Here is a new 5 for Leadership for the middle of May. There are posts on new leadership lenses, the need for wise leaders, a great infographic on leadership etiquette around the world, essential feedback, and a list of great resources for spiritual leaders. Take a few minutes and expand your leadership horizons.
Business Etiquette Around The World This comes from the Linked2Leadership blog and I included it because I like infographics. It serves as a quick primer for those who lead in a global context. The graphic covers both greeting etiquette and proper conduct in meetings.
A Cry For Wise Leaders This comes from Cassandra Ferguson on the Lead Change Group blog. “A wise leader will come up with a strategy, know who to call for assistance, and speak in a way that will bring order.” This is a great post, taken from example of Baltimore, and applied to leadership broadly. Take a look.
A Stunning, New Leadership Lens “As a 21st century Extreme Leader and life-long learner, you are constantly looking for ways to improve yourself, not just for your own advancement, but also for the greater good. You know that you alone can’t make a difference of consequence; you can’t change the World (or world) by yourself–the performance of your team, your organization, and your community is essential to actualizing your own personal mission and achieving the specific outcomes you envision.” Steve Farber shares some great insights and invites you to a free webinar.
How To Get The Feedback You Need “You need feedback to learn and grow, and if you’re waiting for your annual review to find out how you’re performing, you’re not getting enough of it. But how do you get the focused input you need?” Carolyn O,Hara shares some very practical advice on this essential topic–from the HBR blog.
10 Books From 2014 That Every Preacher Should Read We all need good resources to grow as leaders and stay fresh. Al Mohler has provided a good list of reading resources for every spiritual leader.
There are the 5 for this week. Lead in such a way that all who come into your presence are enriched and made better.
