Judgement kills. It’s something we do a lot of in our lives but it can be detrimental to achieving our goals. The desire to “be right” is real and with it comes judgement that keeps us from reaching our potential and goals. Even the obvious is not always obvious. Help the team members you lead reduce that judgement and increase production and performance. Feedback welcome at [email protected]. GET UP!

When you come up on the time of year where setting goals is popular don’t miss the opportunity as a leader to make an impact. Ask the question, What are you fighting for? Many people think that they are fighting for something but in reality, they’re just trying hard. Hoping things work out. Help the people you lead fight for something but shortening up the time frame of that goal. Break it down to the ridiculous, make it specific and do your part to keep it in front of them. It will make a difference in the success rate but most important, you will find that some folks aren’t fighting for anything. You can be the game changer there. Thank you as always.

Some say it’s bad to walk around with a chip on your shoulder. While I realize that if that is the only thing you think about and act on there can be some negative but I don’t think we utilize that chip enough when we need some extra motivation and we all need some extra motivation from time to time. We all have a story. A time where we had to overcome challenges in our lives. It doesn’t have to be something that is picked up by TMZ. It only needs to matter to you. Allow that chip to push you during the times you need it. Leadership tip is to develop a “Hot or Not” list for your team. Feedback welcome at [email protected]. Thank you for your time and GET UP!!

Today I have included a couple shorter stories or “quick hitters” if you will about improving positivity and getting our folks out of their comfort zones. These don’t go as far in depth as usual but I figure I would hit you with a few stories during this track then only one.

This episode refers to the different generations that we work with and as I hear quite a bit, frustrate us with their habits. I think it is a right of passage to complain about the generations that we don’t understand so Coffee’s for closers is about the transformation that coffee in the office has had since the early 1900’s and how to use those facts to communicate to our younger generations instead of complaining about their habits.

In a sales environment we tend to complete actions that can be repetitive. After we have sold for a while, preparation and practice can go into hiding. The same can happen with leadership - we are huddling up our team but didn’t prepare or rep it out. Well our skill and results can follow that path. The final episode or “album” of season 1 of Content 12 is a reminder of how important the words we speak are and to remain sharp with practice and preparation. Album #2 begins next week. Thank you for your time and feedback as always at [email protected]. Get up!!
