Close the door on what you think you know about leadership

Leaders are still subscribing to many things they have been told over the years -- even though the world around them has changed and those adages have stopped producing good results. Now is the time to question the concepts and ideas that are hindering results. Leaders have resistant employees because they hold the mindsets that it is impossible not to. Leaders incorrectly deduce that people should be able to approach them with anything they have on their minds. Recognition is good, but only when you tell employees when they do a good job and when they do something that's not so great. Leaders haven't changed the way they manage so they can be effective with the next generation. Positive psychology asserts that happiness is correlated to taking personal accountability for circumstances, thriving in given circumstances, not necessarily having cushy circumstances. The work climate is a reflection of your leadership. Make it a drama-free, peaceful, and successful place to work.
