Leadership Recognizes Strength
|
Hi Reader, My best teachers, my best professors, and some of my best mentors have been women. The best managers I have had throughout my career have been women. My most outstanding employees have been women. Some of my greatest advocates and supporters of what I create and promote have been women. The vast majority of my clients, referrals, and friends are fierce, independent, strong-willed women. The women I know succeed despite fewer resources, unequal footing, ridicule, and resistance. Given time, competence tends to win. It would be far more productive if insecure people stopped creating unnecessary hurdles and offering irrelevant criticism. Others' strengths do not threaten effective leadership. It recognizes it, works with it, and builds on it. When capable women succeed, the organization succeeds. When fragility blocks them, everyone pays the cost. Effective leaders support and encourage women rather than waste energy trying to tear them down. To do otherwise diminishes everyone. Be a partner and ally, not an adversary. Do what you can to make things better for everyone. Keep advancing in the direction of your dreams and help others along the way. -Karl Karl Bimshas Leadership Strategist | Author KARL BIMSHAS CONSULTING 1-858-583-2302 |

Team members are encouraged to make decisions, solve problems, and work independently. This sounds like healthy leadership. Yet over time, something subtle begins to happen. People make decisions based on their own interpretation of priorities. Projects begin moving in different directions. Standards become inconsistent. Meetings become...
Hi Reader, Leadership problems typically begin with small patterns that quietly weaken clarity, trust, and execution. I call this Leadership Drift. The challenge is that most organizations don't recognize these patterns until they've become costly. That's why I created the Leadership Drift Situation Board. It's a conversation tool that helps leadership teams recognize eight common patterns before they become larger problems. Print it. Use it during your next leadership meeting. See what...
