Do You See Through the Lens of Process?
When things go wrong at work, what do we tend to do? Blame someone. That’s what the bad leader does, anyway. The good leader asks, “What’s going on here that allowed failure to happen? Are we setting people up for success? Does my team have the right resources, support, training, and processes?…

Leading Beyond Ego (1 of 2)
Ego. As in “his enormous ego” or “her fragile ego.” As in, “She’s a control freak” or “I’m afraid to talk to my boss.” Ego – the #1 obstacle to success and satisfaction in the workplace. You can’t eradicate it, since it exists for a critical purpose – self-protection. But when old ego strategies...

How Accountable Are You? (2 of 2)
In the 2nd of two parts, Jim & Steve lay out "The Contract" – their model that defines what to pay attention to in order to increase accountability in your team or organization. And remember, "accountability" is simply about doing what you say you're going to do. If you're not maximizing your...

How Accountable Are You? (1 of 2)

Six Best Words, Then Five

Go Team! The Power of Shared Vision II

Communicating Like a Leader - Part 2
In Part 2: Your dog might understand your communication better than your coworkers. Because your body language and vocal tone drive what others “hear” way more than your words do. And when YOU listen, is the voice of your internal monologue louder than the others’ words? So … want to communicate...
-
Communicating Like a Leader - Meaning What?
Leaders spend two-thirds of their day communicating. So if you want to develop as a leader, or advance your career, communication is the thing to work on. But when we talk about “great communicators,” we usually focused on only one of the three critical elements of effective communication. How do...
-
Do Your Work Relationships Have Backbone?
We EXPECT our leaders to be supportive – compassionate, understanding, great listeners. But we don’t often expect leaders to effectively CHALLENGE others at work. And yet if we don’t, what we get is passive, fear-based acceptance of mediocrity. In Part 2 of an exploration of workplace...
-
Two Guys Who Don't Want to Be Sexist
Talking gender in the workplace can be a “third rail.” Do men have anything to contribute to women who want to maximize their workplace potential (even though they can’t walk in their moccasins)?

Leadership Defined: Building Influence II

-
Leadership Defined: Building Influence I
Influence: the best one-word synonym for leadership. But it’s a soft term – how do you make it practical?

The Power of Silence

Microaggressions, Microaffirmations

The Most Misunderstood Workplace Topic, Part 2
Your boss can’t motivate you – not sustainably, anyway. She can only work to understand, and then build on, what you intrinsically find motivating. This is the hallmark of a great manager – the ability to “dig” for employees’ hidden potential by finding what each employee finds valuable and...
-
Motivation - The Most Misunderstood Workplace Topic, Part 1
What science knows about motivation, business seldom does.

But if what you...

Don't Just Do Something, Sit There - Part 2
You know that to be a better leader, you can’t just get stuff done; you have to think about how to get stuff done better. But in a results-driven culture, it’s hard to carve out “sandal” time – time to plan, analyze, research, build processes and relationships. Jim & Steve offer tools and…

Don't Just Do Something, Sit There - Part 1
Have you been recognized, maybe promoted, for your productivity or efficiency? Then taking time to think, to plan, to evaluate, to research, to dialogue – that might seem a distraction from the important work of gettin’ stuff done. Au contraire, say Jim and Steve. If you want to be a leader, you...

You're Not As Rational As You Think, Part 1
You think you reason based on facts. You don’t. We’ll prove to you your mind isn’t as logical as you think. And you still won’t believe it, because … well, you’re not as rational as you think. And the “why” will surprise you. But what does this mean for the workplace? Here’s what Jim & Steve…

The Culture Monster & The Culture Warrior
Is it okay to tell the truth to your boss? How does your team behave with each other? Do employees get away with victim language, or us-vs.-them language, or black/white language? These are the questions that define your workplace culture. And if the culture isn’t healthy, forget strategy.…

Step Up or Step Aside
You might no longer be a fit for your role. If your organization is growing or changing — and do you know any that aren’t? — sometimes roles evolve beyond the people who occupy them. Jim & Steve offers tips for making sure you’re riding the wave of your organization’s growth rather than getting...
-
The Culture Monster - What To Do About It
Your workplace culture is like tree roots. Can’t see them, so you forget they determine the success or failure of the tree. You can’t see your company’s REAL values and beliefs (never mind the plaque in the lobby). But those REAL values and beliefs drive how people behave, so they limit…

-
Are You Making the Leadership Choice?
Before you can learn “how” to be a leader, ask yourself: Do I CHOOSE to lead? Do I have a vision of what’s possible? Am I willing to risk toward that vision? … and to experience failure in the process? Am I willing to be suspended in a never-ending series of gaps between what is and what might be?

What's Really Happening In Your Conversations
