'By Grant Wattie. President, N2Growth Australia. There is a new definition of leadership in our lexicon. The seagull leader is someone who flies in, s**t’s over everything, and leaves. I’m constantly amazed when working inside organizations that the names and examples of such people come up constantly in the conversation. Yet rather than being weeded out, they seem to survive and thrive in an institutional ethic that values by choosing short term greed over longer-term value and culture.

'It wasn’t hard to like Sarah Young as soon as we walked into her downtown store back in 2010, when we first moved to Portland. It was a welcoming place, full of what I’d soon know as “super cute” women’s clothing and accessories from independent makers from Portland and around the world.

'Credibility is hard to establish and even easier to lose. The sad truth is I’ve seen really good leaders lose the confidence and credibility of their teams by making well-intentioned and innocent mistakes. I’m not talking about the big stuff like lack of follow-through or breaking commitments, but the subtle shifts that undermine all the trust you’re working to build.

'Do you lead like a rich person? –Or—. Do you lead like a poor person? An Afghan Air Force General asked recently through his translator…. Do you lead like a rich person or a poor person?

'“Why aren’t you satisfied? We hit the target you set. You raised it. We hit it again. Isn’t that enough? Why do you have to keep raising the bar? Is there no end to this?” I used to get this a lot in the workplace. I never liked hearing it. But I never gave any quarter to it either.

'By Bob Gourley. Students of history know what happens when adversaries learn how the good guys collect intelligence on them. They change their tactics, techniques or procedures and it gets much harder to know their intentions. Most of us knew this is what would happen with the disclosures by Edward Snowden.
