Emotional Intelligence: Cult or Competitive Advantage
When I’m working with leaders to identify their most critical development needs, often factors related to Emotional Intelligence become part of the discussion. So imagine my surprise when I read a post on LinkedIn titled, "Emotional Intelligence is Overrated". Read my response at Huffington Post. Continue reading

The Volunteer Guide to Leadership
I'm delighted to introduce you to my friend and colleague David M. Dye. I asked David to share his wisdom via a guest blog because of his experience working with leaders who want to get more done, build teams that care, and meet their goals. He is the President of Trailblaze, Inc, tweets from @davidmdye, and welcomes your LinkedIn invitation. His book, The Seven Things Your Team Needs to Hear You Say is available on Amazon.com. Uh-Oh Joanne handed me an envelope. Inside was a single page. I unfolded the paper with its neat creases and found a letter, typed... Continue reading

True Leadership is Invisible
As many of you know, social media can lead to some great connections. I learned of Gerardo A. Dada via Twitter in 2012 and we have been following each other ever since.

Gerardo is the author of the blog www.theAdaptiveMarketer.com where he writes about leadership, marketing and business. Today he is offering his wisdom on my blog and I'm happy to introduce him. I was still working at Microsoft a couple... Continue reading

Part 2: Stronger Strategies for Brand-Building
In Part 1 of this blog (“Corporate Blind Spots”), I discussed the link between a company’s success and its reputation (perceptions held by customers, partners, vendors and even employees). Many organizations don’t have a clear picture of how they are perceived, and these blind spots are often holding them back. Uncovering that true reputation and working to improve it are the keys to accelerating corporate success. In this blog, I’ll provide some steps that companies can take to help eliminate those blind spots. According to a recent survey by global PR firm Weber Shandwick and KRC Research, 70% of consumers...

Driving Our Careers: Why we can’t wait for employers to take the wheel
As I travel across the country speaking to management groups and meeting with operations leaders, I am consistently seeing a common problem. While companies fully recognize that reaching their goals and being successful is dependent on quality leadership, the vast majority of them struggle to make that a priority. They simply don’t have the time, energy and budget required to grow and develop their leaders in a meaningful way. Many times these organizations make well-intentioned and valiant attempts to offer leadership development, but their efforts are often watered down to a non-customized “training in a box” with little or no...

Career Potential: Are You Getting a “Thumbs Up” or “Thumbs Down”?
When we are introduced to new co-workers, we typically don’t receive copies of their resumes along with the nice-to-meet-you handshakes. We might sit through an hour-long meeting with the new guy on the team and not have any idea about his experience, accomplishments or degrees. But chances are, at the end of that hour, we’ve already decided whether he will be great to work with – or not. Did he look bored and apathetic? Were his papers rumpled and disorganized? Did he avoid eye contact and refrain from contributing to the discussions? We mentally give this guy the “thumbs down”... Continue reading

Do You Have the Leadership "X Factor"?
Most of us have watched it happen in the workplace. There’s a go-to person in the organization who gets everything done. Never misses a deadline, never forgets a detail, but never gets promoted into a senior position. Meanwhile, others break through to the next level. Leaders listen to them; subordinates recognize their authority. What do those people have that the other highly competent manager lacks? Some professionals become known as implementers rather than leaders, and they get pigeonholed as what I refer to as a Perpetual Doer. Organizations can’t function without some Perpetual Doers who delight in making lists of... Continue reading
