John is running a Coaching for Excellence Workshop: Ready to be a more effective coach? Register for the Workshop on December 16th at 12 PM EST. It’s a lot easier for people to perform without assistance than having to assist in their performance. While most professionals have a decent sense of what skills they’re good at and which ones need work, most...

    The following post is from Thursday August 19, 2021 by John Eades in his LearnLoft News letter. Courtesy of john Eades LearnLoft https://learnloft.com/2021/08/19/why-confidence-is-required-to-be-a-successful-leader/?utm_source=ActiveCampaign&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Why+Confidence+is+Required+to+Be+a+Successful+Leader&utm_campaign=Newsletter+8%2F19&vgo_ee=QJufdBmiqNvBm4JFqivkpSgFfsHX1KtEQ6so2w%2BCYb0%3D To be successful in almost anything requires confidence, leadership included.  Brand new research from Predictive Index’s 2021 People Management Report asked a series of questions around what makes a world-class manager. They found that the #1 skill employees value from their managers is confidence. Most people know confidence is essential, but it’s fascinating to learn how important it is in today’s...

    The following post is from John Eades' "Building The Best" from July 30, 2021: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/you-want-successful-leader-know-its-going-hard-john-eades/?trk=eml-email_series_follow_newsletter_01-hero-1-title_link&midToken=AQGgWYn8AI_qww&fromEmail=fromEmail&ut=00KsGSbl269FU1 Doing hard things isn't easy.   Most people avoid challenging things altogether. Others choose to start, but when they figure out the difficulty of what's ahead of them, they decide to take the path of least resistance.  Take Mike, a former front-line manager in a manufacturing facility as an example. After seven years of honing his skills as an engineer in the plant, he applied for an...

If you are like most people, you don’t often think about bad leaders unless you had or currently have one. However, studying or experiencing them can be a more effective teacher than learning from some great ones.   Take former Enron CEO Jeff Skilling as an example. His management and leadership style was built on the foundation of fear....

    The following post is from John Eades at LearnLoft from June 8, 2021. Skill development is a never-ending process. Not only do the great ones in any field recognize this, but they have a borderline obsession to develop and improve their skills daily. Merriam Webster defines a skill as “the ability to use one’s knowledge effectively and readily in execution or performance.” Skills are often divided into domain-general and domain-specific. For example, golf is a general skill; driving, putting,...

While these are all legitimate constraints, there is one challenge rising above the rest, acquiring talented professionals.   Don’t just take my word for it; the stats regarding acquiring talent in the...

This communication is crucial to the success of any team or organization; but, only if it is performed appropriately. Barking orders, giving directives, inserting negative comments, and providing unempathetic feedback are also communication methods, but they won’t give you the same success rate.   Anyone is susceptible...

No one is born a leader, but people do develop into one. While some of the most outstanding leaders of all time were born with some leadership DNA, they still had to work to develop their skills over their journey. This question of whether leaders are born or made has been debated for decades. Leadership...

Whatever the goal is, it matters because you have taken the time and energy to define your team’s new performance goals to achieve in 2021. Research suggests that goal-driven leaders outperform those that are not. So if you’re not a goal-setting kind of person, maybe it’s time to rethink your approach at the beginning of the year.   However, as a...
