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.

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”.

Want to Learn More about the Plagiarizing Leader?
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 ‘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.

(E) Emotions: Constantly stay attuned to your emotional state.
