Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Retired Disney Institute Keynote Speaker and Prolific Blogger. Five daily, differently-themed personal blogs (about life's 5 big choices) on five interconnected sites.
Does your career, and more importantly, your leadership style, have a check engine light?
What are you working on that will make a difference in how others perceive you?
What are you working on that, unknowingly, doesn’t matter at all?
How do we tell the difference?
Excellence is a habit, not something we stumble upon.
The focus here is on each human’s contribution to society. Every ant in the ant colony, and every bee in the bee hive has a contribution.
Same with humans. Society, generally speaking, pays us for our contribution.
You can make the french fries, you can manage the restaurant, or you can own the franchise. Society pays you accordingly. More isn’t always better. Be careful what you wish for.
Leadership, vision, balance, continuous improvement, conflict, adversity, courage, tenacity are just a few of the themes here. Did I mention courage?
Did I mention organizational skills?
Corporate buzzwords, like Leadership Toolbox, sound great. Heck, there’s no shortage of great sounding.
But there IS a shortage of great doing.
Leadership and career tools and tips won’t work unless you do. Duh!
This is what’s known as a blinding flash of the obvious.
Some of you will migrate from using tools, to actually creating tools.
This is known as transformational change, and tools are designed to facilitate this.
But few of us are organized enough to get there.
His final breath and he still had one final, last regret…
…I wish I had spent more time at the office.
Yeah, right.
Yet we live our lives as if we can’t get enough work, or do enough work.
An overnight Elementary School (4th grade) field trip can be a sanctuary of sorts – a special time and special place to gain perspective.
Leadership isn’t just about getting financial results, although everyone knows that this is what drives the engine called for-profit business.
If your not coming in tomorrow (Saturday), don’t even bother coming in on Sunday!
Your big promotion on the line?
And it seems too few are actually looking for the critical difference.
The goal isn’t to find the right answers.
I mean, most people ask the wrong questions.
The goal is to discover the right questions.
Then the real, transformational, work can begin.
Don’t expect any of my blogs to solve your problems.
Rather, expect a daily nudge that someone cares whether or not you accept your divine opportunity to transform yourself into the you you know you want to become.
I’ll meet you here everyday. Ya with me?
