Cowardice takes a toll on effective leadership. It robs us of opportunities to perform better, to serve well and to make a positive difference. 

It’s hard, but necessary at times if we’re going to do the “right” thing. 

Join us today as we discuss courage, cowardice, competence and credibility. See if you can apply the conversation to your own leadership journey. Courage is contagious!

Be well. Do good. Grow great!

Self-Improvement For City Government Leaders

Self-Improvement For City Government Leaders

YouTube player

 

Two recent physical ailments provoked me to think about how I might improve a third problem. Honestly, had it not been for the first two I may have avoided getting too serious about figuring out the other one. 

Join me and Lisa today as we talk about self-awareness and self-improvement in our leadership and how it’s so easy to be (and remain) stuck. Most often we need some catalyst to provoke us to improve. 

Be well. Do good. Grow great!

Don't Let Distractions Kill Your Leadership

Don’t Let Distractions Kill Your Leadership

YouTube player

 

Shiny object syndrome.

Dogs (or cats) chasing laser pointers.

Running around like squirrels. 

Chasing our tails.

We use all kinds of language to describe being distracted. It’s increasingly easy to be distracted. Electronically. Physically. Emotionally. Mentally. 

What if we could discipline ourselves to limit the distractions? What if we were in better tune with ourselves and our team members so we could understand the damage caused by distraction? 

If everything is important, then nothing is important.

Great leadership requires great discipline, which includes establishing priorities. Some things must necessarily be more important than others. Let’s discuss the negative impact of distractions on high performance and see if we might get on the road to figuring out how we can improve.

Focus: Be Present

Focus: Be Present

YouTube player

 

Being present is becoming more challenging. Our meeting culture of jumping from one meeting to another contributes to the challenge. So does the Internet, social media and the iPhone. All of our lives are filled with distractions that beckon for our attention. 

Simon Sinek and many others have talked about how phones are negatively impacting our relationships. Not that we need experts telling us that. We see it in our own lives and in the lives all around us.

Back in 2018 Harvard published a blog post, “Dopamine, Smartphones & You: A battle for your time.”

The challenge for our focus (our attention) is real. The solution is equally real, and possible. Do not give up hope. Or delude yourself into thinking it’s just how life is. Battle it with intention and purpose. Battle it hard enough to win. Because it’s a winnable war. 

Be well. Do good. Grow great!

Is Your Best Skill Being Coachable?

High performers are the most coachable people on the planet. They’re driven to get better. Always improving. 

High performers want to shoulder high expectations. They crave the responsibility and accountability. 

They remain curious – wondering how they might get better. It never crosses their mind to stop learning because all of life is an exercise to figure it out. To solve the problem of how they might improve. 

There’s the never ending quest to make a bigger difference!

Where does being coachable rank in your list of skills or attributes? Consider making it a top skill in your life – and in your career.
