Another Way to Think About Time Management

In our Bud to Boss workshops, I often get asked about time management from a leadership perspective. How to be better at it and how to stop wasting it. While I have read much about this topic and continually try to get better at it, I am increasingly clear that we are all starting from

Creating Hitchhikers Not Hijackers in Your Virtual Meetings

Long before a pandemic, when many of our meetings were in person, meetings were often riddled with inefficiency and frustration. The shift to virtual meetings hasn’t made it better. While there are many causes of the challenges, it is possible to have productive virtual meetings that are highly collaborative and stay on track. Making that

A Virtual Book Club for New Leaders

Maybe you have been part of a book club before – or maybe you haven’t and have always wanted to. But have you ever been in a leadership book club? Or one that was led by the author(s) of the book you are reading? Now you can! When you join the From Bud to Boss

A Simple Leadership Message on Election Day

If you live in the United States, you likely know it is Election Day. Direct mail, yard signs, neighborhood canvassers, radio and television ads and more – all add up to an important day in the life of a democracy. This post isn’t about politics, and while I have often written about what we can

They were a brilliant solution to remote communication requiring only a phone, a number to the bridge line, and a passcode. Conference calls served a need, but now, like the fax machine and the pager, their future looks dim.

Creating Better Communication, Collaboration, and Trust on Your Team Using the DISC Model

Would you like your team to have greater collaboration and trust? Would you like easier and more effective communication, across your team – whether you are remote or face-to-face? If you had a proven tool to help in all those areas, would you use it? That tool exists, though you might not be aware of

Mute Yourself, Not Your Team – Remarkable TV

We’ve all been in virtual meetings where a participant (maybe it’s you?) mutes themselves at the start and remains muted for the entirety of the meeting. And while there are a variety of reasons and situations where muting makes sense (I’ll review them in the video), there are even more reasons why you should UNMUTE
