Talent is often seen as the top priority when hiring others and when we examine our own lives. But is talent THE determining factor in success and high performance? Or are there other characteristics that may matter more?

Talent is merely an entry point. Without it, we don’t get to join the team and play. But it in no way guarantees that we’ll become an A player. 

What about drive, the willingness to push ourselves, to endure discomfort, to overcome adversity, to owning our own outcomes, to avoid excuse-making, the commitment to figure it out (whatever IT may be)? What about our willingness to do what must be done so we can perform at the highest level? 

Listen in as Lisa and I discuss what we’ve seen out here in the real world of high performance teams, organizations and individuals.

Be well. Do good. Grow great!

Lisa texted me this quote, which prompted today’s show.

Sir Ken Robinson wrote a book a few years ago entitled, The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything. He defined “the element” as the intersection where our natural aptitude and what we love meet. 

 

This is one of – if not THE best speech you’ll hear. The man was brilliant. I’m sad he’s gone. 

Today’s show isn’t about simply finding what you love the most, but it’s about investing in your own growth and improvement. It’s about accepting responsibility for your own life – and career. 

Be well. Do good. Grow great!

Ask just about any leader or boss, “Is your team or organization high performing?” and they’ll likely remark, “Yes.” Follow that up with a question, “Can you prove it?” and that’s when the conversation can get astonishingly quiet. How can we know we’re high performing individually and collectively?

When we hear so much about high-performing cultures it may be time to focus more intently on how we can grow and improve our own performance as leaders…and how we can have a bigger impact in helping others increase their performance, too.

Growth.

Improvement.

Significance.

Happiness.

Contentment.

These are just a few of the basic things we’re all interested in if we’re aiming to be our best. Nobody listening to this podcast is interested in complacency. We want to keep moving forward.

Sometimes we’re faced with situations where we wonder if it’s time for us to make a change. Many things can drive those feelings. There is no “one size fits all.” When asked to specifically address some broad-based generalization I always respond with “it depends.” The primary objective in today’s show is to give you some things to consider in your own journey to figure it out for yourself, or to help others figure it out.

Why do we want what we want?

Why do we think some solution is the best?

Why isn’t merely a great question to suss out purpose, but it helps us better understand ourselves – and others. By taking the time to ask “WHY?” and then (more importantly) taking the time to listen to the answer, we can help each other move forward.

Everything is hard until it’s easy. Everything is slow until it’s fast.

You have dreams and ambitions. You also have pain, suffering and sorrow. Hopefully you have a few Instagram moments every now and again, but mostly your life is likely routine filled with a fair amount of tears, angst and trepidation coupled with bouts of confidence, belief and optimism. It’s the roller coaster that we’re all riding on. Together.

That whole “leave it outside the office” admonition is not just foolish, it’s impossible. Life doesn’t happen or get in the way…life is part of who we become – and who we already are – as leaders. It’s also what helps each of us build compassion toward others.

Leadership is:

• Influence
• A focus on others
• Doing for others what they’re unable to do for themselves

All the elements of our life contribute to build stronger leadership IF we’ll leverage them properly.

Today, Lisa and I share some of our “life outside the office” and how it’s serving us to increase our resilience and determination. 

Be well. Do good. Grow great!
