First here is a deeper more philosophical view of effective modern leadership which addresses the foundations of effective leadership, rather than the styles and methods built on top, which are explained later. A British government initiative surfaced in March 2008, which suggested that young people should swear an oath of allegiance to 'Queen and Country', seemingly as a means of improving national loyalty, identity, and allegiance. While packaged as a suggestion to address 'disaffection' among young people, the idea was essentially concerned with leadership - or more precisely a failing leadership.

  • Leadership: The Rest Of The Story - Most people instinctively know what leadership is. In all of the surveys that have been done in this area people usually define leadership as either "responsibility" or "accountability." There is a huge difference between these two terms.

However, the shock was so great I felt I had landed on a different planet.

  • Leadership Skill: Leaving A Leadership Legacy - Take a look at all the leaders who have left a positive legacy of organizational effectiveness, and what do you find. Breadth, depth, and talent. But what do they actually do? They develop themselves, they develop others, they develop big ideas, and they develop high performance cultures.

Communication is minimal, team motivation is meager, and strategy sessions are like pulling teeth. In fact, no one even wants to look you in the eye. You, as the leader, are very perplexed. These are the very same people who, last quarter, put together and executed a very impressive project. Their project manager gave them a great recommendation.
  • Leadership: The Magic Of Feedback - Many organizations are over managed. Key executives believe in the process of micro managing subordinates and overseeing all activities. What this business model does is create a lot of busy work but essentially is much less productive.
  • Leadership - Are you in a fog when it comes to leading your team and your own business leadership? - Leadership isn't an exact science and is uniquely carried out by each individual leader according to the leader's own style, ethics, background and the situation. This week while taking a walk in the snow and watching my horses in the fog I couldn't help but think how often we feel lost in the fog with no clear idea of what to do next for our business or team. Just like my horse April, we sometimes feel like hanging our head and doing nothing..staying deep in the fog. So today when in my quiet time the writer used (Psalms 46:10) "Be still, and know" it made sense to me. To get out of our fog we need to be still. We can't hear the answers to our leadership and business problems unless we slow down and be still.

  • How to Have a Lousy, Miserable, Failed Tenure as a Volunteer Board Member - Does that sound like a crazy headline coming from a management consultant?

The following tips are gleaned from years of experience, and the pain of trial and error.

  • Leadership is not a position - Instead Leadership is a way of being. Customer Service Manager.. Inventory Manager.. Supply Chain Vice President.. Business Consultant... Instructional Designer... V.P. Of Manufacturing ...CEO and CFO... Project Manager These are all positions and in these positions you may or may not exhibit leadership skills. It is possible to perform these roles and not be a leader. I didn't say it was possible to perform these roles excellently and not be a leader however.
  • Common Sense Is The Best Leadership Quality - While there is no doubt about the fact that common sense works where all other techniques fail it is equally true that common sense is not all that common. Common sense is the best leadership tool you can use to lead your team. It is often seen that leaders who go by the book do not manage to get the same results as another leader who just uses plain and simple common sense manages to achieve. The trouble with those who have loads of specialized education on leadership is that they get entangled in their theories and lose sight of the practicality of the situation.

  • Leadership Skill: Empowerment Uncertainties - Between the subjects of goal setting and decision making is an enormous crevasse, into which teams fall, then fester and stink up the joint.

Yet it is probably the most important kind of deciding that occurs on teams.

One of the keys to optimizing your Google AdWords campaign is the relevancy of the keywords that you use. There are a number of types of search phrases that might be included in your AdWords campaign. These phrases will determine how your advertisement is triggered. As an example we will be selling products related to the phrase “leadership training.
  • Fostering A Great Leadership Environment - As top management, LEADING your people is the most important part of the roles and responsibilities you have to fulfill. Leading can be in terms of advising, teaching, deciding, directing or managing tasks. All these fall under the mantle of leadership. Quality people are the most valuable resource of any organization today. And you must provide the most caring and inspired leadership to nurture, develop and retain this resource. Leadership implies using every opportunity in order to inspire and attain excellence. While each leader has a signature style of leadership, it is important that the leader be adaptable in response to different situations. No one style will work for all situations.
  • Leadership: The Step To Success - Have you ever heard of a business where there is no leader, or in a more technical term, a boss? Perhaps it is quite inconceivable, since it is highly significant in every field that someone directs them toward their goal.
  • Leadership - Being Likable is an important Business Strategy - Hillary Clinton was told this week at the New Hampshire Caucus that she was not as "likable" as Barack Obama.

In the Iowa Caucus, Obama and Edwards took the lead due not only to their politics but because they were more "likable". Regardless of your political views if you listen to the buzz around Clinton and Obama you know that "likability" matters.
  • Leadership’s Strategic Edge - There are huge voids of leadership in North American businesses. Managers are doing activities but they are not leading. I see it frequently in my consulting practice. You experience it every day at your work place. The result is a significant loss of a desirable strategic edge to you over your industry. To move an organization toward its full potential a manager needs two core competencies. They are managership and leadership. The skill sets are cousins and not interchangeable. The first, managership, is concerned with organization care while the second, leadership, is concerned with people care. We are fair at managership because management sciences are sophisticated, documented, and validated. Business schools adequately teach these skills.
