7:31

Happy Thanksgiving To All Of You From Both Of Us When I started this podcast, I had no idea I’d mostly serve city government leaders some years later. I’m a business guy and an operator. However, thanks to a single opportunity to serve a local city manager and her leadership team, I was “at […] The post Happy Thanksgiving 2024 appeared first on GRO…

“Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day-in and day-out.” — Robert Collier Every high-performing organization I’ve encountered embraces innovation and improvement.

Pay More Attention To High-Performers 57:10

2M ago57:10

57:10

As an executive/leadership coach, I hear clients devote an extraordinary amount of time sharing their experiences with low-performing team members. It makes sense. These people are responsible for considerable headaches to leaders. Today, I’m going to suggest leaders devote more time to the high-performers by embracing a few common components of hi…

Mindful Leadership: Don’t Over-Burden Your High-Performers 28:30

2M ago28:30

28:30

High performers tend to take on more and more…because they have a high degree of willingness, they want more responsibility and we know they’ll get it done. Leaders must be mindful of over-burdening star players simply because we know they’ll “get it done.” Great leaders are highly aware of what their team members are The post Mindful Leadership: D…

The Legacy of Great Leadership: Who Will Stand On Your Shoulders? 24:32

2M ago24:32

24:32

Legacy. What will yours be? Every great leader quickly recognizes people who make a difference in their lives. Maybe it was a school teacher. Or a sports coach. It may have been a parent or grandparent. Each of us is standing on the shoulders of somebody who came before us. Who will stand on The post The Legacy of Great Leadership: Who Will Stand O…

Author Brad Meltzer said… “Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.” Today, we’re pulling back the curtain to demonstrate Meltzer’s quote is correct. The point? Compassion. “A focus on others.” Be well. Do good. Grow great! Check out the Hosts page for our profiles. Connect With Lisa The post Everyone You Meet…

No Excuses Leadership 33:17

4M ago33:17

33:17

You’ll either find a way…or an excuse. Lisa and I were discussing understanding. Mostly, we were considering this quote from an unknown author… If only we fought just as hard to understand as we do to disagree. It morphed into a conversation about the difference between high and low performers. Not that there’s only The post No Excuses Leadership a…

Great Leaders Don’t Misplace Their Empathy 46:42

4M ago46:42

46:42

From childhood until this present moment…I suffer from high empathy. When recently describing my empathy I reiterated how the depth of my empathy wasn’t some universal brush used to paint everybody or every situation. I’m discriminating. Selective. Because I know I’m a finite resource with only so much to give, only so much time The post Great Lead…

Get Uncomfortable, Grow Great 34:02

4M ago34:02

34:02

Be scared and do it anyway. Be under-qualified, and get in the room anyway. Be messy, imperfect, and unsure and show up anyway. Comfort is the enemy of growth. Get uncomfortable. Growth requires learning. Learning requires us to attempt things we’ve not tried before. Along the way, there will be missteps, mistakes, and failures. The post Get Uncomf…

Time Will Often Tell The Stories You Can’t 30:50

5M ago30:50

30:50

You don’t always have to tell your side of the story because time will. Leaders can be honest without being completely open with all the details. Sometimes we must deliver a deeper service by protecting others. It’s part of the loneliness of leadership – the knowledge we have that would serve no useful purpose The post Time Will Often Tell The Stor…

Self-Improvement For City Government Leaders 27:21

Two recent physical ailments provoked me to think about how I might improve a third problem.

Don’t Let Distractions Kill Your Leadership 39:19

6M ago39:19

39:19

Shiny object syndrome. Dogs (or cats) chasing laser pointers. Running around like squirrels. Chasing our tails. We use all kinds of language to describe being distracted. It’s increasingly easy to be distracted. Electronically. Physically. Emotionally. Mentally. What if we could discipline ourselves to limit the distractions? What if we were in bet…

Focus: Be Present

6M ago

—

Being present is becoming more challenging. Our meeting culture of jumping from one meeting to another contributes to the challenge. So does the Internet, social media and the iPhone. All of our lives are filled with distractions that beckon for our attention. Simon Sinek and many others have talked about how phones are negatively The post Focus: B…

Is Your Best Skill Being Coachable? 24:02

6M ago24:02

24:02

High performers are the most coachable people on the planet. They’re driven to get better. Always improving. High performers want to shoulder high expectations. They crave the responsibility and accountability. They remain curious – wondering how they might get better. It never crosses their mind to stop learning because all of life is an The post …

Pride Destroys Leadership 19:58

19:58

Proverbs 16:18 Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall. Lisa and I both agree that our leadership failures have always had one thing in common: pride. After almost 15 years of coaching executives I’ve discovered that we’re not alone. Every leader I know confesses their own failures stemmed from moments The post Pride Destr…

Don’t Be Like Eeyore 32:47

32:47

They’re always down and out. They complain incessantly. They’re adept at seeing the dark side of every challenge. Or opportunity. You don’t dare ask them how they’re doing because they’ll tell you. Complaining is their main source of vibrancy. Eeyore wasn’t a leader. That behavior won’t help us become leaders either. Be well. Do The post Don’t Be L…

Great Leaders Know It’s Hard, But Worth It 23:39

“It shouldn’t be this hard,” said the young bride speaking about her first year of married life. “What makes you think so?” I asked. “Because we’re in love.” Whether it’s love, life or work…many people are confused about how much work is required to achieve greatness.

I May Quit, But Not Today 30:48

Lisa texted me the following anonymous quote: No matter what knocks you down in life, get back up and keep going. Never give up. Great blessings are a result of great perservance.

We’ll Sleep When We’re Dead 23:47

I’m a lifelong insomniac who doesn’t require much sleep. Occasionally I go on spurts of sleeping even less (which normally results in sleeping 12 hours at some point in the future). Lisa knows this about me, recently prompting her to ask, “Have you been getting sleep?” I responded sarcastically with the title used for The post We’ll Sleep When We’r…

She’s excellent at her job because she’s among the top subject-matter experts in her department. But she’s toxic. Unliked. Her caustic behavior is off-putting to other team members. Unhelpful.
