Are leaders really just environmentalists?

The most important thing a leader can do probably isn’t on their list today.

Nobody’s perfect.

Shame isn’t it?

Won’t be on the agenda tomorrow either.

Why?

One of the great mysteries in business.

Probably has something to do with the bottom-line and all that.

The leader’s job is to create an exceptional environment.

Is profit the goal or is profit the reward?

These two approaches create the DNA of the environment.

Each approach has a direct and proportional ripple effect on employees.

We pick one whether we are conscious of it or not.

Including people.

People are complex. Each one different.

Time consuming?

Leadership lessons are like air

The leadership required to keep a Farm thriving in the midst of residential growth is remarkable. This is not something we would normally ever think about. But if we ever did, there are insights to be gleaned.

(photo above: York County Pennsylvania Farmer’s field has ‘No Trespassing signs, but no fence… bit of an honor system, or maybe it doesn’t even matter anymore)

Leadership lessons are like air, or weeds.

Abundant and free.

But do we see value in either one?

What if we did?

May all your weeds be wildflowers.

Maybe what we are doing as leaders doesn’t matter (at all)

(photo: Old middle school scoreboard… may never be used again)

Many things to measure as a leader to influence prioritized decision making.

Some things we measure will never matter.

And some things we can’t measure may be the only things that matter.

Good luck leaders.

Leadership can stink and people accept it

If you’re riding in a vehicle several miles east of town, with the windows down, and the person next to you is visiting for the first time in their life, they will ask the obvious question, “What’s that smell?”

To which the lifetime resident will respond with, “What smell?”

What begins for us as ‘finding our groove’ eventually becomes the daily rut of life and leadership.

PS. Converting a forest of trees to reams of paper is a smelly process.
