  • Leading Thoughts for January 16, 2025
    by Michael McKinney on January 17, 2025 at 8:14 pm

    IDEAS shared have the power to expand perspectives, change thinking, and move lives. Here are two ideas for the curious mind to engage with: I. Joel Kurtzman on leadership: “The leader is not separate from the group he or she leads. Rather, the leader is the organization’s glue—the force that binds it together, sets its direction, and makes certain that the group functions as one. Good leaders are not outsiders who cheer on a group. They are part of that group, integrated deeply into its fabric and emotional life. Connecting with the group you lead means demonstrating you are part of the group, understand its challenges, can do its jobs, and can stand the pressure and the heat.” Source: Common Purpose: How Great Leaders Get Organizations to Achieve the Extraordinary II. Greg Satell on identifying a keystone change: “To create real change, change that sticks and won’t be soon reversed, you need to identify a fundamental issue that encapsulates the value of the mission—a keystone change that is concrete and tangible, unites the efforts of multiple stakeholders, and paves the way for greater change. Revolutions don’t begin with a slogan—they begin with a cause. “It is never enough to merely state grievances to challenge the status quo. To create meaningful change, you must put forward an affirmative vision for what you want the future to look like. You have to define an alternative that is actually better, not just for those who agree with you, but for the vast…

    by Dan Rockwell on January 15, 2025 at 11:31 am

    Wisdom is abrasive to hardheads. I sought wisdom from a business leader and didn’t like what I heard. I asked the same question the next day to another leader, and he told me the same thing! Ignorance dies slowly. Do 5 these things to gain wisdom…

  • Relationships with Discomforting People
    by Dan Rockwell on January 14, 2025 at 11:31 am

    Relationships take you places. Include discomforting people in your relationship circle. A kick in the pants is often more useful than a pat on the back (especially if you are already excelling). Ask a stranger what they are great at. Follow up with, “How did you get great at that?”

  • The Novice Advantage
    by Dan Rockwell on January 10, 2025 at 12:04 pm

    The beauty of a novice is ignorance. Beginners haven’t learned what can’t be done. People with untested skills dream bigger than experts. Novices underestimate difficulty and oversimplify complexity. Let novices try things even if you think they might fail. Who knows? They might succeed.

    by Michael McKinney on January 9, 2025 at 3:56 pm

    IDEAS shared have the power to expand perspectives, change thinking, and move lives. Here are two ideas for the curious mind to engage with: I. Jack Trout on being a doer: “The best leaders know that direction alone is no longer enough. The best leaders are storytellers, cheerleaders, and facilitators. They reinforce their sense of direction or vision with words and action.” Source: The Power of Simplicity: A Management Guide to Cutting Through the Nonsense and Doing Things Right II. Jack Welch on simplicity: “For a large organization to be effective, it must be simple. Insecure managers create complexity. Real leaders don’t need clutter. People must have the self-confidence to be clear, precise, to be sure that every person in their organization—highest to lowest—understands what the business is to achieve. But it’s not easy. You can’t believe how hard it is for people to be simple, how much they fear being simple. They worry that if they’re simple, people will think they’re simple-minded. In reality, of course, it’s just the reverse. Clear, tough-minded people are the most simple.” Source: Noel Tichy and Ram Charan: Speed, Simplicity, Self-Confidence: An Interview with Jack Welch, Harvard Business Review * * * Look for these ideas every Thursday on the Leading Blog.

    IDEAS shared have the power to expand perspectives, change thinking, and move lives. Here are two ideas for the curious mind to engage with: I. Brian Tracy on zero-based thinking: “To simplify your life, zero-based thinking is one of the most powerful strategies you can learn and apply on a regular basis. Here’s how it works. Ask yourself, ‘Is there anything I am doing right now that, knowing what I now know, I wouldn’t get into again if I were starting over today?’” Source: Focal Point: A Proven System to Simplify Your Life, Double Your Productivity, and Achieve All Your Goals II. Donald Miller on creating meaning: “We build lives of meaning by stating an ambition, by enduring challenges, and by sharing our lives with others. The single characteristic that sets heroes apart is that they are willing to accept a challenge that will ultimately transform them. Heroes take action, which is why they are so good at experiencing meaning.” Source: Hero on a Mission: A Path to a Meaningful Life * * * Look for these ideas every Thursday on the Leading Blog.

