Thank you to the 20+ leaders who joined us at @BiltmoreHotel today. Great setting to introduce Admired Leadership behaviors. Keep an eye on our events page for upcoming events in your area.

30 minute long 1-0n-1 meetings once every three weeks??
That's the average!?

[Admired Leadership @AdmiredLeaders]

"In the companies we [Microsoft} analyzed, the average manager spent 30 minutes every 3 weeks with each of their employees.  Perhaps unsurprisingly, employees who got little to no one-on-one time with their manager were more likely to be disengaged."

Eye opening.

[Mikey Ames @mikeyames]

Interesting,
but every one of us looks at this and says “nope” to big chunks.

@bakerlink consumes printed media like he’s a triple millennial

[Mikey Ames @mikeyames]

Does this research justify my desire to speed run thru all small talk?

[Jessica Stillman @EntryLevelRebel]

The more substantive conversations you have the happier you’ll be https://t.co/3mIdhqAHOv

@tseides @AdmiredLeaders @AlphaSenseInc Thanks, Ted!

[Mikey Ames @mikeyames]

Always great conversations here, and I've got a bias on this one especially...

[Ted Seides @tseides]

Leadership is shaped by behavior, feedback, and followership. A conversation with Randall Stutman, founder of @AdmiredLeaders, on what admired leaders do differently, giving feedback, and the behaviors that drive results.

With thanks to @AlphaSenseInc, Canoe, and Ridgeline.

“Thought doership” might be too cute for me… but I agree with John here.

[Admired Leadership @AdmiredLeaders]

Too many thought leaders.

Leadership is always about what you do.

Well said here, @jtwinsor

Love seeing the comments get a bit spicy today.

[Admired Leadership @AdmiredLeaders]

Leaders who give others “feedback” expect those receiving it to take it seriously and to act on it. It is not offered as an option. It is presented as a directive.

Not surprisingly, people naturally resist feedback and the power it derives from. https://t.co/LGCBeseg6K

Today I learned that the surfing brand Quicksilver based their logo design from The Great Wave off Kanagawa.

Well, of course they did,.

@bakerlink Is it necessary to call out that this is disposable?

Is there room in the market for a keeper???

[Mikey Ames @mikeyames]

@AdmiredLeaders If I had it to do over, the smart part of the phone wouldn’t even be turned on until past 16 for most of my kids.

[Mikey Ames @mikeyames]

One of my favorite things to bring out once a year…

[Admired Leadership @AdmiredLeaders]

Ideas have two distinct stages—origination and execution. Not everyone is good at both.

In those circumstances where the originator must step aside, leaders follow a well-worn playbook for smoothing over hurt feelings while still insisting on the best people to execute the idea.

[Mikey Ames @mikeyames]

LEGO has definitely become more expensive.

[Mikey Ames @mikeyames]

See what has become cheaper in the last 20 years...
All the things that dull your engagement with what makes life worth living.

There might be some cherry picking going on in this chart, so tell me something that throws off the depressing nature of what this chart preaches.
