Four Suggestions to Help You Lead by Relationships and Realize Your Vision. Image credit: iStockphoto Abraham Lincoln inspired me, like so many others, to lead by relationships.
Donald T. Phillips (Lincoln on Leadership) and Doris Kearns Goodwin (Team of Rivals) describe that president as a kind, gentle and genuinely personable man for whom many subordinates deeply cared. He got close to his cabinet, his personal secretaries and his generals, and wasn't afraid to let them into his personal world. But Lincoln never gave up his ideals. The key to building relationships that will strengthen an educational leader's vision is being highly accessible and spending quality time talking and listening to teachers and support staff.
Here are my four suggestions toward becoming a more effective leader. 1. Be a presence in schools each day. 2. Invite a school leader's cabinet to an early takeout dinner once per month. 3. Hold vision town halls during which you share your short-, mid- and long-term goals in a conversation-style gathering.

ALIA Institute. For the past 14 years, ALIA has been situated at the intersection of many roads.
Travelers stop here to recharge, exchange stories from the field, and sharpen their skills. Some of these people are thought leaders and entrepreneurs applying new approaches to strategy, leadership, and change. Others are leaders, managers, policy makers, and educators looking for new options when the old ones are no longer working or not even possible. ALIA is a convener of pioneering leaders and networks who are implementing positive change. It is also a place of applied learning and skill-building in the art and practice of authentic leadership, systems change, and social innovation.
ALIA recognizes that leadership is concentrated in formal positions, but it also exists everywhere. Where we come from ALIA (“Authentic Leadership in Action”) began in June 2001 as the week-long Shambhala Summer Institute, which convened in Halifax, Nova Scotia, on the east coast of Canada. What we do Who we are. RSA Animate - The Empathic Civilisation. Senior citizen LOL – i12LOL! I discovered something new today.
I mean… yes, I know… I discover something new every day. But today, I discovered something that made my heart fuzzy and my eyes watery. It was so moving that I got back up out of bed, and came back downstairs to type this blog. I was just about to sleep, when my iPhone pinged. True, I have a bad, bad habit of always checking my email, even in bed, even at 4am. My mom lives with my stepdad. I taught my mom how to use email many years ago. Anyway, I did manage to teach her how to email me – a very important skill indeed, when your family is spread out over the four corners of the world.
Neuro-fiction: A guide to dissecting overblown neuroscience headlines. Neuroscientist Molly Crockett has a secret to share: if you want to make better decisions, eat a grilled cheese sandwich. In today’s talk, filmed at the TEDSalon in London, Crockett shares how she accidentally had a part in circulating this message. Several years ago, Crockett and her fellow researchers set out to study how serotonin would effect reactions when a person felt that they were treated unfairly. They manipulated serotonin in a study by giving participants a beverage designed to deplete the brain of the amino acid tryptophan, which gets converted into serotonin.
The study found that, when tryptophan was low, people were more likely to seek revenge when they felt mistreated. “That’s the study we did. “At this point you might be wondering, ‘Did I miss something? This kind elision happens all the time as the press reports on neuroscience. “Neuroscience is turning up more and more in marketing,” says Crockett.
Diederik Stapel’s Audacious Academic Fraud. Mmunication crisis in Coaching? Posted On Tuesday, 29th January 2013 by James Marshall Is there a communication crisis in coaching?
When I ask fellow coaches what are the important skills necessary to coach, "communication" is always one of the answers. The ironic thing is that no one can then agree on what commmunication involves. A conversation I had this week with Ollie O'Mara (who is a trainee Doctoral Psychologist) made me realise that I had been thinking about the tools of communication, rather than the underlying message. The tools of coaching communication. An incomplete list, but communication does include the following: How much of the above is taught on your coaching qualifications?
