Leading is not managing. It is a privilege that is earned each day.
One thought for the day: Serving others is the mark of a true leader. Pretend that your contract as a leader lasts only one year, and your staff make the decision to re-sign you as their leader or not.
Would you be fired or re-hired?

Trish Sadar's insight:
Storytelling is an effective way to communicate to get attention, make a business case, and add relevance to the situation.
Of course you need to make certain that the topic is relevant and valuable to the audience. Not to mention, that the timing of your considers the venue, theme, and time constraints.
I first learned how to effectively start telling stories when I worked in the Food and Beverage Industry. Throughout my career I believe this skill helps to connect with your audience!

My philosophy....As a coach, I help people get to where they want to be faster! It all depends on how much a leader wants to invest in him or herself.
The clearer a leader is on what success looks like, and how to measure success...the easier it is for me to get them to where they want to be.

My philosophy is that we should transition from performance appraisals towards performance management systems. We need to measure and reward each person for living the values of the organization. Lastly, all bonuses should be balanced and aligned with the priorities of the organization and values.
Long story short - My humble opinion is we should avoid rewarding an individual who exceeds individual goals yet stomps on everyone along the way, and does not believe and live by the ethical values of the organization.

Interesting article!
Valuing people's time, starting and ending a meeting on time, adding value, and starting a meeting by stating a purpose are all bedrock principles.
In addition, send out the agenda ahead of time with the stated purpose. Be clear on what others to review or bring to the meeting. If the meeting requires making a decision, be clear on the objective.
Before ending the meeting, make sure that you re-cap the action steps and timelines. Having someone send out the next steps is an excellent way to keep everyone on track.

My humble opinion is that whether you are an introvert or extrovert...building your emotional intelligence on your preferences is critical.
I have seen extroverts who have matured their emotional intelligence to the point that they are amazing listeners, because they have built those muscles.
Also, I have experienced introverted leaders who have strengthened their body language and abilities to speak before they have fully formulated their ideas as well.
