Do you have a daily learning objective?
Business 2 Community
Dave Brock writes: I was participating in a webcast recently. One of the speakers pose an intriguing and important question, "Do you have a daily learning objective?" The response from the audience was predictable, a minority of the participants had a formal objective. Some had good intentions, but the majority had no formal plan.

A little sacrifice leads to big payoffs
By Chris Cicchinelli
 When you were in school or first starting out, you probably had a job that required you to work weekends or holidays. There's nothing more frustrating than having to go into work on a Saturday afternoon when you knew your friends were going out Saturday night — and you'd see their pictures on social media. However, you went to work anyway. You had college to pay for, or an apartment to rent, or you were saving for a reliable car. You made sacrifices to get to your goal. You gave up something to succeed. Let me be the first to tell you: you made the right choice.

7 leadership lessons that will change your career forever
BBN Times
One of the most impressive things about all great leaders is their relentless pursuit of wisdom.
They do this through a learning cycle of knowledge, comprehension and application that goes on their entire lives.
What's fascinating about leadership is many timeless principles remain the same, while at the same time, leaders need to change to remain successful in modern times. This is precisely why great leaders are grounded in principles but always keep an open mind and a learning mindset.

The craft of managing and leading
Forbes
Bartleby, the workplace columnist for The Economist, wrote recently about the nature of craftsmanship at work. He quotes an academic paper whose authors "define craft as 'a humanist approach to work that prioritizes human engagement over machine control.'" Bartley writes, "Crafts require distinct skills, an all-round approach to work that involves the whole product, rather than individual parts, and an attitude that necessitates devotion to the job and a focus on the communal interest. The concept of craft emphasizes the human touch and individual judgment."

Balancing compassion and performance in a pandemic world
By Courtney Lynch
 When I served in the Marines, we had a saying: mission first, people always. Everything about leading Marines came down to achieving results in times of challenge, chaos and uncertainty while taking care of your people. Now, as an executive coach, as I've helped my clients navigate pandemic times, often I've been guiding them in demonstrating service-based leadership. Leading with service is about acting selflessly on behalf of others to ensure their success.

Why you should lead your employees towards self-direction, not empowerment
By Hank Boyer
 Remember when the latest buzzword was empowerment? The premise was that employees who were empowered would be more committed to successful outcomes because they had the ability to make decisions, commit resources, own the decision, etc. What's wrong with empowerment? Plenty! What if you empower someone who is not capable of handling the responsibility?

The real value of middle managers
Harvard Business Review
Middle managers have long had reputations as ineffective or weak supervisors, but research shows that, in fact, they're often the people that make an organization run smoothly between hierarchies. Especially today, as companies become more reliant on virtual modes of management and communication, investing in these managers as "connecting leaders" is vital.

1 simple way to motivate your team
Michael Hyatt
Many leaders are good at the business side of things. They're able to hit their goals, and they might even be decent at profit. However, unfortunately, many leaders don't prioritize their people. When this is the case, morale tends to be low, turnover is high and the business suffers. The cost is too great.

Workers could face new burnout symptoms when returning to the office — here's how employers can help
CNBC
A year after many companies announced their summer 2021 building reopening dates, organizations across the country are now bringing their employees back to the office — with mixed results. Some employees have enjoyed the flexibility of working from home, so much that one survey of 1,000 U.S. adults found 39% would consider quitting if their employers weren’t flexible about remote work moving forward, according to a poll by Morning Consult on behalf of Bloomberg News conducted in May.

A year of remote work: Leadership lessons for the shift to hybrid
Forbes
Good leadership has always been a moving target. Whether in business, athletics or politics, leaders must constantly respond to the changing conditions around them with attentiveness and purpose. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, colossal changes were flying at leaders from all angles, impacting them just as acutely as those they lead. Naturally, they responded by implementing a patchwork of reactive remote working strategies to ensure business continuity and minimize disturbances.

Are employees obligated to speak up when they're unhappy?

Whenever anyone has left my company, my boss and the director always moan about how the person who left didn't first come to them with their complaints.

How to achieve dynamic leadership in 'the new next'
Forbes
Lately, a lot of discussions around leadership have turned toward dynamic leadership. The word dynamic refers to a process or a system that's characterized by constant change, activity, or progress. The opposite of dynamic is static. It's important for leaders to demonstrate dynamism in their leadership capability. However, before we can talk about or enact dynamic leadership, we need to slow down to speed up. We need to be able to pause, take a breath and focus on increasing our self-awareness.

Promoted by School of EMS
Online education is not new, but it has been slow to be embraced by vocational schools, especially for the Fire and EMS industry. Students enroll in online school for the increased flexibility and cost savings offered by doing coursework at home - or at the station!
So how can such a hands-on discipline successfully be taught with the instructor and student in different cities?
Short answer: Not easily, and not just anyone can do it. It takes a dedicated, specialized school to efficiently educate paramedics in an online hybrid model without sacrificing quality.

Creating your blindspot warning system
Kevin Eikenberry
As a driver, you know you have blindspots. There are things you simply can't see as you drive. However, knowing these exist — while important — isn't the same as being warned when a problem is imminent. The advent of systems on cars to remind us, warn us and keep us from ignoring our blindspots are amazing tools for safer driving. What if we had a blindspot warning system as a leader?

Why you need white space
Michael Hyatt
Many of us struggle to disconnect from our work. Even if we manage it, it's uncomfortable. Because of our always-on culture, we may even feel guilty putting a hard stop on our work day and letting emails go unanswered until the following day. As much as we try, hitting the pause button is hard.

Condoning uncomfortable interactions isn't good leadership
Fast Company
Kate Eberle Walker writes: On my first day as a CEO, I had a surreal moment. I was in a meeting, convened to discuss ideas for a new product launch. I was the new CEO, but I was not new to the company; until one day prior, I had been the CFO. I had earned my promotions, all the way to the C-suite, by learning to have bold opinions and to state my ideas loudly. If I didn't advocate for my ideas, chances were no one would ask my thoughts or listen to them.
