You don’t always have to tell your side of the story because time will.

Leaders can be honest without being completely open with all the details. Sometimes we must deliver a deeper service by protecting others. It’s part of the loneliness of leadership – the knowledge we have that would serve no useful purpose other than serving ourselves. 

Lisa and I mulled over that opening line in hopes of sharing our insights so you won’t feel so alone in your leadership journey. It’s not always in the best interest of those you serve (or your leadership) to share the full details of every story in your life. 

More often than not time does tell the story. So we don’t have to. 

Be well. Do good. Grow great!

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!

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!

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.

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.

Do you have behaviors that drive you crazy?

Of course. We all do.

Join me and Lisa as we discuss overcoming the things about ourselves that drives us crazy (and probably drives others crazy, too).
