Why Do Leaders Fail at Their Jobs?

Lifestyle

Recently, I summed up in one sentence exactly why people quit their jobs. Well, actually, Gallup CEO Jim Clifton did, stating that the real reason is due to bad managers. That’s based on decades of data and interviews with 25 million employees, Gallup found. Naturally, the next question should be why? This is what I aim to answer here as a follow up: “Why do leaders fail at their jobs, exactly?” First, we need a clear definition of what great leadership looks like, as a backdrop to answer that question in one succinct sentence. I’m going to put everything on the line here. If you were to ask these ten of the world’s most successful leaders about their roles as CEOs of their respective companies, I would wager that every single one of them would tell you that a leader’s ultimate role (...

Powerful Leadership Lesson by the Co-Founder of Southwest Airlines

Lifestyle

In our discussion about business success we talk a lot about the importance of grit, failure, and even time management. But in our conversations about leadership one thing doesn’t seem to come up often: humility. I recently keynoted the conference where I spoke about innovation and leadership, which prompted a lot of follow-up conversations with the attendees. But one story, told to me by Gregg Gregory, the founder of Teams Rock and a public speaker, was especially fascinating. It was a story of humble leadership. About fifteen years ago Gregory was boarding the Southwest flight flying out of Orlando, Florida. Way in front of him in the boarding line he noticed a man with a giant Mickey Mouse baseball hat on. He didn’t think anything about it until he walked onto the plane and saw tha...

‘Dress for Success’ Still Matters, Possibly More than Ever

Lifestyle

First impressions are unavoidable. You can spend a long time trying to convince others of your qualities, but you’ll have a difficult time being perceived as genuine if your appearance doesn’t sync with the values you’re trying to express. The image you choose to portray to others is a big reflection of your true self, but the opposite effect can also be achieved. Ever heard the slogan “dress for success”? It’s true. Research psychologist Jeffrey L. Magee surveyed over 500 firms to assess the impact of dress in the workplace. His studies led to the conclusion that continually relaxed dress ultimately leads to relaxed manners, relaxed morals and relaxed productivity. Magee’s findings shouldn’t come as a surprise. Here’s why. It’s simple psychology. Think about your own experience. ...

“I found my life got bigger when I stopped caring about what people thought of me.” : Tim Cook

Lifestyle

Tim Cook urged Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s class of 2017 to use their minds, hands, and heart to build something bigger than themselves, and to never lose sight of their humanity. Apple’s CEO told the graduates on Friday morning that they must keep their morals at the center of what they do. “Measure your impact on humanity not in likes but in the lives you touch, not in popularity but the people you serve,” Cook said during his commencement speech. “I found my life got bigger when I stopped caring about what people thought of me.” Cook explained that when he was younger, he struggled to find purpose in his life. He searched for it in graduate school at Duke University, meditation, religion, and the writings of philosophers. He also joked about a “moment of youthful indiscr...

Nawazuddin Siddiqui transforms into Manto in first look from the film

Entertainment

Nawazuddin Siddiqui channels short story writer Saadat Hasan Manto in the first poster of the Nandita Das-directed film where his penetrating gaze captures the attention. Nawazuddin, who is essaying the titular role in the movie titled “Manto”, appears lost as he carries the writer’s signature dishevelled hair with elan. The sepia-toned poster resembles a pamphlet with few Urdu scribblings spread across the canvas. A red-coloured broad brushstroke mars the portrait of Nawazuddin’s Manto, perhaps to symbolise the bloodshed associated with the Partition that deeply affected the “Thanda Gosht” writer. The title appears in a broken font to suggest the fragile state of mind that the author harboured during the division of India and Pakistan. The first look of this feature fil...
