		<description><![CDATA[The Leader as Critic is one of the most toxic, idea-crushing characters you’ll ever find in the workplace. This individual mistakenly assumes that title confers a License to Kill (perceived bad ideas) and he/she takes pride in shooting down ideas to protect people and teams from themselves. Here are ideas to help you recognize whether you are the critic. And if you work for one, here are some coping strategies. <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://artpetty.com/2011/10/31/leadership-caffeine-if-you-want-to-be-a-critic-go-watch-a-movie/' addthis:title='Leadership Caffeine-If You Want to Be a Critic, Go Watch a Movie ' ><a href="//addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&#38;username=xa-4d2b47597ad291fb" class="addthis_button_compact">Share</a><span class="addthis_separator">&#124;</span><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Somewhere on the way to this world we now live and work in, “speed” became a proxy for success.  Speed is undoubtedly important, but beware relying on it as the sole indicator of effectiveness.  It’s a cruel tyrant, demanding fealty from followers, while discouraging critical and deep thinking and focusing solely on time-to-response as a metric of success. Here are at least 10 situations where you should resist the need for speed and call a timeout:<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://artpetty.com/2011/10/17/leadership-caffeine-speed-kills-10-situations-to-call-a-timeout/' addthis:title='Leadership Caffeine: Speed Kills-10 Situations to Call a Timeout ' ><a href="//addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&#38;username=xa-4d2b47597ad291fb" class="addthis_button_compact">Share</a><span class="addthis_separator">&#124;</span><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Context in this case is that not-so-secret ingredient that helps people understand the idea or issue and how it connects to something important in the workplace. Context provides the basis for understanding and assessing a situation or a request to do something. It has the equivalent workplace outcome of adding yeast to the process of making bread.  Without it, everything is flat. Improve performance by providing critical context at the organizational, strategic and personal levels.  <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://artpetty.com/2011/09/12/leadership-caffeine-always-lead-with-context/' addthis:title='Leadership Caffeine-Always Lead with Context ' ><a href="//addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&#38;username=xa-4d2b47597ad291fb" class="addthis_button_compact">Share</a><span class="addthis_separator">&#124;</span><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you work for a leader who practices what Goffee and Jones described in their HBR classic, “Why Should Anyone Be Led by You,” as Tough Empathy, you can expect to be on edge a good deal. Respond well to this demanding but respectful leader’s style, and instead of teetering precariously on the bleeding edge of survival, you will be reaching constantly for the high performance edge. Read this leader incorrectly however, and you might be setting yourself up for a miserable experience. <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://artpetty.com/2011/09/06/leadership-caffeine-surviving-and-thriving-under-the-tough-empathy-leader/' addthis:title='Leadership Caffeine-Surviving and Thriving Under the Tough Empathy Leader ' ><a href="//addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&#38;username=xa-4d2b47597ad291fb" class="addthis_button_compact">Share</a><span class="addthis_separator">&#124;</span><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Luck, while nice when she smiles on you, is a fickle and elusive relative. She rarely shows up at family events and when she does, it’s all about her.  She raises expectations of ridiculous things to insane levels, and then disappears after disappointing, without a word. 

Hope, is much more accessible than Luck, but in some regards, she is even more frustrating to deal with.  Hope is comfortable and comforting, providing us with possibilities, but most often leaving us disappointed.  What Hope doesn’t tell you is that she relies on her cousin, Luck, and of course we’ve already established that Luck is undependable. The quiet one in the crowd at this family reunion is Hard Work.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://artpetty.com/2011/08/22/leadership-caffeine-fun-at-the-cousins-reunion-with-luck-hope-and-hard-work/' addthis:title='Leadership Caffeine: Fun at the Cousin&#8217;s Reunion with Luck, Hope and Hard Work ' ><a href="//addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&#38;username=xa-4d2b47597ad291fb" class="addthis_button_compact">Share</a><span class="addthis_separator">&#124;</span><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You’re to be excused if you feel like you live in a world under siege. From wars and violence to natural disasters and man-made financial and governing catastrophes, these are most definitely challenging times.

Winston Churchill, the remarkable wartime leader of Great Britain, served as a source of strength and motivation for an entire nation with his dogged determination to survive and ultimately succeed in the face of incredible adversity.

Respect Deficit Disorder (RDD) has officially been added to a list of maladies that includes Two-Dimensional Leader Disease (2DLD) and Tired Leader Syndrome (TLS). In this era of runaway deficits, it seems that the need to treat others…especially those who work for and with us well..it has run away. <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://artpetty.com/2011/08/01/leadership-caffeine-respectfully-speaking-lets-cure-respect-deficit-disorder/' addthis:title='Leadership Caffeine: Respectfully Speaking, Let&#8217;s Cure Respect Deficit Disorder ' ><a href="//addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&#38;username=xa-4d2b47597ad291fb" class="addthis_button_compact">Share</a><span class="addthis_separator">&#124;</span><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a></div>]]></description>
