Leadership Social Media and Updates
"I never give a score of 5." This is what one of my managers told me once as we started our annual review. Not exactly the motivation that I was expecting, and the more she tried to justify it, the more I realized I did not want to work for her any longer. When I told her that her "speech" was demoralizing, she replied with a laugh, "Well, that's just how I am." Some of the best leaders I have ever worked for and with know how to motivate their people. They are aware that no matter what business they are in, it is a people business. They set clear expectations and do all they can to enable, equip, and empower their people to meet them, and when they do, they acknowledge and reward them. What kind of leader are you?

We sanitize success. In boardrooms and biographies, we polish the narrative until the ascent looks like a clean, linear climb. But the leaders who sustain performance rarely learned their deepest lessons in the sun. They learned them in the dark. Rock...

Stop waiting to be empowered. Start taking ownership. I hear this constantly: • "We're not empowered." • "Leadership won't let us make decisions." • "The org isn't set up for us to succeed." And from CEOs, the mirror image: • "They don't take ownership." •...

This has been going on since VDL was selected, maybe a good idea not to select someone with this type of ego.
We tend to mythologize breakthrough moments—the IPO, the product launch, the decisive pivot.

The market doesn’t reward...
