Leadership

Transitioning from technical work to leadership involves coaching managers and aligning on context, philosophy, and goals.

Emotional Intelligence wasn’t always a concept I grasped fully. I hadn’t realized my emotions communicated even when my words didn’t.

I’ve had the opportunity to cross paths with thousands of leaders and learn from their journeys. Together, we’ve explored what it means to lead.

Work on the right things, use my time to think strategically, and do less of what’s comfortable and more of what’s needed. Focus on impact.

With my operations manager retiring, I focused on strategic change and reimagining the operations team for emerging technology trends.

What is required to be on a stage competing against the best in the world? What’s the correlation with how you work toward becoming great?

Focusing on existing strengths allows individuals to build on what they already do well, boosting confidence and motivation.

When they encounter each other, they can quickly communicate and connect based on a shared MOR experience and the resulting language.

While you don’t want to be known as a “no” person, you do want to be seen as a team player. That makes the situation difficult.

Do you crave a transformative experience? Do you want to take a quantum leap? Step right this way; MOR Hardware has you covered.

Where do you see untapped growth potential in people? What strategies could you advance to invite others to explore their potential?

I tend to say “yes” to everything. There are many reasons. For a long time, this served me well enough, but it all became too much.

I offer this as an option to reframe a challenging situation into an opportunity to level up: grit lasts longer than giftedness.

Think about your Desired Future State. Don’t settle, have it really be a transformation. This is your 2.0 “version” you should set sight on.

AI can be complementary in our leadership toolkit. However, as with any tool, it works great for some circumstances and not as well for others.
