    We’ll Sleep When We’re Dead

    We’ll Sleep When We’re Dead

     

    I’m a lifelong insomniac who doesn’t require much sleep. Occasionally I go on spurts of sleeping even less (which normally results in sleeping 12 hours at some point in the future). Lisa knows this about me, recently prompting her to ask, “Have you been getting sleep?”

    I responded sarcastically with the title used for today’s show.  “We’ll sleep when we’re dead.”

    Everybody is busy. We’re all running around like chickens with our heads cut off. There doesn’t appear to be a slowdown coming for our workload any time soon. So as most of us say, “It is what it is.”

    Let’s talk about the grind, work/life balance, and other honest truths about building ourselves into better leaders and better people.

    Be well. Do good. Grow great!

    Leaders Go First By Putting Themselves Last

    Leaders Go First By Putting Themselves Last

     



    Today we discuss the damage done by bosses who throw their own team members under the bus. The Holy Grail of leadership is a person’s ability (and willingness) to assemble a team, train a team, grow and develop a team to high performance standards consistently. That requires trust. Which requires self-sacrifice and a commitment to do the right thing. 

    Be well. Do good. Grow great!

    Listening Your Way To Better Leadership

     

    A wise man speaks because he has something to say, a fool speaks because he has to say something.

    Listening has a direct correlation with leadership.

    Twist & Shout Your Way To Growth

    Twist & Shout Your Way To Growth

     

    “Shake it up, baby. Twist and shout.”

    Sometimes our lives have to be completely shaken up, changed and rearranged to relocate us to the place we’re meant to be.

     

    Most often our changes – which includes our growth and improvement – result from some shake up in our life. If we respond well, these shake up’s can help us reach new heights in our performance and leadership. How can we leverage the challenges in our life – and how can we intentionally shake things up so we’re always improving? That’s today’s conversation. Enjoy.

    Be well. Do good. Grow great!

    Perspective’s Role In Leadership

    Perspective’s Role In Leadership

     

    Perspective.

    If one is lucky, a solitary fantasy can totally transform one million realities. —Maya Angelou

    Viewpoint. Outlook. Philosophy. That all refer to similar things when it comes to those inner drivers behind our leadership journey. 

    How do you see the world? How do you view your part in it? 

    Mostly, I have found too few put in the work to determine a perspective that can best serve them and others. It’s easy to resign ourselves that things are as they are and we’re victims of the choices of others and circumstances beyond our control. 

    What role does perspective play in our leadership and how can we improve it?
