  • Creating Hope

    This week is the first week of Advent 2020 and the theme for the week is hope, and that is the source of my inspiration for this episode. Hope creates motivation and energy while the opposite of hope – despair – demotivates and discourages. As we close a really difficult year, I'd like to remind you to focus on hope.

  • Defer with an Explanation

    At some time in your leadership journey, you will need to manage a timing or priority conflict with another person. They will stop you in the hall while you are on your way to a meeting and ask for a quick decision. You will get a phone call while you are composing an important email. When this happens, you will probably want to defer the engagement AND protect the relationship. In this episode, I'll share a strategy you can often use to do that well.

  • In Search of Positive

    Most people thrive in environments where there are more positive experiences than negative experiences, and it can be difficult to create that type of environment at work. Most people notice and comment on what went wrong in preference to noticing and commenting on what went right. As leaders, we want engaged, committed, positive teams, and that often calls for creating an environment where we notice what went right. In this episode, I'm proposing a simple way to keep this concept top of mind.

  • Head Mistakes vs. Heart Mistakes

    Mistakes. We all make them, and there are two different kinds with two completely different implications. In this episode, I'm looking at the difference between head mistakes and heart mistakes, how to handle them both when we make mistakes and when others do, and why it matters to leadership communication.

  • Start with "Yes"

    While learning to say "No" is a useful and powerful leadership skill, it can be the end of a conversation. And, while it is sometimes necessary to end a discussion so that you can move on, it is more often helpful to keep the conversation going. To do that, good leaders learn how to say "No" by first saying "Yes". That is the approach I'm exploring in this week's episode.
