This blog assumes that blind spots of power come with the CEO role no matter how good or true or well-intended you are. You can't afford to have them. So I give reminders of what I have seen in my experience to help you see. Or try to see. Monday morning practical tips will help you sharpen up and see what tweaks you and your blind spot. A little whack on the side of the head with your Monday morning coffee.

OPTIMISM, HOPE, ENJOYMENT, HUMOR, LOVING PEOPLE, PLAYFUL, LAUGHING AT LIFE
Don't you feel better just reading those words?
People want these qualities in a leader.
Yes, you need all the skills of leading--strategic thinking, communication, delegation, innovation, blah-blah-blah. You know these.
But people also want all of the above personal qualities in the person who is their leader.
Our workplaces and world has become grim. Positive words from a leader are often a fake marketing facade. Reality is tough. Leading has become about pulling, tugging, scaring, forcing, people. Energy lags. There is a chronic hopelessness.
Try some warmth and nurture and a metaphorical hug for your company:
Positive, grateful, human:
Optimism
Hope
Enjoyment
Humor
Loving people
Playful
Laughing at life
This is where energy comes from to be directed for results that then invigorate a company.
