One frequently requested show suggestion is, “How do I lead my team through bad news?” Lisa provides a firsthand account of one of her bad news situations. We hope it provides you with the encouragement you need to push forward.

“Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day-in and day-out.”            — Robert Collier

Every high-performing organization I’ve encountered embraces innovation and improvement. They find a way to execute their strategies better. Always better! 

The maxim is true:

“You’ll either find a way or make an excuse.” 

Great teams find a way forward. 

Be well. Do good. Grow great!

“What do I know? Who needs to know? Have I told them?”

Jim Mattis, Call Sign Chaos

NOTE: James Norman Mattis (born September 8, 1950) is an American veteran and former government official who served as the 26th United States Secretary of Defense from January 2017 through December 2018. A retired United States Marine Corps general, Mattis served in the Persian Gulf War, the War in Afghanistan, and the Iraq War.

Pay More Attention To High-Performers

Pay More Attention To High-Performers

As an executive/leadership coach, I hear clients devote an extraordinary amount of time sharing their experiences with low-performing team members. It makes sense. These people are responsible for considerable headaches to leaders. Today, I’m going to suggest leaders devote more time to the high-performers by embracing a few common components of high-performing organizations:

  • High Accountability
  • Proper Resource Allocation
  • High Trust
  • Constantly Improving High-Performing Culture

Mindful Leadership: Don't Over-Burden Your High-Performers

Mindful Leadership: Don’t Over-Burden Your High-Performers

High performers tend to take on more and more…because they have a high degree of willingness, they want more responsibility and we know they’ll get it done. Leaders must be mindful of over-burdening star players simply because we know they’ll “get it done.” Great leaders are highly aware of what their team members are going through and are committed to providing the necessary resources to help them achieve more.

Legacy. What will yours be?

Every great leader quickly recognizes people who make a difference in their lives. Maybe it was a school teacher. Or a sports coach. It may have been a parent or grandparent. Each of us is standing on the shoulders of somebody who came before us. Who will stand on your shoulders?
