Welcome, Leaders,
The external environments for your companies seems riskier and crazier every day.
More negative factors, dangers and risks seem to steal your time and your profits.
Political events, violence, weak unprotective leadership, out of control illegal unethical behavior, weak economies, and business-unfriendly policies are have reached the point of insanity.
These conditions frighten you and your employees, understandably so. Only those in
a fog of denial are not smart enough to be scared...they are choosing numbness.
Yet you still have the responsibility to lead your company and inspire greater results.
How do you circle the wagons, how do you give your employees a greater sense of protection and possibility for greater innovation and results amid the craziness?
Starting as an Economist before becoming a Behavioral Scientist and Change Leadership expert, I fell in love with Math, head over heels, at the University of Chicago. There was no going back...from then on, I always think mathematically.
Thus: Since the external environment is putting more negative factors into your company,
you need to balance this with more positive factors just to stay even, and then more positive factors to gain a net positive balance psychologically.
This is of course challenging but essential to master, a skill all leaders need to survive. This
does not mean whitewashing issues of course, but it does mean mastering seeking, creating, standing for, and commenting on positive factors in your company, with great skill, from the heart. Your job as leader is to make sure you and all the other leaders in your company have the skills and consistency to do this. This will be different in different firms, of course, one size does not fit all.
It is easy to get caught up in giving more attention to negative factors, but ignoring the need for positive factors to balance your firm's culture and psyche will work against you.
"When you forget the positive, you have lost control". Dr Linne's Power Quote
To be a truly powerful leader, you need to master the positive deeply and systematically. Only this creates a real-time collaborative culture unleashing the best talent and managing risks as quickly and effectively as possible. Employees don't speak up if they are afraid of their bosses. They speak up if their bosses see, appreciate and fully apply everyone's best.
Peace and prosperity to you all.

Chaos, Order, Power and Leadership
HI Everyone,
Wow, putting on my Economist and Leadership Power expert hats, I am watching the two steps forward one step back in the Power Shift from dictatorship to democracy ( my latest book, From Old Power to New Power--Which Leaders Will $urvive?)...tough going right now...vicious circle...poor economic growth opens the door for dictatorship which then weakens economic growth! Seeing it here and home and abroad...very sad...tough lessons to be learned in many countries.
But, hey, Egypt, how could you possibly think Mursi would be democratic? His pronouncement of his absolute power is in exact alignment with the beliefs of his party. This was obvious before your 2012 election. Hope this works out well for you there...would be good to have you as an ally again.
Here in the U.S., we see fruits not growing to ripeness:
-Our GDP was lowered by a huge 33 % from 2.4 to 1.8% for 2012, now the same as Russia.
-A poll reported 44% of Americans are worse off economically than a year ago.
-The markets dropped like a rock at the hint of "tapering" by the Fed.
-Top line revenue for corporate earnings has been nothing to write home about.
-Job formation 188,000 this week is only half of what we need to get back on track.
-Small business formation and job creation, usually creating 2/3 of our jobs, is at the lowest level in 30 yrs.
-I know many entrepreneurs with great products, technology and services who cannot get startup funding even in cities which are rebounding...not a good sign..in fact, a very bad sign.
On this 4th of July, my prayer for our great if beleaguered nation, is that our economy strengthens,
more jobs are created, our Constitution and spiritual foundation are honored again and the innovative
spirit of America flourishes in business once again!!
May you have a safe and happy Independence Day!
Peace and Prosperity,
Dr. Linne

