Measuring the Effectiveness of Leadership Development
By Dr. Francis Eberle
Leadership development is worth the effort and time. According to a Lorman survey, retention rates rise 30-50% for companies with strong learning cultures. And 74% of surveyed employees feel they aren’t reaching full potential at work due to lack of development opportunities.
Particularly with workforces shifting, employees retiring, and younger employees taking over those roles, leadership development is a crucial need. It can help address the gaps created, fast pace of work, demands for effective and agile teams, and employees’ desires for advancement.

We all did a little something different during our extended time at home during the early days of the pandemic. With Zoom as our new neighborhood hangout, we worked, exercised, and socialized.

Nine Strategies for Being the Leader of You
By Jalene Case
Being a good leader of others starts with leading ourselves and yet, it’s still not a commonly discussed topic. If we use the same definition as leadership but flip it to self, this is what it looks like: Self-leadership is influencing yourself to believe in a vision while creating a sense of purpose and direction for yourself.
In a quest to help my clients (and myself!) be better self-leaders, I created the Self-Leadership Map with nine strategies. In this culmination of a nine-post series, you get to pull together what you’ve learned about yourself. If you want to read or reread the previous eight posts, they’re all together on the Self-Leadership Map web page. Even if you haven’t read all the blog posts, you’ll find the essence of the Self-Leadership Map below. You can use this to support yourself in staying focused on what matters most.
Read MoreThe Importance of Self-Awareness in Growing Influence
Host Dale Dixon and TCL Author and Founder Ron Price describe the significance of growing from consciousness to being conscious in making good judgements for senior leaders. There is so much noise around us that we lose the keenness of self-awareness and self-evaluation. Leaders must choose to increase awareness or it will plateau overtime. Ron provides examples of how leaders can develop their capacity to discern the difference between the degrees of good or bad in any situation..
Emotions and the Quality of Our Thinking
Host Dale Dixon and TCL Author and Founder Ron Price discuss the role of emotion in our thinking as leaders. Studies in neuroscience indicate that thinking creates emotion instead of emotion establishing our thinking. Ron explains how our brain subconsciously makes predictions through our past experiences, our body sending messages to the brain about the energy it needs, and how the external environment is influencing us. He also describes how emotional intelligence helps leaders recognize the depth that emotions impede their predictive judgements.
