When Stressed . . .

One of my TV memories growing up was of Lee Iacocca selling cars for Chrysler. As I thought about it later, he wasn’t really even selling cars, he was selling himself – asking the American people to trust him and then buy his cars. He brought Chrysler back from near financial death, wrote a business

Six New Year’s Resolutions to Improve Leadership Results

We are a few days into the New Year now, but it isn’t too late to consider and take action on this message – in fact with the initial flurry past, perhaps now is a better time to think past resolutions to results . . . The New Year brings promise, excitement, and New Year’s

The Great Distance

Some of the best quotations are sayings repeated in a culture until they are recognized by everyone. Today’s quotation is one of those. It is right there in the image . . . Questions to Ponder – What am I talking about, but not acting on? – What is the most productive thing I could

Two Resources for a Great Productivity Tool

One of the top resolutions each year is to be better organized or be more productive. I wrote today’s recommendation with that thought in mind… About a year and half ago, I wrote about and recommended Evernote – the star technology in my personal strategies for personal productivity and effectiveness. If you don’t know about

The Gift of Meaning

There are just five more gifts in our 12 (Leadership) Days of Christmas exercise that I have been unveiling one day at a time. (The details and past tasks/gifts can be found here.) The 12 Days of Christmas song says that on the 5th day, the gift is five golden rings. Few things in our

The Gift of Relationships

On 12/12/12 I outlined a process I call The 12 (Leadership) Days of Christmas. If you have been following along you know that. If not, check out the beginning (with links to the other days) to understand what we are doing and why. In the song there are ten lords a leaping. As a leader

The Gift of Your Ear . . . and Your Heart

On 12/12/12, I outlined a process for a Leadership 12 Days of Christmas process, where each day I would give you a small task that, when completed, would bring gifts to both you and your team. While I don’t know the value of 11 pipers piping, I believe the value of the gift you will

The Second Half of Prioritization

In the training I did this week, the idea inside today’s short quotation came up several times. It is an important idea, and yet one many people haven’t thought of or just don’t do (which is another reason to do it!). “It is not only what we do, but also what we do not do, for which

Remembering Why You Hired People

Why do you hire new employees? Ok, this seems like an obvious question, and no, it isn’t a trick. We hire people because we have assignments that need to be completed, sales to be made, products to be created, manufactured, shipped, and billed. We hire people to be productive; to get work done. Yet, that’s

Don’t Set a Goal…

Did I actually write don’t set a goal? I did. Because the way most people set goals is a waste of time – and if that is how you do it, you would be better off not setting them at all. When you set a goal, the purpose is to achieve that goal, right? But
