Leaders’ Reputation on and off “Stage”

Our reputations are built on ourselves. Whether or not we’re in the office, talking with people in person or online, what we display is what others believe to be true about us. Before stepping on stage, first impressions and communication occur. This ‘stage’ that I’m talking about are the moments when people in leadership positions are on the clock or in the spotlight – times when they’re supposed to image a leader. But what happens when they clock out? When leaders clock out, they are s

Leaders Stand Behind What They Say

When employees say that they’ll do something, you expect them to do so – the same goes for leaders. When employees fail to follow through, they are sometimes seen as being unfit for the task – the same is true for leaders. It can be unsettling when someone makes you a promise and then doesn’t follow through with it; Especially, if that person is in a leadership position. One rule of thumb is, if you don’t mean it, don’t say it. Don’t promise to send an employee to a training class and la

Don’t Let Strengths be Transformed to Weaknesses

While it’s important to capitalize on your strengths it’s important that it’s done in moderation. It’s easy to recognize strengths as a positive, but fail to see when they’ve been overused. For instance, a leadership strength might be that they are strong communicators. When overused, others become silent. Some leaders practice empathy. When overused, people may take advantage of them. Taking any strength to an extreme is detrimental to performance. There needs to be balance. Som

Chipping Away to Success

The key in learning how to be successful isn’t focusing on what isn’t working, but by focusing on what is working. Which may require taking some different steps. For instance, if you’re not happy with the results you’re getting because you’re taking the same steps that you’re used to, then you’re getting the same results. I want to remind you about patience. Whether we’re admiring someone else’s success or our own, it’s easy to focus on the end result and not so much on the effort and time

Your Job Title Doesn’t Define You

Titles that other people give you are far more important than the title your job gives you. Meeting a compassionate and kind human being or listening to their life story on how they got to where they are today, will always hold a higher significance than what they do for a living. The individual may care, but other people don’t typically swoon, become emotional, or feel inspired over someone else’s job title. Instead, people get excited about the individual.

Actions of a Leader

How can you spot a leader? Is it because their name-tag or parking spot displays “Manager?” Are they the founder of a startup company? An administrator? Politician? Or the head coach to a team? Well, those are all titles. These people may be leaders, but just because they have a title it doesn’t automatically anoint one as a leader. Leadership encompasses a mixture of behaviors, mindset, and skills to inspire people for the betterment of the organization. Rather it is the actions that

People Want You to Succeed

In the worst moments, it can feel like you’re on your own. You can feel overwhelmed by the distance between where you are now and where you want to go. Pause for a moment and imagine a sporting event, a concert, or a show. Typically, people attend these events with enthusiasm. They walk into the stadium, theater, or arena with the hopes that things will go well. They aren’t wishing that their team loses or that the movie is terrible. In other words, the emphasis is on the positive, rather
