NOVEMBER 1, 2021
Leadership growth requires feedback and continual learning. It’s no exaggeration to say that if you’re done learning, you’re done leading. The world changes. People grow. And your influence will grow too if you invest in your leadership growth. But that growth is a choice – and one that not every leader will make. I recently spoke with a senior executive who surprised me with her vehemence.

It has forced decisions we never thought we would have to make, brought moments of both fear & relief and decidedly rearranged us as people. It has revealed our unheralded strengths — and chinks in the amour. Undoubtedly, we’ll come through to the other side as changed human beings.

I call Melissa to tell her my newest discovery. I gear up to lecture her about Tango and the Jews. “Do you know about them?” I ask. “I won’t be fun if you already know.” She says, “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”. It starts with the Spanish Inquisition. The Jews were traipsing around Europe looking for people who won’t kill them.

Want to empower your team? Find opportunities in the chaos. During times of uncertainty and change, it’s easy for your team to get lost in the chaotic swirl of indecision —to wring their hands and wait and see. It’s also the perfect time to empower your team, to step up and take the lead. “Where there is chaos, seize control.” One of my early bosses and mentors, Gail, said this to me almost daily during a turbulent time at Verizon.

The standard approach to problem-solving insists there is a cause and effect between problems and solutions.

It focuses on solutions, not problems, strengths, not weaknesses, and on what’s going well, rather than […].

In consulting, you use frameworks all the time. The reason they are used so widely is that they are a hyper-effective way of sharing information, especially when you are trying to share that information with an audience (typically, the client) that does not have deep familiarity with the data.

Everyone is watching how you respond when a high-performer quits. When a high-performer quits, it can feel like your world is imploding as you scramble to keep the work going AND find the right unicorn to fill that spot. Of course, there’s never a good time for a high-performer to quit. But, what you do next matters. For you. For them. And for everyone paying attention to your response (see also: How to Build a Great Culture in a High-Turnover World.).
