Leadership

Leadership can be rewarding and challenging. Most leaders work hard to achieve individual and organizational goals. During times of change and uncertainty, it can be challenging to manage multiple priorities and increasing demands. Reactions can get in the way of meaningful action, often without even being aware of the impact.

Leaders want to do well but reactions can get in the way. Learning how to recognize and resolve reactions creates space for more meaningful action.

Faith in Leadership

by Cathy Caswell | 0

Our Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had a special, private meeting with Pope Francis yesterday. Listening to his interview following their conversation, it was evident that he was deeply moved by the personal, reflective discussion. I understand that there is a great deal of pressure and scrutiny on our leaders to say the right things and to have the right look. They need to be warm, friendly and authentic but not ‘too’ warm and friendly because that is not authentic. … Read More

Diversity. A leadership dilemma.

by Cathy Caswell | 0

Leaders assume important roles at all levels of our society. We rely on them to set the direction, focus the group and prevent things from becoming overwhelming. We expect a great deal of our leaders and often forget that everyone leads based on their own beliefs. And what each of us believes is different based on personal experiences and societal norms. My reactions are an indicator of the energy tied to my beliefs. We all react. In the reactive state, our energy is not available for productive, creative thought. Change and … Read More
