Interpersonal leadership is about inspiring and enabling others to do their absolute best together to realize a meaningful and rewarding shared purpose. While the most effective strategic leaders think outside-in, the best interpersonal leaders take an inside-out approach to people: they enable others by giving them a structure or framework to guide their own thinking and action; they give or get them leverage to accelerate progress; and they give them confidence in their own motivation and strengths to fuel the spark of inspiration that's already inside of them.

It's all around us — the idea that we are a divided country. Articles and books offer solutions for what we, as a country, need to do to close racial, gender and any other divisions based on demographics. However, all those solutions go nowhere if we're not looking at ourselves and taking responsibility for our actions. Whether we want to hire the best people or close demographic divisions, we need to stop practicing lazy thinking that leads to stereotyping, labeling people with generalizations, and missing people with whom we can connect in our workplaces and in our communities.

Organizations worldwide spend roughly $356 billion on leadership development efforts. Yet, the BrandonHall Group, a human capital research and analyst firm that surveyed 329 organizations in 2013, found that 75% of the organizations rated their leadership development programs as not very effective. Why aren't companies getting more bang for their leadership development buck? Our latest research suggests it’s likely because most leadership development efforts overlook a specific attribute that is foundational to how leaders think, learn and behave: their mindsets.

Pollsters say reading is in decline. As an author and former publishing executive, the statistics make me wince, but I'm optimistic for another reason.
