Tom on Leadership  

Part of our Habits of Leadership series. What does "courage" mean for a leader? What does it look like, why is it important, and how can I develop more of it? Guests include leadership expert Perry Gruber of www.perrygruber.com, and Prafulla Pande of www.pandeassociates.com.

Everyone knows what Leadership means... until we try to define it. Elusive as the definition may be, intuitively we know when it's present, and when it is not. We explore definitions and experiences of Leadership with call-in guests including Stephen Balzac, a consultant, professional speaker, and president of 7 Steps Ahead (www.7stepsahead.com), and Matt Edelman, CEO of PeopleJam.com.

According to new research from the Harvard Business Review, the wrong praise at the wrong time can harm workplace performance. We'll talk about all the forms of feedback you can give your coworkers and employees, and how to best use praise.
