I often have the privilege of working with groups of emerging leaders in high potential leadership development programs. As a leadership coach, there’s nothing more satisfying than watching a room of talented (but still evolving) managers grasp the complexities of effectively leading other people. In just about every program, a critical realization begins to take root – one that becomes a hot topic of conversation. The more these managers learn about leadership, the more they come to grips with the inherent tension of balancing two important leadership tasks – on the one hand, treating employees with a caring, nurturing, and development-oriented approach and, on the other hand, holding them to high standards for performance. Welcome to the leadership game, folks.

Too often people find themselves leading others without the right experience or training. And too often people assume they and others can and will figure it out as they go. While they are 'figuring it out', if they actually do, a lot of damage can be done to their people and the business’ results.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed as a manager? Being overburdened by the responsibility of having to figure out what others want and need of you is a familiar feeling shared among leaders. Fortunately, there is a “best practice” for obtaining just the kind of information needed to increase your leadership effectiveness—ask them what they want.

Giving scholarship money is a truly valuable donation. But, it’s not enough. Advancing women in business with money alone doesn’t seem to be achieving our goals to generate leaders in business. Women are still seriously misrepresented in the C-Suite and the boardroom where our incremental increase in women in leadership positions is, to put it bluntly, pathetic.

The way to get an executive into serious trouble is to always implement whatever the executive asks, regardless of its correctness for a situation. While most of the time compliance is expected and functional, sometimes it is not. Sometimes it is dangerous.

How can you spur innovation? Recently, I attended an internal workshop on strategy and growth, and my workgroup was asked to tackle this very question. We quickly came to the conclusion that innovation and learning are closely aligned; that is, creating the condition for innovation requires creating a "learning culture," or a culture in which new ideas and fresh thinking are welcome.
