"Leadership is not about titles, positions or flowcharts. It is about one life influencing another." - John C. MaxwellThe old leader should refrain from making key decisions, allowing the new leader to finalize tasks and set priorities. Advice should only be offered when requested, respecting the new leader's autonomy. Strategic guidance can be provided, but operational control should be avoided. "The Transition Manual" by Dan Ciampa and Michael D. Watkins*Great Leaders:*1. Nelson Mandela (Former President of South Africa) - Stepped down after one term, paving the way for a smooth transition.2. George Washington (First US President) - Voluntarily stepped down after two terms, establishing a precedent.3.

Warren Bennis defined leadership crucibles as transformative life events that shape leaders' leadership styles. As an immigrant, I always thought that immigration has such a strong influence on the way I teach. In a small study analyzing press interviews of twenty prominent immigrant leaders in the US, we found that these leaders feel immigration has contributed positively to the way they lead: they feel more benevolent, more egalitarian, and more humble as a result of their immigration experience. In an election year marked by anti-immigrant rhetoric, highlighting these positive contributions of immigrant leaders feels particularly pertinent and valuable to put things in perspective. #leadership #leadershipcrucibles #immigration #warrenbennis USC Marshall School of Business

Gunboat Diplomacy in Leadership: Short-Term Gains, Long-Term Costs Using "gunboat diplomacy" in leadership, where strict authority and pressure are applied to keep a team in line, can deliver quick results but often harms long-term morale and team culture. While it may drive immediate compliance, it fosters a toxic environment, with employees acting out of fear rather than motivation. Over time, trust erodes, creativity diminishes, and productivity suffers, making this approach unsustainable. A Better Approach: Empowerment and Positive Reinforcement A more effective, sustainable alternative is to foster accountability, trust, and empowerment. Leaders should focus on positive reinforcement, open communication, and recognizing progress. This creates a culture where team members feel valued and invested in their work, leading to higher morale, better performance, and a self-motivated, efficient team that thrives on trust and collaboration, rather than pressure. #Leadership #TeamCulture #SustainableLeadership #PositiveReinforcement #EmployeeEngagement #Efficiency #MoraleBooster

“We are lacking leadership. Where are the brave leaders that will take the initiative? In the era of big challenges, the world needs leadership!” - Sanna Marin, former Prime Minister of Finland 🇫🇮 The need of the hour was voiced by the youngest global leader at this intriguing panel comprising of the powerful conglomerate of former PMs from- United Kingdom 🇬🇧: Tony Blair Italy 🇮🇹: Matteo Renzi France 🇫🇷 MEP: Sandro Gozi Discussing the course of geopolitics, the onslaughts of global economies, and the future of the new governments, the room was charged up with this dynamic confluence of power and ambition. The point that stood out for me is presented in this attached video clip. Rightfully pointing out the underlying issue amidst all global problems is the need for reliable, courageous and authentic leadership. Without the vision of a good leader, it is impossible for any country to achieve the goals it sets itself towards. We need #representation that people can look up to and learn from. This is the core of our mission at The Leading You^nth where we are building the #leadersoftomorrow by training, mentoring and inspiring the #youthoftoday. It was of great reassurance to see our mission resonate with global leaders on this panel. It fuels us to continue striving towards our organisation’s goals to empower and upskill every young person to be confident leaders in whatever they choose to do. Thanks to the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change for organising a power-packed day of topical sessions with an inspiring line up of speakers in the heart of London. #leaders #youthleadership #global #bettertomorrow

What do you do then, when you have something hurtful to say? Well, even if it is true, you don’t say it. It is a fine balance between truth and trust that leaders have to find. Creating an environment of trust is essential, and it doesn’t work if you keep hurting peoples feelings or self image. No matter what the leader’s vision is, what they are working towards, it is not worth hurting people. Practice diplomacy, find a way for people to grow and change by themselves, but never hurt anyone. It’s not worth it! #leadership #positivemanagement #trust Learn more about how ancient philosophy can guide us on the path to success in this article: https://lnkd.in/dMeWDxhn
