The best resource in any organization is your team. As leaders, it is our responsibility to help our teams to understand not only where they fit in and how well they are doing, but to remind them of what is required of them in order for them to run effectively within your organization. Give your team what they need versus what they want. By doing this, you are ensuring long term that they will be successful not only for your organization but, for themselves. Shape them to become better leaders than you currently are yourself. Have the difficult conversations when needed. Add value to your team. Do not tell them what they want to hear, but rather, tell them what they need to hear with love, compassion and empathy.
Give Them What They Need Takeaways:
- As leaders, do not exchange likeability for what is best for your team or organization.
- While coaching and creating teachable moments, it is essential to provide ongoing and consistent team feedback.
- Transformational leadership requires you to pour into your team even though they may have the capacity to one day thrive and surpass you.

As leaders, our voices are sometimes reflected through our compassion and truth within an organization. But, how we express and compose ourselves is just as important in attaining how we reach our truth. Sometimes we have to be willing to die as a metaphor on a hill for the sake of pushing an agenda forward. This action will actually help those within your organization to grow and to thrive as you share how you feel and represent what it is you stand for. Remember, how you represent yourself matters not only to you but to your organization. Be transparent while maintaining your composure.
Transparency Over Composure Takeaways:
- As leaders, we must express and articulate ourselves in a way that we can be clearly understood to represent others that are not able to be in the room.
- As you enter rooms where major decisions are being made, speak up to all things that matter. But, remember to lead with integrity and good character.
- Do not be afraid to use the platform and exposure that you have to be more transparent while expressing unity and truth.
Like Lego, there are many pieces that need to be connected in order to achieve its final outcome. This can only be attained by following the Lego instructions page by page. There is a process to building and creating something while working towards its completion. Every leader requires a system and every system requires a process to be effective in an organization. What does your leadership blueprint look like for you to maintain the framework created within your organization?
Process Over Convenience Takeaways:
- As leaders, we must co-ordinate a system for our leadership processes.
- Each system should be structured to allow those following behind to maintain the outlined path.
- Ensure that the system and processes created provide a positive environment for your organization and team to voice their ideas.
Leadership progression is not primarily the service that you provide to your organization nor is it only an acknowledgement of your accomplishments. The progress of your legacy and hard work depends on your ability to not only transform yourself but others at the same time. The greatest resource you can contribute to your organization is to teach the people that you work with everything that you know.
Progress Over Notoriety Takeaways:
- As leaders, we must be careful to not use individuals as stepping stones while trying to attain our personal dreams and aspirations.
- Progress through notoriety requires mentoring other leaders even though their gifts, skills and abilities may be better than ours.
- Do not be afraid to share your direction with your team. By divulging your ability to move from idea to implementation, it allows your organization to learn the leadership and mentoring process that you have acquired.
As leaders, it is important to create an environment that allows your organization to maintain sustainability and longevity through collaboration. Recognize the space and beauty that is derived from many hills into one mountain. Create mountains rather than individual hills. In this sense, you are not only creating a legacy, but you are "Building Something That Lasts."
Build Mountains, Not Hills Takeaways:
- Leaders should create a common environment to share ideas and collaborate with their organizations.
- Remember to empty your "personal toolbox." This allows room for personal growth while exploring what else you have to offer.
- Ensure that you are building a legacy for the next generation to come. Make room for the new and cutting edge leaders.
As leaders, we sometimes leave or ignore pressing issues without realizing the ripple affect that they may create. Whether leading, mentoring, sharing or empowering your organization, it is important to address those deep rooted challenges that may potentially grow into an even bigger problem. Learn some key points to identify, assess, evaluate and change deeply embedded cultural issues. Having the difficult conversation may just save you losing your team and your organization.
It's Not Going To Go Away So Do Something About It Takeaways:
- Identify and assess what is happening within your organization and your team.
- Investigate and evaluate your team by asking those probing questions. This will allow you to address all issues from all perspectives.
- Do not hesitate to introduce an outside third-party to resolve in-house organizational issues. The solution that you are looking for may require an unbiased set of eyes.
As leaders, we sometimes have to just sit there and reflect on what to do next in our organization. Reflection allows you to visually see what is happening with your team while observing how well they can lead and work together on your behalf. Appreciate the importance of your thoughts while you watch and take everything in. Allow your mind to do the work and let other people lead for you. Your quiet moments may just reveal the clarity required for your next steps.
Just Sit There Takeaways:
- Leaders should air mark their quiet time to be more reflective as they assess all angles of their organization.
- To attain the "idea to implementation" process, you may have to step aside to allow someone else the opportunity to lead.
- Your vision statement needs to be a big enough statement that permits longevity in your mission, vision and core values. This will allow for continual movement in your organization even when you are not present.
Every now and then we find ourselves as leaders where we have to make a decision for the betterment of the organization. Your team may approach you with individual recommendations and ideas. Should you say "yes" when approached with an idea or should you say "no" and table the discussion for another time? You are continually up for scrutiny whether the outcome is favorable or not as the decision is based on your final word. Be comfortable saying "NO!"
Learn How To Say "NO" Takeaways:
- Leaders must learn to say "no" in order to make room for the implementation of other decisions, expand their team's thought processes while acknowledging any blind spots.
- Every decision should be in line with your current mission, vision and core values. This allows for more communication and less mistakes.
- Do not use your authority or influence to simply say "no" because you can. You may jeopardize the critical thinking aspect of your team.
- Be an advocate for working collaboratively. Empower your team to create an environment where growth is constantly happening.
In the Olympics, the torch is lit and then passed from one person to another. The objective is to ensure that the flame does not go out while maintaining movement and continuity. As visionary leaders, the same principle applies in order to create a strong and meaningful organization, Every leader must have a vision in order to keep their flame or light burning. What are your mission, vison and core values that will allow you to stay focused and keep your vision alive? How will you lead your team so that they will continue to work on your behalf?
Keep The Flame Going Takeaways:
- To effectively lead an organization, every leader must have a mission, vision and core values.
- Maintain your vision and flame. Do not be hasty to jump from idea to idea. Allow yourself to sit in the moment and think before making your next move.
- Collaborate with others who embody what your vision represents in order to move your organization forward.

