Leading a Team of Rivals
by
Peter J. Dean, Ph.D.
Much has been made recently about the term "team of rivals," which is the title of Doris Kearns Goodwin's best-selling biography of Abraham Lincoln, and describes Lincoln's selection of different-minded individuals, many of them former political opponents, for his cabinet. When questioned about his selections of such an opinionated group to be his primary advisers, President Barak Obama responded, "I will ultimately make the decisions, but I want to hear all points of view."

 Coach's Corner
Sharing in the Workplace - How Much is Too Much?
By Stephanie Callison, Ph.D.
Senior Consultant, The Leader's Edge/Leaders By Design
A woman executive I work with tries hard to keep her personal life out of the male-dominated office, and fears the consequences of disclosing too much. She worries that her male peers will not relate to stories about her young daughter, so she positions the one family photo in her office so only she can see it. She worries that if she reveals details of her daily schedule, which includes drop-offs and pick-ups at day care, it may signal to others that she has too much on her plate and can't handle her job. Yet, all of this deception makes her unhappy and she often feels like she is not being true to herself in an effort to fit in. > Full Text
