Why Just A Little Zen Can Help You Be A Much Better Leader

Terry Starbucker

I can get away from myself sometimes. That state of being where things are happening so fast and furiously that all I do is react, instead of think. It’s during those times that my leadership suffers. Because I’m “ not all there “ I become a mile wide and an inch deep.

Rule #1: Human First, Then Leader

Terry Starbucker

As soon as we are labeled as a “leader&# , especially one in the executive suite, there is a very strong tendency to put ourselves on a pedestal. After all, we are on a higher rung on the ladder, right? If we’re not careful, this “higher level&# thinking can also have an effect on how we interact with our teammates. Suddenly, we’re more aloof, more reserved. “I’m the boss now – I cannot ‘mix it up’ as much with the team.

You can’t always get what you want

Change Starts Here

During a recent coaching session, a client and I recently debriefed a conversation she had had with an executive that hadn’t gone as well as she had expected.

Your Wake Up Pad

Steve Farber

It’s time for another WUP upside the head. I’ve written about this here before, and, of course, in The Radical Edge. Given the challenges many (most?) of us are facing today, I thought it an opportune time to fire up our natural, built in, idea-generation instincts.
