Current events offer loads of lessons for leaders.

We being to look at the world around us and glean the alternate reality of the situations as well as the possible remedies to serve the wider purpose.

This week I ask,  How can a leader who is disrespectful to his superiors expect to be respected by his subordinates?  Through his action, the HR Manager is showing persons in the organization how to treat him and how to treat other leaders. This I consider unacceptable.

It seems that elections are the time to divide and conquer.  The masses are pit against each other along the lines of race, politics, ethnicity or any way in which a difference can be found.  I believe that its part of a capitalist agenda - the few will remain in control of the many.

In this podcast I offer a perspective on race as it relates to the Trinidad and Tobago general elections that was recently held.  It is also  applicable to you where you live because we are all the same even though our constructs tell us differently.

As I host  group coaching sessions with leaders and teams, most teams are concerned with their work life balance and ask how to maintain this,

As work from home becomes institutionalised, it may be difficult to perceive a distinct separation between our work and personal lives,

Our workplaces have encroached our lives,

Leaders we have a responsibility to promote work life balance for ourselves and fro our teams.

Its is possible with some thought and deliberate actions.

I  have been chatting with various teams and they all share the same sentiment. We are stressed and we are burnt out.

Leaders I know that the stress for you is also magnified.  We have 5 more months to complete all the actions from the Strategic plans. 

How do we help our teams cope with the stress so that they can work?

In this podcast I suggest one cause of stress and give recommendation of how to deal with stress.

Transparency leads to #accountability and accountability promotes #transparency.

Leaders cannot be 100% transparent at all times.  Tis would be irresponsible.  Leaders have to hold the balance between the need to be strategic,  confidential and the need for transparency.

They also need to have #woisodm to know  what and when to keep items confidential and not spill the beans.

Transparency is for both positive and negative situations.  Its a muscle we have to build.

In this episode I share the 4 levels of #accountability. and provide some tips for leaders who want to promote accountability in the workplace.

Leaders called  to be accountable especially when things go wrong..

Sometimes the responses to the call indicate that leaders don’t quite understand what accountability means.

Leaders are great at taking responsibility. They are great at fulfilling their ongoing duty to complete the task at hand directly or indirectly.  That is the end of responsibility.

Accountability is what happens after a situation occurs. It refers to the leader's response and her/ his ability to take ownership of the results of a task

So quick way to remember. I am responsible for completing the task, I am accountable for the outcome of the task and I take ownership of all that follows after
