5 benefits of the leadership journey
Skip Prichard
The collaborative leadership journey is an inside-out process. It usually starts with an event that causes the leader to stop and reflect on what is truly important in their lives. Self-reflection that leads to self-awareness then expands to a deeper understanding of who they are as a human being, what matters to them and what difference they want to make in the world.

Working from home dilemma: How to manage your team, without the micro-management
ZDNet
Leadership styles have had to change radically this year. Instead of managing colleagues face-to-face, business leaders have had to lead from afar, supervising disparate teams over Zoom or Microsoft Teams.
It's not a leadership style that many managers would have picked; socially-distanced working has been a necessity rather than a choice.

Compassionate leadership is necessary — but not sufficient
Harvard Business Review

Managing emotional health of employees in a pandemic
ATD
The U.S. and countries around the world were already experiencing a loneliness epidemic before the COVID-19 pandemic dramatically changed our everyday lives. Stress and anxiety are running high in the U.S. over health concerns, economic uncertainty, social unrest, fear of violence, the challenges of distance learning for students and their parents, the impact of natural disasters, the changes in how we conduct business, and the divisive political climate which has been further heightened by it being an election year.

How to manage remote workers when their productivity dips
Quartz
What experts are saying about productivity has ebbed and flowed over the last several months as everyone adjusted to the impact of remote work. What was initially reported as a strong uptick in productivity at the onset of the pandemic — be it because people were clinging to their jobs for dear life, or because they were looking for something to distract them from the newfound chaos — has since slid into a noticeable decline for employees in certain roles.

Creating virtual presence
Kevin Eikenberry
When remote work first began, you were likely focused on getting your work done and not using the webcam any more than necessary. As weeks became months, and months may lead to a new way of working long-term, we must begin to conscious consider our virtual presence. How are you being seen? Is your virtual presence serving you, your teammates and your future?

Why gratitude is so important for leaders
Skip Prichard
We are starved — as friends, spouses, children, citizens and workers — for gratitude. I think it's safe to say that we live in a gratitude desert. Maybe, in America at least, that's because we've bought into a myth of self-reliance — a kind of stoic independence where we go to work, get stuff done and don't need a kind word or anyone else's approval.

Locating yourself in the places of greatest opportunity
By Hank Boyer
 Are you being intentional about locating yourself in the place of greatest opportunity, or do you just let things happen to you? People who make things happen weren't born that way, and they aren't simply lucky. For the most part, people in this group are quite intentional in that they purposely locate themselves in the places of greatest opportunity so that they can capitalize when opportunity presents itself.

Managing an underperformer who thinks they're doing great
Harvard Business Review
An underperformer on your team may not realize they have an inflated view of their own less-than-stellar performance. Clearer feedback or stronger supervision may help them thrive, but it's also possible that they're not able to recognize that they're struggling.

Figuring out whether you're a good leader is harder than you think
Fast Company
Art Markman writes: In 2011, I was asked to serve as director of a new program at the University of Texas called the Human Dimensions of Organizations. We were a startup inside the university that aimed to bring the humanities and the social and behavioral sciences to individuals in organizations who wanted to learn about people.
I always thought of myself as approachable, and I encouraged staff, faculty, and students involved with the program to come to me with their complaints and suggestions.
