What is the difference between a poor leader and a strong one? According to this infographic, these two kinds of leaders are distinguished by 7 key characteristics. Do you agree with this list of characteristics? Is there anything you would add or subtract to it? And if you had to pick just one characteristic, what would it be?

Burnout is an all-too-common experience that can have a negative impact not only on the individual going through it, but on everyone around them (even a whole team or organization at work), so it is important to understand and deal with this phenomenon. This infographic illustrates 6 causes of burnout –Excessive workloads, Poor Relationships, Lack of Recognition, Lack of Control, Unfair Conditions, and Mismatched Values – as well as strategies to address each of these. Which of these 6 causes of burnout do you think is most relevant, and what do you think leaders can do to prevent and address burnout in their organization?

It isn’t easy during the work week to pay attention to the needs of your mind, body and soul, but this long weekend might be a good time to start. This pie-shaped infographic proposes a 4-part plan – to Unplug, Connect, Exercise, and Rest – that seems viable even for those of us without lots of spare time. I really like that it doesn’t demand too much – not signing up for a daily exercise class; just doing a few stretches or a 10-minute dance. And I love its recommendation (under Rest) to do nothing for an hour. What might you do this weekend (and beyond) to help renew yourself before you return to work?

As we approach the end of 2022, here are my 4 most “liked” posts for this year! Let’s start with #4, which garnered 7,427 likes, 484 comments, 1,300 shares, and 665,844 views (impressions):

Being accountable is one of the most important qualities of leadership, and also of just being a good human being. People with an Accountable mindset take responsibility for their actions, unlike people with a Victim mindset, who blame others for their failures or mistakes. I’ll never forget a man I worked with who was late (as usual) for a meeting, and on that day gave as his excuse, “The bus didn’t wait for me.” It was actually the bus’ fault he was late! We’ve all used excuses at one point or another, including sometimes some pretty flimsy ones, but blaming a bus was in a class of its own! As this infographic illustrates, the Victim mindset relies on unawareness, blame, excuses, and unrealistic hope, whereas the Accountable mindset acknowledges reality, owns the problem, finds a solution, and makes it happen. What a different world we would be living in if everyone behaved with accountability! In your workplace (or in your life in general), how much accountability is there, and what could you do to increase it? (Framework: Bruce Gordon. Sketchnote: Sketchplanations)

We’re taught at school that asking questions means you don’t understand something and therefore aren’t smart, but the exact opposite is true: the smartest people and the best learners ask the most questions – and they ask the right ones. So question, question, question – it’s the key to everything. (Source: Grant Snider)

We’ve all had bosses and co-workers (as well as acquaintances or relatives) who are arrogant and poison the atmosphere around them for everyone else. We also have all had moments of being arrogant or closed-minded ourselves. This sketchnote illustrates how we can move from arrogance to humility, as leaders or as colleagues (and also in our personal lives, as family members and friends). Becoming better people – more humble and more open to others – can send ripples outward that transform our workplaces and communities. (Source: Ben Renshaw, CEOWorld.biz.

Creativity and innovation are crucial components of success at work, and therefore worth developing, but some people think that since creativity is innate, it is something we can just take for granted and count on to be there whenever we want it. In my experience, though, our creativity muscle needs exercising just like any other. It is crucial not only for our artistic or professional work but also for living our lives well, so it warrants nurturing and intentionality. Today I plan to focus especially on numbers 22, 24, and 29 in this infographic: Don’t force it, Create a framework, and Have fun! Which tips here speak most to you?

It’s easy to look at the people we work (or live) with in simplistic terms, as if they have just one main characteristic, like confidence, but we are all more complex than that - and appreciating this leads to better, deeper, and more productive relationships at work (and beyond). What seem to be opposites are often not opposites, and apparently contradictory things can co-exist. For instance, a person can be both self-forgiving and committed to accountability; can make mistakes and grow; learn and unlearn; and be both confident and anxious. Have you had this experience, where you were surprised by the complexity of one of your colleagues or team members? And what do you think you, or leaders, can do to make space for this sort of complexity and nuance in the workplace?

Managing our emotions is crucial for our success at work, but it isn’t always easy to do, especially during challenging times or when confronted with frustrating situations. Anger is one feeling that can sometimes be particularly hard to manage. This infographic offers 4 steps to anger management: Thinking about 1) your triggers, 2) your thinking, 3) your feelings, and 4) how you express anger. Do you know anyone who has trouble managing their anger? Do you think these 4 steps could be useful for them? And how do you think good anger management can be fostered in the workplace?