European crisis and the markets rally??? Really?
HI All,
Watching Europe and the markets' irrational exuberance after Draghi's offer, then of course all the ongoing power struggles between ECB, national leaders and the people rioting...This is all about who has the power (see my book on Leaders and Power below), and the markets keep reacting as if one leader's pronouncement will fix things. But the EU was put in place without sufficiently clear agreements on consequences, so now they are in the midst of a power and money crisis, PLUS having to build the car as they drive, while their people are rioting. And the markets rise? Really? They did finally come down a little, and a few Wall Street commentators do see the real picture.
Any short term fix will not fix the underlying "cultural" (read, behavioral) situation.
The real issue is that socialism creates immature dependencies and that since it is not economically viable, the rude awakening felt by the people is a demand on them to grow up and become more independent and self-sufficient. Work. Pay taxes. Don't expect to retire at 50. The basics of growing up. Here we see that old Psychosocial Maturation Stages Model I mentioned before:
Interdependence Highest
Independence
Counterdependence
Dependence. Lowest
The riots are counterdependent, of course, the upset of being yanked out of dependency. Adolescent rebellion. Expect more. Tough to give up the gravy train! But so much tougher to keep it!
Remember my favorite joke going around in Economist circles: "The problem with socialism is that
you run out of other people's money!!"
As I said in my last post, Germany, the best and most capitalistic, is being punished, and the profligate countries are being rewarded. Any social system which punishes the best will fail, as the worst performers will bring it down. USSR, anyone?
Growing up is tough, but without it, no nation can survive.
I have the same fears about the U.S. Frightening!
Europe could not be giving the world a more graphic lesson in the failure of socialism.
I pray that our own leaders....and voters in the U.S....wake up and see this in time!!
Peace and Prosperity to you all,
Dr. Linne

Banks, Power and Chicanery-Rate Scandal
HI Everyone,
Hope all of you in the U.S. had a good Independence Day...now Interdependence Day as the world grows smaller.
Once again we see leaders using power in authoritarian non-transparent ways--manipulating the LIBOR rate on which so many transactions are based. Barclays, long respected British bank, has admitted it and several other banks are involved including U.S. Banks. How implicated is the Fed? Time will tell as the investigations proceed.
The misuse of power by "leaders" is at the root of all of these scandals, and reflects the surfacing of Old Power behavior no longer acceptable. Barclays, for Heaven's sake! Look for more such scandals to be unearthed. The Power Shift from Old to New Power, which I discuss at length in my book From Old Power to New Power – Which Leaders Will Survive? is at the crux of global change. Countries in which negative controlling unethical authoritarian power is allowed to persist will see weaker economies and reputations due to misuse of power.
Yes, this has been around forever. Yes, it has been a "privilege" of "leaders". But the world has changed.
Information is everywhere and democratized, raising the expectations of transparency and ethical behavior from those with power. Many leaders still behave as if they could control all in secret, but those days are over. Time to change and move into a more positive collaborative participative framework as my mentors, my generation of professionals and the newer generations of consultants teach...In business, unilateral power is over. Give it up. It is obsolete. Besides, New Power is more fun and much more profitable! Scandals are EXPENSIVE!
In politics, the power issues are being played out around the world. Egypt is in the grips of a battle between 2 Old Power factions, so they are in real trouble whichever one wins there. Freedom will be hardwon and delayed for them.....watch this going on in every dictatorship...China, Iran, Syria...in different ways...the Old Power model is being challenged. An amazing time and a compelling saga!
This underlies the huge mistrust of leaders now, by the way...standards have gone way up! Leaders, your required learning curve now is huge. If you do not learn the Power Shift skills and techniques, your career and company are at risk. Plain and simple.
Peace and prosperity to all of you.
Dr. Linne

Memorial Day and Leadership Power, Old and New!
HI,
On this Memorial Day I am grateful that we still have some freedoms in our great but beleaguered nation and grateful for all those who serve, have served and have given their lives for our heraldic country. I hope to see the day when war has become an obsolete function but as long as we have brutal dictatorships we have to be prepared to stand for freedom and democracy, as brutal dictators scoff at anything collaborative like negotiations...a very sad time now in the Power Shift from Old Power to New Power in the political realm. Ultimately the New Power will prevail but right now it surely looks like a step back doesn't it?
More progress is being made in business, as more employees expect positive collaborative power and will leave if not managed this way as soon as they can find another job. In early 2012 I saw on cnnmoney.com a study finding that 90% of employees would leave if they could find another job!! Scary indeed for companies.
Are leaders getting this?
Hope you are a great positive collaborative leader or that you work for one!!

