Leadership and Management

There are various Leadership Tips out there.  Many which point to the fact that “some people are just born leaders”.  Based on our expertise in training thousands of executives, and research, there is no such thing as a born leader. Just like there is no such things as a “born people’s person.” Leadership is a careful mix of many characteristics including people skills, drive, personal and emotional tenacity, which are nicely packaged and tied with a ribbon of humility.  Among the various qualities of leadership sucess, humility is being studied as a trait that can greatly enhance leadership effectiveness. Research suggests that humility is multi-dimensional and includes self-understanding and awareness, openness, and perspective taking.  Opposite to the term hubris which refers to overconfident pride and arrogance, humility empowers the individual to drive for excellence and meet face to face with and rectify the trials of the top leader, what we practice and incorporate here at the Center for Work Life in to our leadership training in the form of Emotional Intelligence.  Many organizations hire top executives, or their next CEO  based on their resume and come to be disaapointed.  Good leadership is not performed in a silo; which means its an interactions between traits, strong recruitment efforts to look for culture, team and value match.   So the question that remains is how does one put the right amount of each of the above ingredients to arrive at highest leadership success? What does a successful leader look like?  In other words, how does one learn to be a better leader? The answer is Training.  The greatest Leadership Tip we can provide here is that, leadership is a muscle and needs constant exercise.  The best leaders, make it their business to get the training and practice through having someone hold them accountable.

Leadership is certainly bound to have associated conflict.  The reason being that, on a daily basis not all decisions can make all parties involved happy.  External sources of conflict are at time just the tip of the iceberg and the emotions underneath are what can potentially resolve or grow the conflict.  Although conflict is a normal part of any healthy relationship and people can’t be expected to agree on everything, all the time, learning how to resolve conflict – rather than avoiding it – is crucial.  Read More
