At its core, leadership is a way of being in the world that enables others to thrive.

Researchers studied the impact of meetings on our brains.
This is fascinating…

Depletes autonomy: "Hold my hand while we cross the street because I say so."
Supports autonomy: "Let's hold hands because drivers can't see you, but they can see me. I want you to be safe."
Give a choice when possible. When choice is not possible, give a good rationale.

"You can’t lead from your office/cubicle or via messaging or emailing or PowerPoint-ing or spreadsheet-ing. You lead by fully humanized interaction.” @tom_peters

Listening promotes intuitive thinking. Reading activates more analytical processing.
5 experiments: in English & Chinese, people showed better logical reasoning when trivia questions, riddles, and puzzles were written rather than spoken.
Reading is vital to critical thinking.
Read this. Read it more than once. Apply some of the learning.
It’s going to be on my syllabi from now on.
Not all #failures are created equal! So I wrote in @HarvardBiz in 2011. hbr.org/2011/04/strategies-f….
Glad people are seeing the nuances; see link below.
Okay, so it’s 10+ years later 🙂

Many current "change management" models were created in the 1970s & don't work anymore. We must: 1) Connect change to wanted change 2) Engage influencers, not just "leaders" 3) Give all a stake 4) Have a neutral facilitator 5) Be role models: weforum.org/agenda/2022/10/o… V @Pragmadik

Instead of asking "WHAT do you want to BE when you grow up?" ask children "What problems do you want to solve?"
We are not defined or made worthy by our jobs.
When we ask what problems children want to solve we encourage curiosity, creativity and contribution.

Oh, this is a good issue.
Re #andoncord: "After the cord is pulled...coworkers "swarm" over. One of the first things they do is thank the person who pulled the cord. This is crucial...because the interpersonal consequences of stopping the line & asking for help are significant."

Bad leaders see power as an opportunity. Good leaders see it as a responsibility.
Framing power as a responsibility can discourage leaders from being selfish, making risky decisions, and ignoring advice.
It's time to teach people that power is for service, not self-interest.

People are happier to help than we expect.
Data: we overestimate how inconvenienced they’ll feel—and underestimate how valued they’ll feel.
Asking isn't always a burden. It's often an opportunity to help others feel capable and useful.
Seeking help is an expression of trust.
