“Catapulting change requires meticulous leadership that is mindful of all those elements that are seemingly trivial to most but produce positive outcomes that hit us as hard as tsunamis. It’s the sort of leadership that empowers and engages people to move deep with themselves, and yet it mobilizes them with others in a manner that is coordinated, collaborative, and cohesive. These are fostered because leaders have the innate ability to make you feel that you are working “with” them not “for” them in such a way that motivates you to spring off the mattress each morning to make meaningful contributions because you feel valued, respected, empowered, and connected to an overarching goal.”
Albert Collu, Catapulting Change: Mindful Leadership To Launch Organizations and People

“Think about this. What would it take for you (or your staff) to move on from your current organization? Would you leave to feel valued, empowered, and largely left to your skills without being micromanaged but with the occasional “Hey, thanks for doing a great job!” from your manager? Organizational leaders: are you doing the little things to retain people? Are these attributes inherent and apparent in your organizational culture? If you are not asking yourselves these questions, you’d be wise to start doing so immediately. We should never underestimate how important it is for people to feel they are valued, respected, and heard. They want to know their voices matter and be met with a high level of responsiveness. All these needs rely on effective communication as the glue to bind them together.”
Albert Collu, Catapulting Change: Mindful Leadership To Launch Organizations and People

“Most people cannot define “good” or “bad” leadership, but they know and feel it when they encounter it.

My goal is to fully remove that smog and be an effective leader and a better person in all facets of my life. I remain an imperfect creature, but time and experience have allowed me to draw closer to a fuller understanding of effective leadership. Leaders, incidentally, understand and embrace that they, too, are imperfect creatures on a path toward self-improvement. Leaders selflessly employ an authentic approach that empowers and engages their colleagues, family, and friends in a manner that instills confidence and protects dignity. In fact, leaders often view this as a duty and a privilege.”
