You want to be the go-to person at the office – the one others look to when they need a difficult or time-pressured project completed successfully. However, you know that you cannot say “yes” to every project or assignment that comes your way. If y...

Lead Star Leaders convince - they don't command. No one ever influenced anyone by bossing them around and barking out orders. If you're looking to increase your influence, seek to gain buy in.

No one wants to be wrong. Everyone wants all of their decisions, selections, opinions, perspectives and actions to be 100% right all of the time. But this will never happen...

Being able to admit you are wrong and then dealing with it appropriately seem to be lost arts these days.

Lead Star You can't control a bad boss, but you can control the amount of time you dedicate to thinking about this person and their lack of appreciation for you. Don't give that bad boss your precious energy: save your energy for things you can control, such as the amount of leadership you provide to your teammates.

Agreed! Most everyone will have at least one "bad boss" experience in their life. If not a bad boss, a "bad teacher"! This lesson is so important for students (and their parents) ... the energy you expend whining about it will be wasted - so try your hardest to get clarification on the deliverables, work earnestly and productively on the problems at hand, self and co-worker promote to others when possible, and stay positive!

Lead Star Change isn't always comfortable, but it can bring out the best in us. Just finished presenting for Arbitron in Dallas - the radio industry has certainly been hit by the economy and is in the midst of a revolution, but what is impressive to see is that these professionals are embracing the change for the opportunities that lie ahead. We all can learn from these.

Lead Star Why is it that we don't want our personal life to infringe upon work, but we have no problem having our work infringe upon our personal life? Strong leaders seek boundaries. We need time to step away from work to get perspective on our career and our life.

Great point, Judi - especially in the careers you mentioned, sometimes there are no physical boundaries. Perhaps it would be better to strive to achieve some personal space - especially for professionals who are at the risk of burnout, there are times when you need to step away and clear your mind. This can be achieved in many ways.

Lead Star Do you want to inspire confidence? Be sure to follow through on your commitments. By being inconsistent, or over-committing and under-delivering, you chip away at your credibility. To lead effectively you have to be credible in the eyes of those who you are looking to lead.

It's just great to see a more focused effort on diversity - relating to gender, as well as race. I've never really thought of the Corps as a humble organization, so to hear their confessions that they have work to do in this area is impressive.

Lead Star We provided a keynote yesterday for Richmond's NAWBO Chapter. It was inspiring to hear so many best practices on how these small business owners were surviving the economic downturn. What I love to hear is their stories of perseverence - such as one woman who shared that she has decided to ignore the economy and focus on her customer service.

Lead Star This fall is going by quite quickly! Are you too busy doing that you forget about being? Don't forget to remind yourself that this is your life and you should be enjoying it.
