Is humility an important trait for a leader?
When one thinks of good leadership qualities, I am not sure humility jumps to the front of the list.  Should it?  We at LGL Leadership think so.  Leaders who possess humility will be more: Open to the possibility of errors in their thinking Open to really listening to others Empathetic Focused on building successful team Able to focus both on themselves (self-awareness) and others Focused on service to others...

Animal Leadership
Some thoughts from our colleague, Dr. Les Knotts: “If you are an animal, the first thing you want to do when you get on the farm is get a name. That way, you won’t get processed.”... more...

Is Employee Engagement Just the Latest Leadership Fad?
Our friend, Leigh Branham, suggested that I set up an automated "Google Alert" on employee engagement so that I could be updated with the latest blog posts, book reviews, corporate trends, and other insights related to this subject. One post, distributed yesterday, took a contrarian view to the attention being paid to this subject,... more...

The Leadership Conversation
As our capable Online Community facilitator pointed out recently, seems we (LeaderLabs) are doing all the talking. I'd like to listen for a while. Someone out there has come across a challenge they're struggling with, or has discovered some "secret sauce" that has been truly effective, a best practice. I'd like to hear them... more...

I'm Tired of Leadership "Historians" - Be a Leadership "Pioneer"
A colleague of mine forwarded yet another report on the state of leadership globally. Ever bleak, I finished this assessment much as I have the last dozen I've read - "got it...now what do we do about it?" more...

However, while you might have an employee engagement dashboard driven by recurring surveys, it's more likely that you don't. Yet, there are other indicators that you may be... more...

Employ Your Mom (or Dad)!

Switching it Up - How about leading by presupposing disengagement?
I am fortunate to work for a company who believes what LL believes. We are a federal contractor with an incredibly transient workforce - one that is likely to change employers every year as the organization who "owns the contract" changes while the person "doing the work" remains where they are. As a more precise example, I have... more...

A fresh start, fresh outcomes?
As we close out the past year, and look forward with optimism to a new year, what is most important to you and to your organization in 2011?   As I look back on the last 12 months, there are definitely some things that stand out when it comes to creating and sustaining successful teams.  Over the course of dozens of CEO events across the country,... more...
