“A (person) should never be appointed to a managerial position if his vision focuses on ppl's weaknesses rather than on their strengths. The (person) who always knows what ppl cannot do, but never sees what they can do, will undermine the spirit of the organization,” Drucker.
Dear Leaders,
Ask. For. Feedback. If you don’t do this with your team, you are making a huge mistake. Most employees, even if they’re miserable, will quit their jobs before they come to you and voice critical feedback. #dearleaders#EQ#leadership
A person without direction is lost, even if they’re busy.
Aspirational people hate squandering energy. Everyone wants to engage in work that matters.
Giving direction is more than responsibility. It’s a gift to high performers. Ask team members what’s important today.
When you entertain people that have traumatized others, you're entertaining their guilt, denial, cruelty, & refusal to be held accountable so the people they’ve tried to destroy are heard. You are protecting people who will eventually hurt you the way you've seen them hurt others
A great article (with reading list) on why women are likely to experience imposter syndrome more than men. We need to start by "dismantling male-biased social & leadership styles that equate confidence & power as competence": https://t.co/dDQeXxCZjx Via @HBRAscend; graphic: @xkcd
People who haven’t figured out their own lives find comfort in controlling others.
Successful managers release people within established guidelines.

Random thought:
Last year, someone called me an overachiever.
I told them that was a misnomer; “I am achieving at the level I am accustomed.”
Never heard from that person again.
Seek input early and first.
Don’t ask naysayers for permission to try something new. Tell them you’re developing a new course of action. “What problems might we encounter if we…?”

Six "trade-offs": factors that need to be balanced in leading a system. They are not "either/or" problems to be solved. They are "both/and" tensions to be managed. Leaders & teams that manage these as tensions typically perform better than those who don’t. Graphic; Peter Brownell
@KenSimCity It is completely unacceptable that you are condoning the thin blue line patch worn by your counsellor, Brian Montague. It is a symbol of White Supremacy and absolutely indefensible. For shame, to both of you.
