  • Leadership Isn't A Reward

    Leadership Isn't A Reward
    Feb 3 2025
    I hope you aren’t waiting around for the day when someone with authority finally rewards you with the title of leader.This is my hope for two reasons:1. Leadership isn’t a reward, it’s a massive responsibility.2. Leadership has nothing to do with assigned authority.Waiting to finally be rewarded with a stamp of approval is a great way to miss the opportunity to lead today.It’s easy to think of leadership as a destination, but leadership is a part of the journey.When everyone is frustrated and you find a way to diffuse the frustration, that’s leadership.When no one else in the meeting is willing to say the thing that needs to be said and you do choose to be the one who speaks up, that’s leadership.When the team is faced with a brand new obstacle for which there is no guidebook and you say, “what if we try…”, that’s leadership.When you see a better way of doing something (it doesn’t have to be your idea) and you rally people to adopt new behaviors, that’s leadership.When you notice someone playing small and you challenge them to think bigger, that’s leadership.The reward of leadership is not a title, notoriety, or a lifetime achievement award. The reward of leadership is the trust from those who choose to follow regardless of your title.OPPORTUNITY FOR ACTION: Identify three ways you can lead in your current role and take action this week. They don’t have to be sexy or grandiose. Most leadership happens quietly, behind the scenes, and without much fanfare.

  • No one knows what you mean

    No one knows what you mean
    Feb 9 2025
    What does “soon” mean?What about “expensive”?Can you tell me with any clarity what “I’ll get right on that” means?Yeah, me neither, because each – and many other words we use every single day – are extremely contextual and based on myriad experiences that are unique to us.We say things like, “I’ll have those numbers for you soon,” with the belief that we all agree on what soon means. Except, our definitions often vary wildly and we create expectations we didn’t intend to create when we aren’t specific.Soon might mean tomorrow afternoon to you. And it might mean within the hour to me. Telling someone you will have those numbers “by 2PM tomorrow” sets a far clearer expectation, one that can be instantly renegotiated if the specified deadline doesn’t work.OPPORTUNITY FOR ACTION: Review the emails you send this week for words that avoid specificity and replace them with words that are more concrete. Monitor your interactions to see if these tweaks reduce the amount of inadvertent confusion. Monitor your own workflows to see if they benefit from clearly specified agreements.

  • It’s not bad luck

    It’s not bad luck
    Feb 16 2025
    I’ve been reading a lot of Calvin & Hobbes lately. A child of the 80’s, I remember enjoying the comic strip as a kid, but reading it as an adult is a completely different experience.That rambunctious kid and his stuffed tiger have a lot of layers.In a strip I read recently, the pair are careening down a hill in a red wagon while Calvin tells Hobbes that we are all victims of “luck” and that there’s nothing any of us can do about it. As the frames pass Hobbes leaps from the red wagon before Calvin flies off a cliff, further proving Calvin’s bad luck. Hobbes notes, from a safe perch atop the cliff, that the same thing happened yesterday, revealing that Calvin might be less a victim of bad luck and more a victim of taking the same unwise actions over and over again.Sound familiar?It’s convenient to blame bad luck for the things in your life that you don’t like, but it would be wise to examine how your day-to-day habits might be informing those outcomes.After all, pointing your red wagon in the same direction every day is a great way to find yourself at the bottom of the same cliff.OPPORTUNITY FOR ACTION: Identify one habit that isn’t serving you well and find an alternative. Bonus points will be awarded if you enlist the help of someone else…
