Michael Hyatt

Why leaders should stop micromanaging and deliver real value
Forbes
Micromanaging is often a symptom of a serious underlying problem — that the person doesn't understand how leaders deliver value.
You can think of most organizational roles in three general buckets: individual contributors, mid-level managers and senior leaders. Although most companies have more than just three levels, think of this model as a continuum. Each level delivers value to the organization in a specific way.

Empathy is a hallmark of leadership. We need more of it
Lehigh Valley Live
If there is one thing I have realized over the past year, it's that we need leaders. We need leaders in our local and state governments. We need leaders in our communities. We need leaders in healthcare. We need leaders in education. In order to improve the political climate in this divided country, we'll need leaders who are empathetic, to truly understand their citizens and chart a path forward.

Fighting fear of external events — 5 things you can do
Kevin Eikenberry
Remote work and virtual school. Lockdowns and take-out. Pandemics, the economy and climate. Elections, protests and more. I didn't really need to make a list of things that you might fear, but there it is. This article isn't about those things (or whatever else you might put on that list) themselves, but rather how you respond to them. This article is about fighting fears — the fears of things around us and how they might impact our lives, work, and future.

How to take more control of your own growth
Lolly Daskal
We all tend to believe who we are today is the same person we were 10 years ago and the same person we're likely to be 10 years from now. However, if you think about it, there's a good chance that you're a very different person than you were 10 years ago — and that means there's an equally good chance that you'll be a very different person in the future.

Business 2 Community
Three times in the last nine months, senior executives from different organizations have complained to me that the initiatives they're interested in aren't progressing. Of course, it's a stressful time for everyone, and meetings on Zoom aren't as good as whiteboard meetings in real conference rooms and serendipitous catch-ups in the hall. It turned out that just asking a few crucial questions was enough to get their projects moving forward.
