Find Your Courage
Take positive action in spite of your fears. Adopt this mindset into all your habits and practices, and you’ll accelerate growth and create opportunities.
Pick Up Good Habits
Without a doubt, bad habits cause us to stumble and hold us back from achieving our professional growth goals. So how do you break such a cycle of behavior that seems to be “hard wired” into…
Hold Back on “The How”
As a leader, one of your biggest, broadest responsibilities is to ensure the growth and development of your direct reports.
Put More Weight on “Why?”
When you get to the heart of the matter, you can more effectively make major leadership decisions around initiating change, driving performance and developing your people.
Believe in Your Potential
It’s easy to get caught up in negative self-talk. It’s also human nature to take your success for granted and even doubt yourself when times are tough.
Leave Worry in the Wind
Many of us spend a lot of energy on the “what ifs” in life. We often find ourselves thinking about threats, pitfalls and failures — a mindset that can easily spiral out of control.
Be a Student of Style
Make a commitment to pay attention to those who’ve mastered something you admire, adopt what they do, adapt it to your needs, and become an astute leader with a more effective style.
Make “Motivation” a Daily Discipline
To effectively lead, you’ve got to look at motivation as a strategy for getting results and build in daily activities that support this discipline.
Let Team Members Settle Disagreements
When you get involved, you take ownership of problems that aren’t yours to solve, which can become a real headache if the solutions don’t work.
Avoid the Grip of Office Gossip
Wherever there is human interaction, gossip just always seems to manifest and, left unchecked, can seriously damage the culture.
