Dadages

In this week’s solocast episode of Dadages, host Chad Hagle reveals the only four-letter word that was prohibited in his family growing up, can’t. Chad explains how his father not only expected him to figure out how to do something but also expected him to struggle in order to develop self-reliance, and it worked. He learned that there’s always a way; it might not be obvious, and it might take a long time, but there’s no limit to one’s capabilities. Chad also shares some of the responses he got from his father and mother when he expressed frustration over something being too difficult, emphasizing the importance of not giving up. The episode continues with a discussion of the high number of adults who experience disabilities, a subject the Dadages team decided to dedicate time to in July, which is National Disability Awareness Month in the United States, inspired by some members of the Dadages friends and family. Some of them will share their stories in upcoming episodes, make sure you don’t miss it! Chad then talks about the “can do” mindset and its application to professional life, citing some of his own recent career experiences. He discusses the importance of understanding the rules, not to break them but to navigate them to produce the best outcome possible and maximize the results of hard work. Next, Chad explores the principle of tailoring communications toward achieving results in business by introducing efficiency into interactions and being prepared in the event that another party fails to respond or take action, always producing pathways forward. Finally, he addresses how to combat the very damaging human trait of procrastination. Chad’s advice is “Don’t let what you don’t what to do prevent you from doing what you should do.” He also gives some guidance to leaders on how to create a dynamic organizational structure that allows for the optimization of overall performance to ensure the highest level of achievement.
