The art of truly being successful with people revolves around the letter Q.  Knowing when and which Q to you need to be can either help you be successful or hurt any progress you could have had.  As they say, IQ gets you in the room and EQ keeps you in the room.  There’s also another Q too many people rely on and that’s GQ.  Yes, just like the magazine, some people think it’s about image or having expensive, shiny things.  On this week’s episode of the Leadership Lifestyle Podcast, we breakdown when the right Q is for you and how focusing on the wrong Q can hurt your credibility and disconnect you from your team.

The good news is that knowing your Q and using it at the right time helps you to help your team.  Don’t miss understand, it’s not about being a certain way to look a certain way, it’s about being the right leader at the right moment.

Of all the things you contribute to your team, to your company, you have to get things done.  You must Execute!  Leaders can make the mistake of thinking Execution is the ONLY thing.  I know I’m saying two different things.  Yes, you must execute but it can’t be at all costs.  In other words, you really have to dig into what behaviors create execution.  On this week’s episode of the Leadership Lifestyle Podcast, we talk about how to focus execution behaviors so each day you’re doing what you should to win and not hoping at the end of the week or end of the quarter the numbers just work out.

Reverse Imposter Syndrome?  Am I making fun of the Imposter Syndrome people would normally have?  No, but it is real.  Some people are almost embarrassed that they are succeeding more than others. They try to hide it.  Flaunting it will make most people want to avoid you, but you shouldn’t hide the fact that you’re successful.  On the week’s episode of the Leadership Lifestyle Podcast, we’ll show you how to acknowledge your success but still lead with empathy and invest in others.

When you have an important position, don’t downplay it.  People know better.  Also, don’t use it as your only identity and expect people to serve you.  Use your success to influence more people and show them the way.

When most people think of work life balance, they key in on the word balance.  It simply cannot be and exact balance.  Maybe someday you’ll get to an income level that doesn’t require you to work so much.  That is very rare compared to most people.  Many people will tell you that your job or profession shouldn’t be your identity anymore.  That, there is more to who you are.  They are right about that.  On this week’s episode of the Leadership Lifestyle Podcast, I’ll tell you it’s just fine to identify with your work.  No, employers do not “own” you, but whatever team you play for, you just play hard!  Be a value to the operation.

When you “clock out”, be a value to you.  It’s never going to be a balance of time, but you can ensure you still take care of you personally.  I’ll give you an easy way of understanding the difference so you can be a value to your team but also be present in the life you live.