How Leaders Use Power--The Power Shift and Appreciation
Greetings!
I am reflecting on how leaders are using power amidst this planet-wide Power Shift which is in a rocky phase to be sure. Understandable as it is the greatest challenge on the planet.
But on the good news side Old Power brutal dictators and authoritarian types are under criticism and demands for transparency as never before. The downside: Many still think they can get away with the old approach, whether in killing their citizens or in unilateral command and control approaches in civilian jobs where it is obsolete, or as the kids say, "So Over!".
After 30 years of working with these issues in client projects I am surprised that the Old Power approach is still tolerated in business.
Intriguing question: When the economies are strengthened and employees leave their jobs in huge numbers (90% would if they could find another job! cnnmoney.com), and leaders are then in shock at the loss of talent, what will happen? I just happen to have a few ideas about that, as I am fond of saying. One is about the Appreciative Quotient(R) of leaders, one powerful New Power metric...
Stay tuned.....
Best of fortune and success to you all,
Dr. Linne

New Tech Companies--Old Power Leadership
Hi Everyone,
The great upset about Facebook and privacy is causing an uproar, and rightly so.
The great upset about Facebook and privacy is causing an uproar, and rightly so.
Nothing online is private but I completely agree. No trust, no business!! Customers should have the
right to choose how much they want public vs. private!
right to choose how much they want public vs. private!
As an economist & leadership power expert, I have been disappointed to see that the heads of the big
tech. firms tend to unilateral power grabs over their customers while creating the image
of being cool and having young employees and open cultures. Microsoft started it of course, being the
800 lb. gorilla, had to be stopped by the govts in US & Europe. Still putting out half baked products
so customers are forced to assume the costs to make it right. Huge losses for small business owners
Amazon did that with requiring all its sellers to use their book printer, who wasn't that great; Google did it trying to put all authors books online for free without their consent and had to be stopped by lawsuits (always remember one of the founders is Russian!), Apple is trying to do it by censoring any apps by people who say anything negative--fair criticisms by professionals, not loony personal attacks--about the CEO.
Now Facebook. Amazing, these great companies with young founders using the same old authoritarian male model trying to control us as customers/sellers. Yawn. What part of It's America We Get the Freedom to Choose don't they understand? If they had great leadership they could do so much more. Just beware--and vote with your dollars! Customers hold power--be sure you use it well and wisely!
Is this a reflection of Obama's leadership style? Pretending to be collaborative positive New Power but really being authoritarian? Or are they like this anyway?
Is this a reflection of Obama's leadership style? Pretending to be collaborative positive New Power but really being authoritarian? Or are they like this anyway?
The weirdest thing to me: Inside the companies people love to work there, their ideas are
encouraged, you can work weird hours, dress way down. They hire the best and the brightest. They pay well.Google feeds you organic food, even! But they treat us customers like sheeple. Go figure. That
lack of integrity will always come back to bite them over time. For years Microsoft stock traded stuck
at 28 or below, now only up to 30 due to Windows 7. What goes around comes around.
And as I say in my trademarked positive leadership books, What You Say Is What You Get®
A positive collaborative leadership woman expert's work is never done......
Appreciatively,

