Moving forward is easier after a win than it is after a loss.  However, the process is still the same.  On this week’s episode of the Leadership Lifestyle Podcast, we’ll share the process for continuously moving forward.  Yes, even after winning or achieving a goal, you can’t just rest on that.  As the great Ben Franklin said, “some people die at 25, but aren’t buried until they are 75.”  It’s not healthy to be stagnant regardless of winning or losing.

You need to understand that failure is a part of success.  Not one single person that has accomplished anything hasn’t failed at something.  So don’t make it personal.  Make it a process for consistently moving forward.  It really can be as simple as 2, Two Word Sentences to always propel you forward.

It sounds completely counterintuitive to not correct your team when things go wrong.  This is not about accountability.  This is about what happens every day and all day.  On this week’s episode of the Leadership Lifestyle Podcast, listen in about what happens when you constantly lead through correction.  More importantly, learn how much more productive your team can be when you focus on the behaviors you actually want, not what you don’t want.

We all know that is the way forward in our own lives that when we focus on good behaviors such as eating right and getting enough sleep, we feel better.  So why don’t we do that for the people on our teams?  Too many managers want to control things and micromanage but that never leads to growth.  Take the 30-day challenge of simply focusing your team on the behaviors you want and watch how they gravitate to that, while at the same time, some of the bad behaviors start to disappear on their own.

Probably one of the most disruptive leadership issue teams have, is being led by the wrong level.  Meaning, what level is the leader on compared to the group of people they are leading?  In this week’s episode of the Leadership Lifestyle Podcast, learn how being at the wrong level hurts the team.  It’s certainly not an intentional thing, but when you don’t see the connection, it really creates a drain of energy for your team.

There are 3 main focus levels of leadership: The Execution Level, the Bridge Level, and the Vision Level.  Not knowing where you are at as a leader and then working from the wrong level can hold you back from really achieving your goals.  When you are clear about what level you’re on and then leading that way, well……if the sky is the limit….why are there footprints on the moon!

Don’t you just wish everyone on your team would just do the things they are supposed to do?  I mean, how many times do you have to say it?  Didn’t they understand the “clear” instructions you gave the whole team?  Pretty frustrating, isn’t it?  These are some of the questions we’ll answer on this week’s episode of the Leadership Lifestyle Podcast.  You have two different objectives as a leader.  One, the team must work toward a higher, common result.  Second, each member of the team gets there differently.

Avoid lazy leadership.  As the US Post Office says, if it fits it ships. That might work for mailing products, but it doesn’t work for leadership.  You can’t just put everyone on your team in the same box.  You also can’t box yourself into a corner with one style of leadership.  We’ll give you an easy way to see how to approach the team with both a team and individual mindset.  It might sound like more work, but it actually becomes much more productive, sooner than you think.

Every successful person you know or have learned about, wasn’t.  No one just arrives and never fails or never makes a mistake.  You know what drives most failure?  People’s constant behavior of not starting or giving up.  On this week’s episode of the Leadership Lifestyle Podcast, we ask the question, Why Not You????   Why not?  Really! Once you realize that stages come in stages and growth is a process of eliminating what doesn’t work (it’s not actually that you’re not good enough…..no….it’s not that!) you can move forward and start achieving the things you want.
