Two for Tuesday - Streamlined Version


Hi Reader,

I hope this Tuesday finds you well. I was working on a post for today when I was called away for an important family matter. So, no musings, but I still have recommendations.

I'll be back with more next week.

Recommendations

7 Essential Requirements for All Good Leaders by Dan Reiland. These are all things a non-anxious leader does. To me, they are the essence of self-differentiation.

6 Essentials for Influencing People Who Don’t Want to Change or Commit by Matt Norman. Leadership is about change, but nobody wants to be told what to do. This is a great summary of how to approach things as a non-anxious presence.

Podcast

Episode 290 of The Non-Anxious Leader Podcast, An Interview with Dr. Kathleen Smith (Part 3 of 4), is now available.

That's it for this week. Thanks for reading.

Peace,

Jack

Hi Reader,It's Tuesday! This week's post introduces a concept that might help you navigate the increasing polarization in the world. I hope you find it helpful. It’s Complicated Photo: depositphotos Read on the Blog It’s human nature to want to simplify things. We also like certainty. Most of us would prefer things to be black or white but most of life is grey. It’s complicated. What do we make of the friend or family member whose political views seem insane? Is it possible to love them but...
