As part of the interview series, I asked Mary Ann Scully “What is the essential skill to SPEAK, SOUND, and LOOK Like a Leader?” Here is her response: “I think it's perspective and passion. Perspective reflects the competency and the confidence that you need to bring to leadership, but it also reflects that other centeredness. I think perspective is very, very important and anything that you can bring passion to is likely to be more successful than if it's just an intellectual exercise. So I think those are the two things that you don't necessarily hear about in those terms very often, but it's something that's guided me these last 20 years or so.“ To hear the complete interview, click on the first comment. #leadershipskills #communication #leadership

During an exit interview some years back I had an HR director say these words to me... "You can find someone with the skill and no will, or the will and no skill. But rarely do you find someone with both. When you do you must do your best to keep them." I took them to heart and I have never forgotten them as they help me to measure my salt as well as others that I encounter. #leadershipcoaching #leadership #workforcedevelopment

Leadership Style… A common question in many interviews is, “How would you describe your leadership style?” A more insightful question is, “Why is my style that important?” The core question is, “What is the leadership needed?” And…can I be or become a leader that brings the approach most needed at that time and situation/opportunity in that organization? Don’t simply drop an anwser on the table. Seek the information needed to make a real difference. #leadership,#contrarian,#change, #makeadifference, #empowerothers

Successful interviewing is a powerful leadership tool that goes beyond just gathering information, it's about understanding people. The best interviews are rooted in empathy, active listening, and a genuine curiosity to uncover the truth. As leaders, we set the tone by creating an environment where individuals feel heard and valued, which leads to more open and honest dialogue. This approach not only enhances the quality of the information gathered but also reinforces trust within the team. Leadership in interviewing is about recognizing that every conversation shapes relationships, influences outcomes, and ultimately drives the success of the organization. #Leadership #InterviewingSkills #EmotionalIntelligence #ActiveListening #TrustBuilding #TeamCulture #ProfessionalGrowth #LeadershipDevelopment

Week #3 of Critical Soft Skills A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves. Lao Tzu. Top leaders are not always visible to the naked eye. However, when you attend an in-person interview be ready to verbalize your leadership abilities to show your future employer the skills you could bring to the organization. Consider the question below before your next interview. Leadership: What projects/programs have you been responsible for and how did you "exceed expectations"? #ambschemicalsearch #chemicals #interviewskills #leadership

As part of the interview series, “I asked John Dinkel “What is the essential skill to SPEAK, SOUND, and LOOK Like a Leader?” Here is his response: “…Understanding who are your best referral partners and who are your best centers of influence. A lot of communication is involved and the essential skill to speak, to build relationships, and to be a leader.…I think of building really deep relationships with those folks and communicating with them and talking to them often. And most importantly, showing them value. The leadership part of that is then taking that and coaching your team on how they can do the same.” To hear the complete interview, click on the first comment.  #leadershipskills #communication #leadership
