Impact leadership involves doing the following in a conscious and reliable way:
(1) Assessment.
(2) Challenge.
(3) Support.

These are applicable in most things humans do: sports, parenthood, the self, leadership, teaching, learning etc.

To each of these we connect the What, Why, How, When.

Here’s a little proof that how you frame something matters a lot. Framing issues, problems, events, proposals etc. is a skill that can be learned and improved. Do you have a conscious, deliberate approach to framing? If you don’t, we can help. Send us a message.

Our leadership class on professional skills and life skills at Adrian College began last week. Ryan Boyd, who is helping teach the class with me, discussed using LinkedIn effectively and some great strategies for networking. Tonight we have some great guest instructors who will discuss emotional intelligence and executive presence.

“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people together to collect wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.“
—Antoine de Saint Exupery.

Leadership is a process and it takes place between people. It is not just a skill and very few people are “naturally” good at it.

What do you teach people to long for and how do you do it?

I have always enjoyed learning from others who have experience and who allow me to gain a new perspective on how I think and act. Jeff Rising is such a person for me. He is a great coach and he practices with success what he coaches others to do. This book is a great resource for starting fresh. It contains a plan that works. The book is not only for real estate agents.

It is available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/7-Day-Business-Blueprint-Estate-step/dp/B0BCSBGQGK/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=37K3WIXXJNEOC&keywords=jeffrey+rising&qid=1663023734&sprefix=jeffrey+rising%2Caps%2C116&sr=8-1

Here's an exercise we give to many of our clients who seek to improve their team's culture, performance, and adaptive capacity. One of the first things we need to do is understand how we respond to challenges, and to know each other's strengths.

Think about a recent crisis or challenge your team experienced. With your team, recall the events leading up to the challenge, as far back as you can, and construct a timeline of them. What are the different outcomes people desired and the roles people played outside of their formal job to generate those outcomes. Ask what valuable new behaviors, attitudes, and ways of doing things emerged during this process of generating the desired outcomes. How might these new strengths be used to deal with challenges that arise in the future?

This exercise is adapted from "The Practice of Adaptive Leadership." (Heifetz, Grashow, and Linsky, 2009).
