What are you doing to lead YOU?

01/11/2023

Have you looked at your “hunched shoulder” barometer lately?

Do you look up from your day-to-day work of number crunching and emails and meetings and phone calls to walk through your organization and take notice?

Sometimes the best way to evaluate culture - or overall employee morale - is to just take the time to immerse yourself in it. Walk around. Have conversations. Ask questions. Notice the overall “feel” in meetings and at the desks/cubicles.

When you do this consistently, you are going to notice where the hunched shoulders are.

The person who won’t interact with the people around her. The person who doesn’t initiate conversation at the coffee machine. The person who is slumped in his chair. The person who doesn’t participate in meetings.

Sometimes we blame this person for simply being “unmotivated.”
But good leaders will take the time to see if there’s something they can do to help.


And when you see someone struggling more often than not, it’s not time to assume why, it’s time to care enough to start to take the steps to figure out what it could be, and how YOU as a leader can help.
— Is this person not being led well?
— Is this person in the wrong role?
— Is this person simply sitting next to the wrong people?
— Is this person unsure of her own goals or purpose within the business?
— Is this person struggling personally?
— Is this person feeling under-appreciated?
— What else could it be?

Sure, we can all have empathy that sometimes people have bad days.

But when we take the time to take notice every day, we can see if something is more of a trend — whether it’s for one person, a whole department, or the entire company — and start to do something about it.

We want to know from you — as a leader — what would YOUR next-steps approach be if you noticed a trend of hunched shoulders?

Consistency breeds success.
Period.

In the business world, things are constantly changing. And it’s the business owners and executives that hold on to the things they CAN control that are able to navigate the boat through the varying wave heights. How do they do it? Through things like…

--Consistent learning: Whether it’s reading books, attending seminars, finding mentors or setting time in their calendars for doing research — consistent, lifelong learners will always be moving themselves forward — or preparing themselves to be better — when business roadblocks and changes come in.

--Consistent communication: With team members, with the leadership team, with their clients, with their social media audience — those who keep the lines of communication open will be able to maintain relationships, identify pain points and rally the team to achieve the leader’s vision of success.

--Consistent evaluating: Business owners who are always looking at the industry landscape, always looking into internal processes, always looking at customer feedback or scanning the office to determine if morale is up or down —they are the ones who are always choosing to “look up” from the day to day work and are able to move quickly to seize opportunity.

We want to know - as a business owner, entrepreneur or executive looking to take positive steps toward what success means for you in 2023 … how would you rate your consistency on a scale of 1-10? Where do you want to become more consistent?

A new year is here. Are you ready to grow?

We see you.

The one knowing that 2023 is on the horizon and KNOWING that you should set goals.

But you? You’ve never been great at goals.

Maybe you don’t know where to start. Or maybe you’re not setting them because you’re afraid of how it might feel to not reach them. Or maybe you're not clear on what your vision is so you can’t really set a goal around it.

We get it.
Not everyone is an expert goal-setter.
But just because you’re not an expert, doesn’t mean you should skip this part.

We want to help.

Whether it’s walking you through the “how” or helping understand what’s kept you from doing it in the past and figuring out the best next steps to help you get past it - let’s work together.

Don’t let this be another year when you “wing it.”

Let’s make 2023 the year you get intentional about your success.
