Article 2, Article 3, Article 4, V-article 5,
Andy Scantland is a good friend of mine and an executive coach. Andy and I are partnering to produce a series of articles called The Vanquishing Evil Management Initiative!
Our goal is to call out harmful management & leadership practices that are damaging productivity and relationships; and to empower you with alternatives that will lead to happier and more productive teams.
Andy and I met a few years ago when he had been paired with me as a management coach. We found ourselves digging into the mindsets and mechanics that determined positive leadership outcomes vs negative. I shared many experiences from my time in emergency medicine, the government, and the security industry which he found interesting since most of his clientele are non-security people in Big Tech.
Every job and industry can be stressful, but few are as high stress & high consequence as Security & Healthcare - where the lives and well-being of people within your care are on the line daily. When failure means people may not see their families again, we don’t appreciate how extreme our views and reactions can become over time. We don’t see the unhealthy effects from prolonged exposure and the warped professional outlook they produce in the private sector.
In a very real way, we’re abusing each other - and we don’t see it.
What enables survival in one environment is causing anxiety and trauma in your office.
It’s time to revisit the leadership, management techniques that have been learned in the military, government, and other very highly competitive industries. Their lessons are valuable, but their tactical implementation often don’t belong in business.
So what will we explore?
- Mentally aligning with your role in different situations
- Powerful, effective and authentic communication
- Dealing with our own anxieties, fears and limiting beliefs
- Questioning and Analyzing our Beliefs & Values
- Gaining alignment with other business functions
- Showing up as the best versions of ourselves
- Building dynamic teams that enjoy their work
...and more
Andy and I want this to be a conversation. We hope you will be following this series, but we also hope you will comment and share your opinions and insights. We should all learn from each other to upgrade the way Leadership & Management is done in the Security Industry.

4 年Topic Proposal?: Empowering members of your team; their success is not a threat to your leadership, instead perhaps an opportunity to demonstrate your management skills. Sometimes leaders have a team with personnel who run at different speeds. Some run at a slower, stable pace, and get security done. Others want to run fast and do more. While it’s important to make sure they do not burn out or go too far, it is also important to let them run at their ability level. Don’t let the team resent the fast runner for taking initiative to propose a redesign of a system. Make sure the fast runner doesn’t think they are better than others. And (most important) do not think they are a threat to your position and try to stifle their energy.
