video: How to Avoid Leadership

Yesterday I got a last minute opportunity to speak to a local group on the topic of
leadership. And so I decided to try something different.

Instead of saying what I believe is true about being a good leader, I set up the talk so that I said the opposite of what I believe works. And thus the premise of "how to avoid getting put into a leadership position."

It was a fun talk to give, and the audience enjoyed it. I think what makes a paradoxical talk work is that it helps people relax, focus, and see themselves in my tips on what to NOT do.

If you are working to develop your leadership skills, watch the video and consider if you are currently using any of these "tips."
