“The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects the wind; the realist adjusts the sails” — Anonymous
I love this quote and would love to know who really said it.
I’ve been telling people for years that no matter how much they’re want to change something and how hard […]

Are politicians leaders?

Post from Leadership Turn Image credit: jensimon7
Bridget from Biz Chicks Rule was surprised that I don’t consider politicains leaders since “they tell us their vision and lay a path of guidance to show how we’re going to get there?”
To me, the ability to articulate a vision and describe a path a leader does […]

Book Review: The Offsite

Post from Leadership Turn
Much of the best leadership advice is classic and often lays the groundwork for more modern interpretations. This isn’t always good, but it certainly works in The Offsite, which bills itself as A Leadership Challenge Fable.
In it, Robert H. Thompson presents the philosophy taught in Jim Kouzes’ and Barry Posner’s 1987 The […]

MAP (mindset, attitude, philosophy™) @ Slacker Manager

Post from Leadership Turn Image credit: Phil Gerbyshak
A few weeks ago I was talking with Phil Gerbyshak over at Slacker Manger and he described a new leadership approach he’s developing (no details, it’s still in stealth mode). I mentioned that its success would be very MAP (mindset, attitude, philosophy™) dependent.

Book Review: Michael Port’s Beyond Booked Solid

It’s not that we can’t learn from the business advice and management practice flavors du jour, but it’s useful to revisit the basics, especially when they’re presented in an enjoyable, easy-to-read format by someone who isn’t into writing by the pound.

The truth about lying

Do you wonder what’s happened to people over the last century and into this one? What changed?
When did fudging, lying, dissembling, dissimulating, equivocating, falsifying, fibbing, inventing, misleading, misrepresenting, misstating, and prevaricating, become business as usual?

Over at Mapping Company Success Friday I wrote No reading = poor writing with a sample email that would be a lot funnier if my bank manager hadn’t told me that she received a similar one from an applicant.

In the comments on Learning to lead Luke says, “…Anyway, after having the ability to look back with 20/20 hindsight I can see a great deal of improvements that could’ve been made if I had the benefit of some well thought-out guidance. At what point does doing need to be tempered by hearing and seeing […]
