I recently came across a website entitled “The Seditionist” containing the writings of Louis Beam. Wikipedia defines the term Sedition as “overt conduct, such as speech and organisation that is deemed by the legal authority to tend toward insurrection against the established order.” Beam describes that The Seditionist as follows: “a quarterly journal of Seditionist [...]

Are we over-leading and under-managing?
Several years ago the term “leadership” became fashionable. Leaders were seen as people that “Do the right thing.” Indeed, I have blogged many, many times on the need to act with integrity and transparency such that your followers trust you to do what’s right for them and the firm over your own personal interests. My [...]
How to act like a leader?
Often it is the little things that impact how others around you perceive your ability to lead. There are a few basic rules that, in my opinion, go a long way towards helping set the right perceptions: Be accountable – It is not always possible to get everything right every time. Playing the blame game [...]
How to identify growth oriented leaders
I recently read an interesting article by Les McKeown on MyVenturePad entitled The 3 inescapable characteristics of growth-oriented leaders. In the article Les states that he sees the top three growth indicators as: A respect for, and knowledge of what happened in the past, but with zero interest in blame. Highly developed pattern recognition skills. [...]

What does it take to be an outstanding leader?
I have written over a hundred articles for my blog. The majority of articles have been focused on leadership. You might, by now, have guessed that I am passionate about the quality of leaders today. I have read hundreds of articles, books and commentaries describing leadership and what it takes to be an outstanding leader [...]
What makes a leader stand out from the crowd?
Over the years I have met many, many people that are considered, or consider themselves, leaders. I have seen and heard may words used to describe these leaders including fearless, charismatic, focused, intuitive, thoughtful, assertive, aggressive, confident and eccentric. While I can honestly say that I have never seen any one person with all of [...]
Leadership: Instilling the confidence to believe?
Great leaders have the ability create a sense of self-belief in their followers. Teams that achieve the seemingly impossible, Lance Armstrong’s return from critical illness to win the Tour de France 7 times for example, all have one thing in common – an unerring sense of self-belief. Great leaders know and understand that this self-belief, [...]
On confidence, influence and charisma
I once believed that great leaders oozed charisma. I saw them as being extroverts with golden tongues that smoothly coerced those around them in to doing their bidding, following them, like the children of Hamlin blindly followed the Pied Piper.
