From the Independent Business Blogs: 7/31/19

  |   Leadership Reading Print Friendly and PDF

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 LaRae Quy, Lolly Daskal, Alli Polin, Kate Nasser, and Steve Keating.

From LaRae Quy: 5 Effective Ways To Overcome Setbacks In Life

“We’ve all started over in a different environment, lost a job, or had a relationship fail. We grapple for a lifeline as we struggle to overcome these setbacks. We feel the tug of war between a cerebral brain that thinks its way through problems and an emotional limbic brain system that feels its way around.”

From Lolly Daskal: How to Be A Leader Who Gets Results

“As a leadership coach, I work with leaders around the world, and the best of them understand the most effective ways to build results-oriented leadership:.”

From Alli Polin: 10 Ways a Break Makes You a Better Leader and Better Human

“He was bragging, of course, proud that he used next to nothing from his vacation balance and excited to get the payout for the unused hours at the end of the year. My question was confronting, and for a half of a second, I felt bad for asking it.”

From Kate Nasser: Respect Feelings & Views to Overcome Bias

“Do you respect feelings & views of others even when they seem odd or opposite yours? Are you prone to talking about how weird they are? When you have much to say about lives you never lived, you show and reinforce your bias toward your own views. Turn that around! Respect feelings of others and you can overcome your bias.”

From Steve Keating: Second Thoughts

“Having a doubt in your mind doesn’t mean you’re a doubter. It means you have the mental capacity to re-think something. Many times a second thought will sharpen your decision, not change it.”

That’s it for this week’s selections from independent business blogs. If you liked this piece you may enjoy my curation posts on this blog. Every Tuesday, “Leaders and Strategies in Real Life” helps you learn about leadership by studying what real leaders do. On Fridays you can wrap up your week with “Weekend Leadership Reading” consisting of choice articles on hot leadership topics culled from the business schools, the business press and major consulting firms.

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. At the The 360 Degree Feedback blog, I join other bloggers with posts on leadership development. And, at Wally Bock’s Writing Edge, I share tools and insights to help you write better.
