Anti-Hubris Pixie Dust
We have all run into a narcissist leader somewhere along the way. This “Bull in a china shop” leader goes around all day creating damage – often with no congnition of it. There are two issues here. If you are a leader, how can you tell the extent to which your hubris is taking you in a direction at cross purposes to your intent? If you work in an environment where there is one or more narcissistic leaders, how can you improve conditions for yourself and your co-workers? These questions are so common that most people deal with some form of the dilemma every single day at work, yet despite years of effort and suffering, no relief is in sight. I believe there is a shaping process that can actually serve as a tranquilizer in the melee, but the application must be done with great skill to be effective.

Culture and Motivation

Facing the Facts about Face in China
In China, the concept "face" influences all levels of society and business. It is similar to the western concept of pride yet different. As a westerner I feel pride once I accomplish something I've been working on, often whether others know of my accomplishment or not. Of course if others acknowledge my achievement, it serves to elevate my feeling of personal satisfaction. On the other hand, "face" is definitely a "public opinion" oriented concept, one that depends upon the respect and acknowledgement of another or others. So it's not so much "what I know about me" as much as it is "what others believe about me."
Leaders Lead, Executives Execute - Responsible Communications Is The Difference

Third Generation Leadership resolves problems
Respect is an interesting concept.

The answer lies in the difference between “conditional respect” and “unconditional respect”.

Challenge or Opportunity: How to Communicate for Optimum Outcomes
Constructive communication doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time. It also rubs off on the people around you. When you can see each obstacle as an opportunity and focus on identifying and delivering the best solution, you build a habit of win-win for everyone.
Whatever
Whatever, what kind of response is that? It’s OK if you are in agreement with someone’s decision as in whatever you like, but to use that word as an expression of indifference should be unacceptable.

You Don't Need An Expert
You don't need an employee engagement expert to confirm what you already know and Gallup polling substantiates: the majority of employees are disengaged at work. You don't need an employee survey to tell you why discretionary efforts are tamed, passions for work are fleeting, and ideas are tethered. And you don't need a consultant to explain why cynicism is up, enthusiasm is down, and trust is the new workplace currency.

Trust is a very interesting subject. It is central to good leadership and a critical component of any good culture. Yet, trust is an enigma. This article asks three probling questions about trust that will get you thinking.

Degrees of Trust
Trust is an interesting word. We tend to think of it as a singular concept, like how much do I trust my boss at the moment.

That complexity is one of the reasons why high trust is hard to find in many organizations.

Garnering respect in others
Sometimes it's not what you do, but how you do it which brings acknowledgement and success your way. Understanding the idea of respect can play a major role in your ability to obtain it. Take this article as a stimulus for thought on the matter.

It is not about how we measure up to the person next to us.
