Great Leaders Can Make It Simple

Great Leaders Can Make It Simple

People love to use business or industry jargon. And many of us enjoy hearing ourselves. Is it helpful in stating and solving problems? Does it help us seize opportunities better?

Simplify Your Way To Better Solutions – putting in the work to be succinct in stating a problem clearly in the simplest terms to get to the crux of the matter

But we have a long, laborious story that we think is needed so folks can understand. We couch it as “context.”

Few things can propel us forward in our leadership journey as much as our ability to simplify things and get to the heart of things.

Be well. Do good. Grow great!

I May Quit, But Not Today

Lisa texted me the following anonymous quote:

No matter what knocks you down in life, get back up and keep going. Never give up. Great blessings are a result of great perservance.

I was born in Oklahoma, historically Indian territory. I can’t remember when I first heard the story of how buffalo react to thunderstorms, a frequent Oklahoma event. We recorded a show about being a buffalo, which means having the grit, courage, and determination to weather the storms of adversity.

Today, we felt the urge to encourage you to hang in there, control what you can and not obsess about what you can’t.

We'll Sleep When We're Dead

We’ll Sleep When We’re Dead

I’m a lifelong insomniac who doesn’t require much sleep. Occasionally I go on spurts of sleeping even less (which normally results in sleeping 12 hours at some point in the future). Lisa knows this about me, recently prompting her to ask, “Have you been getting sleep?”

I responded sarcastically with the title used for today’s show.  “We’ll sleep when we’re dead.”

Everybody is busy. We’re all running around like chickens with our heads cut off. There doesn’t appear to be a slowdown coming for our workload any time soon. So as most of us say, “It is what it is.”

Let’s talk about the grind, work/life balance, and other honest truths about building ourselves into better leaders and better people.

Be well. Do good. Grow great!

Leaders Go First By Putting Themselves Last

Today we discuss the damage done by bosses who throw their own team members under the bus. The Holy Grail of leadership is a person’s ability (and willingness) to assemble a team, train a team, grow and develop a team to high performance standards consistently. That requires trust. Which requires self-sacrifice and a commitment to do the right thing.

A wise man speaks because he has something to say, a fool speaks because he has to say something.

Listening has a direct correlation with leadership.

Twist & Shout Your Way To Growth

Twist & Shout Your Way To Growth

“Shake it up, baby. Twist and shout.”

Sometimes our lives have to be completely shaken up, changed and rearranged to relocate us to the place we’re meant to be.

Most often our changes – which includes our growth and improvement – result from some shake up in our life. If we respond well, these shake up’s can help us reach new heights in our performance and leadership. How can we leverage the challenges in our life – and how can we intentionally shake things up so we’re always improving? That’s today’s conversation. Enjoy.
