3M ago40:58

40:58

Whether we’re talking about our customers or teams, loyalty is the currency of successful relationships.

3M ago8:03

8:03

Decisions, decisions…the hallmark of good leadership is swift and impactful decision-making. But let’s be real, amidst the whirlwind of emails, meetings, projects, and strategic pivots, the decisions we have to make can be so overwhelming, that we can decide not to decide at all.

3M ago42:55

42:55

“My people don’t do what I ask them to, they don’t listen and they don’t come up with innovative ideas.” Leaders say it all the time, and if I had a penny for everytime I heard this, I could buy my own private island! But before you point a finger at your team, what if this is all because you’re addicted to being right. Yes, like sugar and shopping…

Triangulation: Stop the game, build trust 6:56

4M ago6:56

6:56

When conflict arises at work, there are two ways people deal with it. Go directly to the person in question or tell other people about it first. Many times, we take the latter route, and it never goes well. If you ever played telephone as a kid, you’ll know that the original message always gets twisted somewhere along the way. At work, the stakes a…

4M ago52:53

52:53

Now that we know a lot more about how the brain works, a lot of what we’ve been taught about leadership is just plain wrong. We have to throw it out the window and never look back.

Like an illness on a playground, emotions are contagious, and in a business setting, they can spread fast!

5M ago26:23

26:23

Unlike the next meeting, deliverable, or deadline, working on our culture isn’t as simple as penciling it into our calendars. It’s a living, breathing process that never ends, it’s the long game that has to be front-of-mind for leaders.

How to Create a Performance-Based, Value-Based Culture w/LBJ Biggers 35:52

5M ago35:52

35:52

Many leaders have the epiphany that it’s not culture if you have to micromanage to achieve it. It becomes culture when people perform when no one’s looking. That begs the question: how do you turn culture from something you have on paper into something weaved into everything your organization does? In order for an organization to drive forward, we …

Stop Calling Them Opportunities, Say This Instead 5:29

6M ago5:29

5:29

If there’s one word I want to gently pluck out of the vocabulary of leaders, it would be…. “opportunities”. Why, you ask? I mean it seems like a totally innocent and well-meaning word, right?

Y’all…It’s Messy at the Top 8:53

6M ago8:53

8:53

Before you became a leader, you thought every executive had it all together. They are confident, always know what decision to make, and turning ideas into execution happens at the snap of a finger.

7M ago6:51

6:51

Here’s a real head-scratcher for you. You leave a meeting thinking, “the team has got this''. Then you go to execute, and you find out that you weren’t, in fact, on the same page.

9M ago10:11

10:11

If you’ve hung out with me for some time, you’ve heard me use the word self-authoring, but what does it actually mean, and why am I so passionate about it?

Yesterday It Was Benefits, Today It’s Total Rewards with Lauren Winans 18:39

10M ago18:39

18:39

Employee benefits used to be pretty standard, boilerplate stuff. A 401k here, health insurance there and maybe a generous time off allowance thrown into the mix. Today, we recognize that we’re humans (shocker, right?) and that work and life have become so intertwined. We need benefits programs that actually serve the whole person and enhance their …

Remember when we could leave our personal lives at home, and leave work at the office?

29:49

When it comes to communicating at work, long gone are the days where leaders had to be perfectly polished, overly formal, and cold.

Once upon a working world, the best person doing a job was consistently promoted to the boss of others doing that same job. Now…well, it’s a lot more complex.

Break Free From the Blame Game 7:37

11M ago7:37

7:37

“That wasn’t my fault”. Or how about, “I didn’t do it.” Or maybe “that mistake is totally on that coworker.” We play the blame a lot at work, and though we don’t like to admit it, we like it. We sit in blame because it feels pretty darn good for something to be someone else’s fault. What a relief it can be. Here’s the problem though, blame makes fo…

Alcohol, nicotine, coffee, sugar, and….being right. Yes, being right is something you can be addicted to and unfortunately, a lot of leaders are.

When things go wrong in our organizations, the common immediate reaction is panic… and when we are in a state of panic, we stop thinking clearly, and then we react.
