From the Independent Business Blogs: 6/22/22 post image

Independent business blogs are blogs that aren’t supported by an organization like a magazine, newspaper, company, or business school. Those people provide lots of great content, but they don’t need any additional exposure. In this post, every week, I bring you posts of quality from excellent bloggers that don’t get as much publicity.

This week, I’m pointing you to posts by Kate Nasser, Steve Keating, Lolly Daskal, Scott Eblin, and Suzi McAlpine.

From Kate Nasser: Leadership Reset: Replace These Easy Feelings That Cause Trouble

“When leaders fall into the trap of wanting everything to be easy, it’s time for a leadership reset. Easy feels good now yet it often creates new trouble. Here are the easy feelings that you will regret later.”

From Steve Keating: You’ll Never Know Unless…

“Twenty years ago my wife, Vicki, and I lost 9 immediate family members in a 6 week period. We each lost a parent along with aunts and uncles. It got to the point we were almost terrified to answer the phone. Vicki’s mom was in Hospice Care for a short time and we went to visit everyday. She was in a wonderful place and they allowed us to bring our dog Amanda in with us. Amanda was a huge hit with all the residents. “

From Lolly Daskal: How The Best Leaders Take Charge Of Their Emotions

“Emotions play a critical role in leadership, especially in influencing and engaging with others. It’s important to reflect on the ways you experience emotion and how it affects your behavior. When you take charge of your emotions, they can’t take charge of you.”

From Scott Eblin: Is Your Approach Parent-Child Management or Adult-to-Adult Leadership?

“Years ago, when I was a rising leader in corporate-land, I worked for a company president who regularly asked a thought-provoking question, ‘Are we engaging in an adult-to-adult conversation or a parent-child conversation?'”

From Suzi McAlpine: Four questions to ask yourself when faced with a big decision

“Below are some of the questions we used in his coaching session and that helped him find a way forward. I’ve also used these questions on myself when I’m facing a big decision, and they’ve been super helpful for me too. And now, I’ve decided to share them with you in this week’s post of The Leader’s Digest. You may not be facing a decision as big as my client but, as a leader, you must make decisions every day. It’s a skill worth working on.”

How I Select Posts for this Midweek Review

The five posts I select to share in my Midweek Review of the Independent Business Blogs are picked from a regular review of about sixty blogs I check daily and an additional twenty-five or so that I check occasionally. Here’s how I select the posts you see in this review.

They must be published within the previous week.

They must support the purpose of the blog: to help leaders at all levels do a better job and lead a better life.

They must be from an independent business blog.

As a general rule, I only select posts that stand on their own, no selections from a series.

Also as a general rule, I do not select posts that are either a book review or a book report.

I reserve the right to make exceptions to the above.

Here, on Three Star Leadership, I post things that will help a boss at any level do a better job and live a better life. And, at my blog for part-time business book authors, I share tools and insights to help you write and publish a book you’ll be proud of.
