This is actually a lesson in leadership & management we taught our ROTC cadets/ soon-to-be Second Lieutenants. The lesson set was titled "Cross Cultural Competency" and was designed to teach them about some of the foreign cultures they were likely to encounter in their first duty assignments, but also (and perhaps more importantly) how to respect & operate within those cultural boundaries & values without forsaking our own. While we weren't (necessarily) trying to influence or change their culture in totality, it was (and is) a huge part of earning respect by giving respect, and thus perhaps influencing them to appreciate & adopt parts of our culture. What are specific actions you recommend or have successfully practiced to influence and change culture, as a consultant or a new leader? #culture #leadership #leadershipdevelopment #leaderdevelopment #leadershiptraining #leadershipandmanagement

Attention Board Members! 🎩👠 As stewards of our organizations, our image speaks volumes. Dressing appropriately for the occasion isn't just about looking sharp; it's about demonstrating respect, professionalism, and commitment to the role. Whether it's a meeting, event, or presentation, our attire sets the tone and reflects our dedication to excellence. Let's lead by example and show the world the caliber of leaders we are, starting with how we present ourselves. #BoardLeadership #Professionalism #DressForSuccess"

Authentic recognition holds immense value! It goes beyond a simple "good job" message; it involves speaking positively about individuals even in their absence. As a leader, it takes confidence to uplift those under your guidance, understanding that their success reflects positively on your leadership. It's often underestimated how crucial it is to empower those you lead to surpass even your own achievements. Leadership isn't about selfishly hoarding success; rather, it's about cultivating and nurturing other leaders. Be a mentor, a sponsor, and above all, recognize and appreciate those entrusted to your care. #recognitionmatters #leadershipdevelopment

As I enjoyed the crisp, cold, sunny day at Virginia Beach today, I observed a slice of life that mirrors an essential leadership principle. The boardwalk was buzzing with activities suitable for this time of year: people were soaking in the beautiful scenery, breathing in the fresh air, and getting their exercise. Most of us, myself included, were dressed in layers. Yet, a group of young men walked bare-chested, unbothered by the cold. This contrast reflects a truth about leadership and management. Our role as leaders is to set clear goals and foster an environment where creativity can flourish. The way we achieve objectives should allow for flexibility, respecting individual approaches. Just as beachgoers choose their attire based on what makes them comfortable, employees should be encouraged to meet their targets in the way that best leverages their unique abilities. Promoting this diversity in approach not only fosters innovation but also cultivates a more dynamic and resilient team. Let's emulate this lesson from the beach: set clear expectations, then stand back and watch as each team member meets them in their own unique way. #Leadership #Management #Creativity #Teamwork #VirginiaBeach

Making yourself familiar with, but more importantly TO those you want to impact is one of the easiest and quickest ways to create the most positive form of culture as it’s derived from the comfort everyone has with you. While I know the above is NOT exactly the same angle mentioned by the original author, but think about something simple you can do to have a positive impact on someone else… I do what I call a ‘walk about’ and it’s super simple, but has big results in my opinion. The culture around all of this is created by default… not forced. #CultureCreators #CumtureKeepers
