I think the best leaders and the best contributors are competent. They understand their own intelligence, their own capability and what they bring, t… - Liz Wiseman

We are a leadership, research, and development firm so we care about our leadership, and our mission is to rid the world of bad bosses. We are trying to create workplaces where people want to go to work, where they love their boss, where they feel productive and utilized and contributing at their fullest. We are really about developing the kind of leadership where people can contribute fully and where work is actually joyful.”

I actually believe that when we are good at our jobs, I think that we begin to secretly resent our jobs,” says Liz. “But actually we are at our happiest when we have a job that’s like a size too big. Now, I don’t recommend people go out and get a job that is two sizes too big. It’s like getting that fit right.”

In the space of leadership, there is every platitude about how we should lead but I'm skeptical of those. So I dig and I look, 'where are the answers really found? What are the active ingredients? What are the things that really do move the needle?' versus 'what is great for a slideshow on this?'