As leaders, opportunities arise for you to leave or transition into different leadership positions.

We often hear the phrase that your "actions speak louder than words." What type of leader do you present yourself to be? Does it matter if others follow in your footsteps? Do your actions consistently allow you to be true to yourself? Creating character building qualities allows you to self-evaluate the type of leader you choose to be while acknowledging what you have to offer.

Dependence to Independence Takeaways:

As a leaders, we live in a world of competition. Do you have what it takes to train someone who may ultimately take your position and become your future boss? If so, how many times do you think that you would be able to mentor or lead your future CEO, manager, supervisor, etc., before you say, "I may not have the degree but I am training them and I have the knowledge and experience to be promoted? Can leadership be presented as a collaborative action where all benefit from a potentially good leader?

Have you ever had that one person call in and say, "I just want to speak to your manager" without giving you the opportunity to problem solve the issue for them? What will your next steps be as a frontline leader? From a managerial perspective, will you come out of the corner office and take care of the issue yourself or will you allow your frontline leader to assume the lead? As leaders, we need to be cognizant around the type of culture we create within our organization. Your very next steps may determine the way in which people approach and deal with your frontline workers.
As leaders, you have the opportunity to lead, mentor and empower your team. Remember to take a step back so that you can observe what your team is doing. Teach them to be resilient through their struggles as they create their own leadership skills.
This podcast discusses how culture is developed when people are gathered in the room. The processes that we implement must be solid enough to ensure that when leaders either transition in or out of an organization the processes remain. This allows unification within the organization when assessing mission, vision and core values. How you do things may determine how you get to your "why." In an inclusive and collaborative culture where people serve each other, we have to ensure that we create a space for all voices to make decisions that are best for the organization and not the individual. Track the process. United we stand & divided we fall. Trust the process in order to culturally allow the core values to remain.
As leaders, we often look for the easy escape routes when the going gets tough, Try not to retreat but take the opportunity to regroup. As leaders, there is no shame in retreating as it allows us to regroup and regain the momentum for another day. Cease the opportunity to regroup and assess your surroundings. Create reinforcements to hold the frontline for you while you make better decisions on behalf of your organization.
As leaders, we sometimes struggle with how to put our ideas together while moving toward the process of implementation. Ideas are created from our own personal, professional and work experiences producing that "Aha!" moment. By following the process of creating, implementing and executing your ideas, it allows you to make your "Aha!" moment a reality.
As leaders, we have to look around the room and assess our team and organization before we begin to make adjustments in the room and to the room. When we realize that we do not have all the gifts and expertise to fill the unforeseen gaps, we need to ensure that while we focus on filling the gaps and moving people around, that you have the key pieces and ingredients required to make the adjustments.
We have all seen the show "Undercover Boss" where the owner puts on a disguise to get a sense of what is happening behind the scenes with his frontline workers. The rationale behind this is that it allows the leader a first hand opportunity to get a sense of how the organization is actually running and expose any unforeseen gaps. Remember, by coming out of the corner office, it allows you to transition into a better leader and function in a new capacity while your organization continues to grow.
Leaders transition periodically into various positions and at times, replacing one another. Key points in this podcast reminds us of the importance in transitioning well as we focus on maintaining the team's morale and nurturing them through the transitional changes. The goal is not to duplicate your predecessor's work but to maintain a forward movement in your organization while being your authentic self. Be consistent in the leadership skills you bring to the room. Have the crucial conversations with your predecessor to avoid duplication of work. Follow suit by having the conversations with your team to assess where you are now and where you want to take them. As you reframe the teams' structure using your unique skillset, remember change in leadership is not reflective of your predecessor nor is it personal toward the new incoming leader. The goal is to address the thriving, plateauing and declining groups in a way to help merge and move them forward together. Become the new symbol for collaboration and forward movement.
