(Kirill Kudryavtsev/Getty Images) When you advance to a top leadership role, you, like an Olympic athlete, receive a torch that you must keep lit by protecting the previous leader's legacy while also finding the best ways to enhance and grow the business so you can pass that success onto the next leader, writes leadership expert Craig Johns. "Be grateful and say thank you for the opportunity and responsibility you've been given to lead a team, organization and an industry," Johns writes. Full Story: [The CEO Magazine]( (7/25) [LinkedIn]( [X]( [Facebook]( [Email]( [] Put it into practice: Leaving your leadership role may not always be your idea, but Johns recommends [passing the torch without bitterness or anger](. "Will you have the presence of mind to respect that the person to whom you're passing the torch will see the opportunity through a different lens?" We make work, work. You don't know what we do, but you'd know if we didn't do it. From automating order generation to AI-powered document processing, and everything in between.

"Once you see some positive progress, be sure to follow up with recognition programs that help folks feel valued," Lee writes. Full Story: [SmartBrief/Leadership]( (7/26) [LinkedIn]( [X]( [Facebook]( [Email]( [] Put it into practice: If you need clarification on the values and communication styles of the generations represented in your teams, [do some research by consulting Gallup polls and other studies that can shed light on your questions](, Lee recommends. "These insights can help you understand the experience of workers from generations other than your own and may be helpful when planning for a meeting." [] Smarter Communication [] [3 fears you must overcome to give good feedback]( Managers may avoid giving feedback to their direct reports because they believe it will take a long time, the message will be poorly received or they must deliver it perfectly in one meeting, writes communication and presentation skills coach Deborah Grayson Riegel. Planning a series of meetings and making it a dialogue instead of a monologue can help managers deliver the right nuance that's needed and update any feedback in a future meeting, Grayson Riegel notes. Full Story: [Harvard Business Review (tiered subscription model)]( (7/26) [LinkedIn]( [X]( [Facebook]( [Email]( [] Put it into practice: One way to get better at giving feedback is to [ask your team to provide you with feedback on your feedback](, Grayson Riegel writes. Ask them to share one or two things that you could do differently during feedback sessions and understand the power difference may temper how they respond so you may need to ask more than once to show them you want honest feedback on your feedback style.

"This approach not only enhances your productivity but also helps you maintain a healthier work-life balance," Finkel notes. Full Story: [Inc.

Raccoons will push away other animals to open a difficult latch or wait and push away another raccoon that has mastered a latch, and their problem-solving preferences offer insights into how they thrive in cities, according to a study published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences.

[LinkedIn]( [X]( [Facebook]( [Email]( [] About The Editor [] Candace Chellew Candace Chellew Chellew We've been watching a little bit of the Olympics over the weekend. Aside from the amazing (and controversial) opening ceremonies, what has struck me about the games is the sense of collegiality and sportsmanship that each of these athletes display. We watched the swimming competition Sunday night and watched France's Leon Marchand win the gold medal (and set a new Olympic record) in the men's 400-meter individual medley. After the win, both silver medalist Tomoyuki Matsushita from Japan and bronze medalist Carson Foster from the US congratulated their rival. The same thing happened in the women's 100-meter butterfly when USA's Torri Huske beat out teammate Gretchen Walsh by 0.04 seconds. The two women smiled and hugged one another, even though Walsh, a world record holder, missed out on setting a new record. Marchand broke the Olympic record for the 400-meter individual medley previously set by US Olympic champion Michael Phelps at the 2008 Beijing Games. Marchand had already broken Phelps' world record for the event last summer, and was awarded the medal for his effort by Phelps himself. This is one example of [how leaders can pass the torch to a new generation with dignity, respect and grace](. "Stepping out of something we love or have been part of for a long time can be very challenging. We want to let go, but it's difficult," writes leadership expert Craig Johns. "Our ability to trust the person receiving the torch and surrender our connection to it is critical." If this newsletter helps you, please tell your colleagues, friends or anyone who can benefit.
