Finding Balance

2019-09-16T14:57:37-05:00

Finding balance as is an ongoing battle most leaders struggle with constantly. It is also a question I am asked frequently from far too many leaders who are feeling burned out or overwhelmed. Though there are no easy answers to this leadership challenge, here are three simple suggestions that have helped me find balance in my career. #1 Start Unbalanced Every new leader or executive needs to put in the work upfront. What I mean is that leaders should go in to new opportunities with the expectation that for the first few months life will be busy and [...]

2019-09-09T13:44:17-05:00

What is culture? If you asked 100 executives, you’d probably get 100 different answers consisting of a wide variety of explanations. Though there may be some debate about what it is or isn’t, here are three basics about organizational culture every leader should know. #1 A Simple Definition A simple definition is culture is the shared beliefs, assumptions, and norms of an organization’s team members. In essence it is the rules people in a group actually live by whether written or not.  #2 Always in Motion A company culture is not static—it is constantly evolving. This means if [...]

An Effective Way to Engage Your Team

2019-08-30T19:34:42-05:00

A question leaders often ask themselves is how can I better engage my team? Or, in other words, how can I capture the heart, energy, and mind of my team so that they willingly give their best at work? These are good questions. If you are a leader asking yourself these things, it is a good sign of things to come. So what can a leader do to better engage those they lead? Though there are many levers you can pull to improve engagement, one extremely effective one is to improve transparency. Transparency is sharing information freely and [...]

A Simple Secret For Success

2019-08-23T15:36:38-05:00

Today let’s talk about a simple secret for success in leadership. If you want to have great results, then there is only one place to start and that’s with culture. Why is culture the best place to start? Without a strong culture, leaders end up wasting way too much time dealing with staff turnover, recruiting, training, orientating, clarifying, etc. This leads to increased costs and a decrease in quality and service.   However, when you start with culture first, it helps you retain and attract the best talent. With consistency in staff, quality and service can improve. And once [...]

Three Common Pitfalls Leaders Must Avoid

2019-08-19T21:28:17-05:00

Throughout my career I’ve often asked myself, why do so many leaders fail? Most leaders I’ve met start off with high hopes and most have very good intentions. Many are well educated, experienced, talented, and eager to do a good job. Most step into a leadership position believing they will be successful, and most companies who offer them the job do not secretly believe they will fail. So why does the revolving leadership door continually spin in most companies? Why do so many leaders fail to live up to their own and to others’ expectations? Though there may [...]

Aspirations or Resources?

2019-08-09T22:37:43-05:00

In a recent case-study assignment, a group of graduate students were asked to debate which company would most likely succeed long-term in a competitive marketplace—an organization rich in resources yet poor in aspirations or an organization rich in aspirations yet poor in resources.  There were great points brought up on both sides of why each company might outlast the other. In the end however, the class and the instructor agreed the company that was aspiration rich and resource poor would win out.  How can this be?  How can an organization that is far behind in resources win out? [...]
