This is for the leaders who were too busy to notice

Photo from yesterday. Post from 100 days ago…

This is for the leaders (including me) who were too busy to notice.

Knowing that my self-imposed deadline for ~~death~~ living is exactly three years from June 8, i will have to balance patience with a termination point.

No easy task.

Living with a deadline creates a profoundly deep sense of self-reflection.

This illuminates the perceived need for cathartic behaviors. Otherwise we are faced with the reality of ~~living~~ dying with regret.

There is no manual for the exact way to proceed.

(And because there is no guide, this is why society, in general, waits and does nothing with their big, bold, humble dreams.)

So i may say and do some things that with more time, might not feel necessary (like this post). But i don’t have the luxury of waiting to find out.

Leadership is such an underused competitive advantage

FHSSA Basketball state championships — The Lakeland Center

Leadership is such an underused competitive advantage. Everything rises or falls because of leadership. Talent is important, and so is teamwork and drive.

Carving out time to think about this is rare.

You are the CEO of You, Inc.

Your leadership deserves reflective time to decide how and what you spend your time thinking about.

Why?

Because what you think about drives what you do.

i used to spend a lot of time doing the wrong (lower priority) things right.

Now for example, i carve out two hours every morning to get ready for a single day.

Over-focus on the same things others under-focus on or ignore.

Where does our leadership vision go wrong?

Muhlenberg College stadium — Mules serve a great purpose, but not if you need a race horse.

Text book leadership theory is a poor servant. So are MBA degrees.

Launch something of your very own and you’ll quickly discover what works in the real world and what doesn’t. You’ll also discover what the marketplace is really buying. Hint, it ain’t you’re college degree(s).

Vision

Nursing Home employee time clock — The biggest excuse is time.

Vision.

If you can’t see the future in a clear, concise, and compelling way, imagine how the people you lead have to squint.

This applies whether you are the CEO, a division or department head, a middle manager, or a front line leader. it also applies to every single able minded adult because we are the CEO of You, Inc.

Perhaps the best investment in your time this year is creating a clear, concise, and compelling vision of the future.

The email came in while driving from Spring Grove to Allentown

Spring Grove, PA fire department — Small town entertainment: bingo and meatloaf in Spring Grove, Pennsylvania.

The gift of an ordinary day is a leader’s greatest asset.

Time.

And then spending that magnificent asset in a balanced, powerful, and fun way.

Yesterday while in Allentown, Pennsylvania, i was able to respond to a Speakers Bureau executive with answers to important questions for him and his client.

Yes, we are on vacation. Yes, we had just arrived for a few days to stay and visit.

In the explanation to my Mother-In-Law, my wife asked me to share with her how my business model works.

Surreal to hear it come out of my mouth.

Additionally, earlier yesterday morning, we gifted a 77-year old with a MacBook Air. A hand-me-down, but new to her. It compliments her iPhone 6. With iCloud, her world become more exciting, confident, and safe.

Leadership happens all day, everyday.

And there are no boundaries for doing work that matters.
