Speaking of Impact

People will live the culture they feel.

You'll attract the top talent in your industry by making them feel they'll have more than enough to contribute to the cause the moment they walk in the door.

Great workplace cultures allow people to feel an abundance of support and resources. Scarcity in a given area is acknowledged but little time is wasted talking about it. The abundance of resources is sure lead to a quick solution.

Leaders will serve their company and coworkers best when giving people a great feeling before they're even hired. You'll want to concentrate on giving people the everything they need to be successful and fulfilled.

And remember, an attractive place to work is an attractive company to do business with.

Have a generous day.

A.I. is not a shortcut!

I'm all about modern technology but too many people are looking for artificial intelligence tips, tricks, and hacks. That's artificial and anything but intelligent!

The best organizations and their people will use A.I. to handle tasks so that the hard work continues somewhere else. It's not about eliminating jobs, lowering expenses, and a computer takeover.

Generous leaders need to use A.I. as another tool in their belt of giving. Listen in for some ideas of how to do this well.

People need to know what you think.

A lot of leadership is about letting people express themselves. A big part of that is how you express yourself to them. It's critical for a conversation.

Some leaders think feedback should be "found". In other words, it's up to employees to figure out how their work is perceived. I think this is a terrible approach. Everyone has a different perception of each situation. You have to make sure that people get the feedback they need to improve; positive or negative.

Generous feedback is about giving people everything they need to contribute the maximum amount they can to the cause. This allows them to feel the most ownership over their work and the most fulfillment.

The more generous your feedback, the more enjoyable is the workplace environment. Keep giving feedback.

Have a generous day.

You can't do it (well) alone.

I am a big fan of team sports and I've learned that the ultimate team sport is businesses.

You can't do it alone even if you're a "solopreneur".

I got a story for ya' and it's all about my first every time addressing a business crowd. I first thought I was being asked to show people how to build a small businesses and make a bunch of money. In reality, I was there to share the virtues of teamwork in success and in failure.

The benefits of working with other people go beyond just what they can do for your bottom line. The more you work together, the better you'll be at helping each other have a better life, literally.

This episode is full of the ways you can use the team atmosphere to grow your business.

Most meetings are a waste of time.

I said it because I believe it.

This doesn't mean they have to be, though. In fact, I know you can lead the most productive meetings you've ever seen. You just have to lead less of them.

There are certain things that should and some that should not be a part of meetings. I have a few of these for you and a perspective shift on what's most important in your all team meetings.

I am big supporter of teamwork, collaboration, and in person gatherings. But they must be done right!

Have a generous day.

Networking is not about getting business cards.

It's about giving your time to people. You know people love to talk about their lives and work. I have 5 ways for you lean into the giving mindset while you network.

Here's how you do it well regardless of if it's online or IRL.

Love is the catalyst for many other things in life and business.

I wouldn't consider myself a romantic, but I do find love in a lot of places.

It signifies commitment, compassion, and appreciation among other things. Even of them are great characteristics for a leader and a business culture.

You can't be generous without a form of love.

I thought a lot about love recently because of a wedding I attended. It made me think of why there was such a big celebration and why so many people were involved. Was it just for the food and dancing?

Here are some thoughts on how the things we celebrate at weddings can help us grow our businesses.

You can't expect everything that is unexpected.

If generosity will make you "rich" and the "riches are in the niches"…

…then generosity is in all the niches.

Great leaders are able to understand the work experience of their people. They might have a prominent leadership style but they are able to adapt to others' needs. They can't rely on a niche style to get them through.

A niched leader is a limited leader.

I used the transitive property to identify that you should be able to morph into each team members unique, niched, psyche to help them have the most enjoyable work experience. In other words, you can and need to use generosity in all the niches to build the workplace culture of growth you desire.

Have a generous day.

You can't expect everything that is unexpected.

I believe strongly in the virtue of resilience. It's critical for results in business and in life.

Resilience is not expressed in times where the expected has happened. The key to expecting the unexpected is not planning for every possible scenario. This is impossible and crippling for your people and your businesses.

Instead, you have to expect to "feel" the unexpected from time to time. These are the times when you express resilience.

Take the time to plan what you can but don't sacrifice you and your team's ability to react and think on the fly.

Listening is the #1 skill a generous leader needs.

There are many types of listening. So many have been studied that it can be overwhelming to learn about this critical skill.

I've noticed that certain types of listening are of high important to servant leaders and generous cultures. I did some research and came up with 4 different kinds of listening that I felt were at the top of the list.

There are plenty of other kinds and I encourage you to research on your own and learn which forms are significant to you. Please share them with me as you like.

For now, you can start with these four and build a culture of generosity in your business.

Have a generous day that's full of good listening.
