Does Your Cup Runneth Over?
Learn an offensive approach to mastering information overload. Instead of become a creature of circumstance, falling for quick clicks and becoming easily distracted, start using the 3Cs.
The Time to Invest is Now
We do not learn to swim by holding onto the side of the pool. There has never been a better time to invest in yourself.
Pessimism, Problems & Pandemics
How are you encouraging meaningful conversations that release both the pessimistic and the optimistic perspectives in your leadership team?
Were your customers locked out before corona?
The corona pandemic has required many businesses (restaurants, hotels and airlines) to temporarily close,or significantly restrict on premise customer presence. This is being done, on the advice of health experts, to prevent the virus from more widespread transmission. While the health implications have forced some businesses to lockout customers physcially; many other businesses locked out their customers strategically long before the corona virus struck.
Be the Lighthouse
The lighthouse, like a leader, provides a consistent and inspiring point of reference in turbulent times.
The Oxygen Mask Rule
You must first help yourself, as instructed by the airlines, before you can help anyone else. When you are part of a leadership team, it is critical that you and your executive team members decide how you are going to help yourselves before you jump in to help others. Executives are confronted from day one with a multitude of problems to solve and opportunities to address. Everyone wants something from senior leaders; this is where many executive teams make the mistake of jumping into their company’s business issues too deeply at the beginning of their team’s evolution.
Tools alone do not make a good carpenter (or leader)
Do not hide behind tools or busy yourself with diagnostics that take your eyes off the real issues. Help people find the courage to be themselves. This means knowing what you want, saying what you think and being in the moment with the people around you. This is the mark of an effective leader and is more valuable (and feels better) than learning to simply carry a toolkit.
Let lazy practices flop into innovative breakthroughs
We must be careful how we look at people who view situations and challenges differently than we do. When someone does something differently, we should be mindful how we evaluate his or her new approach.
Lessons Learned Behind the Prison Walls
Leadership development should and must take place as a team experience. This is why I believe that we should not coach leaders in isolation. Sending a coached leader back into an uncoached team will not be as impactful as the leader and her entire team learning, improving and committing to change together.