  • First Look: Leadership Books for January 2025
    by Michael McKinney on January 1, 2025 at 10:40 pm

    HERE’S A LOOK at some of the best leadership books to be released in January 2025 curated just for you. Be sure to check out the other great titles being offered this month. Mindmasters: The Data-Driven Science of Predicting and Changing Human Behavior by Sandra Matz There are more pieces of digital data than there are stars in the universe. This data helps us monitor our planet, decipher our genetic code, and take a deep dive into our psychology. As algorithms become increasingly adept at accessing the human mind, they also become more and more powerful at controlling it, enticing us to buy a certain product or vote for a certain political candidate. Some of us say this technological trend is no big deal. Others consider it one of the greatest threats to humanity. But what if the truth is more nuanced and mind-bending than that? In Mindmasters, Columbia Business School professor Sandra Matz reveals in fascinating detail how big data offers insights into the most intimate aspects of our psyches and how these insights empower an external influence over the choices we make. With passion and clear-eyed precision, Matz shows us how to manage psychological targeting and redesign the data game. Mindmasters is a riveting look at what our digital footprints reveal about us, how they’re being used—for good and for ill—and how we can gain power over the data that defines us.

  • 5 Leadership Lessons: Tony Blair on Leadership Essentials
    by Michael McKinney on December 27, 2024 at 5:12 pm

    TONY BLAIR wrote a book about leadership in government. However, his practical ideas on leading in the 21st century apply across the board. Leadership, both good and bad, leaves clues for us to study how other leaders have handled problems and challenges common in all leadership situations. On Leadership does just that. It is the unwise leader who thinks they know everything. Learning from others’ mistakes and successes is the best way to guard against leadership hubris. Below are a selection of Blair’s thoughts on leadership.   Leaders have the courage not to go with the flow. They speak up when others stay silent. They act when others hesitate. They take the risk, not because they fail to identify it as risk but because they believe a higher purpose means the risk should be taken. The Leader sets out for the people what they need and not simply what they want. Otherwise, the Leader is just a follower.   If You come across something unpleasant or cruel that has been written about you: DON’T READ IT! If it’s a horrible headline, ignore it. If it’s an awful article, don’t look at it. None of this means that you shouldn’t listen to sensible and serious criticism. You should. You can learn from it. But you won’t learn anything from the stuff that’s vomiting forth, that’s written for clicks, that delights in its nastiness, that takes pleasure in the hope it is inflicting pain. And if you let it get to…

    by Michael McKinney on December 26, 2024 at 8:42 pm

    IDEAS shared have the power to expand perspectives, change thinking, and move lives. Here are two ideas for the curious mind to engage with: I. Joe Davis on engaging the skeptics: “Have you ever been in a room, presenting an idea for change, and someone says, ‘Oh, that will never work’? Or you’ve solicited feedback as you work through your options, and you hear the ‘No, we cannot do that’? Your instinct might be to be defensive or just ignore them, but their perspective and experience, if you can embrace it, will strengthen your position. Asking for more information about why they feel the way they do, and then listening carefully to what they say, can be the best course of action.” Source: The Generous Leader: 7 Ways to Give of Yourself for Everyone’s Gain II. Behnam Tabrizi on the challenge to breaking organizational inertia: “Besides the inertia of size and complexity, human nature is the main obstacle to change. People are conditioned to give away their own power. From being entirely dependent as infants, to partially dependent as we grow into adulthood, we are tempted to continue that pattern. We often abdicate our own thinking to the books we read and the lectures we hear; we leave the dictates of morality to religious leaders and our diet to doctors. Essentially, we’re too afraid to think for ourselves. In the workplace, we’re comfortable ceding our power to the bureaucratic hierarchy so we can settle into a predictable, stable set…

