For reasons that aren’t clear to me, we tend to overcomplicate the notion of leadership—what it is, why it matters, and how it manifests itself. I’m not saying it’s a simple concept to master—quite the contrary. We see evidence around us daily: in business, politics, sports and other endeavors. It’s not easy to find effective leaders who build an enduring record of success.

Panning for gold works like this. First, you put a double handful of sand in a heavy gauge steel shallow pan and dip it in the water, filling it half full. You gently more the pan back and forth and let small amounts of yellow sand wash over the side.

Early one Sunday morning I was at the beach to catch the sunrise. While strolling on the boardwalk I noticed a couple of broken beer bottles. I noticed how people reacted to the broken glass on the boardwalk. There were two distinct groups: 1) the work crew, which was setting up the chairs and umbrellas for the day, and 2) the people visiting the beach.

By the time Laura’s underperformance was discovered, it was too late. Clients at a Princeton-based consulting firm had first began to mumble to themselves and then to Laura, but when Laura continued to miss important client meetings and not show up prepared and on point for several engagements, clients took their unhappiness to the practice leader. When questioned by him, Laura explained that she had been dogged by recent bad luck: a divorce, medical issues, and aging parents. “I was boxed in by circumstance,” was her justification.

From each experience in life, we can learn lessons and develop our leadership skills. For example, my education and experience in practicing psychotherapy, developing assessments and leading teams have taught me that people are most effective when they’re engaged in the process and feel that they own part of the result. They appreciate sharing in the satisfaction of participating in the success of an activity, perhaps experiencing a well-designed, new product hitting the marketplace.
