Can Leadership Be Learned or Are You Born with It?

Can Leadership Be Learned or Are You Born with It? | Consultancy Matters | Scoop.it
From www.psychologytoday.com - September 25, 2018 2:40 AM
Promotions to positions of leadership are a mixed blessing for those whose leadership skills are weak. But are leadership skills hereditary or can they be acquired?

Leadership skills can be improved if one is willing to be self-reflective and make efforts to do so.

Stress Is Making You Micromanage, Which Is Making Everything Worse 

Stress Is Making You Micromanage, Which Is Making Everything Worse  | Consultancy Matters | Scoop.it
From www.fastcompany.com - October 22, 2017 1:44 AM

Are you a micromanager? You will probably say no. Maybe you self-deprecatingly call yourself a “control freak.” Or just “hands-on.” You just “care too much.”

 

And it’s true: You do feel a certain need for a sense of control over your work. You are responsible, after all–perhaps more responsible than some of your coworkers or direct reports. You’re afraid of mistakes and believe that if something needs to be done well, you’d better do it yourself. But this isn’t just because you’re an “independent self-starter” who holds their work to a high standard. It might be that, too, but it’s probably also because you’re feeling stressed.

CCM Consultancy's insight:

Work-related stress is a likely culprit. When you feel overwhelmed, you worry that you don’t have a good handle on things–so what do you do? You tighten your grip on everything. The first step to loosening it up (and reducing your own stress in the process) is simply recognizing the impact that your micromanaging is having.

Ask yourself these four questions to break the vicious cycle.
Tom Wojick's curator insight, October 19, 2017 12:55 PM

 Micro-managing is a stress response. Understanding it from this perspective can create an opening to change. The stress response is activated by a perception that one's emotional, psychological and or physical safety is at risk. The three F's: fight, freeze and flee are the primary reactions - micro-managing fits into the fight reaction. A fear that one's professional status as a manager is at risk.

Being Vulnerable Is the Boldest Act of Business Leadership

Being Vulnerable Is the Boldest Act of Business Leadership | Consultancy Matters | Scoop.it
From www.entrepreneur.com - July 18, 2018 1:44 AM
Vulnerability fuels the strongest relationships and can transform employee performance.

Via Jay
CCM Consultancy's insight:

If vulnerabilities are left unchecked, energy is invested in ways to combat your perceived weaknesses. Your wounds get buried deeper. Blame, defensiveness or shame block you from taking appropriate risks, creativity is squashed, and innovation is eradicated.

Being Vulnerable has my seal of approval!! There is so much out there on how to be the perfect leader but I have to say being transparent, authentic and vulnerable definitely has my seal of approval. Employees want a sincere and open communicator that is also able to be vulnerable - it shows employees they're human and that people can relate to them. Go on let your vulnerability loose and unlock the key to Leadership Success.
