"A Crisis is a Terrible Thing to Waste." 7 Questions You Should Ask

Dave and Wendy Ulrich
Dave and Wendy Ulrich
Dave and Wendy Ulrich believe the "soft skills" are really the "hard skills" leaders must embrace to attract and retain top talent to their organizations. In their new book, The Why of Work, How Great Leaders Build Abundant Organizations That Win (Amazon affiliate link), they challenge management with the following question:

"Before you ask, “What do my employees put into their work?”… ask yourself, “What do they get out of it?

The Ulrich's concepts in The Why of Work are organized within a framework of seven questions:
1. What am I known for?
2. Where am I going?
3. Whom do I travel with?
4. How do I build a positive work environment?
5. What challenges interest me?
6. How do I respond to disposability and change?
7. What delights me?

Welcome to a special Leadership Channel podcast on TotalPicture Radio brought to you by Taleo. This is  Peter Clayton reporting. I met Dave Ulrich at the HCI National Summit in Tucson this spring, where he delivered an engaging (and completely revised overnight, I might add), keynote presentation. He told the audience the new talent metaphor was "The Marshall Plan."

Online Influence and Leadership: Keywords and Surprises Galore!

"To maintain and build high performance organizations you must focus on three core ideas: reduce ambiguity, be fair and stay positive." Dr. Todd Dewett

Welcome to a special Leadership Channel podcast on TotalPicture Radio. Joining us today is Dr. Todd Dewett: professor, author, leadership expert, trainer, consultant, professional speaker, caffeine addict and Harley Davidson nut. Todd partnered with John Sumser at HRExaminer to create the recent Top 25 Online Influencers in Leadership -- if you’ve been following the podcasts here on TotalPicture Radio, you’ve probably heard the interview we recorded with John last week, and with Derek Skaletsky from Traackr, the company that generated the report based on the keywords Dr. Dewett suggested they use to develop this list. -- (You’ll find the complete list of keywords used in the top 25 list on Todd’s feature page here on TPR. Click Read More.)

"Leadership is about supporting and building employee morale and productivity. Ultimately, these explain organizational success. Each year we see hundreds of new leadership-related books and thousands of leadership-related articles. But how much of what is new is really new? After reading most of it, I have concluded that there are a small number of things going on that explain the essence of leadership. In fact, all of the thousands of leadership ideas, tricks and tactics that have been discussed really boil down to three simple rules. To maintain and build high performance organizations you must focus on three core ideas: reduce ambiguity, be fair and stay positive."

Dr. Todd Dewett, a professor at Wright State University agreed to partner with with Mr. Sumser on this project. Dr. Dewett specializes in leadership and organizational effectiveness. HRExaminer asked him to help tailor the algorithm they used to crawl the web to figure out who matters on the topic of leadership.
