Remarkable leaders are not solely defined by impressive PowerPoint presentations or their ability to meet revenue targets. While these are examples of business acumen, they’re not going to put someone in the Leadership Hall of Fame.

Addressing the Elephant in the Room

Addressing the Elephant in the Room | #BetterLeadership | Scoop.it

Years ago I was serving on a team where there was a consistent idea killer. Whenever anyone on the team presented an idea, regardless of the idea’s merit, this person would shoot it down. It was annoying, but was allowed to continue by leadership.

 

Everyone talked about it outside of the meetings, no one respected the idea killer, and even the leader admitted it was a problem for the team, but he insisted he had counseled with this person privately, and it never seemed to improve.


It led me to the conclusion:


Sometimes as a leader you have to address the “elephant in the room”…in the room.
Everyone knows it’s there.


You can’t miss an elephant.


It keeps being repeated.


You’ve handled it individually.


Nothing has changed.


It may even be getting worse.


At some point, the leaders may have to address the elephant in the room.


You can’t ignore the elephant.


While everyone is in the room, address the elephant.

7 Lessons the Tango Teaches About Being a Great Follower

7 Lessons the Tango Teaches About Being a Great Follower...

 

Let’s face it, when you live, work, write and dream leadership it can be very difficult to be a great follower. But even those of us who have a passion for leadership (I believe that includes all of you, my dear readers!) know there are times when we are simply meant to follow.

 

Enter the Tango. And the Rumba, Salsa, Hustle, Waltz and Fox Trot. Up until a few weeks ago my only exposure to them had been the Mario Lopez season of Dancing With the Stars. But, having spent the better part of my childhood and High School years dancing and performing on football fields and basketball courts, I decided it was time to bring dance back into my life.

 

I feel like my soul has begun to fly. Truly.

 

But you want to know the first thing I told my amazing instructor, Joel (who is half Puerto Rican and looks a bit like Mario Lopez)? “You have to teach me to be a great follower, because my inner self always wants to lead.” His response? “You asked for it.”

 

Hence, the 7 things the Tango, and Joel, have taught me about being a great follower:
