Leadership requires care. Care that extends to the people around you, for whom leaders are responsible. But also care for the practice of leadership itself.Ideas about this extend back to Plato, who engaged in many conversations about the responsibilities of leaders, the dangers of too much power, and considering the good of others.Princeton professor Melissa Lane, whose book Of Rule and Office: Plato’s Ideas of the Political, joins us to explore the impact of Plato's ideas today, as we struggle with concepts of accountability and servant leadership.

This is the second in our four-part series on core leadership skills.In 1831 Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote “It is a luxury to be understood,” and it is still a luxury in the modern day. Perhaps even more so, given the number of modes of communication and fractured attention.Communication is at the very core of your leadership. Without it, you have nothing. Which is why working on your communication skills is so important.

It will start you on a fresh journey that goes beyond your last achievement and helps you minimize your regrets, allowing you to live the life you were meant to live.We are living an earned life when the choices, risks, and effort we make in each moment align with an overarching purpose in our lives, regardless of the eventual outcome.

Join us as we embark on a four-part series on core leadership skills.Inscribed on the Temple of Apollo in the 5th century B.C., the phrase “Know thyself” is considered a universal truth. So it’s appropriate that the first leadership skill we’re exploring is self-awareness.Too many leaders are tone-deaf or ego-driven to be self-aware. And yet, it’s probably the single most important leadership skill, as it makes it possible for other skills to grow.Links* Related Timeless & Timely entries on the topic of reflection* Related Timeless & Timely entries on the topic of self-awareness* Episode 34: Take Charge of You with David NovakContactTo reach Scott to discuss a public speaking engagement or to talk about his executive coaching services, please get in touch here.
