A Minute to Get It: How to Get Your Audience’s Attention and Action

In our last post, Myra Cocca discussed ways leaders can communicate in times of change. Today, I explore a related topic – how to get a share of the attention when people are bombarded with information – at work, home, in the car, and in the community. In a message-saturated world, how do you get someone to read your email, open your letter, spend time on your website, peruse your blog, listen to your presentation – and then take appropriate action?

Communicating Change to Employees

At no time is communication more important than when a change is occurring. Today’s post, by Myra Cocca, will help you tailor it to the needs of your audience.

Challenges

Lessons Learned from Amazing Women in History

In honor of Women’s History Month, today’s post shares stories of a handful of inspirational women with some lesser known facts and lessons learned – that inspire me. Hopefully they inspire you as well.

Leadership

Tuning in to New Signals

Today’s post is from Marilyn J. Smith, the founder of Consensus Building Partners. She uses consensus-building, facilitation and project management skills to help clients take informed, integrated and creative action. And she describes here, how her professional choices have become more anchored, and her actions more effective, due to a decision to work differently.

Are you Suffering from the Imposter Syndrome?

In my last post, I explored the idea of success and how it is defined. But I recognize that there is something at work that may rob you of the sweet joy of success, no matter how successful you are. It is called the Imposter Syndrome. There are a number of coping strategies we imposters employ. I have all of them in my repertoire – and am an expert at a few of them!

Success Redefined

“S – U – C – C – E – S – S , that’s the way to spell success.” Is a chant I’ve heard cheerleaders recite way too many times, from grade school on. Spelling success is not all that hard – defining it is much more difficult.

Can you be too Lean?

I am writing this post in the aftermath of a weekend getaway gone awry. The plan was simple – leave very early on Saturday morning, arrive at our favorite beach by 11, enjoy the island and friends and great seafood. And then out the next night- back in time to resume work on Monday.

Instead, I am at home… not at the beach.

The Do’s and Don’ts of Leadership Transparency

Leaders are advised these days to be transparent – but with little guidance on why and when and how. Today’s post looks at why leaders might choose to be transparent, and how to do so in ways that really do help achieve a higher purpose. And we’ll also look at when NOT to be transparent!

Why you Should Might Want to Banish This Word From Your Vocabulary

I had the opportunity to meet a brilliant young man this week. His list of accomplishments was long, his skill-set was broad, and his impact on others was positive and deep. Yet it was clear that he was struggling with a bad case of the “shoulds” and the second guessing that came with it.

Accountability

Traits are Assigned a Gender – Leadership is No Different

Female leaders who command are called names I can’t print. Men who emote are seen as weak and ineffectual. Which brings us to the classic question: Are gender differences genetic or learned? Nature or nurture? Hardwired or socially scripted? Scientists have struggled with this question for centuries. I don’t have the answer, but I do have some observations based on the statistical concept I call the “tyranny of the tails” that may provide some insight.
