Over the years I’ve discovered two types of leaders. Maybe you’ll recognize these two types of leaders and see yourself in one roll or the other. I can say that, at one time, I have fallen into one category of leader but now I feel that I’m in the other type of leader. So, what are the two types of leaders? Are you a leader that helps people do or are you a leader that
Want to be a leader who positions their people to build a wildly successful organization? Want to be the leader that employees commit to, love working for, and are always willing to go above and beyond to ensure the success of the organization? Want accountability in your team, insane profits on the bottom line, and a reputation in the industry of being THE company to work for? Here are the six ways of thinking and
Have you ever heard this before? Recently I heard someone ask, “Is it still cheating if you don’t get caught?” and I just stood there in disbelief. What does getting caught or not getting caught have to do with whether or not you cheated? By this reasoning, then it’s not a lie unless someone catches you lying. Cheating is cheating and lying is lying. All too often I see business people, athletes, and other individuals
“I’m going to hold you accountable.” This is what I hear many leaders say. The truth is that holding people accountable doesn’t work. That is a taskmaster / servant relationship. This relationship does not inspire people to choose to be accountable, to be their very best. Only when someone is their very best can your organization be its very best. A workplace where people are inspired to be accountable is an environment that will attract
Very frequently I get asked the question, “How do you develop great leaders?” It is a question as old as time. And it is a very important question. Great leaders develop great leaders. Great leadership is all about growing people and preparing them and the organization for a bright future. Everything rises and falls on leadership so the need to develop those great leaders is ongoing. Developing great leaders requires the following: Modeling Teaching Coaching
As I was out for a workout this morning, I came upon a bus stop where the children were loading for school. A mother was there watching as her older children boarded the bus. After the bus closed its doors and drove off, the mother was left with her younger child. They needed to cross the busy street to go home. The mother held her child’s hand as she looked both ways before walking across the
At The Accountability Institute™ we get calls from leaders all the time. Many times, a leader calls to say they want help with their people; they want their people to be more accountable. As soon as we hear this, I know that there is an accountability problem and a workplace culture problem. But the problem is not what the leader thinks it is. The accountability problem and the workplace culture problem are not the people’s
If your workplace culture stinks, people will leave. If you have an amazing workplace culture, other organizations will try to steal your people. What kind of workplace culture do you have? What type of workplace culture do you want? What do you do? Employee Retention Starts With a Great Workplace Culture Build a great workplace culture and start yesterday building the best possible relationships with all your people. I’ve seen this in action. A
I was late for a Zoom call this morning. I didn’t look at my calendar first thing this morning, started working on something in my studio, and I overlooked it. It’s on me. I messed up. So, what do I do now that I’ve messed up? What do I say when I get on the call? What kind of “story” can I create to not look as bad? Maybe I could blame someone else? The
