Leadership Lessons from the 6th Grade

Leadership Lessons from the 6th Grade | Leadership Advice & Tips | Scoop.it
From linked2leadership.com - December 5, 2012 3:03 AM

Some of the most exciting and rewarding sessions I delivered this year were the ones I facilitated with sixth graders at a local school.

 

During the sessions, follow-up conversations, meetings and graduation, I was intrigued by many of the comments made by the students as they shared their views on leadership. I made it a point to capture some of their most meaningful observations.


Here are a few priceless comments from these wise leaders:


~Leadership is doing something special or hard

~Seeing the best in others instead of being mean


~Keep in mind a person’s strengths even when they make me mad

~If I am wrong, I learn something


~Social responsibility is being loyal to your friends

~Leadership is getting things done and having fun

 

~Doing my best work and being OK when I am not at my best

The New Rules of Talent Management

The New Rules of Talent Management | Leadership Advice & Tips | Scoop.it
From hbr.org - March 1, 2018 12:00 AM

You could say HR is going “agile lite,” applying the general principles without adopting all the tools and protocols from the tech world. It’s a move away from a rules- and planning-based approach toward a simpler and faster model driven by feedback from participants. This new paradigm has really taken off in the area of performance management. (In a 2017 Deloitte survey, 79% of global executives rated agile performance management as a high organizational priority.) But other HR processes are starting to change too.

In many companies that’s happening gradually, almost organically, as a spillover from IT, where more than 90% of organizations already use agile practices. At the Bank of Montreal (BMO), for example, the shift began as tech employees joined cross-functional product-development teams to make the bank more customer focused. The business side has learned agile principles from IT colleagues, and IT has learned about customer needs from the business. One result is that BMO now thinks about performance management in terms of teams, not just individuals. Elsewhere the move to agile HR has been faster and more deliberate. GE is a prime example. Seen for many years as a paragon of management through control systems, it switched to FastWorks, a lean approach that cuts back on top-down financial controls and empowers teams to manage projects as needs evolve.

7 Reasons the Best Leaders Treat Their Employees Like Customers

From www.inc.com - February 1, 2016 12:03 AM

If you don't, you could be stunting your own growth.

Trish Sadar's insight:

I could not agree more with this approach. 


I also like to challenge my team to this approach ... "Pretend as though your employees have contracted you for the year.  Ask yourself truthfully, would they re-hire you once the year is up?  Did you take care of them in a way that they would be afraid to contract another leader or department because no one else would take care of them and add value as you would?


That is the mind set that I like to challenge myself to uphold, because our employees are our internal customers. 

What do you think?

Trish Sadar's insight:

Super infographic for improving communication within an organization.  I know when you go through the infographic you will probably say... I already know that.

 

While you may not be in the position to change the way your entire organization communicates, involves, and engages wtih everyone, you do have control over how you communicate with your team.

 

So, after you go through the infographic and article ask yourself  What should I do?  What do I do? how do I know that effective communicate is really happening?

 

Moving forward, what will I do differently?  Until next time.. .PS - Be on Brand & Live on Purpose!

Christina Lattimer interviews Sir Richard Branson Founder of Virgin Group, with some sound and inspirational advice for business leaders and CEO's
Trish Sadar's insight:

Excellent interview Christina Lattimer!

 

There are so many gold nuggets for CEOs, boards, and leaders alike.

 

For me CEOs like Sir Richard Branson or like Zappo's CEO Tony Hsieh are rare.  They seem to possess the power to reject immediate gratification for what is best for the company's long-term growth. 

 

They know that strategy should not be a secret known by only senior leaders.  People ... are their organization's competitive advantage, and they nurture, inspire, and invest in them.

Chong Jiaxuan's comment, March 13, 2018 10:09 AM
According to Odean, success depends on whether you are able to persuade people to join you in your cause to create new and revolutionary things. I feel that this is true. Someone might have an extremely innovative idea, but no words to express himself. People would most likely scratch their heads in confusion by what this person says. However, another person may have a dumb idea, but package the idea so nicely that others think the idea is amazing. Although persuasion is such an important skill, schools do not educate students on how to be persuasive concisely. Instead, schools teach students to use windy evidences to strengthen their point. Using lengthy evidences will just confuse others and make them question you more. I feel that schools should also give some insights on how to have better speaking skills in order to persuade people easily. Such knowledge proves to be more useful for students when they grow up.

3 Things Companies Do to Build an Exceptional Culture

3 Things Companies Do to Build an Exceptional Culture | Leadership Advice & Tips | Scoop.it
From www.inc.com - May 10, 2018 9:53 AM

Exceptional workplace doesn't happen by accident.  It starts with a clearly defined vision that includes the company's core values, a detailed description of what each of those values means on a day-to-day basis, and a system for measuring  whether or not the people in the organization are living those values.

I refer to this plan as a culture blueprint, and it's critical to the creation and scaling of your company's culture, just as an architect's plans are to the building of a skyscraper. Done correctly, it serves as a North Star to the senior management team as you hire and manage the company's workforce. Without it, you'll end up building something that's likely to collapse under its own weight.

Top employers create a blueprint, treat HR like a sales organization and govern by meritocracy.
Ann Zaslow-Rethaber's curator insight, May 18, 2018 1:52 PM

 

Company culture is incredibly important ,and far too many companies fail to invest the time and resources to create a positive one. 

 

Make no mistake ...every single company HAS a culture, regardless of weather you try to create one, or not. 

 

What is yours?

5 Ways to Get a Confidence Boost

From www.inc.com - February 2, 2015 11:02 AM
Whatever you're about to do, it's incredibly important--and you're incredibly nervous. Here's how to get a quick shot of confidence.
Trish Sadar's insight:

Great advice in this article!  No matter how confident you are, you will most definitely be faced with situations that will stretch you out of your comfort zone.  Preparation is king to building confidence when coming face to face with new situations and challenges.

 

I particularly agree with:

- Anticipating objections

- Being prepared to respond

-Productively use up the excess fuel you have


Another easy tip we share is to avoid drinking caffeine, which artifically amplifies emotions.

January 31, 2015 11:36 AM
Trish Sadar's insight:

1.  They don't do the bare minimum; have you ever heard that saying, “The way you do anything is the way you do everything? “  Well, this especially hold true here…they give every task their all and always go way beyond. 

2.  They don't waste time; they work hard to stay on course.  They know how easy it is to get distracted, yet they are disciplined in this area.  They focus their time and energy on what matters most....not what matters least.

3.  They don’t focus on problems – they focus on solutions.  They don't lose sleep or complain about what they can't do.  They shift their energy and resources on what is within their control.

4.  They don't think they can do it alone; the most confident leaders are humble, and seek out advice, assistance, and expertise.  It’s not about them; it’s about their teams, and accomplishing the goals!

5.  They don't think that they always know best; the most confident leaders are curious to learn.  They listen to the ideas of others.  They listen to understand.

6.  They don’t take things personal and let their ego get in the way of achieving goals and building relationships. 

7.  They don’t judge or criticize others.  They stay humble, curious, and open to learn and understand.

 

What else do you think should be on the list?  Would love to hear from you.
