Sister Elizabeth Kenny was a self-trained nurse who made major contributions to the treatment of polio and provided care during World War I. She made this observation about anger: "He who angers you, conquers you." It reminds me of the observation by Dr. Mark Goulston: "An attack is an opportunity... for poise! Stripping you of your poise is their best weapon." Something is going to happen this week that will have the opportunity to set you off. Strip you of your poise. Remember the wise words of Sister Elizabeth Kenny. What are some examples you've seen of where the observations from Kenny and Goulston were shown to be true? (My 15-year-old daughter says Star Wars is full of examples of this!) How do you try to keep your poise when you feel angry or attacked? Leave a comment below. Have a great week! Dr. Mark Goulston joined me to discuss his book Talking To Crazy.

Glad to see that the Academy of Management insights are recognizing our work again. Unfortunately, with everything going on in the world, I fear that there are some insights that can be relevant for today, too. You find the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dEc9dtM6 If you are interested in related insights you can find them below, including how organizations can use extreme fiction to reflect upon their own operations. * https://lnkd.in/dfGr3w8B * https://lnkd.in/dWTgpKQ9 * https://lnkd.in/dHbGFuNy
#Leadership Lessons for the Zombie Apocalypse https://lnkd.in/g2kX3nsp In the event of a zombie plague, survival would be a daily struggle. Resources would be scarce, with the threat of attack omnipresent. Bands of disparate survivors probably would not get along, and their #leaders probably would not have all the answers. This scenario, inspired by countless film interpretations and most recently, the television series The Walking Dead, can provide real-life lessons on how to effectively manage groups working amid a doomsday situation, according to an Academy of Management Perspectives article. “Police are trained for terrorist attacks. Emergency responders are trained for fires and floods. But we don’t know how people would react in a total apocalypse. By going outside the box we are forcing #creativity,” explained Markus Hällgren of Umeå University. Hällgren and coauthor David Buchanan of Cranfield School of Management analyzed the long-running TV series, based on the graphic novels by Robert Kirkman. Hällgren and Buchanan said their findings have implications for policies and practices in doomsday scenarios.

We are in a perpetual cycle of leadership trauma. We experience today the trauma of past generations of management. We can break this cycle. What are you going to do about it?
