Hi Ed.

He has an interesting perspective, which applies mostly at the C-suite level.

I would prefer to either revert to our earlier thoughts about leadership (I’ll paste these below) or something more broad-based that includes both managers and leaders:

  1. Today’s Expectations of Leaders and Managers
  2. Don’t BE a Leader: Focus on BECOMING a Leader (talking about leadership not as a destination, but as a journey of continuous learning).

Here’s what we exchanged ideas back in March, along the theme of Leadership Power:

Authoritarianism vs. Leadership

  • Which is more effective and why
  • Leadership Power: Where does it originate?
  • The key elements of leadership power:  trust, influence, authority
  • Why authoritarianism doesn’t work in today’s workplaces

Effectively Communicating Change

  • A better approach for introducing change
  • Influence, not authority, is foundational for implementing change
  • Understanding and leveraging the buy-in continuum

Making Feedback Effective

  • Why most feedback is ineffective
  • Why effective feedback requires a mindset change
  • How to improve the performance review process (Dr. Ken Lloyd is the subject matter expert)

Why Leaders and Managers are the Bottlenecks to Productivity

  • Where leaders and managers spend their time (meetings!)
  • Improving 1-on-1 meetings and discussions
  • Using delegation to improve productivity

I’m happy to go in whatever direction you want. Let me know.

Cheers,

Steven
