That’s a lot of dogs!!!  Well….I’m not talking about real 4-legged dogs.  DOGS stand for Disciplines Of Growth Success.  There are 5 categories you need to not only understand, but focus some of your time in.  You will probably be naturally gifted at some of these Disciplines and others you will not.  However, you will need the Disciplines you are not good at.  You don’t have to be great at all 5, but you have to acknowledge their importance, so you aren’t held back to what you can actually accomplish.

The good news is that even if you aren’t good at some of these Disciplines, you can improve your ability in them, making you the most effective version of you.  So, have an open mind and challenge yourself to be better at all 5 DOGS.  This podcast episode of the Leadership Lifestyle Podcast, is all about investing in yourself!

We’ve all heard the expression, short term gain-long term pain.  That’s what happens when teams are managed through fear like, hit these numbers or else.  It’s also an incredibly lazy way to lead people. In fact, I wouldn’t consider you a leader if this is what you do.  On this week’s episode on the Leadership Lifestyle Podcast, I’ll explain that your Culture level will determine your level of Execution.  Don’t think that wow, I don’t have the time or energy to create a strong Culture.  The reality is, creating the right Culture is actually more about a change in mindset before actually doing anything.

Sure, you can have some execution based on force or tough love or the old do it or I’ll find someone who will.  You will win in the short term, but you won’t build anything.  You won’t build a team or create opportunities you didn’t even know you had. The fact that you’re listening to a podcast says you are not that kind of leader.  Take a short 24-minute journey into how you can drive Execution with a very strong Culture.
