Here’s a gem shared by Monte Pedersen about “Humble Leadership”.

Carl Jung once stated that "the meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances, if there is any reaction, both are transformed".??

And so it goes with all human relations.

If we choose to connect with and relate to others with the intention to make a friend, create an ally, or develop a compatible co-worker, we expand our network and grow our tribe.

None of this can happen without the ability to communicate openly and sincerely, in a way that demonstrates our humility and at the same time invites their interest.?

Leadership is a similar action because when we talk about ourselves we turn potential followers away. But when we talk about them, we create an army of followers who are just as committed to our success as they are to their own.?

Beyond listening to others (perhaps the most important skill), the words we use to communicate with others are critically important to how we are seen and whether trust gets built and respect begins to be acquired.

You get the idea. Human relations, as Jung shared, are about causing a reaction, a positive one. Something that could be the start of an outstanding personal relationship, a new partnership, or perhaps a breakthrough study or scientific achievement.?

The choice is ours. We can set the tone for any conversation by what we say and how we say it.?

There may not be a better course in human relations.?

Here’s another excerpt from Harvard Business Review about the “6 Leadership Skills”. This tip is adapted from “6 Essential Leadership Skills—and How to Develop Them,” by Rebecca Knight.

The way we work has changed, and so has leadership.?

As a manager, you need to evolve, too. In today’s fast-paced work environment, mastering these six essential skills will help you lead your team more effectively.

1. Emotional aperture

This is the ability to read your team’s emotional tone. Pay attention to unspoken cues—such as tensions, moods, and dynamics—and use that insight to guide your actions.

2. Adaptive communication

Adjust your communication style based on the situation and audience. Listen more, speak less, and build genuine connections by understanding how your employees prefer to be treated.

3. Flexible thinking

Great leaders excel at juggling competing priorities and holding opposing ideas at once. To become a more nimble, flexible leader, practice being open to new perspectives, understanding the broader context, and embracing ambiguity.

4. Perspective seeking

Consider the different viewpoints on your team. Actively listening to others, especially those with diverse experiences and perspectives, leads to more creative and thoughtful solutions.

5. Strategic disruption

Challenge the status quo. Encourage innovation by constantly questioning outdated practices and being open to continuous learning.

6. Resilient self-awareness

Know your limits, set healthy boundaries, and seek support when you need it. By practicing self-awareness and self-care, you’ll set a strong example for your team.
