These are the questions we will be answering in this article.           What is a Mission Statement?  A mission statement is a brief aspirational declaration, expressed in plain language, that describes what the organization is trying to accomplish.

5 Reasons Why Good Employees Quit and Leave your Organization

2021-03-15T07:50:59-05:00

Few things are more discouraging for leaders than when they find out a good employee is quitting—especially when they discover that person is going to work for their competition!     When this happens, too many leaders and organizations allow themselves to believe employees go because they are offered better benefits or pay; however, this is rarely the case.  Multiple studies on why employees leave their jobs have proven that most do not quit for more pay or better benefits.  Still, too many accept this belief and thus continue to see their best employees exit their organization.    Though pay and benefits [...]

Your Defining Moment

2020-03-28T15:52:49-05:00

A crisis has a way of highlighting leadership. In many ways, what you do now will have a bigger impact on your people than all the good and inspiring things you do during normal times.  Isn’t this what leadership is all about? It is much easier to lead when things are going smoothly. The real test of a leader is how they react and behave when times are tough.  To be successful, your communication must be at an all-time high. Likewise, so should your empathy. Now is not the time to shrink or hide away. Now is the [...]

If you manage people, your influence on others is huge! Period. Whether you know it or not, or believe it or not, your influence on the people you lead impacts all things in their life.

Upgrade Your Decision Making

2019-02-06T19:59:26-06:00

What do you stand for?   What does your organization stand for?  Is this clear to all of your team?  Establishing core values for your life and for your organization is one of the best things you can do to improve results. When values are established, defined, and made clear, it can guide decision-making.   This is extremely important when faced with critical, tough, and in-the-moment decisions.   Imagine for example that your employee is dealing with a tough customer who is very upset. Perhaps your employee is inclined to hang-up the phone, roll their eyes, walk away, or perhaps even retaliate with their own frustrations.   Now imagine, [...]

What Makes A Leader Great

2019-02-07T20:20:18-06:00

Good leadership doesn’t have to be complicated. Though many experts would have you believe otherwise, I’ve learned great leadership comes down to an accumulation of doing a lot of small and simple things consistently. When leaders discipline themselves to do little things each day that show those they lead that they care about them, it has a transformative effect on everyone.  At the crux of great leadership is consistency. Sure doing the right things every once in a while is nice and will have some impact but results will never last long this way. However, when a leader can do simple things over and over and over again without fail, that’s when they truly change the lives of those they lead. Consistency in doing small things [...]