  • 10 Books You Should Read This Winter 2024
    by Michael McKinney on December 25, 2024 at 8:38 pm

    THE WINTER months are the perfect time for a little binge-reading. While I can’t promise that any of the titles suggested are cozy reads, they will get you fired up. Personally, I would start with Productive Failure and Mindshift. Like The Illusion of Innovation by Elliott Parker, they will get you thinking in new ways and set you up for the others. Use this list to create your own winter reading plan. Here are ten suggestions to begin the new year intentionally.   On Leadership: Lessons for the 21st Century by Tony Blair – (September 2024) The leadership manual Tony Blair wishes he had when he became prime minister, with personal insights and global examples that show aspiring leaders how to go from talking about change to making change. Sir Tony Blair learnt the precepts of governing the hard way: by leading a country for over ten years. In that time he came to understand that there were certain key characteristics of successful government that he wished he had known when he started. Now Sir Tony has written the manual on political leadership that he would have wanted back in 1997, sharing the insights he has gained from his personal experience and from observing other world leaders at first hand, both while he was in office and since, through his Institute’s work with political leaders and governments globally.   Mindshift: Ignite Change, Inspire Action, and Innovate for a Better Tomorrow by Brian Solis – (October 2024) Every company needs…

  • Be Powerful & Em-Powerful!
    by Michael McKinney on December 20, 2024 at 4:29 pm

    EMPOWERMENT has turned into a buzzword that’s lost its meaning. We all know what being powerful—or, euphemistically, influential—looks like. But to be empowering—how clear is that? Worse than unclear, empowering is widely misunderstood. For forceful leaders, it’s seen as giving power away; giving power to your staff means giving up your power. It’s easy for forceful leaders to feel that granting power to others takes away from their own power or that they are somehow rendered “passive,” as one forceful leader put it. Power is simply a means to the end of getting things done. It shouldn’t matter whether it’s your power or “Other” power. You can grind grain into flour by your own hand using a mortar and pestle, which human beings learned to do at the dawn of agriculture. Or, as people discovered centuries later, you can spare yourself that manual labor and produce a lot more grain if you hitch horses or water or wind power to the mill. Three Types of Empowerment #1. Delegation. Delegation of authority is letting your people do their jobs. Delegation of authority is certainly not abdication. It’s taking an active role in arranging for some other source of power to be transmitted to the grinding stone. It is spooling out authority and then staying engaged to the degree necessary. #2. Taking counsel. Empowerment isn’t just granting power down. It’s also accepting power up. Because every leader is fallible—at risk of making costly errors of judgment—there is great merit in taking…

    by Michael McKinney on December 19, 2024 at 9:11 pm

    IDEAS shared have the power to expand perspectives, change thinking, and move lives. Here are two ideas for the curious mind to engage with: I. Nido Qubein on becoming a transformational leader: “Our team knows that the highest order of leadership is to tell the truth. Yet, that is just the beginning. You consciously and intentionally have to bring your business, social, spiritual, and family lives together; each plays a part in who you are as a leader. When you do, your life is like a beautiful song. Its harmony influences others, it can move people, and anyone looking at you will know what kind of person you really are.” Source: Extraordinary Transformation: An Entrepreneurial Blueprint for Leaders Who Seek Transformational Growth in Any Organization Proven Lessons on How a … and Inspired the Next Generation of Leaders II. Manu Kapur on learning and teaching actionable knowledge: “Experts see different things than novices. Novices tend to see superficial features, but experts see what is essential, the deep structure and critical features. It is seeing the deep structure that leads to understanding and powerful learning. When learning something new, it is much too easy to find the path of least resistance. It is most natural to seek the easy way out. However, making learning easy does not always ease learning. If not intentionally designed to leverage failure in the initial stages, learning tends to be shallow and inflexible. But with it, learning is deep, flexible, and adaptive. Productive Failure suggests…

  • The Wisdom of Charles Handy
    by Michael McKinney on December 16, 2024 at 4:39 pm

