensky's idea, upon reading his book, does not lead me to believe in the term 'native' as so many seem to misconstrue this term (a tad out of whack). I'm not young and my adult daughter says that it's like I've been born with tech literacy and she wasn't?! I think it is about openmindedness, resourcefulness, inquisitiveness, creativity and more...I argue that you don't need to be born in the 1990's to be a digital native! I wasn't!

Reading about leadership this last week, I have come across associations with love, kindness, gratitude and empathy even more than, or as a precursor to, results. This is a welcome trend and much more than flavour of the month.

An informal survey of 150 senior managers who attended my last Sustainable Leaders Strategy workshop revealed the biggest challenge they faced was “having too much to do in too little time with fewer resources than ever before.” The speed with which business must get done today is light years faster than even 15 or 20 years ago. In many industries (technology), change happens too quickly and if you only strive to keep up, you will be out of business faster than you can say “Buck Rogers.”

I liked points 2 and 3. People who are serial single-taskers are better listeners because they know when to listen. It is their only task in that moment.

"There are only 24 hours in a day and you cannot create “more time” in a day. The solution for most senior managers is to work longer and harder to get the job done. The only problem with that solution is that it is a recipe for burn out. What if you broke the rules and shifted your beliefs to recognize this truth: Time is a limited resource & Energy is an infinitely unlimited resource. You cannot create more time. You can, however, create more energy by taking control not only of your time, but where your attention is within that time frame."

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,

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".
