New Leadership Role? Your Best First Steps

Across the country there are many people about ready to take on new leadership roles. A couple are very obvious and prominent; Senators Obama and Biden who will soon have new jobs. But there are hundreds of others – new Senators, Representatives, Governors, Mayors, Town Council Members and more. Of course over the next few months many

Leadership and Responsibility

Today is Election Day in the United States – and for that reason I’m thinking about the word responsibility. It doesn’t really matter what day you read this, because our need to think about responsibility from a team leadership perspective is always critical. Today though, as I thought about responsibility, I read a quotation from Jackie Huggins an indigenous

World Changing Leadership

I think it’s pretty incredible that when Americans head to the polls tomorrow (and for the many who have already voted) we are selecting just the 44th person to live and work in the White House. That’s not very many leaders over more than 230 years! And it’s not like the last 230 years have

Nice is a Leadership Skill

I’ve noticed a theme in my life lately, and it has a great deal to do with your ability to lead successfully. The theme is simply stated by the slogan on the t-shirt I wore last Friday night as trick or treaters came by our home. “Just Be Nice” I love the shirt and the

Choose Your Yardstick Carefully – Make Sure You Measure What is Most Important

I used to frequently facilitate a five-day workshop. As a part of the process for this workshop, we had a Thursday night dinner where all of the participants got together and celebrated the week – even though there were a few more hours of workshop remaining.

I Want to Win! – The Power and Pitfalls of Competition

This is an appropriate title for me because I have thought and said “I want to win!” many times in my life. Ask those who know me best and they will tell you that I am a competitive person in just about any facet of life. Ask those who’ve known me my whole life and

It’s More Than R & R – The Biggest Benefit of Taking a Break

I recently read a poll and of the nearly 1,000 people who were asked, “Do you need a vacation after your vacation?” 87% of them said ‘yes’. It is clear that the commonly stated purpose for a vacation – rest and relaxation – might not be working very well! While most of us take vacations

It’s Not Easy Being Green

We’ve all been a beginner at something and looked to someone else to coach us and help us become more successful. Sometimes we find a mentor or coach who is really skilled at helping us, and other times, their experience doesn’t seem to translate to being able to help us very well. It is easy

Six Ways to Read More Effectively

Maybe you are a voracious reader. Maybe reading has never been your favorite thing (though if that is the case, you’re probably not reading this!) Either way – whether you read a book a week or struggle to finish one a year – it would be helpful to gain more value from the time you

Sail These Seven C’s to Greater Collaborative Success

Most everyone I talk with wants greater success in some (or many) parts of their life. And however independent you may think you are, no one can achieve as much when they are working alone as they can with the collaborative help of others . . . if that collaboration is truly helpful. You hopefully
