Every Road is Paved with Failure and Success

The road to success is paved with failures, just like the road to failure. Wait, what!? It’s true. Both the road to success and the road to failure have moments where things will go badly. Moments where deadlines won’t be met, where procrastination occurs, and where people will criticize you. It’s obvious that the road to success will be paved with success, but so will the road to failure. For instance, both roads will have moments where things will go perfectly. Moments where people will

Bad Leaders Require More Work

Leaders are supposed to be there for you. They are supposed to be rational, responsible, and respectful. Whether these qualities are present, or not, it’s important to make the most out of the situation. No matter how bad their behavior is, try to avoid it. Try to let it not affect your work. “A bad system can destroy good people” Gary Mottershead. Now, sometimes the answer to the problem is to find a new job. When working under weak or non-existent leadership, the culture might be too

Experiences + Trust = Respect

Some think that with the role comes respect. Others believe that because of the role, they are owed respect. Either way, it doesn’t do anyone any good to respect someone else solely because of their role. Without appreciation and respect for other people, true leadership becomes ineffective, if not impossible – George Foreman When trust and respect have been broken, it makes people all that much more cautious to trust and respect someone again. Respect is genuine. It takes time,

There’s No Time to Micromanage

To control and monitor everything in a team, situation, or place is time consuming. Let’s say you are assigned a task, and instead of the manager leaving you be to go do their own thing, they interfere. They come back to “check on you” but end up correcting you for the slightest mistake or for carrying out the job different than how they would have done it. This process of leading slows the whole operation down. “Micromanagement is the destroyer of momentum.” ― Miles Anthony Smith Th

The Word “Can’t” Isn’t Written in Our Manual

There are a lot of factors that will contribute to your success, but the biggest factor will be yourself. Let me go back, believing in yourself. Whether something is achieved, or not, it first begins as a thought. And as that quote from Lao Tzu goes on to explain, your thoughts become actions… which actions become character, and soon enough, it becomes your destiny. How much we achieve will likely amount to how much we believe. So, believe. Easy right? Fortunately, believing is a s

Qualities of A Leader That Don’t Always Make “The List”

When addressing the qualities of a “good leader,” these are a few that often get brought up: humility, delegation, listening, problem-solving, optimism, vision, diplomacy, etc. The list usually goes on to mention commitment, courage, resilience, empathy, patience… honesty, confidence, creativity, intuition, motivation, accountability, trust, purpose, influence, etc. Leaders might possess some of these things, but it’s unlikely that they are all of these things. Leaders that I know embody s

A Culture of Curiosity

Questions are an invitation. They challenge peoples’ mentality to think. When leaders give out answers or tell others what to do, the opportunity to be creative is taken away. For instance, if I were to ask you why the sky is blue, what would your answer be? While I pause and let you think about it, your imagination is roaming. Maybe you think it’s the reflection from a large body of water or that something in the air makes it blue. If I pause long enough, you may just come across the an

Business Loyalty Goes Both Ways

For the employee, the workplace has become, seemingly transactional. The mentality is, you pay me to do X, I do X. When the task is done, what happens next is what’s important. Sometimes, when organizations get what they needed from an employee, they move on – leaving the employee behind. The work has become menial, the momentum has died down and the employee no longer feels motivated. The concept of climbing the corporate ladder leaves too much control in the hands of others. Therefore,