What You Say Is What You Get(R)--Leadership Culture, Corporate Culture and Political Leaders
HI Everyone,
So sorry for my silence, Cox employee error disabled my internet forever, they had a hard time figuring out how to fix it. Techno-nightmare. But I am back and I have things to say!!
Leadership is the cause and cure of everything! Someone told me this--very powerful.
Implications and follow-up to my latest book, From Old Power to New Power--Which Leaders Will Survive? Please see below.
Leaders face the toughest challenge ever--right now!!
What do you think about corporate leaders' awareness of the lessons from the economy?
Other than the traditional layoffs and cost-cutting, do you think leaders understand
the real meaning? What types of corporate culture are leaders building now? How well is that working?
Right now smart leaders are nervous because the ground is shifting
under their feet. Do they know why? The underlying cause of all this difficulty, with real unemployment beyond 20%? Do you? No, it's not just the greed.
It's all about how power is used--the Power Shift from Old to New Power. Old Power, my way or the highway, is under siege in the U.S., in business, in politics, at home, at work. Everywhere.
What does this mean? What is New Power? Positive collaborative, and open and inclusive. Highly skilled, not armchair psychology. The only form of leadership the best talent and Gens. X/Y will tolerate.
This creates a huge challenge for leaders steeped in Old Power, like Bob Nardelli of Home Depot and Chrysler, as Old Power leaders will harm their careers and take down companies.
Yes, Wall Street firms and GM too, all Old Power firms. In trouble if still alive.
This Power Shift affects all leaders. Whether you like it or not, it marches on.
And now it is hitting politics. Bayh stepping down. Palin stepping up. Brown winning Kennedy's longtime seat, a New Power leader in his position and process. Both traditional parties are of course Old Power. Tea Party members criticize both parties. Voters resent the back room deals and the lack of focus on jobs. Guess what this is about?
Not bi-partisanship. Not Democrats, not Republicans. It is about the Power Shift from Old to New Power. People are demanding it. From both parties. Obama is not focused on what matters most--jobs--he did so too little to late. He decided-Old Power--that the agenda was health care. Upset many, as he campaigned under a New Power image, which is why he won.
Old Power used internally in New Power countries will always cause disruption and backlash. They may not know this framework but those no longer supporting Obama
are reacting to how his administration has used power in ways that has not helped.
Specifics? Stay tuned....more coming on leadership power, culture and style.
Best,
Dr Linne

So sorry for my silence, Cox employee error disabled my internet forever, they had a hard time figuring out how to fix it. Techno-nightmare. But I am back and I have things to say!!
Leadership is the cause and cure of everything! Someone told me this--very powerful.
Implications and follow-up to my latest book, From Old Power to New Power--Which Leaders Will Survive? Please see below.
Leaders face the toughest challenge ever--right now!!
What do you think about corporate leaders' awareness of the lessons from the economy?
Other than the traditional layoffs and cost-cutting, do you think leaders understand
the real meaning? What types of corporate culture are leaders building now? How well is that working?
Right now smart leaders are nervous because the ground is shifting
under their feet. Do they know why? The underlying cause of all this difficulty, with real unemployment beyond 20%? Do you? No, it's not just the greed.
It's all about how power is used--the Power Shift from Old to New Power. Old Power, my way or the highway, is under siege in the U.S., in business, in politics, at home, at work. Everywhere.
What does this mean? What is New Power? Positive collaborative, and open and inclusive. Highly skilled, not armchair psychology. The only form of leadership the best talent and Gens. X/Y will tolerate.
This creates a huge challenge for leaders steeped in Old Power, like Bob Nardelli of Home Depot and Chrysler, as Old Power leaders will harm their careers and take down companies.
Yes, Wall Street firms and GM too, all Old Power firms. In trouble if still alive.
This Power Shift affects all leaders. Whether you like it or not, it marches on.
And now it is hitting politics. Bayh stepping down. Palin stepping up. Brown winning Kennedy's longtime seat, a New Power leader in his position and process. Both traditional parties are of course Old Power. Tea Party members criticize both parties. Voters resent the back room deals and the lack of focus on jobs. Guess what this is about?
Not bi-partisanship. Not Democrats, not Republicans. It is about the Power Shift from Old to New Power. People are demanding it. From both parties. Obama is not focused on what matters most--jobs--he did so too little to late. He decided-Old Power--that the agenda was health care. Upset many, as he campaigned under a New Power image, which is why he won.
Old Power used internally in New Power countries will always cause disruption and backlash. They may not know this framework but those no longer supporting Obama
are reacting to how his administration has used power in ways that has not helped.
Specifics? Stay tuned....more coming on leadership power, culture and style.
Best,
Dr Linne