Every single person has a calling on his or her life. As a leader, you have to be clear and compelling on the vision you have for your work. You must be hopeful, inspiring and be clear on who you are and what you have to bring to the table. The journey may present as a bumpy ride at first but as others have clarity on your vision and direction, your assignment will become a symbol of hope.
As leaders, we often have to repeat ourselves. The key to having repetitive conservations is not always to reprimand but to ensure that all teams are able to recognize the longevity of the journey ahead. Ensuring there are "action items" post meetings and conversations, promotes unilateral thinking and forward movement of your organization. Pinning up your value statements throughout your organization serves as a reminder that allows the team to see your long-term vision. Remember, there is nothing wrong with repeating yourself because your journey is not a sprint. Your journey is a marathon!
Frontline workers are instructed to take the shot. But what if as leaders we fail to equip them in a manner so that we don't set them up to fail and miss the shot altogether? As leaders, we are responsible for providing the appropriate tools and skills set for our teams to take the shot effectively. By providing the necessary training and developmental workshops, we maintain the most current and up to date resources. Don't just tell your team what you require them to do and leave them to figure things out. Avoid the unnecessary gaps in the organization. Ensure that your team will not miss when they take the shot.
Everyone has watched a James Bond movie where "M" sends 007 with another agent out into the frontlines and orders them to "take the shot" and to no doubt, save the world. As leaders, we have to implement the best plan possible so that our frontline workers recognize that while we need a job to be completed, we value their worth and safety. Give them the best shot possible as a miss can change you and the harmony of your organization forever.
Are pleasantries beginning to impact forward progress? When placed in a leadership position, avoid the attitude of just being pleasant. Create a space for conversation that allows for different perspectives and opinions. Your voice may be the very thing required to move your organization in a positive direction.
Everyone has an old pair of shoes or article that reminds them of where they once were. As you assume the posture to move forward in a different way, you may physically discard of them. As you establish your forward thinking, don't forget where you came from.
Effective leadership should not be lead from a position of fear. Allow your experiences, not failures, to create new growth within yourself. Develop leadership skills from your environmental experiences. Trust a young leader with innovative ideas to create a new vision. You may not see the concept right away but the value will present itself later.
As leaders, we are constantly making decisions at the managerial level that is not agreeable to everyone else in the room. If you really feel strongly about your decision, are you willing to stand firm and accept the risk of losing your job or being isolated? How far are you willing to go? Would you "die for" what you believe in and ultimately risk it all?
As leaders, it is important to reduce the WHOLE group to reduce the size of the HOLE. Pairing individuals and departments together creates an overlap in responsibilities. An informal setting allows for all voices to be heard while creating a posture of transparency for training and development. Plug the HOLE for the corporation as a WHOLE. Help other leaders to see the bigger picture.
As you move toward the corner office, your leadership responsibilities may require a new mindset. Your expectations and commitments will also change. You may have to lose some of your friends along the way as you gain new colleagues. Striving to work effectively requires new responsibilities, new friendships and new colleagues in order to make a difference in the room. Remain focused as you make your way from the center of the room to the corner office. Remember, you are not alone
This discussion addresses leadership from a biblical perspective (Genesis Chapter 3). While freedom and accountability is attributed to your employees to establish their own decision-making processes, leaders must be cognizant as to what is happening within their organizations. When opposition creeps in and circumstances go astray, leave the corner office. Be prepared to have the difficult conversation. Through support and encouragement, you can guide your team through challenging group dynamics. Let them know you have their backs.
Whether you are working at the frontline level or progressing to a managerial level, your years of commitment should remain the same. As leaders we need to either find a way to motivate those who may no longer have the spark or help them to transition elsewhere. We must recognize and not ignore the cause and effect of an ineffective leader as this may impact everyone in your organization. Avoid the cruise control mentality as time progresses. Continue to develop your skill sets and make room for yourself and others. Educate those around you, Create an environment around you where training and development becomes the standard.
