Lisa Dempsey, Founder/CEO of Leadership Labs International, and I have a conversation about the importance of saying no to the less important things so that we can fully commit to our highest priorities, and strategies to accomplish this within your organization. Here are some of the highlights: ·  How overcommitment leads to mediocrity ·  The cost of saying yes to everything ·  How our executive function is affected by a constant state of overwhelm ·  Ways to recognize symptoms of overwhelm, what to learn from it, and how to adjust ·  Reprioritizing as a key to gain clarity ·  The concept of psychological safety within an organization ·  Letting go of the Leadership Bias to engage more authentically with your CEO ·  Testing the waters for pushback conversations ·  Explaining the why to increase engagement ·  Measuring success of your business on a continuum as well as the fiscal year
