Great leaders aren't always found with title CEO or manager on their business card. Anyone can demonstrate leadership qualities. It's not about winning a popularity contest. You don't have to be liked to be respected. It's about serving and influencing others regardless of their job title in the effort to achieve a certain goal. So what does it take for you to become the next great leader?

You know the drill - it's time to give a candidate feedback on why they didn't get the job.  Of course, you're fearful you're going to be sued as a result of your bumbling on this conversation. Whether you're a HR pro or a hiring manager, it's a tough conversation. But you're great! You'll land somewhere. The first one can be true. We hate giving real feedback because we hate conflict.

It is usually the Human Resources manager that is responsible for bargaining with unionised groups, partly because history has proven such negotiations can become heated and can have far reaching consequences if not handled properly.

It’s something that most HR executives have learned over the years, but that most managers have yet to figure out. Whenever managers are polled about the most effective employee retention tools , money and benefits always top the list. In stark contrast, whenever employees are polled on the same subject, the results are quite different. Case in point, a recent poll found the most important values to employees were: The ability to balance work and life. (We call this a family-friendly environment.). The meaningfulness of the work.

A recurring source of frustration in the leaders with which I work is changing the behavior of their team members. One of the reasons behavior change isn’t communicated effectively is leaders fail to consider the focus of each team member. Ds and Is tend to be future focused. That is they are looking up at the top of the mountain, not the path in front of them. Ss and Cs tend to be present focused. That is they are looking down at the ground where their next step will take them, not their ultimate destination. Articles DISC Blog Uncategorized

Much like electricity which cannot be seen but empowers the devices, culture is an invisible force that drives beliefs, habits, rituals and outcomes of an organization. In fact, culture is a sum total of an organization’s shared values, behaviors, rituals, beliefs, attitudes, goals and practices. It exerts a powerful influence on day to day behaviors and choices of people. Yet, the truth is that most organizations are not aware about the current state of their culture. If culture is anyway being formed, why not work to build it consciously? Reward what you want more of.
