From the Independent Business Blogs: 6/1/22 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 Ed Batista, Steve Keating, David Dye, Lolly Daskal, and Kevin Eikenberry.

From Ed Batista: The Warrior and the Sage

“In my practice I’ve observed a set of attitudes that leaders display while enacting these roles–what I’ve come to consider the Warrior and Sage mindsets:”

From Steve Keating: Problematic Problem Solving

“Effective problem solvers are comfortable with uncomfortable situations and circumstances. That allows them to solve a problem once and solve a problem permanently.”

From David Dye: Employee Complaints – 5 Questions to Ask

“Many managers wince at the mention of employee complaints. If you’re one of them, you might picture a chronic complainer who always has something negative to say. If so, I’d invite you to consider the opportunity these complaints give you. It’s not about making everyone happy. Rather, employee complaints give you a chance to listen deeply and either help people discover their capacity to solve problems or to address and resolve serious workplace issues.”

From Lolly Daskal: 4 Simple Ways To Keep Your Best Employees Longer

“In my work as an executive leadership coach, I emphasize four main areas in helping clients keep their best employees—and even recruit new ones:”

From Kevin Eikenberry: What Can’t Change in Times of Change

“Change is all around you. Likely you are working through, dealing with, and leading more than one change right now. As we face change and try to make change happen, we can’t lose sight of some keys to making it all work. And those keys aren’t about your change, but about human nature and how we adapt to and choose change. Let’s remember what can’t change in times of change… the humanity of it.”

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.

The 347 tips in my ebook can help you Become a Better Boss One Tip at a Time.
