What do you do with a team leader or team member who is undermining the work and the culture? While you’re working hard to set sail for fast smooth, waters they’re behind your back (usually) drilling holes in the hull of the boat. 

Today’s show was largely sparked by two quotes. 

“Make sure everybody in your boat is rowing and not drilling holes when you’re not looking. Know your circle.”

And…

“Be careful who you let on your ship, because some people will sink the whole ship just because they can’t be captain.”

Every leader has or will experience saboteurs. It’s urgent that we find ways to quickly identify them, give them a short-period of time to stop their destructive behavior and get them on board or off our boat. 

Check out the work of my buddy, Leo Bottary. He co-authored the book, The Power of Peers. And he wrote two other books, What Anyone Can Do and Peernovation. Leo’s work is intensely focused on the power of who surrounds us. It’s a big part of the last sentence of that first quote, “Know your circle.”

Be well. Do good. Grow great!

Today we’re joined by Grand Prairie Chief of Police Daniel Scesney. Daniel (he prefers to not be called ‘Chief’) has an extensive background in police work and leadership. A former Marine, Daniel spent years in police investigative work, including major crimes. He was promoted from being a police sergeant to assistant chief, something his peers mocked him for even attempting. 😉 

We talk about influencing our teams, our peers, our superiors, our “customers” and even our detractors. You’re going to enjoy getting to know more about Daniel and his leadership journey. Daniel also teaches a semester of a graduate course on Leadership Executive Administrative Development (LEAD) at Texas Christian University (his alma mater for his master’s degree – Go Frogs!).

Today’s discussion isn’t about telling the world to shove off (or something even less polite). It’s about leaning into becoming the best version of YOU. 

Comparing ourselves to others is a fool’s game, but wildly popular. Wishing we were like somebody else or wishing we were somebody different isn’t the ideal path forward. Instead, it’s time to dive more deeply into pursuing insights into our own self-awareness. If we can harness that, and get good with it, then we can begin to make progress to grow and improve. 

Pursuit of the ideal outcome – the pursuit of our ideal self – that’s today’s show.
