When conducting training for new leaders, one of the basic concepts we explore is how they obtain and use the different sources of power. There are five basic bases of power; positional (legitimate), reward, punishment (coercive), expert, and referent (respect). Additionally, there are two other forms of power, “connection” power and “information” power. Each of these forms of power can be used in a functional or dysfunctional way. What determines if it is functional or d

Transform Inspiration into Behavior!

Can your supervisors transform their leadership inspiration into behaviors? In my CMF Leadership Consulting’s Leadership Effectiveness seminars, I ask the age-old question: What’s the difference between managing and leading? I always get some close responses and then someone may quote General Schwarzkopf with, “You manage things, you lead people.” I usually also get the answer of, “Leadership is inspiring people to do what you want them to do,” or something similar.

Leaders, What Specialist Do You Call if Your Organization is Sick?

The doctor may conduct an examination and asks you questions about the “symptoms” you are experiencing. She/he may ask for tests or take samples to try to determine the underlying cause or illness. When your car’s “maintenance needed” light comes on and you don’t know what is wrong you take it to someone who knows how to fix it, right? The vehicle maintenance speciali

Don't Just Tell Them To Stop...

Scenario - You are observing a classroom of kindergarten students and see "Little Johnnie" coloring on the wall by the window.

Leadership is Learned: The Science and The Art

We are always asked the question: “Are leaders born or is leadership learned?” Well, let's address the obvious first, all leaders have to have been born at some point in order to be alive! So, now let's get into the not-so obvious!. Consider leaders like Abraham Lincoln, Mahatma Gandhi, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., George Washington, even Adolf Hitler, Genghis Khan, and many others, why were they able to influence others? Where did they get their knowledge, skills, and ab

How do you motivate when consequences aren't enough?

As leaders we are constantly looking for new and different ways to motivate people. Motivation through consequences, the "carrot and stick" has been proven to be only effective until there is more than just rudimentary cognitive skill involved, then they have an opposite effect.
