They\u2019re working fifty weeks a year, and they\u2019re working 16-hour days. The effect of this is that for many people, they\u2019ll reach fifty thousand hours (one half of a productive working career) in a mere 17 years, which means their hundred thousand hours is up in 34 years, not 45.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>Leadership can be developed, but it takes time. It\u2019s a marathon. Most of us are running this as fast as we possibly can. So, one of the things to keep in mind is that we have to slow down to learn the lessons of leadership.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>It takes time . . . Slow down to learn the lessons of leadership.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span><span><strong><span>The second proposition<\/span><\/strong> that I\u2019d put in front of you is that <strong>we want leadership, but we hinder it<\/strong>. We want it. Some of you have been well led in your life, and it felt good, even a little spooky, like that leader knew you better than you even knew yourself.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>Sometimes the culture of our organizations is such that you\u2019re not allowed to say certain things: \u201cIt\u2019s just not done here.\u201d But those are exactly the things that need to be said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>You\u2019ll find in many organizations people speak in acronyms, right? You can\u2019t even understand what they\u2019re saying because it\u2019s a whole series of abbreviations. So, that means they begin to think alike because, guess what? Language is mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>Have you ever seen the show \u201cThe Office\u201d? Now, it\u2019s a funny show because it\u2019s sad, right? It\u2019s disaffected. And yet we can\u2019t help watching it. And do you know why we can\u2019t help watching it? Because it reminds us of our own organizations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>We identify. We know people in our own firms, in our own jobs that are exactly the characters in that show.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>To me, this is reality TV. That\u2019s real life. It\u2019s train-wreck TV. We can\u2019t help but watch that. I always say, by the way, every office has a Michael Scott, and if you don\u2019t know who it is in your office, it\u2019s probably you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span><span><strong><span>Third one<\/span> (important)<\/strong> is that <strong>leaders are in the spotlight<\/strong>. You\u2019re being watched. You\u2019re being watched by the people that report to you and the people who you report to, all the time.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>They\u2019re taking their cues from you. If you walk in and you\u2019re nervous, they\u2019re going to feel nervous because they\u2019re going to think something\u2019s wrong. If you walk in and you\u2019re angry, they\u2019re going to feel it. Any emotion that you\u2019re expressing, they\u2019re going to feel; emotion is contagious.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>Why is because you\u2019re the most important part of their day. You\u2019re the one that\u2019s going to evaluate their performance, you\u2019re the one that gives them their assignments, and you\u2019re the one that provides feedback. So, it makes sense that you are in the spotlight, that they are paying attention to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>You&#8217;re the most important part of their day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>But it\u2019s also: This is an enormous burden. You have to constantly, as a leader, be thinking about what you\u2019re doing, what you\u2019re saying, and how you\u2019re saying it because people are watching you so carefully and so closely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>You have to constantly . . . be thinking about what you&#8217;re doing, what you&#8217;re saying, and how you&#8217;re saying it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/create.mheducation.com\/shop\/#\/catalog\/details\/?isbn=9781308637631\"><span><span><span>https:\/\/create.mheducation.com\/shop\/#\/catalog\/details\/?isbn=9781308637631<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Pick one of the propositions and relate a story or insight or observation that illustrates that proposition (250 words, apa plus references) \u00a0 The first proposition is that leadership can be developed, but it takes time it\u2019s good news that leadership can be developed for you because you can indeed become a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-109422","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-education"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/assignmenttutors.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109422","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/assignmenttutors.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/assignmenttutors.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/assignmenttutors.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/assignmenttutors.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=109422"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/assignmenttutors.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109422\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/assignmenttutors.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=109422"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/assignmenttutors.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=109422"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/assignmenttutors.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=109422"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
