Trading On Purpose

June 10th, 2011

Your day consists of waking up earlier than you would like, more coffee than your doctor says is advisable, back to back meetings, and HR ‘situations’.

Then the real work begins.

Fitting it all in before 6 pm so you can make it home in time for supper to see your family is a feat in and of itself.

Your desk is literally the no man’s land of important-non urgent tasks, email, and post it notes from your assistant.

Dreams of taking over the world have been replaced by treading water well enough to keep from drowning.

Good things crowd out the great.

You’re trading your life for this; what do you want?

Questions to help you rediscover your passion:

• If you quit your job today, what would you miss?
• What makes time speed up? What makes it slow down?
• When do you smile?
• When was the last time everything felt ‘as it should be’?
• If you could solve one problem in the world, what would it be?

You don’t have to keep trading for poor results.

Is it time for an intentional change?

The Hardest Person To Lead

May 2nd, 2011

Every leader finds it hard to lead different people at different times.

Without a doubt, I can tell you who the hardest person on your team is to lead.

Just grab a mirror and take a look. Yes, it’s you.

“But you don’t know how set in his ways and stubborn my VP of Operations is! He is the hardest person on the team to lead!”

I don’t doubt that he’s a handful, but you’re an even bigger handful.

Is your team unwilling to change?

–> How agile are you?

Is your team stubborn and combative?

–>How open are you to new ideas?

Is your team late to meetings and flexible with deadlines?

–>How prompt are you with deadlines and schedules?

Everyone is following your lead, whether is seems like it or not.

Challenge: Take charge of your personal disciplines, attitudes, and communication and take note of what shifts in your team.

Please share any observations, thoughts, or changes that occur with your team in the comment section.
