For my next series of articles, I am going to change my focus. I plan to spend time on several different aspects of leadership including:
- Behavioral underpinnings of leadership
- Developing as a leader
- Teams—forming and developing them.
- Decisions—beyond the basics
- Solving problems
- People decisions
- Strategy
My goal is to create short, 3–5-minute reads, but impactful articles. They will tend to be narrower in scope than what I’ve normally done. There will be a thread followed within each section listed above from beginning to end. The goal is to create a working level of understanding of the subject matter.
The first section listed above will cover important aspects of the behavioral side of leadership. Right now, these topics are covered:
- Understanding and improving your leadership
- Four core leadership behaviors
- Self-awareness
- Hire smarter.
- Where does your behavior come from?
- How paradoxes affect your behavior
- A process for changing problem behavior.
- Dealing with change
- Dual awareness—being aware on two levels.
- Leading in the moment—responding to crises with appropriate actions and decisions.
I hope you’ll join us. It will be a quick way to learn something useful.