    SOCIAL philosopher Charles Handy died at 92 on December 13, 2024. He specialized in organizational behavior and management. From his books, The Hungry Spirit, The Age of Unreason, and 21 Letters on Life and Its Challenges are a selection of his wisdom. Growth does not have to mean more of the same. It can mean better rather than bigger. It can mean leaner or deeper, both of which might improve rather than expand the current position. Businesses can grow more profitable by becoming better, or leaner, or deeper, more concentrated without growing bigger. Bigness, in both business and life, can lead to a lack of focus, too much complexity, and, in the end, too wide a spread to control. We have to know when big is big enough. — The Hungry Spirit I still find, after all these years, that I need some psychological “stroking” at least once a week, someone to say, “That was great. You really did an excellent job there.” “How then,” I ask managers, “do you think that people in your organizations can survive with one psychological stroke a year, usually combined with some well-intended but critical comment?” Our self-respect is a fragile thing, even if we pretend otherwise—damage it and we cease to listen. — The Hungry Spirit To be loved, to be held in genuine affection, is the best foundation for learning about oneself. Such love does not have to be uncritical, nor undemanding. In fact, the more demanding and the more exacting…

  • How to Harness Your Top Performers Without Compromising the Whole Team
    by Michael McKinney on December 13, 2024 at 5:17 pm

    ONE OF the key questions for executives, business leaders, and entrepreneurs is how to keep raising the bar and ensure a continuous increase in your organization’s success year after year. To me, one of the biggest factors is how you specifically engage and develop your best performers — the ones who make a real difference. One of my clients, Richard, had a standout employee, Stella: at the top of her game, knowledgeable, driven, and skilled at connecting the dots. Hired for a key role in Richard’s organization, she quickly rose to a level of performance above many on her team. Therein lay the challenge. A Speedy Transformation Ruffles Some Feathers First, let’s take a look at Stella’s fast trajectory. She went through all four stages of her own evolution as a leader — what I call an Executive Performance Transformation — unusually fast: From Day One she was highly drawn to her role. She soon became obsessed with performing its tasks to the highest level. She then shifted to a mindset of effective decision-making, problem-solving, and delegation, and saw how her work fit within the organization’s bigger picture. As a leader, she was ready for success. She was able to ultimately achieve high performance with tremendous self-assurance – almost playfully.. Stella continued to shine, delivering top results confidently and consistently, embracing her own stretch goals, and role-modeling the company’s wider culture. She prioritized appropriately for overall success and was always willing to put in extra effort when needed. Richard…

  • The Best Leadership Books of 2024
    by Michael McKinney on December 10, 2024 at 7:40 pm

    THE titles listed below, published in 2024, improve our self-awareness regarding relationships and communication the sine qua non of leadership and provide us with a wider perspective on innovation and the changes taking place around us.   Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connectionby Charles Duhigg(Random House, 2024)Come inside a jury room as one juror leads a starkly divided room to consensus. Join a young CIA officer as he recruits a reluctant foreign agent. And sit with an accomplished surgeon as he tries, and fails, to convince yet another cancer patient to opt for the less risky course of treatment. In Supercommunicators, Charles Duhigg blends deep research and his trademark storytelling skills to show how we can all learn to identify and leverage the hidden layers that lurk beneath every conversation. Communication is a superpower, and the best communicators understand that whenever we speak, we’re actually participating in one of three conversations: practical (What’s this really about?), emotional (How do we feel?), and social (Who are we?). If you don’t know what kind of conversation you’re having, you’re unlikely to connect. (Blog Post) Possible: How We Survive (and Thrive) in an Age of Conflictby William Ury(Harper Business, 2024)One of the world’s top experts in the field, Ury has worked on conflicts ranging from boardroom battles to labor strikes, from the US partisan divide to family feuds, from wars in the Middle East, Colombia and Ukraine to helping the US and USSR avoid nuclear disaster.

    Botanists will tell you to have a vision for how you want a plant to look before you start pruning it. The same is true for your life and your business. Whether you’re talking about programs, processes, personal commitments, or even people – over time, they all tend to accumulate. You simply end up with more of everything.
