'Confident, humble leaders take a moment to privately “applaud themselves.” There’s absolutely nothing wrong with a mini-time out to tell yourself “Wow! Great job.” Particularly for the incremental baby steps that change the game. Privately applauding yourself is vital if others aren’t looking or caring about your greater mission.

'Kate and I are getting acclimated to each other. I am used to how when I was coaching Kate she thought everything I said was genius. But now that she lives with me she would like me to not be so bossy. Kate discovers that the best time to talk with me is late at night when the boys are asleep and I’m too tired to work—that’s when I’m the least stressed out.

'It didn’t go well for Jennifer the last the time, and now her confidence was shaken.

'Conventional managerial wisdom says, “It doesn’t matter if they like you, as long as they respect you.” I can also hear the echo of countless bosses and mentors over the years, “You’re not here to be liked.” “If you worry about whether they like you, they won’t respect you.” I get the sentiment and, as with anything else, it’s a matter of degree.

'Frank is bright, confident, with an MBA from a top 25 and a long-track record of success. He moved up quickly and has a wall full of awards. He’s checked all the boxes: special assignments, line and staff jobs, late nights; but the last three promotions have gone to someone else. When he asks why, he’s told to “Be patient,” and that “Your time will come.” Hardly actionable feedback.

'True gratitude begins wtih deep humility. True gratitude changes us. True gratitude transforms our relationships. True gratitude changes the game. Courtesies Aren’t Gratitude. And yet, as leaders, we spend much time on “Thanks for passing the gravy” kind of thanks. …thanks for this report. …thanks for the update. …thanks for coming to work on time. …thanks for returning my call. …thanks for dinner.

'Great leaders have great expectations. They expect excellence and hold people accountable. Great expectations are vital, but slippery. Unarticulated expectations frustrate… you…your boss, your team, your children, your lover. “But I assumed you would.” “Why should I have to spell that out?” Unarticulated expectations are a sign of ineffective leadership.

'Whether your team is just starting up, or has the battle scars of a team fighting for results, they need to find a way to talk about the behaviors getting in their way. Great leaders look for ways to make this conversation easier. Dysfunctional behavior can be hard to talk about because it feels so personal. Many times people wait to have important difficult conversations until the issue has escalated.
