20. The Hidden Productivity Killer

There is never enough time in the week for you and your team to get things done.  You certainly do not want to add to that problem.  Instead of just focusing on what the team is doing, have you ever considered how the team is doing it?  How they handle conflict, day to day interactions with the Customer, how much ownership they have on the team?  Every team deserves to be a high functioning and productive unit.  That starts with you, the Leader. Have you ever thought about how your words, at...

19. Who Loves Work Performance Evaluations???? Me neither!!!!

Work evaluations are such a touchy subject.  Managers, for the most part, don't enjoy giving them and People, for the most part, don't like receiving them.  In this podcast episode, we'll dive in to what most frustrations drive those feelings.  Also, we'll have a little fun (don't tell the Human Resources Dept.) with some absurd comment given for "further development" and just overall weak work advice.

18. Stop Putting Everyone Into The Same Box

Let's face it, as Leaders it's just easy to give one direction to everyone and expect them to all receive it the same way.  Teams do not work that way.  Or, hopefully, your team is not just a bunch of robots with no ownership of what they do.  The only way to accomplish people working for you to become owners is......treat them like owners. You really need to figure out what differences the people on your team has and how they can create an advantage with those differences to improve producti...

17. Let’s Change the Imposter Syndrome Narrative

Whether people want to admit it or not, Imposter Syndrome has probably affected them at some point in their life for one reason or another.  If you think about it, Imposter Syndrome showed itself to you around your middle school years, even if we didn't call it that.  All to often, we look at people who are doing the things we want to do and can't image they had struggles at all.  We only see them on the playing field and not the practice room. Since it's a fact of life, maybe we just need t...

16 The Leadership Pendulum

While it's no secret that you need to lead differently at different levels, no one really talks about the pendulum you'll go through as you start on the front line (the execution level), move to team, department, divisional or middle management (the bridge level), and the executive or C Suite (the Vision level) and how those different levels should interact.  Leading the wrong way at these levels hurts execution and business success, not to mention, it tunes out the team working for you. We'...

14. Unconscious Blind spots and Bias

Cloning yourself might sound like a great way of getting more things done.  Maybe that would work for getting the laundry done or mowing the grass.  But if you’re building your team, the last thing you want to do is surround yourself with people just like yourself.  In order to know the difference, you have to learn about yourself.  What you’re good at, what you’re not good at.  You need to have others on your team that do not think just like you. While the team is working toward the same goa...
