10 Powerful Ways to Give Thanks with Your Leadership
The benefits of being grateful — both personally and professionally — are numerous and well-documented. While we should flex our gratitude muscle throughout the year, it’s also important to take extra time during the holidays to pause, reflect, recharge, and re-commit to bringing gratitude to life in every area of our life. Giving thanks is about making people feel valued. And research shows the highest performing teams and organizations are comprised of people who feel valued. So, by giving thanks with our leadership, we can both feel more fulfilled as leaders and inspire better business results in the marketplace. https://conantleadership.com/10-powerful-ways-to-give-thanks-leadership/Leading Colleges and Universities in a New World eBook (PDF)
The folks at FranklinCovey know that the past few years have brought rapid changes to education throughout the world. Between moving to remote learning, onboarding new leaders in the wake of the Great Resignation, prioritizing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in new ways, moving to a digital-first mindset, and capitalizing on innovative opportunities in higher education, institutions aren’t the same as they were in 2019. As needs in higher education evolve, leaders also need to adjust their approach. Their new eBook explores four leadership areas that require a new approach to ensure institutions thrive in the new world of higher education: change management, building trust, transparent feedback, and driving consistent execution. https://mkto-ab100016.com/NTI0LUFVTy0zMTUAAAGFwBXMQLo2hoSocfkz-bIJRSdWzkdRHcsVIJGtLYV49R4NGKXhCoVaPlW-6svbgED3B732jbE= :: Resources on Self-Leadership DevelopmentQualities of a Good Leader
We’ve shared before the key concept underlying how to become a good leader. To no one’s surprise, it is the understanding “that when you become a leader, it is no longer about you. ” And the sooner you can remove yourself from being self-absorbed in the idea of having an elevated level of importance in your organization, the better (and quicker) your chances will be of becoming a good leader. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/the-cda-group-llc_ceos-leadership-leadershipqualities-activity-6958140270232100864-hCcU/“It’s not what you look at that matters; it’s what you see.” – Henry David Thoreau
Be a Great Leader Even If You’re Not In Charge
Every great leader understands the importance of having influence and making a difference.

- Quit being a professional critic
- Solve problems rather than self-promote
- Give credit to others
- Promote yourself
“Everyone has the power for greatness—not for fame but for greatness—because greatness is determined by service. – Dr. Martin, Luther King Jr.:: Resources on Psychological Safety
Why does psychological safety matter in a hybrid workplace?
- Today, hybrid working models are arguably more commonplace than not.
- In April 2021, research revealed that more than 60% of businesses were planning to adopt hybrid working models after pandemic restrictions were lifted.
- But to reap the real benefits of hybrid work, employees need to feel psychologically safe at work, now more than ever.
“Good management is largely a matter of love or, if you’re uncomfortable with that word, call it caring because proper management involves caring for people, not manipulating them.” – James Autry
