In the seven years I’ve been writing and talking about my concepts and lessons of personal leadership, I’ve often been asked, “What does it take to be a great leader?” That’s a BIG question, isn’t it? So big that there are thousands and thousands of books, articles, posts, podcasts, videos, and e-books that have tried to tackle it.

By Mike Myatt , Chief Strategy Officer, N2growth. Choice ; it’s a simple, yet critical aspect of leadership. Academics and business theorists often gloss over the basics of leadership preferring to trivialize their importance. It’s far too easy for those with an elitist approach to leadership to dismiss simple as sophomoric, and obvious as irrelevant – nothing could be further from reality.

I was just asked about a particular startup situation (seed stage, CMO hire, non-founder) and particularly what compensation and equity is appropriate. I know a lot more about CTOs specifically CTO Salary and Equity Trends 2009-2011 , Visualization of Startup CTO Equity and Salary Data , Startup CTO Salary and Equity Data , but I've previously written about the issues with Equity for Early Employees in Early Stage Startups.

What children’s books are the most helpful in teaching leadership to kids? I posed this question in my online leadership communities, as well as to parents, and a children’s librarian. The suggestions came pouring in. So many of us have fond memories of reading as a child and of reading with our own children.

There’s a foundation to successful business execution that is undeniably critical – the workplace culture. Bad cultures can’t execute very well. Period. You might even say that they are doomed to failure, rich in dysfunction, seeped in mistrust, and (most often) guided by fear. Leaders have to face the culture building challenge straight on, and almost always in situations where the “nuts and bolts” side of the business still demands a majority of their time.

One of the recommendations I make all the time to startup founders, is to find other founders who have tackled similar problems as yours and talk to them about how they solved these problems. As an example, I'm working with two sets of founders who are both going to be dealing with Getting Started with a Two-Sided Market Business - they are variants of two sided markets, but have similar characteristics.

Over the past couple of years, I've been in one yoga class or another five or six days a week on average. That might sound like a lot, but it's pretty much the only form of exercise I do anymore so it's a good way for me to keep the lights on. As I've written here several times, I've made a number of connections between what I learn on the yoga mat and leadership development in general.

“Wow, they would walk through a brick wall for that guy!” I’ve heard this sentence a few times in my career, spoken about great leaders I have known and respected. I’ve even uttered it myself on a couple of occasions. It’s one of the highest complements a leader can get, because of its underlying connotation – that person is an uppercase LEADER.

By their very nature, organizational change initiatives tend to occur while everyone is also busy keeping the business running. Often, change agents themselves are responsible for other important activities while also implementing their initiatives. It’s hard enough to get other people to make time for working on the change initiative, but what if you are having a hard time squeezing it in yourself?

If today’s great leader is known for their humanity and heart, it figures that a big potential weakness for that kind of leader is showing a little TOO much heart. That is, keeping someone as part of the team when it’s clear that they don’t belong. Showing a little compassion is surely a good thing when someone is struggling, because it can be for a wide-variety of reasons, some of which can be corrected.

I tend to make a major distinction between those people in an organization who influence change without authority – change agents – and those who influence change with authority – leaders. And, when I coach change agents , much of our time is focused on influencing leaders to do what they need to do to support the change initiative.
