Leadership is like engineering: You need to start with why
Entrepreneur
In times of uncertainty, it is crucial for leaders to rally around the why behind their mission. There is a tendency to overlook the why when decisive action is needed, but it is essential to steering the course of the business. The why illuminates what needs to be done and how it can be accomplished. The why gives the whole team a sense of purpose.

How to improve communication among conflict-avoidant teams
Forbes
You may bristle at the word conflict, but in fact, a certain amount of conflict is healthy. Teams that avoid hard conversations miss opportunities to hear differing opinions and can experience a false sense of harmony since people aren't comfortable expressing disagreement. People may nod along in silence while expressing discontent behind closed doors.

What 'business ghosting' says about your leadership, and why real leaders don't ghost
By Simma Lieberman
 Working alone at home and no longer able to travel or socialize in groups has resulted in more people feeling alienated, isolated, and disconnected. However, life must go on, work must continue, and people must get up every day and take care of their lives. While there are people who relish their solitary time and welcome the lack of interaction, this is hard for most people, including me.

Michael Hyatt
Over the ,one thing has become evident to me. The most successful people I know don't end up there by mistake.

Is the quality of your hires the most important test of good leadership?
Fast Company
Todd McKinnon writes: At least 90% of my evaluation of any leader is the quality of people they get to work for them, and teamwork and judgment comprise the other 10%. I recently tweeted about this calculation and followed up by sharing how I assess newly hired leaders on the caliber of people who follow them. That evaluation sparked debate and enlightening points about what else to consider.

Balancing the yin and yang of leadership
Forbes
Some of the best leaders have a notable leadership strength — their calling card as a leader. We all know executives who have certain stylistic traits that give them the ability to be effective in many situations. For example, some are great storytellers, some are great at asking questions, some are great one-on-one, some are great connectors, bringing together the right people and teeing up the right conversations, and so on.

Advisory Board
Nearly all leaders have, at some point, had to manage "someone who thinks their performance is terrific when it's actually just adequate, or worse," Liz Kislik, a consultant and former professor at New York University and Hofstra University, writes for Harvard Business Review. While the cause of "the mismatch between these employees' real output and their perceptions of success" is often unclear, it's critical that leaders take action, Kislik writes.

A strategic plan dilemma: Organizational infrastructure
By Robert C. Harris
 A strategic plan guides the board, communicates value to members and empowers the staff. Most have 3 to 6 goals. The dilemma is whether to include anything about the infrastructure in the plan. Infrastructure is internal, focused on governance and management. It would include technology investment, the leadership pipeline, professional staffing and financial resources. Without infrastructure, the other goals cannot be advanced.
