Organizational climate, team weather
Kevin Eikenberry
Meteorologically, the difference between climate and weather is a measure of time. Climate is how the atmosphere acts over a relatively long period of time. Weather is the atmospheric conditions over a much shorter time period. There is an organizational correlation to the climate and weather relationship. As a leader we need to recognize our role in both the organizational climate and the team's daily weather.

Forbes
John Lowe writes: Of all the managers you have worked for over your career, how many would you honestly qualify as a leader versus a manager? In my 40 years of professional selling, I estimate that I worked directly for about 20 managers, and indirectly for many more. Of all those people, I can count on one hand the number I consider to be true leaders. The rest managed the business.

Why saying 'I don't know' makes you a great leader
Lifehacker

It gets complex, even confusing.

Forbes
From department heads to frontline managers, team leaders are in the trenches with employees who are weary after over a year and a half of weathering change and disruption.

Michael Hyatt

Maybe things become busy at work, or the weather isn't cooperating, or your kids aren't sleeping, which means you're not sleeping. Whatever the reason, there is a common denominator to our failed efforts: We rely mostly on willpower.

Putting common career advice to the test
Harvard Business Review
A great deal of career advice, while given with the best of intentions, is often not based on verified evidence and is anecdotal, hackneyed, contradictory or outdated. We now have more clear evidence of what constitutes good advice in terms of which mindsets to hold while navigating one's career. According to the evidence, some is powerful and effective, some is at best unhelpful, whereas some is downright bad.
