There are two basic types of leadership: Positional (it's in your job description to lead others) and Influential (you are leading by influence rather than job title). I talk about why influential leadership is so important, the characteristics of an influential leader, and nine strategies for leading with influence rather than authority.

I have a guest for this episode! Bob Tiede talks with me about how asking great questions can increase your effectiveness as a leader.

My guest this week is Robert Jordan, and we’re talking about the four leadership styles his team has identified. Robert shares how to make sure you land in a “leadership match” position – and how best to leverage your leadership style once you are in your new role.

This week, my guest is Sonja Price. Our parents and grandparents often worked for the same company their entire career – many times, even in the same position. This model doesn’t serve most of us today, and there are financial, developmental, and other reasons to change jobs every few years. Sonja Price and I talk about how to create short- and long-term career goals that will serve as our guideposts for making decisions about career changes, when to look inside your organization and when to look outside, and the indications that it is time to leave your current job.

Today, my guest is Heather Younger, author of The Art of Caring Leadership. In this episode, Heather and I talk about the six areas of self-leadership from her book and why it is so important to lead yourself before you can effectively lead others.

Today my guest is Ed Evarts, author of “Driving Your Career.” We talk about ways to take responsibility for your own career success.
