Positive Leadership: How to Lead Successfully in a Crisis

How to lead successfully in a crisis:

First, you need the knowledge. In a crisis, there is no way forward without knowing your industry, your business.

Second, you must also be willing to listen to counsel and integrate disparate data and information, yet act with determination.

Third, being prepared to take risks, able to think outside textbook prescriptions and ready to go beyond what others have done are qualities that become essential in dealing with the most severe crises.

When this knowledge, determination and creativity are combined with humility and humanity, the leader becomes an inspiration.

Positive Leadership: Confidence and Courage are Overrated

Brené Brown is a research professor at the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work. 

She has spent the past ten years studying vulnerability, courage, authenticity, and shame. She spent the first five years of her decade-long study focusing on shame and empathy, and is now using that work to explore a concept that she calls Wholeheartedness. 

She poses the questions:

How do we learn to embrace our vulnerabilities and imperfections so that we can engage in our lives from a place of authenticity and worthiness? 

How do we cultivate the courage, compassion, and connection that we need to recognise that we are enough – that we are worthy of love, belonging, and joy?

Positive Leadership: It’s Not Too Late to Reinvent Yourself

Professional reinvention is different later in your career. 

Over-50 professionals who hope to make a transition should consider these tips:

•   Overqualified? Own it. Instead of ducking the issue, lead with it. Having been a manager, you understand the pressures and frustrations your potential employer faces, so you can be an even better employee.

  

•   Social media is no longer optional. If you don’t have a presence on basic sites like LinkedIn or Twitter, you’re likely to be dismissed as a Luddite. Your social presence is increasingly viewed as a proxy for staying current professionally.

•   Connect with your past. Some of the most valuable professional opportunities come from people we’ve lost touch with. In the years since you last communicated, your “dormant ties” have connected with new people and gathered new knowledge. Your history and shared experience makes it more comfortable to reconnect; reach out and reintroduce yourself.
