Blanchard's Situational Leadership is a model I fi Blanchard's Situational Leadership is a model I find myself coming back to again and again. 

I was first introduced to this in the first leadership seminar I attended thanks to an awesome organization (Ryan Recruitment) that I had the privilege of working for early in my career. 

It made sense then. And it still holds now. 

People need different things from their leaders. Your Expert needs a whole lot less direction from you than your Newbie. 

It might go without saying, but its a really useful model to revisit from time to time and consider if you're striking the right balance with your people. 

To read more on my thoughts head to leadershiplately.com and look for the article: "The Right Leadership Style Depends on Who You're Leading".

The leaders people trust most in hard times aren't The leaders people trust most in hard times aren't the ones with the perfect framework. They're the ones who know what they stand for before the storm hits.

These are the leaders that people would say are authentic, honest, and transparent. 

They can be - because they know who they are and what they stand for, and what they can stand by. 

From my Leadership Lately article, "We're Desperate for Leaders with Character." Read more at leadershiplately.com

Every leader knows that there are moments when lea Every leader knows that there are moments when leadership is far from easy. 

Those are the moments when you really need to know yourself, be able to come back to your inner anchors, and stand by what you value. I call that character. 

Here are two questions to ask yourself when facing hard decisions: 

- Would I stand behind today's decision if it were in tomorrow's news? (inspired by @tricamasondege 

- What will let me sleep at night, even if making this decision is hard? What is the best thing to do here, considering the entire situation?

Character has been on my mind a lot lately. 

In a world of rapidly evolving technologies and the ongoing discussion about human-focused leadership as its counterpoint, I can’t help but ask: why aren’t we talking more about the need for moral character? 

My ongoing meditation on character coincided with my attending a half-day leadership event last week, where fellow executive coach @TriciaMasonDege made a comment that really struck at my core. 

Her leadership lesson was to know your values ahead of time, so that when something challenges them, you’ll know how you want to react."

What is the difference between Direct and Directiv What is the difference between Direct and Directive?

A really interesting thread popped up a few weeks back in one of my Leadership Circles. We were discussing how to build collaborative conversations, and that tilted toward: how can we know we're being clear and being understood, while still leaving space for agency in our team members? 

> Direct vs. Directive

When you're communicating directly, you're being clear on an outcome you need to get to. You're talking about a broader goal or objective. 

When you're being directive, you're more likely to fall into the trap of dictating how one gets there. 

If we're hoping to build teams that demonstrate initiative, ownership, and agency, then we want to lean more toward direct than directive. 

I also wrote about this over on Leadership Lately. If you want to dive in further, I confess my personal story about being on the receiving end of a very directive leader early in my career. 

Can you relate?!

Our power lies in our decisions to choose. When Our power lies in our decisions to choose. 

When we decide, and then follow that choice with ongoing commitment ... that is when our lives change. 

This is a quote I've been referencing for years. 

And as I grow in my experience and understanding, it lands more and more. 

Our freedom lies in our power to intentionally choose how we want to show up, and respond. 

We don't have to live our lives automatically responding and running through the motions.
