Positive Leadership: Easter Message


Even before Adam Smith’s The Theory of Moral Sentiments, Judeo-Christian tradition stressed the importance of having a set of overarching values embedded within the financial system if we wish to have a sustainable market economy. 
This cannot just be codified in the hope that controls will compel wider ethical behaviour. It won’t. Ethics have to be taught as well as caught.
What the recent Co-op debacle in the UK reminded us (appropriate for an Easter reflection) is that we all fall short of the mark.

So, while we are all capable of acting on the prompting of our consciences but we also need to practise a new calibration, away from legacy laissez-faire, moral setting and towards an enlightened sustainable self-interest.

The key message of Easter is that good can come out of bad situations.

Positive Leadership: The Coaching Payoff

"Business coaching is attracting America’s top CEOs because, put simply, business coaching works. In fact, when asked for a conservative estimate of monetary payoff from the coaching they got… managers described an average return of more than $100,000, or about six times what the coaching had cost their companies.” ~ FORTUNE Magazine

Positive Leadership: More is Less


Greg McKeown saw first-hand how success can lead straight to professional and personal failure, during his career evaluating and coaching Silicon Valley executives. 

The heart of the problem, he says, is the insidious idea that we can do it all. As entrepreneurs and executives find success, they're often overwhelmed by expectations and options, and end up losing the single-minded focus that made them successful in the first place. 

Taking inspiration from legendary designer Dieter Ram's philosophy of "less but better", McKeown outlines an antidote in his book Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less, which features practical tips on how to figure out what's most important, eliminate the trivial, and establish routines for effortless execution.

Positive Leadership: Success in Negotiating


How did Ron Shapiro successfully negotiate Joe Mauer’s $184 million contract, the fourth largest contract in the history of baseball? 

He attributes his success with the Minnesota Twins catcher to his careful preparation. 

A new book, Perfecting Your Pitch: Howto Succeed in Business and in Life by Finding Words That Work, outlines the three-step process he developed as a sports agent and lawyer. 

Wharton management professor Adam M. Grant recently interviewed Shapiro about the process he uses. For more, see: http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/article/ron-shapiro-words-work/

Positive Leadership: Management v Leadership


The manager administers; the leader innovates.
The manager is a copy; the leader is an original.
The manager maintains; the leader develops.
The manager focuses on systems and structure; the leader focuses on people.
The manager relies on control; the leader inspires trust.
The manager has a short-range view; the leader has a long-range perspective.
The manager asks how and when; the leader asks what and why.
The manager has his or her eye always on the bottom line; the leader’s eye is on the horizon.
The manager imitates; the leader originates.
The manager accepts the status quo; the leader challenges it.

The manager is the classic good soldier; the leader is his or her own person
