Jann's Blog: What I Will Remember

Welcome

Learning is a never-ending journey. I've learned much from my mentors, from the wise sages in my life. I feel it is important to share and pass along some of what I have learned – and continue to learn. I believe we are all responsible for smoothing the path for those who come after us. And I know that we are all connected and here to support one another.

My purpose is to:

Improve organizational effectiveness through individual development

What I Will Remember

Leadership may be common sense, but it is not common practice. Why are there so many bad leaders in times when we need good leaders the most?

Effective leadership is not about being nice. It is about being fair, honest, acting out of compassion and empathy and not fear. I want to remember this during thes uncertain times. Pay attention to the people around you because leadership is ultimately about relationships.

One book I highly recommend that emphasizes these points is Resonant Leadership by Boyatzis and McKee.
