Leadership Alive #5: Making the Time to Lead
The act of leading often gets deferred until all the management tasks are checked off. Consequently, true leadership -- clarifying where you are going and influencing people to do extraordinary things -- doesn't happen. How are you doing with time and reserving the time to lead? Are you doing as much leading as managing? In May's Leadership Alive session, John and Aarron talk about the structure of a leader's time and day, investing your resources in genuine leadership, and the art of prioritizing what truly makes things better.

Leadership Alive #4: Rising Above Blame
“Who’s responsible for this?!!” is the go-to question in our world today. When goals are unmet or things go wrong we are eager to blame someone. Blame is a rarely discussed leadership topic but one with important implications for our ability to successfully influence, dispel fear, and lead organizational success. Blame or attribution is deeply connected to culture, accountability, and improvement. In this episode of Leadership Alive, John and Aarron discuss blame, attribution errors, and how we can rise above the blame game.

The Path to Great Leadership
Ongoing leadership growth, maturation, and development is not only the path to more success; it is the path to more satisfaction and enjoyment of the role. But leaders often stall out. We are habitual creatures that keep using the same old strategies and tactics. When leadership development becomes a path of growth and maturation, our personal and organizational leadership practices flourish. In this edition of Leadership Alive, we discuss the why and how of ongoing leadership development.

The Most Difficult Conversation You Will Ever Have
The most difficult conversation you'll have is the one you don’t want to have. Most leaders struggle with a difficult conversation. It could be about delivering hard truth. It could be the uncomfortable conversation you need to have with a boss. When we face difficult conversations our leadership maturity leaps forward. Aarron and John talk about these conversations, how to recognize when you don’t want to have them, and specific tips for building the courage to actually face and have these conversations proactively.
