LEADERSHIP INSIGHTS

  • Employees should be at the center of what we do in our businesses.
  • You are a byproduct of your past, but you are not defined by it.
  • Evaluate your current success rate in business. Where there is a lack of success, it likely is because of a person. You will likely also identify where there are holes in your development of people.
  • The least expensive path to “get ahead” with employee engagement is to hire people with high emotional intelligence.
  • Get feedback from your employees through 1:1 dedicated time to tell and show people they are important. 

 

QUESTIONS TO INSPIRE US TO ACTION

  • What is some lesson, saying, or experience that continues to influence your leadership to this day? Childhood—growing up in a way that created a desire to feel included and important.
  • Use three descriptors to finish this sentence: “A leader is…” Empathetic, compassionate, and a great communicator.
  • What is a question that leaders should be asking either themselves or others? Are there any barriers I can remove for you?
  • What book would you recommend to leaders? Anything by John Maxwell.
  • If you could get every listener to start doing something THIS week to help them be a better leader, what would it be? Care more.
  • As a general life principle, is it better to ask “why?” or “why not?” “Why?” because it is absolutely crucial to feel motivated to take the next step.
