Restoring, Rediscovering & Reawakening
Your Leader Within |
Greetings!
Fall is coming soon, the time of the harvest. What has your leadership and personal growth been like for you so far this year? What garden did you envision in the January winter, plan and plant in the spring, and nurture through the summer? What are you now beginning to reap as rewards for your intentions, commitments and efforts this year? This is the season for reflection. How have you stayed true to your values, your hopes and your dreams this year?  Hopefully, you have lot's to be happy and satisfied with and many things to be grateful for. If you do find yourself lagging in accomplishing some things you intended, there are four months left to the end of the year. It's never too late to begin! This month's newsletter focuses on the importance of cultivating self awareness and personal growth; whether you are a leader of an organization or leader of your own life. It features valuable information about challenges for leaders in 2011, articles on the evolution of how we view leadership, and details about the core practices and behaviors of Wisdom Leaders. These track closely with current research about the critical role self awareness plays in successful leadership. If you missed my blog, Calling on Nature, you can link to it here as well as some other recent entries.
I hope you enjoy what you see here this month. And if so, please pass it along to others.
Have a great September!
Best,
Jamie

HR Experts Identify Retention as a Key Challenge in 2011
Human resources experts identify retention as a key challenge in 2011. Seems impossible? A recent study by Corporate Executive Board's Corporate Leadership Council conducted research that finds less than one quarter of employees (23 percent) exhibited a high level of "intent to stay," a leading measure of turnover. Other experts in workplace trends indicate that approximately 60% of employees are contemplating leaving their current jobs once the economy improves and stabilizes. What is the solution? Well, one of them is to invest in employees now. "Employees are most valuable asset", we hear over and over. How do leaders demonstrate this?

The Evolution of Leadership "Of all the skills and aspirations good bosses must have, self-awareness is probably the most important. Cornell University's David Dunning has shown that poor performers consistently overestimate their intellectual and social skills. In contrast, the best performers accurately judge both their strengths and their flaws."
This is an excerpt from Robert Sutton, a professor of management science and engineering at Stanford University in his upcoming new book, Good Boss, Bad Boss; How to be the Best and Learn from the Worst.

The Four Pathways of the Wisdom Leader
Today increasing numbers of leaders recognize the great  value of wisdom traditions and their applications to their personal and organizational challenges. Leadership development theorists have incorporated this knowledge into their models for decades. These include three fundamental truths:
-
Leaders must ensure they lead in ways that demonstrate conviction, vision, connection and trust.
-
To survive and thrive in the world and global community, leaders must ensure values and practices of connection, transparency; productivity and sustainability are ever present in their organizations.
-
The most powerful leaders are those who cultivate self awareness and an inner sense of wholeness that arises from integrating the physical, mental, emotional and physical parts of self.
