Tuesday, I talked about my client who admitted to being an avoider. He was able to sense a connection with his trusted employee Darrell leaking information and the fact that this man was in a distraught state in his personal life.
 So, my client decided to take Darrell for a coffee break and just find out what was going on. He was still upset that Darrell was mouthing off about a new product before it was time to let the proverbial cat out of the bag.

 Hope all of you dads had a play day yesterday; and, even more importantly, that you were recognized and appreciated.
If you are an older dad, did you live in the “no guilt” zone? Or were there memories of missed little league games, missed school plays, missed opportunities to talk, really talk with the kids?

In “Don’t Bring It to Work” I discuss the 13 behavior patterns that follow us from our original organization, the family into our work organization.
The BIG, I mean BIG question is “Why do we keep doing the same things over and over and over and over and over“?

I just saw a news bulletin that BP apologized for its mess. Certainly took long enough. Yet, there are so many who need to apologize, including Halliburton and other subcontractors.
 In any case, apologies do help when they are made with the intention of setting things right. We will see how big oil does in the days to come.

 I just finished leading a tele-seminar with CTO’s from companies throughout the country.
The theme was about how to be the best, most self aware leaders so they could handle the people part of their job with ease and dignity.

 What happens when you can’t think of anything new and innovative? What if your job depends on your creative energy? How do you shake yourself into the “never thought of it before” state?
You can hire someone. That’s always an option.

Leadership in the 21st century is truly a team activity. It really does take a group of committed people to make positive change happen. So team collaboration is the best way forward.
On the other hand, each individual contributor must be seen in his or her own right as the one and only one who makes the whole team fly or fail.

I was taking some quiet time of reflection, great with a three day week-end. It is hard to believe Herb and I started CEOinc twenty five years ago. Neither of us feels like we have aged too much although I recently saw a video where I was talking about some of the stories of triumphant transformation of clients and all I could see was my neck needed a nip and a tuck.
I digress.

 Think about a moment when someone is judging a situation that seems untenable and you think “What did I do to make this so awful?”
Happens to the best of us; happens to all of us. What is the best way to handle the emotions that bubble up? Many become “the stuffers” and let the unpleasant feelings gurgle and gnaw at the solar plexus right above the stomach. That is why anti-acids are such great over the counter sellers.

 I found this very good article on Huffington Post about Leadership and Parenting. Please read and note my comments; I’d love to hear your thoughts.
As some of my friends and colleagues know, I’m a bit obsessed with an assessment tool I use in my consulting practice called the Hogan assessment. Shining light on our “shadow side,” the Hogan instruments help people become aware of their derailers– a strength gone awry. For example, a positive trait like diligence might show up as critical, rigid, or perfectionistic. Enthusiasm taken to the extreme can turn into volatility, moodiness, and irritability.
