By WENDY BORN We all know when we see great leadership.  We identify it, point it out and it imprints on our minds forever. Yet according to research completed by Grenny and Maxfield for their book Crucial Conversations, they found that when we are in a situation that requires us to show leadership, for example calling out poor behaviour, having a difficult conversation or holding people accountable, 72% of us will fail to do anything.   Leadership is a skill usually learned with time and experience and without this experience, we can feel ill-equipped to lead.  Yet we alre ..read more

The Pursuit of Happiness

By TM NAGARAJAN Our culture is obsessed with happiness, but what if there is a more fulfilling path?  The “oh crap” moment When I turned 50, looking out of my corner office window, I asked myself … why did I feel so miserable? I thought making it as the CEO of a corporate organisation was the ultimate dream in life and would provide all the happiness I sought. I used to think the whole purpose of life was pursuing happiness. Everyone said success was the path to happiness.  But instead of ever feeling fulfilled, I felt only anxious and adrift. And I wasn’t alone; my friends in corp ..read more

In this reflection piece, I ask the same question from two years ago, and I add eight additional leadership lessons to the previous five. This will make my gift a ‘baker’s dozen’.

Why Leaders Must Transform From Being an Expert to an Experimenter

By PENNY LOCASO For 16 years I had been paid in my career to have the answers to be an ‘expert’. I was a professional on the rise, and it was my job to have the answers. I, then at the age of 40, became an entrepreneur and realised this was exactly what was holding me back. Why? Because when we assume the position of the ‘expert’, it can change how we look at a problem; it limits our ability to be open to challenging our belief system (which is often formed off a sample size of one), to unlearning. We assume that what we’ve done before will work when applied to new problems, but how can you kn ..read more

By MANFRED F. R. KETS DE VRIES Virtual team coaching can help turn around dysfunctional teams. Effective organisations rely on teamwork, not least because it facilitates problem-solving. Many leaders, however, are ambivalent about teams. They fear overt and covert conflict, uneven participation, tunnel vision, lack of accountability and indifference to the interests of the organisation as a whole. Also, more than a few have no idea how to put together well functioning teams. Their fear of delegating – losing control – reinforces the stereotype of the heroic leader who handles it all. Although ..read more

By ROSHAN THIRAN Scotland’s first home-grown billionaire, Sir Tom Hunter, has long been an advocate of ‘attitude over aptitude’, believing that an everyday desire to solve problems and take on challenges is what leads people to success. After graduating from the University of Strathclyde (Glasgow), Sir Tom was unable to find a job, later describing himself as ‘unemployable’. After working for a time with his father, who ran a grocer’s shop, he began to sell running shoes from the back of a van and was able to expand his business thanks to an equivalent RM25,000 loan from his father and a ..read more
