Values: The Importance of Walking the Talk
In the last few years most companies have recognized the importance of documenting their values. Some have gone to great lengths in detailing what would be ideal behavior but it is still the rare company who has leaders who actually walk the talk.

Problems of Growth
When an organisation needs more money, the issue is a little more complex than sometimes is realised. In this article, Douglas Long suggests some leadership questions to accompany the management task of keeping the business viable.
“Third Generation Leadership” – “3G Leadership” or “Leadership v3.0”
First Generation Leadership ("G1 Leadership" or "Leadership v1.0") was typified by a command and control approach in which hierarchy ruled and the leader was "right". Second Generation Leadership ("G2 Leadership" or "Leadership v2.0") was typified by a reward for conformance / non reward or punishment for non-conformance. Again, hierarchy ruled and the leader was largely "right". Third Generation Leadership ("G3 Leadership" or "Leadership v3.0") is typified by engaging followers both with what they are doing and with the people with whom they do it. In this article Doug Long introduces both the concepts of leadership generations and shows the distinctions between them.
Third Generation Leadership and Accountability
The bottom line in any organisation is performance. And performance demands accountability. The issue as we move from First Generation Leadership or Second Generation Leadership approaches to a Third Generation Leadership approach is not one of being accountable versus being unaccountable. This article looks at how it is possible to maintain personal accountability in a Third Generation Leadership organisation
How to be a Real Leader Bottom of Form
If leadership is so important, why are effective business leaders so rare? Kevin Cashman, a Minneapolis-based leadership coach, thinks that he has the answer: “Too many people separate the act of leadership from the leader. They see leadership as something that they do - rather than as an expression of who they are.”
Leadership with Mind Mapping
The business administration institutes do churn out MBA’s by the scores. You might be a competent manager, but leadership is a different issue from management.
Business Leadership Skills
Not that a business is born with leadership skills. It is true that certain leadership traits that quite a few others seem to them. However, there are others that can be developed. There are many leadership programs that teach us different leadership style will also help us realize our business leadership skills and have some improving. However, short of the best leadership training effort comes from rising above the rest and put personal gain before the collective interests.
Is "leadership" dead?
"Leadership" now seems to be a catch-all term (a bit like "communication"). That being the case, has the time now come when we should be considering whether the term "leadership" has lost its impact and whether we need to radically rethink the whole concept by moving out of all the traditional concepts like "servant leadership", "situational leadership", “contingency leadership”, “leadership habits” etc that are based on attitudes and behaviours?
Mastering Change Through Continuous Growth, Learning, and Improvement
To master or thrive on change, we need to embrace perpetual growth and development, continuous learning, and constant improvement. That's the stuff true change leadership is made of. The surface issue is our rate and type of change. The deeper issue is whether we are learning and improving so that change is another step forward in our progress to a brighter future. Are we steadily striving to build a better self, team, organization, and world? I've seen very few effective, and especially lasting, "change programs." But I have seen, and personally experienced, the power and payoffs of constant and habitual personal, team, and organization learning and improvement.
