Leadership Development: Just in Case or Just in Time

Reading time: 3 – 5 minutes

The other day I ran across this article from John Cook where he wrote about the difference between “Just in Case” learning and “Just in Time” learning and I’ve been thinking about how Just in Case and Just in Time relate to leadership development.

Very simply, Cook describes Just in Case learning as the type of learning we do in school; we are learning things just in case we need them sometime in the future. Just in Time learning is the type of learning we do on the job; we are learning things right at the [...]

March 7th Leadership Development Carnival

Reading time: 1 – 2 minutes

It’s time again for the Leadership Development Blog Carnival. This month’s blog carnival is host by Dan McCarthy at Great Leadership. Since it was posted last night, Dan chose as this month’s theme the Academy Awards, calling this the Academy Awards Edition of the carnival.

This month’s edition has 41 great entries and I’m again honored to be included.

As always, the blog carnival does not disappoint. There are a number of posts that I previously read since they are from my favorite bloggers, but there are also a good number of posts I had missed this [...]

Intersection of Reflection Leadership and #QUALITY

Reading time: 3 – 4 minutes

I’ve been devoting the last several articles to author and blogger Tanmay Vora’s recent book, #QUALITYtweet. I reviewed the book in a previous article and shared my two-part interview with Tanmay here and here. Today’s article is a guest post from Tanmay.

The Equation of Outcomes

The purpose of leading greatly is to generate high-impact results for the organization, its people, clients and their clients. In the equation of high-impact results (especially in the highly knowledge oriented world of work), two most important factors are people and how they are led.

Leadership creates an environment for people [...]

#QUALITYtweet - An Interview with Tanmay Vora (Part II)

Reading time: 3 – 4 minutes

I’m devoting this week’s articles to author and blogger Tanmay Vora’s recent book, #QUALITYtweet. I reviewed the book in a previous article. Today’s article is part two of this two-part interview with Tanmay. The first part of this interview can be found here.

My experience is that most folks think of project management and quality management as very “hard skill” focused; things are either done or they aren’t. Most of your writing, both in the book and on your blog, seems to focus on the more “soft skills” of leadership. Why do you think it is [...]

#QUALITYtweet - An Interview with Tanmay Vora

Reading time: 3 – 5 minutes

I’m devoting this week’s articles to author and blogger Tanmay Vora’s recent book, #QUALITYtweet. I reviewed the book in my the last article. Today’s article is part one of a two-part interview with Tanmay.

Reading the book, I kept thinking how hard it must have been to get across the points you wanted to make and stay constrained by the 140-character limit. Can you talk about your experience writing the book with this constraint?

I have always believed that reasonable constraints can make us more creative. Twitter has taught us all to express ourselves in 140 characters [...]
