Passionate about leadership development to help others realize their full potential and on a journey to learn and grow more every day
This week, we watch a humorous clip from How I Met Your Mother. In it, Barney theorizes that, “Doing things at work gets you fired.”
Is this true? Do leaders who play it safe and maintain the status quo do better than those with bold initiatives?
Lead well this week!

Albert Einstein said, ““Anyone can be a genius, if they pick just one specific subject and study it diligently just 15 minutes each day.”
This week we study why consistency in any craft, especially leadership, is critical to see rapid improvements.

My family went to our first escape room. Afterwards, I ask the gamemaster how many teams successfully escape the room. She said only about 25%.
I was shocked seeing as how she fed us clues the whole time to help us out. Her reason for the low percentage: Most people just don’t want to listen.
This week we explore why people refuse help and how to ensure we’re leveraging our intellectual resources to escape the room and be successful.
Lead well!

Leaders,
A few weeks ago, we discussed the importance of having goals and working towards them, but is there such a thing as being too obsessed with meeting objectives?
This week we learn from leadership expert Marshall Goldsmith and a Princeton University experiment replicating the Good Samaritan. Can ruthlessly focusing on our goals actually cause us to miss our purpose? And how can we do both?
Quite the paradox!
Lead well!
