Background on This People Skills Leadership Chat
Business leaders, is our definition of great leadership still tied to the tough guy image? Many say that leadership has evolved over the decades as the economy expanded from assembly lines to the information and technology age. Yet I see vestiges of the gotta be tough with others mentality in many leaders. It makes me ask the question, is it still a (hidden) part of the definition of great leadership? Have leaders absorbed this and made it part of their identity?
Join us Sunday March 30, 2014, 10am EDT in #peopleskills Twitter chat to explore leadership people skills – the tough guy image. My co-host will be Chantal Bechervaise, Human Resources specialist with endless passion for learning. Chantal is also a moderator of the Google+ people skills community.

People Skills Leadership Chat: Losing Tough Guy Image
As businesses embrace a new generation of workers, as they require more employee engagement to truly succeed, exploring people skills leadership issues is critical.
Join us in global people skills Twitter chat (#Peopleskills) this Sunday March 30th at 10am EDT to explore it. Some questions to get us thinking in advance:
- What is your definition of great leadership?
- How does toughness play into the definition? Internal strength or external roughness?
- Where if at all do you see vestiges of the tough guy leadership image?
- How has the tough guy image impacted women and mentoring women leaders?
- Do you want leaders to show humility, humanity or ___________?
- Can a humble leader be a great leader? Why do many people say no?
- Emotions: What role do they play in great leadership?
- Would you be comfortable with a leader who shows emotion during a crisis?
- What’s the difference between a strong leader and a tough leader?
These are just some questions to get us thinking before we begin. Actual questions will post live during the chat.
