Blog: We need to define and measure our most important goals.

A parent tells their kids, “I have a family goal for this year: We’re going to go on a vacation.” When the kids ask “Where,” the parent says, “Oh, I don’t know. But we’ll go someplace.” It’ll be hard for the kids to get excited without defining what that vacation looks like.

Blog: I’m Constantly Interrupted, So I Can’t Get My Important Work Done.

If you’re in the office, you’re at the mercy of people who wander up to your desk. If you’re remote, it can be phone calls, video chats and noisy pets or delivery people. The interruptions might be valid, but they steal the focus needed to accomplish your most important priorities. A simple structure can put you back in control instead of letting others determine your schedule.

Blog: I want to make a difference, not just do my job.

You’re good at your job; you get paid well; it’s a secure position, and your boss is pleased with your work. Sounds perfect, right? But even with that level of success, you don’t feel like you’re doing anything that really matters. You’re not excited to start work each day, and every day feels routine.

Blog: How Can You as a Leader Get Everyone Working on the Same Goal

A consultant met with the fifteen-member executive team of a large corporation recently. They wanted to find out why they couldn’t seem to reach their most important corporate goals. They had hoped for company-wide engagement, but no one seemed focused on that shared vision.

Blog: I want to motivate my team to get the most important things done.

Why is it vital for leaders to know how to properly motivate their teams? When projects come up that are uninteresting or if a project goes from fun to frustrating, leadership can light a fire under their employees to push the limits on projects. Think of a leader who helped you see the value of what you are doing or energized you to do your best despite challenging circumstances. It changes people from going through the motions to bringing out their best work.

Blog: Manage Your Time and Energy Effectively

Blog: We’d like to build a high-trust culture where great ideas are cultivated.

An award-winning garden doesn’t start with seeds; it begins with rich, fertile soil. If the soil is lacking, the seeds won’t produce a good crop. Both are essential, but one is dependent on the other. In the same way, creativity and innovation don’t happen on teams where the culture isn’t healthy. They happen when there’s high trust among team members, where they value and respect each other. High trust sets the stage for high innovation; low trust ensures mediocre results. Want great idea

Blog: I can’t decide which of our many goals are the highest priority and where to focus our time.

Confucius said, “He who chases two rabbits, catches neither.” We know that in most areas of life, focus leads to accomplishment. Too many goals usually means that nothing gets done, since your energy is split in so many directions. The more you can narrow those goals, the better chance of success.

Blog: We need a culture that’s so strong that competitors can’t lure our people away.

Culture is hard to define but huge in terms of its impact on an organization. When people are part of a culture they like, it’s often hard for them to describe exactly how the culture works. They just know it’s something they feel good about and want to be part of it. If they don’t like the culture, it’s also hard to describe, but people will point out specific things they don’t like.

When you collaborate with onsite employees, it’s easy to see what they’re up to. But with remote team members, you really don’t know—and you can’t install hidden cameras in their homes to see if they’re actually working. You want to trust them, but you’re not sure how that can happen.
