]]> Comment on Mother as Leader by janis lawrie http://leaderspace.wordpress.com/2009/05/08/mother-as-leader/#comment-30 janis lawrie Fri, 08 May 2009 16:37:03 +0000 http://leaderspace.wordpress.com/2009/05/08/mother-as-leader/#comment-30 There is not much that I can add to the Leaderspace message except to completely agree with the opinion of a Mother being a true leader. I too have lost my mother, and will celebrate on Mother's day in a completely different way than in the past. I will embrace my memories and thank my Mom for all she has given me. I am a connected Mother to my own children because of all the "life lessons" she taught us as we grew. I can only hope to be half the person she was. If you still have your Mom, embrace her and spoil her on Sunday. If she lives far away, connect with her often. If she is gone, honour her memory, as she truly is the person who has shaped you more than anyone else.

The most amazing leader I know. Continuously inspires others around her (even when she doesn't know it) to speak up and be strong leaders for what their heart is telling them. Continues to grow and learn every day, and passionately gives everything she has to her coaching and leadership businesses. Thank you for being so magical in the lives of so many souls. And my mom.

Wow! So many good people in this world. You are lucky to know them all, and I am lucky to know at least some of them. Emily and Spencer are so inspiring, and I haven't even heard them speak to a group! Chris is growing by the minute, I can already feel it in his emails! And then there's you,one of the most amazing people I know. Thank you for sharing. love, Janis Hi Debbie. Wow! So many good people in this world.

]]> Comment on Leadership and the New Economy by leaderspace http://leaderspace.wordpress.com/2009/01/02/leadership-and-the-new-economy/#comment-24 leaderspace Fri, 13 Feb 2009 15:44:22 +0000 http://leaderspace.wordpress.com/?p=28#comment-24 Thanks Karen. What you allude do exists in many places. Often high positional leaders are promoted based on their productivity and results, rarely for their people leadership abilities. When they get there it is a challenge to shift to being a stronger people leader when what got them there was being task focused. In the world now, as we help middle managment be better people leaders,especially the younger generation, they will move up into higher levels already having developed their own self-awareness and people leadership skills. This is the longer term leadership transformation we need. In the meantime their are pockets of people focusing on growing and developing people leaders everywhere, to help influence those around them. Thanks Karen. What you allude do exists in many places.

I currently work in middle management and find it frustrating that most leaders at the top have a fear of their middle management of being successful with their staff - almost to the point of jealousy. I consider myself to be a leader who leads by example and allows my staff to grow with confidence. I am definitely moving forward in my career and hope to take those who exemplify similar qualities with me. Great insight.

I love that store. A small choice is just a piece of the whole. And that's all the whole is, just a collection of pieces. That's why each piece matters so much. Smile for this moment. Emily. Thank you for your post, mom.
