One of the most important aspects of all great leaders is their desire to continually learn and therefore, to grow. I recently came across this video published by leadership guru, John Maxwell about learning. I couldn’t agree with it more. Click here to watch the video. I love the phrase, “Learn, Earn, Return” But I don’t think it’s a cycle where we move from one stage to the next.

I work everyday to be a leader in my business. I develop a vision; get buy in for that vision from my team; give direction and measurable outcomes or expectations to my team members; I gather data from team members regarding how they’re doing in accomplishing their assigned outcomes and try to help them make adjustments as necessary. Seems kind of simple.

Spring is a time of rebirth and rejuvenation. Flowers and plants begin to bud after a (usually) long cold winter; America’s favorite past-time, baseball, begins; College students from around the country travel to warm weather and beaches to celebrate; Christian and Jewish faithful celebrate Easter and Passover. These are all signs of Spring to me.

Recently, I helped my client The Institute of Biomedical Science carry out a members’ survey. We were really pleased with the 25% response rate, and they are now looking at the feedback and preparing work plans. I thought it would be useful to share a few of the things we did, which I think helped to secure the good response rate: Gain Council/Board/Trustee buy-in – we were lucky that the Council were supportive of the project.
