The Cranky Middle Manager Show #045

This week we have a return visit from one of our most popular guests- Judith Glaser, author of The DNA of Leadership. What is leadership and do we all have it in us????

SHOW NOTES
Â

0:00 Welcome to the show.  Today we talk about one of the 4 Disciplines of Management- Leadership. First though, some stuff about our new show. We’ve made it easier than ever to be part of the fun. Put yourself on our Frappr map, leave an ODEO comment and just plain subscribe. We had our biggest month ever last month, let’s keep it growing.

2:37  Leaders supposedly can come from anywhere, but really great leaders are not a dime a dozen. We discuss Giusseppe Garibaldi. Now there was a man. His wife was no slouch either as it turns out. What did he have that the rest of us (okay, ME) lack in such copious amounts?

4:24 The quote of the week is from the son of a president who became president himself. This one actually has something to say so it’s not the current occupant of the job…….

5:54 Welcome Judith Glaser. What is all this talk about The DNA of Leadership anyway? Nurture, nature or otherwise?

10:17 There are 7 “Leadership Genes”. The spell CHANGE, and we get through 4 of them on the show. The first one is C for Community- how toxic is the environment where you work?

13:58 The second gene, H, is for Humanizing. A great story about Verisign, the web company. How’s the “Communication culture” in your company?

18:00 A is for Aspirations.  Are you helping your people reach their aspirations? I confess this show is one of mine. Is that a good thing or am I delusional?

24:00 N is for Navigating. How do you work your way through your worklife. Sharing information, building teams, capturing and sharing best practices.

26:30 The rest of them are Generating, Expressing and Spirit (of Reinvention).

28:00 Judith talks about a book called Mini Iniquities. Darned if I can find a link to it anywhere.

Thanks for listening gang.
