Leadership Reflection

I am not the same person I was a few years ago. Life has shifted, including the things that were once important along with what we spend time on.

I'm heading out on a 1,000-mile pilgrimage. For 70 days, I’ll be walking the Camino de Santiago, a series of well-worn trails used for 1,000 years.

I manage employees who must think like entrepreneurs to solve challenges involving relationships and politics.  I need to foster reflection. 

What we say matters.  One area that’s impactful to consider is how we refer to others, especially if they’re not in the room, virtual or otherwise.

Looking back at lessons learned is powerful. Three basic ingredients leadership emerged from my perspective: self-awareness, curiosity, and courage.

What contributed to my current success won't ensure continued success. That's simultaneously counter-intuitive, disorienting, and empowering.

I have a standing monthly meetings on my calendar, where I spend one hour to focus on my priorities in the coming month.  I ask myself…

John and Terri both needed to develop new capabilities to advance in their careers.  Terri could use more of what John had and vice versa.

Most feedback can be broadly categorized into three categories. Affirmative feedback, constructive feedback, and critical feedback.
