The Extreme Leader’s Mantra

Steve Farber

It’s always true, but particularly in these challenging times, you have to find a way to fall in love with your life’s work; otherwise, your energy will wane, your voice will falter, and there will be nothing to prove but the fact that you’re taking up valuable space. And you certainly won’t be helping to develop and perpetuate the Extreme Leadership approach that our world so desperately needs right now.

Caution 2.0

SoCal CTO

Just saw this tweet fly by: Unfortunately, this CTO happens to be the CTO of a restaurant chain which was probably the reason that this was tweeted. But the point is pretty simple. As a CTO, you need to always remember that you are a bit on stage and people notice what you do even when you don’t realize it. It’s important to bring a bit of caution to things as simple as going to the bathroom.

Steve Farber

If you want your customers to love you (and you should, because if they’re just “satisfied&# you’ve lost the game), then take a lesson from your own romantic adventures.

Your Job/My Job

Steve Farber

Your job as an Extreme Leader is to help create a culture so vibrant and healthy that when people wake up in the morning and think about the imminent workday, they won’t be overcome with a sense of dread and won’t doubt whether or not they can survive the day. Instead, they should be filled with hope and the knowledge that they can bring themselves fully into their work and do something cool, something significant, something meaningful.

Of Leadership, Scars and Human Connection

Steve Farber

A leader lives under the microscope. I’m not saying it’s fair or just, but people watch everything the leader does. Everything. They watch the body language and facial expressions (Terry Starbucker wrote a great post about this) ; they listen to the tone of voice; they observe the decisions the leader makes; they listen to the leader’s questions and how they’re asked.
