The foundational part of any management or leadership development or training or learning is awareness. Can we possibly be effective leaders if we are not fully conscious of what is going on around us?

I have to work hard every day on not ONLY being aware of the little things going on around me, but also to (Read the article)

I was talking today with a former Director of Executive Development for a major company - one of the best companies to work for in the U.S. He reminded me of how his organization was able to calculate ROI for the Enlightened Leadership Solutions work we had done for him.

There is a friendly little challenge for you at the end of the 8 minute video.

Listen to it now and provide your comments!

What are your thoughts about the video, the ROI calculation and the challenge? Comment now, or send us an email.

Best regards,

Over the weekend, as I was thinking of special people I wanted as guest speakers for our Making Managers into Leaders Institute, I began to think of our own current and former facilitators, coaches and consultants. I had never realized it before, but I was able to quickly write down six of their names who have gone on to become authors in their own right. And there might be more.

That is so cool! It must be a little like the feeling of being a grandparent (I can only speculate at this point. :-)). But it is tremendously gratifying for me to realize that AT LEAST SIX OF OUR FACILITATORS HAVE NOW WRITTEN AND PUBLISHED THEIR OWN SUBSTANTIVE BOOKS! I can’t wait for them to start contributing value to our library of management/ leadership development content - helping you solve your management challenges!

One of those special talents is Stephen McGhee, who has recently written an excellent book, “Learning to Believe the Unbelievable: Living Life as a Miracle Leader.” We will ask Stephen do a video soon for Institute members about some of his profound insights about leadership and management, and also a longer webinar for additional depth.

Meanwhile, here is Stephen reporting what happened as a result of one of his team sessions several years ago:

This is one of 101 audio learning snippets already in the Making Managers into Leaders Institute. We’ll be sharing more about the Institute this week.

What are your questions or comments? We are eager to know what they are.

Welcome to the Leadership Made Simple Journal. We hope we will be able to serve you well as we share practical leadership tips — based on our forthcoming book, Leadership Made Simple: Practical Solutions to Your Greatest Management Challenges, as well as our previous best-selling book, Enlightened Leadership: Getting to the Heart of Change, and our combined 35 years of leadership development experience.

Looking at it simply, every organizational process has two parts, the “hard” part and the “soft” part. As we have queried managers from over 65 countries over the last 19 years, we have consistently heard, “The soft part is the more difficult part,” and the soft part is about the people issues. With that clarity, we plan most of our journals to address the people side of your management challenges. We see these as your “greatest management challenges.” Some will address balancing the two parts, and all address accomplishing the hard part through your people. As we make comments like “through your people,” we trust you’ll be able to provide your own context — whether that is a team, an organization, or even your family members.

We plan to use this journal as an opportunity to go a bit deeper than our books could go and keep them a decent size. If you register on this site, you can also make comments and ask questions. That would help us determine topics with the most interest. We welcome feedback of any kind!

Warm regards,

Ed Oakley
