Loosening Without Losing Control
August 26, 2011
Discipline is helping a child solve a problem. Punishment is making a child suffer for having a problem. To raise problem solvers, focus on solutions, not retribution.

"In the old world of silos and solo players, leaders had access to everything they needed under one roof, and a command-and-control style served them well. But things have changed: The world has become much more interconnected, and if executives don't know how to tap into the power of those connections, they'll be left behind.
"Leaders today must be able to harness ideas, people and resources from across boundaries of all kinds. That requires reinventing their talent strategies and building strong connections both inside and outside their organizations. To get all the disparate players to work together effectively, they also need to know when to wield influence rather than authority to move things forward, and when to halt unproductive discussions, squash politicking, and make final calls.
"Differences in convictions, cultural values, and operating norms inevitably add complexity to collaborative efforts. But they also make them richer, more innovative, and more valuable. Getting that value is the heart of collaborative leadership."
Exchange has packaged six of its leadership resources into a single "Leadership Tool Kit" and is offering the entire set at a 25% discount — separately these resources would cost $156.90, but we are offering the entire Leadership Tool Kit for only $118.

- Leading People in Early Childhood Settings CD Book
- Learning to Lead: Effective Leadership Skills for Teachers of Young Children
- Targeted Leadership — Building a Team That Hits the Mark
