Leadership: jargon is your ally and your enemy
published: 2011-07-18
My wife and I recently visited the Venice Biennale including the key national pavilions plus 30 smaller exhibits across the city. As with most expositions (artistic or other), this one ranges from the amazing to, yes, the abysmal. But the explanatory handouts fall within a narrower range: from dismal to abysmal. Full of phrases like “subtracted singularities”, “coloured epiphanies”, “discursive modalities” and “the temple of our contemporaneity”. Jargon can be useful. It facilitates high-value, coded communication between close colleagues. But, it can equally be a smokescreen that sounds smart but is empty of meaning to others. So, how does your own leadership jargon rate? Here are six words, which often come across like Biennale waffle. And, with each, some actions you could take to give your words operational meaning. ... read more
Leadership: are you strong, or just a blowhard?
published: 2010-12-06
Seth Godin has done it again. His blog about Demonstrating Strength* highlights 10 actions fearless leaders can take. Frightened ones present a façade of bravado and noise – but often this hides a deep fear someone might discover their weakness or mistakes. In contrast, courageous leaders are happy to be open and honest – about themselves and what’s happening around them. I particularly like Seth’s list as it includes actions that are part of my Leadership Action Planning approach. It’s hard not to like someone, who seems to agree with you – or am I being fearful there? Anyhow, how would your people rate you on Seth’s items in bold below – which I’ve extended with some further commentary? ... read more
LEADERSHIP: INNOVATE - BUT CAREFULLY
published: 2009-05-25
Check out these quotes! "Your planning process is superb." It's "excellent ... a very simple but very effective management tool." And, the resource material is "the best stuff I've seen." Yes, I'm showing off. These three recent comments refer to our online Leadership-Action-Planning tool. And, they're from: the CEO of a web-based business; the local head of a global investment bank; and, the CEO of a specialist insurance business. Sounds good. But, we're still struggling for uptake. So, how's your own (product and process) innovation? In tough times, innovation's key. But, it comes with challenges. So, let's review the lessons. ... read more
LEADERSHIP: WHAT'S YOUR PLAN?
published: 2009-02-23
High (often unreasonable) expectations await newly appointed presidents - whether taking the helm of a company or a country. For President Obama, this is multiplied manyfold. His personal story, and the dreams it creates for others, breaks hugely with the past. And, he steps up in the face of challenges of hurricane proportions. How will he go? Sadly, if his current economic and financial initiatives fail, the dreams of many may end almost before they're born. So, let's take stock of your leadership (of your team, project or business): how difficult are things going forward? And, what the hell are you doing about them? ... read more
LEADERSHIP: ARE YOUR CARROTS FRESH AND SWEET?
published: 2008-11-24
As children, we learnt about rewards. We got dessert, if we finished our spinach. We went to the fair, if our rooms were tidy. It's not surprising therefore that as adults, incentives still work for most of us.
