Is Your Manager Stifling Work?

In the ever-evolving landscape of leadership, the most successful leaders know that true inspiration comes from within. However, many fall into the trap of draining behaviors that hinder their effectiveness. These habits not only sap their energy but also stifle the potential of their teams. Such are the habits of a Draining Leader.

The “Draining Leader Method”^TM is a philosophy concept used as a leadership coaching method by Lori Stith, The Stoicess. A Draining Leader embodies behaviors that stifle employee autonomy, inhibit innovation, provide inappropriate guidance, and are unsupportive of employee needs. The “Draining Leader Method” utilizes this philosophy framework to guide leaders away from leadership practices that exhaust the energy, vitality, and motivation of employees.

The “Draining Leader Method” was developed by Lori Stith, The Stoicess^® as a course for the Philosophy Leadership Coach^TM. Lori Stith uses the “Draining Leader Method” to coach against stifling leadership.

Does Your Manager Take Credit for Your Ideas?

In our fast-paced work culture, the dynamics of credit and recognition can be complex. Imagine pouring your heart and soul into an innovative idea at work, only to watch your manager take the spotlight for it. It’s a frustrating scenario many employees face, leaving them questioning their value and contributions. I refer to such a manager as the “Plagiarizing Leader”.

The P-L-A-G-I-A-R-I-Z-I-N-G Leader Method^TM (Used by Unethical Leaders)

(P) Pressure: Pressure to perform.
(L) Lack: Lack of innovation.

(I) Immense: Immense pressure to deliver results.
(N) Need: Personal Need for validation.
(G) Genuine: Genuine belief they substantially contributed.

The “Plagiarizing Leader” is a philosophy concept developed by Lori Stith and is used as a leadership coaching method in the context of Stoic-influenced leadership. The implication is that such unethical leadership behavior stands in contrast to the principles of Stoicism. Stoic philosophy’s emphasis on integrity and justice would condemn plagiarism as it violates these core values and harms others.

In essence, a “Plagiarizing Leader” embodies traits that are the antithesis of Stoicism’s ideal of virtuous leadership, which values honesty, fairness, and accountability. The “Plagiarizing Leader Method” utilizes this philosophy framework to guide leaders away from unethical leadership practices like plagiarism and toward a more virtuous and credible approach.

The ”Plagiarizing Leader”^TM is a philosophy concept coined by Lori Stith, The Stoicess^®. The “P-L-A-G-I-A-R-I-Z-I-N-G Leader Method”^TM, was developed by Lori Stith, The Stoicess^® as a course for the Philosophy Leadership Coach^TM. Lori Stith uses the “Plagiarizing Leader Method” to coach against unethical leadership.

Does Leading with Loyalty Still Work?

In a rapidly changing business landscape, traditional leadership approaches often fall short in nurturing loyalty between leaders and their employees. Enter stoicism, an ancient philosophy that emphasizes integrity. The practice of stoicism can be seamlessly integrated into modern management practices to foster needed loyalty, thereby inspiring employees to thrive amidst adversity. I call the practice, “Stoic Loyalty Leadership”.

The S-T-O-I-C  L-O-Y-A-L-T-Y Leadership Method^TM:

(S) Self-regulation: Regulate one’s reactions in challenging situations.
(T) Trustworthy: Trusted ally.
(O) Opportunistic: Provide opportunities for growth.
(I) Inspirational: Inspire teams to thrive amidst adversity.
(C) Cultivate: Cultivate an engaged workforce.

(L) Loyalty: Foster a loyal workforce.
(O) Open: Encourages open collaboration.
(Y) Yearning: Genuine yearning for the well-being of employees.
(A) Adherence: Adherence to ethical principles.
(L) Lasting: Drives lasting success.
(T) Thoughtful: Makes thoughtful decisions that align with the greater good.
(Y) Yielding: Yielding to the needs of others.

This approach is rooted in Stoic philosophy, which values virtues like wisdom, justice, courage, and temperance. The “Stoicess” is the title Lori Stith uses, signifying her role in promoting and applying these principles in leadership.

What’s Your ‘Balance Zone’?

The ‘Balance Zone’* refers to the harmonious alignment between professional responsibilities and personal well-being while on the job.

The ‘Balance Zone’ differs from work-life balance. Work-life balance typically refers to the amount of time you spend doing your job versus the amount of time you spend doing personal activities outside of the job.

The ‘Balance Zone’ refers to the amount of work being loaded on your plate while at the workplace. The phrases, “The more I do, the more I’m expected to do”, “They just keep piling it on”, or “My plate is overloaded, and they don’t care” come to mind.

The B-A-L-A-N-C-E Zone Method:
(B) Being: Protect your well-being.
(A) Align: Align your professional commitments with your personal needs.
(L) Long-term success: Maintain a workstyle that supports long-term success.
(A) Adjust: Focus on how your workload can be adjusted for a “win-win” outcome.
(N) “No”: Just say “No”.
(C) Compassion: Practice compassion for YOURSELF (self-compassion).
(E) Emotions: Constantly stay attuned to your emotional state.

The ‘Balance Zone’ , a philosophy concept, aligns with Stoic principles of managing what is within our control and accepting what is not.  Stoicism promotes mindfulness and mental well-being practices. The ‘Balance Zone’ method offers a practical application of these ideas in the workplace, focusing on managing professional life to protect personal well-being, reflecting the Stoic pursuit of virtue.

The term ‘Balance Zone’^TM in the context of Stoicism is a concept developed by Lori Stith, also known as The Stoicess®. as a course for the Philosophy Leadership Coach^TM. The B-A-L-A-N-C-E Zone Method^TM, developed by Lori Stith, The Stoicess^®, provides a framework for achieving this state. Lori Stith teaches the Balance Zone Method.

Is Your Manager A ‘Trusted Friend Leader’? (Are You Their Manager?)

“A Trusted Friend is THAT SOMEONE who is SO mad at you that they could care less if you live or die. However, when you’re literally choking to death and everyone else is watching you take your last breaths, THAT SOMEONE steps forward, performs the Heimlich maneuver, and saves your life.”
Lori Stith, The Stoicess**

** Think about Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10:25-37 keeping in mind the significant amount of hatred between Jews and Samaritans. That “Neighbor’” Jesus spoke of, is a “Trusted Friend”.

THE T-R-U-S-T-E-D  F-R-I-E-N-D Leader Method:

Lori Stith, The Stoicess^®, defines a “Trusted Friend” as someone who may not always agree with you or be outwardly affectionate, but who demonstrates a deep level of care and is willing to act decisively in your time of need.
