NEW: Is it too grand for you to have a ‘vision’ for your team?

Or can you even lead without having an idea of where you want the team to go?

Excellent article on the the difference between ‘Time Management’ and ‘Task Management’. 🫶🏻

@polak_jasper You might like (not mine) this article at @thearmyleader, lots of similar content. Clearly a universal truth: poorly run meetings make people introduce their eyeballs to pins or cocktail sticks!! Arguably even more important for virtual/hybrid meetings.

A bold - but true - statement from @JMMontgomeryCo:

‘Saying “I don’t know” isn’t a sign of ignorance. It’s a sign of confident humility.’

How comfortable are you saying it?

[Jordan M. Montgomery @JMMontgomeryCo]

One of the most powerful statements we can ever make in our business and our life is "I don't know."

In a world full of people who seem to be under the undeniable impression that they know everything, a person who can say, "I don't know," is a breath of fresh air.

Make sure your team exhibit the kind of values you want to see more of.

Values are infectious.

Reward what you want to see more of.

Hi! I’m Lt Kayla Haas, a Marine Communication Strategy & Operations (COMMSTRAT) Officer and — when time allows — a whiteboard enthusiast.

I saw a rise in followers this weekend (so grateful!) and thought I’d share a thread on the evolution of my whiteboard.

This is one I've used to start off discussion in a few CPD/discussion sessions

@Average_S0ldier My Cadre (1985 Cyprus) involved way too much bulling and inspections. Being pulled up for sand in the room was just stupid.
But
I remember the leadership lessons to this day

“People believe the problems they face are unsolvable, based on the narratives they have written for themselves.” Challenge yourself and your assumptions.
Start With Another Narrative. #leadership

Will your leadership strengths derail you?
Some brightside leadership characteristics have a darkside. Strengths as a junior leader can derail you when you become more senior.

When we select our future high potential leaders do we wonder if extremes of personality might just derail them in the future – and what should we do about it?

Create peer-learning through some ‘Coffee and Clausewitz’.
“…safeguard these activities. If you want to establish true peer-learning it is important that everyone sees this time as a valuable investment.”
