This! I’ve been looking for good ways to define leadership and this is one of my favorites.

At its core, leadership is a way of being in the world that enables others to thrive.

Researchers studied the impact of meetings on our brains.

This is fascinating…

Why human judgment is sorely needed in an increasingly algorithmically driven world, by @DocGrawitch https://t.co/FDfZL9Q9g9

Depletes autonomy: "Hold my hand while we cross the street because I say so."

Supports autonomy: "Let's hold hands because drivers can't see you, but they can see me. I want you to be safe."

Give a choice when possible. When choice is not possible, give a good rationale.

The first night without your pupper is rough. Be at peace my sweet girl.

Listening promotes intuitive thinking. Reading activates more analytical processing.

5 experiments: in English & Chinese, people showed better logical reasoning when trivia questions, riddles, and puzzles were written rather than spoken.

Reading is vital to critical thinking.

@SeanKutzko That’s terribly clever. I went with something a little simpler….

Read this. Read it more than once. Apply some of the learning.
It’s going to be on my syllabi from now on.

Not all #failures are created equal! So I wrote in @HarvardBiz in 2011. https://t.co/8l1YStXkih.

Glad people are seeing the nuances; see link below.

Okay, so it’s 10+ years later 🙂

Many current "change management" models were created in the 1970s & don't work anymore. We must: 1) Connect change to wanted change 2) Engage influencers, not just "leaders" 3) Give all a stake 4) Have a neutral facilitator 5) Be role models: https://t.co/oeerbbf5HP V @Pragmadik

Top-down leadership is outdated and counterproductive. https://t.co/xc8q2fmXVG

@garrettpauley Spooky season, indeed!

[Susan David, Ph.D. @SusanDavid_PhD]

Instead of asking "WHAT do you want to BE when you grow up?" ask children "What problems do you want to solve?"

We are not defined or made worthy by our jobs.

When we ask what problems children want to solve we encourage curiosity, creativity and contribution.

[Amy Edmondson @AmyCEdmondson]

Oh, this is a good issue.
Re #andoncord: "After the cord is pulled...coworkers "swarm" over. One of the first things they do is thank the person who pulled the cord. This is crucial...because the interpersonal consequences of stopping the line & asking for help are significant."

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Bad leaders see power as an opportunity. Good leaders see it as a responsibility.

Framing power as a responsibility can discourage leaders from being selfish, making risky decisions, and ignoring advice.

It's time to teach people that power is for service, not self-interest.
