Our new newsletter - The DNA of
Leadership is delivered once a month. Each month,
we bring you new ideas to think about, new practices
to experiment with, and new thoughts to inspire your
leadership journey.
What is The DNA of Leadership? Leadership
is encoded in our DNA and is often undercut by erroneous
and conflicting beliefs about authority, leadership,
dominance, power, and winning. We too often accept many
of our beliefs about these important concepts as "conventional
wisdom" without questioning them. The problem is, these
beliefs are not necessarily true-and, worse, they may
be corrosive to healthy individuals and to healthy enterprises.
Our newsletter helps you abandon these
outdated beliefs in order to take the first step in
releasing your leadership instincts and capabilities.

DNA
of Leadership - Move Beyond Fear to be Connected
Even though technologies
enable us to dissolve boundaries of space and time and
connect us in exciting ways, we still face the same
old challenge: to dissolve boundaries among colleagues,
to build trust, and to engage our people.
We-centric leaders lift
people out of fear, frustration, and anger, which cause
people to disengage from each other. They create a culture
than enables colleagues to be connected, involved in
living the values and vision.
When people feel disconnected,
they become reactive, project their anxiety onto others,
create more fear, blame others for what is missing in
their lives, reject first to avoid being rejected and
disengage. When colleagues work in concert, they learn
from each other, develop higher-level skills and wisdom,
meet performance goals, and turn breakdowns into breakthroughs.
When leaders turn to others for suggestions and value
them, they create a community that looks forward to
coming to work.
Learn
to manage three dynamics:
-
First, put your ego behind
you - what matters is what "we can do together"
not what "I" can do.
-
Second, learn to manage your
own reactions - bullying, intimidating and micro
managing don't get results; inspire others to higher
performance.
- Third, let go of the past;
focus on the challenges facing you and build healthy,
mutually beneficial relationships.
Mastering these three
dynamics changes everything. Your ability to lead will
increase exponentially, and you will enhance your ability
to create inspiring environments where people work together
for mutual gain, growth and understanding. Rather than
get tangled up in conversations about blame, fear and
frustrations about what is not happening at work, you
establish a positive context for transformation by engaging
people in ongoing conversations about what has, can
and will work to create a transformation. In doing so,
you focus on what needs to happen to address the challenges
and with that focus and commitment, you develop into
the best company possible. Rather than trying to
fix the past, you create the future with others.
