Equipped for Purpose

Leaders, the way you think, the mindsets you hold, and where you choose to set your mind, matter. I want you to walk into tomorrow with an advantaged way of thinking and viewing mindsets that will serve you in a positive way.

Let’s talk about what mindsets are, why they are important to you as someone who is leading a business, walk through some of the most common mindsets that need a boost or to be adjusted, and finally how you can go about doing that.

What is it that makes up a leader’s distinctiveness?

In this episode, we will be discussing discovering your distinctiveness as a leader, and answering the questions, why is it important to know this? How do you use it practically? And, how do you develop and grow it?

In discovering your distinctiveness as a leader, there are three main components I focus on, and there is a long list of reasons why understanding and knowing what makes you distinct is important. To bring it all together, you need to be able to look at what the broad application is of your distinctiveness, and what you can do to develop and grow.

What is intentional action? What isn’t intentional action? Do you think in a way that provokes curiosity in you, and others? How does empowerment play into your intentionality? In this episode of Advantaged Business Solutions, we will answer these questions and help you move your leadership and business forward.

As leaders, I am sure that you go into every day with the best of intentions. But, do your good intentions always turn into significant action?

I bet your mind is turning right now, and if you're honest with yourself you may not enjoy the answer. So, how do you turn your intentionality into actions that will have a real and lasting impact on your business and your team?

While that can be true, I like to play on that some and say the best-laid actions of business owners go awry because they aren’t intentional.

You hear the word strategy thrown around all of the time, but do you really know what it means for you as a leader, especially as someone who is leading a business.

I want to help you answer what is strategy? Where does strategy come from? Finally, what are the essentials of developing and then implementing a strategy?

If you can answer those three questions you will be well on your way to mastering strategy as it pertains to you specifically.

Strategy starts with your vision, then your goals (or milestones) are pulled from your vision, and your strategy is built to show how you plan to get there. The essentials of that are: first, you must know where it is you are playing, and how it is you are going to win there; second, how you will play to your strengths, and managing what matters; and third, think it through.

Your leadership inside of your business is vital, I cannot stress that enough. Building a strategy to see your goals achieved and your vision fulfilled won’t be easy, but I know that you are up to the challenge. Even if you need help from a coach, that is a growth opportunity for you, and you will still be up to surpassing any challenge.

My challenge to you after you listen to this episode, take a look at your business and your leadership by answering these questions. Do you have a robust vision written out? Have you pulled goals from that vision? Does your strategy give you the how to achieve your goals and fulfill your vision?

We all know that it’s important to capture lessons learned, and apply what we discovered so we can improve and grow. I think we can all agree on that.

But are you are doing that? Are you taking the time to record the lessons you’ve learned? What kind of system are you using to make sure nothing is lost? Or do you simply wing it?

I want to give you some questions to consider and send you on a mission of discovery. What is the importance of looking back? Why would you want to do this?

How often should you be looking to lay hold of lessons learned, or the frequency of writing down these important lessons?

What data are you capturing when I set yourself to this significant task?

I am a firm believer that you need to try things out for a while and then decide what’s working and what isn’t. Some things you will see need changes sooner, and you should make those changes quickly. These are any situations that come up where you see the immediate negative impact and a course correction is required.

For everything else, it takes time to truly understand the significance of what course of action you have chosen. It may be the right course of action but is in need of adjustments. Or, it’s completely wrong and needs an overhaul or thrown out altogether. That’s why you make changes to what you're doing after longer intervals. This gives you enough time to really understand and be able to make a clear evaluation of what you’ve decided to do.

If you found value from this, I would love to hear your biggest takeaway. Send me an email or a DM on social and let me know what you took away. And if you're brave enough, let me know what action that is leading you to take.

I am revisiting the topic of values that you lay out for your team or your organization. Values look so great boldly displayed on the office walls, they inspire us to be better at what we do. Or do they?

With that, there are a couple of very important questions. First, what is behind the value, the definition? Second, what does the value look like when you put it into action? 

When companies start to survey employees, what is often uncovered is that the behavior of executives, and even other employees, don’t line up with what is described as being valued.

I want to dig into these questions, and again demonstrate to you what is taking place after you produce that wonderful mission, vision, and values.

The key takeaways:

1. Values can be turned into behaviors without being a negative thing.
2. You must provide a detailed enough definition so there isn't space for interpretation.
3. You must hold yourself and everyone else accountable.

It is obvious that clear and effective communication is a must-have skill for leaders. So, why are there leaders that are poor communicators and are not willing to grow? It could be that no one has taken the time to challenge them to improve their communication.

That is what I want to do in this episode, extend a challenge to you to become a more effective communicator. It may be that no one has ever challenged you. Has anyone ever challenged you to improve both your written and oral communication skills? If not, here it is.

I want you to grow and become an effective and clear communicator so you never have to deal with the frustration of seeing work done twice that could have been prevented. I want you to be able to avoid the frustration of a mess with the people you lead because you were ineffective in communicating clear expectations and boundaries.

Let’s talk about building a conflict resilient team. How difficult is it for you to resolve conflict? It doesn’t matter if the conflict is at home or in the workplace, it can be very difficult to enter into that and come to a resolution that is restorative. Most of the time confrontation takes on a combative feel and tone that puts one side on the defensive, which only leads to counterattacks. That isn’t helpful. I have seen unhealthy conflict resolution far more than I have seen it done in a healthy way.

This goes back to motivation. Do you want to be right? Or do you want to move beyond the contention, grow, and maintain the relationship?

That means you have to understand why conflict resolution is important? Then, how to walk through it in a healthy manner. That is the real goal of this episode, to give you the tools to enter into and resolve conflict where the outcome is maintained relationships.
