High Performance Leadership: Stay Clear On What You Won't Do
http://highperformanceleadership.blogspot.com/2015/08/stay-clear-on-what-you-wont-do.html
Monday, August 3, 2015. Stay Clear On What You Won't Do. Can we do everything? One of my favorite quotes from Brian Tracy is "in order to prioritize, we must be willing to de-prioritize.". No, we can not do everything. We must make decisions on what we will do and what we won't do. As centered, high performance leaders we must decide with authenticity and with focused attention. It's not an area where the default choice is likely to be the best choice. We must determine our priorities. Care to read more?

doug smith training : Take Your Performance to The Next Level
http://dougsmithtraining.blogspot.com/2015/08/take-your-performance-to-next-level.html
Training supervisors for success. Thursday, August 6, 2015. Take Your Performance to The Next Level. Yesterday, in this blog, I suggested that your best performance is still inside you. What do you think? Even as we take time to acknowledge our success, we hunger for doing even greater things. We long for achieving more. There is always a way to take your performance to the next level. Are you willing to find it? Are you willing to work for it? Are you ready to start right now? Its More Than the Motions.

High Performance Leadership: July 2015
http://highperformanceleadership.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 31, 2015. How do you confirm your credibility? How do you build the confidence from others that you need to act relentlessly on your plan and achieve your goals? Courage to stick to your goals when others tempt you to leave them behind. Courage to operate within your values and not cross any ethical lines (even for a moment, even a little). Courage to say what you mean and follow through. Courage confirms your credibility. How's your courage today? Links to this post. Thursday, July 30, 2015.

High Performance Leadership: March 2015

Tuesday, March 31, 2015. Measure and Communicate Your Financial Five. How do you measure your results? For those of us in sales, the answer is simple (yet probably incomplete) - revenue. But there's more. For those of us in operations the answer is also easy (and also incomplete) - reducing expenses. That probably includes doing what you do faster, better, and cheaper. Revenue - the money you bring in. Gloriously, this number is unlimited. What's your team's biggest impact? It's easy to measure hundreds ...

High Performance Leadership: June 2015
http://highperformanceleadership.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 30, 2015. Solve Your Biggest Problem. What's your biggest problem? Will that problem get any smaller on its own? Some people advocate solving lots of little problems in order to generate energy and momentum. I can see the logic to that, and if it's working for you, keep going. I've also seen big problems that stall any progress at all. Team members talk about them. Customers rumor about them. Leaders lose sleep over them. Solving your biggest problem is the fastest way to grow. That's happe...

Training supervisors for success. Monday, August 31, 2015. It's More Than the Motions. Have you ever caught someone simply "going through the motions" in communicating with you? They say the right words, their motions seems fine, they just aren't fully engaged in what's going on. They appear to listen, but it feels like their mind is somewhere else. The other day I was riding my bike and I came upon a man playing with his dog. At first it looked really charming. The dog was very earnest in the pu...But t...

Training supervisors for success. Monday, June 29, 2015. Famous Cards for Everyone. LEARNING ACTIVITY (allow about 20 minutes). To help the participants focus on their vision, their mission, and their key measures. It's also an opportunity to practice drawing. At least one sample baseball card for everyone in the group (you could use cards from another sport but I'm partial to baseball cards). Review the sample baseball card. Identify what makes it so useful. What does it report? Draw your picture on the...

High Performance Leadership: April 2015
http://highperformanceleadership.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 30, 2015. Face the Pain Directly. Can you solve your biggest problem without facing the pain it produces? The only motivation we need to solve a problem is to recognize the cost of not solving it. Leaving it alone gives us what we've got and that is seldom enough. To move toward growth, to achieve our goals, we must find a way around or through the things that block us, the things that cause us grief, our problems. Get to work on time. What's the solution to that? Links to this post.

High Performance Leadership: May 2015
http://highperformanceleadership.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 30, 2015. Take One Brave Step. Where does courage come from? How do we as leaders develop the courage that we need to stand up to resistance, overcome injustice, and develop our people even when resources are low? It's not a pill that we can take, it's not anything that we can buy; we develop courage one step at a time. Courage does not require perfection. It requires steps in that direction. How do we get started on our path to courage? Take one brave step at a time. Links to this post.

Training supervisors for success. Thursday, January 22, 2015. Centered Leaders Develop Resilience. Do you bounce back after making a mistake? We must.

What will you do to develop more of that resilience today? Links to this post. On Time Is A Sign of Respect. Do you show up on time? What about those who have de-prioritized your event?
