After spending several years of my life dedicated to helping motivated professionals in a variety of fields (product managers, project managers, technical professionals, non-profit professionals, marketers, first-time leaders) discover and develop as leaders and senior contributors, I recognized that I needed to find a platform that enabled me to reach more people faster and more efficiently and affordably than the horribly inefficient and expensive traditional training model. And I did not want to sacrifice the personal contact.

Leadership Caffeine™-Don’t Wait for the Title to Start Leading

By Art Petty|2024-08-08T13:41:50-05:00November 15th, 2009|1,770 Legacy Leadership Caffeine and Management Articles|

The time to start leading is now, long before anyone has bestowed the title of leader on you. Much like the famous trio of Scarecrow, Lion and Tin Woodman of Oz-fame, they didn’t really need the Wizard to bestow a brain, courage or a heart, and you don’t need someone to anoint you as a leader before you can start learning and practicing. The great news is that today’s organizations are filled with opportunities for you to easily and informally develop both your leadership and your followership skills.

Once More On the SoapBox: Strategy and the Leader

By Art Petty|2024-08-08T13:41:55-05:00November 4th, 2009|1,770 Legacy Leadership Caffeine and Management Articles|

There is no more mystical and in some cases mythical concept in all of business than the word, "Strategy." Perhaps because it has been long claimed by academics and expensive consultants and bandied about exclusively by executives in boardrooms, while everyone else waits for the CEO to come down from on high with the clay tablets and of course, clarity, firmly in hand. Here are some suggestions for beginning to take the myth out of strategy in your organization:

Leadership Caffeine™-Bringing Confidence Back

By Art Petty|2024-08-08T13:42:58-05:00November 2nd, 2009|1,770 Legacy Leadership Caffeine and Management Articles|

Confidence is a powerful force in the workplace for individuals and for teams. It’s that extra-added something that allows us to look at the world through eyes that see opportunities to pursue, challenges that exist to be met and new heights within easy reach. Unfortunately, given the beat-down that most of the world has been taking for the past year or two, confidence is in short supply in the workplace. It's time to bring confidence back.

Two Voices-Humility and the Effective Leader

By Art Petty|2024-08-08T13:42:59-05:00October 28th, 2009|1,770 Legacy Leadership Caffeine and Management Articles|

One of the true joys of my blogging experience comes from meeting and collaborating with some remarkable people. Mary Jo Asmus is one of those remarkable people. We collaborated a few months ago on Two Voices on: The Words of a Leader, and enjoyed the experience and the reactions so much that we vowed to do it again. Well, we're back. Mary Jo reached out to me a few weeks ago and raised the topic of "Humility and the Leader," and we were both so interested in exploring this issue that we went off to our separate corners and the output is reflected in the two posts below. While the posts don't necessarily reflect a point-counterpoint perspective, they do bring two unique perspectives to what turned out to be a challenging issue.

Leadership Caffeine™-Engage With a Purpose

By Art Petty|2024-08-08T13:43:00-05:00October 26th, 2009|1,770 Legacy Leadership Caffeine and Management Articles|

A fair number of leaders that I encounter are busy floating along on the current created by the urgent daily events in the workplace. This never-ending flow of “stuff to do” numbs their leadership senses and dulls their performance edges as weeks and months and quarters give way to more weeks, months and quarters. It’s like sitting in the leadership equivalent of a lazy river at the local water park. It’s time to quit doing everything and getting nothing important done in the process.

Leading in the Trenches-So You’ve Always Wanted to Teach a Class!

By Art Petty|2024-08-08T13:43:03-05:00October 21st, 2009|1,770 Legacy Leadership Caffeine and Management Articles|

As regular readers know, I’m kind of an education junkie, both as a receiver and as a giver. I spend my days developing and delivering leadership and marketing training programs and coaching individuals and groups, and I spend as many evenings as possible in front of a class somewhere, working hard to learn what it means to become an effective educator. I have not found the magic formula yet, but as I embark this evening on teaching an 8-week course on Global Business to a group of motivated professionals, it helps to review my basic approach to developing a great class. Additional advice welcomed and encouraged!

Two-Dimensional Leader Disease

By Art Petty|2024-08-08T13:43:10-05:00October 8th, 2009|1,770 Legacy Leadership Caffeine and Management Articles|

Just when you think you can’t take on one more concern, you’ve heard about two new illnesses from the Center for Leadership Disease Control here at Management Excellence. A few weeks ago, you were shocked to learn of the longstanding but freshly named malady, Tired Leader Syndrome. Adding fuel to the fire was the recent announcement here at the Center for Leadership Disease and Control at Management Excellence, that researchers have finally isolated the causes of a long-standing leadership wasting disease. This heretofore unnamed but common set of symptoms is now called Two-Dimensional Leadership Disease or TDLD for short.

By Art Petty|2024-08-08T13:43:19-05:00September 23rd, 2009|1,770 Legacy Leadership Caffeine and Management Articles|

Note from Art: Today's post is from Jeff Hornstein, a Speaking Coach and someone passionate about helping individuals and teams develop their critical presentation skills. I invited Jeff to share his thoughts and ideas on "Executive Presence" and he was kind enough to contribute this post and his wonderfully useful pdf guidebook, "Communicating Credibility."

Leadership Caffeine™-Respectfully Speaking, Your Respect for Others Will Serve You Well

By Art Petty|2024-08-08T13:43:26-05:00September 8th, 2009|1,770 Legacy Leadership Caffeine and Management Articles|

The formula is simple and the outcome is predictable. Treat people with respect and they will generally return the courtesy many times over. The word “respect” just might work as the lone word in the world’s shortest chapter in the world’s shortest and most effective book on leadership. Master the term, practice it liberally and you’ve uncovered one of the simple secrets to leading effectively.
