Leading up is the most challenging type of leadership to execute.  Earning Influence and understanding how to communicate effectively to those we serve is critical to both our success, and theirs.  

Taking a leadership role with people who have, and are our friends is always tough to navigate.  Getting off of the right foot is critical to preserving the relationship, and ultimately your success in your position.  

This week we talk about, the tough conversation, communicating our concerns, setting expectations, and following through with built-in accountability!

The ideal leader is responsive, but putting in the work to gain influence is as preventative as changing the oil in your car!  

In this episode, we dig into how we can build influence in preparation for the storms that inevitably come.  

Deciding what to coach, and preparing are only half the battle.  Now we have to nail down how to navigate the conversation in a way that builds influence and leads to healthy follow-up.

This week we held our first-ever military Sherpa All-Call!

Hope you have time to listen in on what we've learned, and where we're headed!!!

I often believe my expectations are reasonable, when in fact they are unreasonable and typically under-communicated which can be an absolute disaster in the making!!!

Let's get after this problem together!!!!
