Submitted by Jennifer Selby Long on January 9, 2012Resolutions are great, but only if we act on them. By this stage in your career, resolutions are at least 50% head game, if not 80% or more. Let’s borrow our tools, then, from the ultimate head game: The Olympics.
Submitted by Jennifer Selby Long on December 2, 2011In looking back at the early issues of Traveling Light, the biggest change I see is that I’ve shifted to writing many more articles that share very little strategy and instead deliver those down-in-the-weeds, here’s-the-technique, start-with-this-script, say-this-not-that tools and advice.
Submitted by Jennifer Selby Long on November 7, 2011If you’ve worked closely with me, you have probably noticed that I see what’s going on inside of people, often before they see it themselves. I pick up the zeitgeist of the moment, and the next wave coming. Whether it’s nature or nurture that gave me this gift is too complex a question for a mere ezine, and probably not of much interest to you.
Submitted by Jennifer Selby Long on October 11, 2011The tough economy has employees stressed in nearly every organization of every size, in every industry -- particularly those who have seen their coworkers laid off.
Submitted by Jennifer Selby Long on September 6, 2011Have you ever tried to lead a major organizational change that failed? I did years ago, and it hurt! I still remember the sting and the embarrassment of having to retract all of my bold statements and retreat from my position.
Submitted by Jennifer Selby Long on July 13, 2011Charlie’s become a problem. So we thought you could coach him. We told him already, so you can get started right away.
Submitted by Jennifer Selby Long on June 6, 2011I stared in dismay at the overwhelming evidence in the 360-degree feedback report I had just written. There was no way around it: this leader was the worst-performing leader I had ever been asked to coach.
Submitted by Jennifer Selby Long on May 10, 2011While there are many challenges involved in making a decision, one that is often overlooked is naturally occurring bias, which is built into our DNA. There is no such thing as a 100% objective leader or leadership team.
Submitted by Jennifer Selby Long on April 12, 2011The first step in becoming an outstanding leadership team is to get a clear picture in your minds of what your team “looks like” if you are truly outstanding. What should you consider? What is likely to trip you up? What could you plan and do right now to ensure your success?
