David shares the need to "cut loose" and have some fun.  We often view vacations as a way to return from our work.  But what if we found a way to have fun at work, even when its filled with pressure and frustration.  David shares his new appreciation for just rolling with the punches and laughing when things get tough.  Don't loose your sense of humor because your team could benefit from it.

In this episode David talks about learning to trust your instincts.  He shares 3 reasons he used to fail at trusting his own instincts. Experience seems to be the #1 reason people may not trust their instincts.  Early in his career he was afraid to make decisions because he lacked the experience and confidence.  David shares there is trap tied to experience because leaders become comfortable and no longer have to push the boundaries.  The second reason is making “bad” decisions creates fear of repercussions.  When we are afraid of consequences we are less likely to make a bold decision.  The third reason is we allow others to influence our decision making which ultimately affects our confidence.

In this episode David shares he recently attended a leadership training.  During this training he had some "aha" moments.  Early in this podcast (Ep. 3) he brought up Leader Vs. Manager and who is most effective.  While sitting through the training he begins to realize that leadership and management are both necessary.  The book "True North" by Bill George and Peter Sim, was used to explain the necessity of both.  The book talks about leadership (soft skills-interpersonal) and management (hard skills-administrative).  David shares how he recently struggled with his own leader and much of it was due to lack of administrative skills.  When he discovers this and focuses on these skills he begins to execute at a much higher rate.  David also shares there are new webisodes of "Follow The Path" coming in May.

**Notes

Balancing Leading and Managing:

-Leading People and strategy

-Managing Task

-Associate Relations

Leading: Interpersonal "soft skills"

Managing: Administrative/Technical "Hardskills."

In this episode David re-introduction of "The 7 Values of Leadership."  Throughout his career David used the Values to help him identify which part of his leadership is failing him.  He took a blend of values from all the organizations he worked with over the last 18 years and identified the most critical.  David breaks down each of the values and explains their purpose.  Their purpose is to look at your performance through a reflective lens.  Success or failure can be contributed to these values.  When we fail the values can help you think about which part of your leadership failed.  Is it because you were not "accountable" or being "results-driven?"  It gives you a starting point to rebuild your leadership.  Make sure to click the link and view "The 7-Values of Leadership".  Which two are your strengths?  Which two are your opportunities?
