Sorting Your Hats

My psychologist once told me to make an org chart for my business. I might have laughed out loud, since there’s one full-time employee.  

But the exercise was profound. Like many small business owners, I wear a lot of hats. CEO,  Travel Agent, Writer, and Marketing Director are just a few. I often jam several on my head at once, forgetting that they fit best one at a time. Such hat confusion can lead to wasted time, lack of focus, and mis-allocated resources.

Slowing Your Time

Time is relentless!

It moves events from future to past in the momentary blink of the present. It’s a universal fixed cost, resisting every attempt to budget it. Sometimes an asset, time is usually a liability.

Swapping Eyeballs

“Can I ever REALLY see things from the other person’s perspective? I’m me…and he’s him!”

My friend asked a great question….

Facilitation – The Land of Opportunity

Is facilitation a useful tool for leaders themselves? I think so.

Facilitation simply means “to make easy.” You’ve probably seen examples that both supported and assaulted this definition.

Grenades and Smoothies – Delivering 360-Degree Feedback

Delivering 360-degree feedback can feel like handling a live grenade – especially if it’s a new thing for your organization. Many – I’d venture to say “most” – organizations do not have cultures in which candid, real-time feedback is both welcomed and freely given. Without that culture, we’re often left wondering how formal delivery of feedback will go.

Time and Pressure – Developing Your Leaders

Think for a moment of great leaders who have impacted your life. Picture their faces. What did they do that showed great leadership? Why do you remember them so well? 

These faces and memories shape our ideas of leadership, and they can both help and hinder our efforts to develop leaders.

“Why Are You Here?” Jumpstarting Meetings and More

I’ve got this stack of Fast Company hard copies that I’m slowly working through. Very slowly. I was in a 2014 issue, and a blurb by Stephanie Vozza caught my eye. She shared ways to make meetings better, faster, and more fun. Under “Faster,” she shared author Dick Axelrod’s idea of “asking participants to share what they need to do or say to be fully attentive.” Good stuff.

Leaving Value on the Table – The Latent ROI of Workplace Assessments

I’ve taken a lot of assessments…

But are we getting our money’s worth? 

Companies often use assessments for hiring, but nothing else. Individuals may not even see their own results. In other cases, we see them, but they end up in a drawer. When this happens, we leave value on the table.

Like Combat – Leading Well in COVID-19

“It’s going to feel like a combat deployment.”

We were talking about medical leaders and the strain of the COVID-19 crisis. My friend observed that a year’s worth of daily life-and-death crisis at the hospital – with people you may-or-may-not get along with – will feel like a 12-month deployment to a war zone.
