Here is a new 5. There are posts on leadership lessons, leadership initiative, young leaders, race, leading staff you don’t like. There is something here for you–take a look.
6 Ways To Lead Staff You Don’t Like “Some of you will be deeply offended and leave this post right after the next sentence. While you should love everyone on your staff, it’s ok if you like some people more. In fact, its important for you to realize that you are eventually going to end up with someone on your team that you don’t really like.” This is a guest post on Brad Lomenick’s blog written by Todd Adkins. This is practical and real.
Why Wait For Permission? Just Go! “Are you waiting for someone to give you permission to lead, grow, or move in your organization? What if you already have all the permission you need?” Michael Hyatt shares some freeing insights about being who you are and leading where you are.
On Race, The Benefit of the Doubt, and Complicity I don’t agree with Rachel Held Evans on everything, and she would not agree with me, but this is a well written piece on racism that needs to be read. The tragedy in Ferguson, Missouri has brought this evil back into our view. Rachel has some very good practical steps that all of us who are a part of the majority culture need to heed.
8 Reasons Young Leadership Is Essential To Your Organization “If you listen to many leaders over 40, the complaints come quickly: They don’t work hard enough. They seem to want it all, now. They have a hard time distinguishing between work and play. They have an entitlement attitude. What on earth happened to grammar, spelling and etiquette?” Carey Nieuwhof provides some compelling reasons to lean into young.
My Leadership Lessons As Executive Director “This is the second time I have done this with an organization – served as the Executive Director during the startup phase. I’ve learned many lessons along the way, but these rise to the top as most important.” This is a great read from Jesse Lyn Stoner.
There are the 5 for this week-enjoy!
