I encourage those who hold back, to find some way of comfortably revealing enough about themselves to begin to create the bonds and relationships that are important to effective leadership.<BR/><BR/>However, damage can be done by those who reveal too much about their personal lives. "Too much information", in this case, can undermine the leader's efforts to influence or motivate others - there are many who don't want to know the intimate details of leader's personal life. There is a line that can be crossed in the type of information a leader reveals, so some must learn what is appropriate and what needs filtering.<BR/><BR/>You can check out another aspect of leadership balance on my blog at http://aspiretolead.blogspot.com/2008/07/leadership-in-balance.htmlMary Jo Asmus, President, Aspire Collaborative Services LLChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01695785421699290358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20242261.post-84378418754211979882008-08-02T09:58:00.000-07:002008-08-02T09:58:00.000-07:00Thanks for this post, it was great!<BR/><BR/>http://hrmanager.squarespace.com/journal/2008/8/2/leadership-balance.html<BR/><BR/>LisaLisahttp://hrmanager.squarespace.comnoreply@blogger.com
