Those words may be very hard to hear.  No one wants to think they can be replaced.  Maybe, you’ve been at the same company for 20 years or more and it’s never happened to you.  For many of us, it’s a very possible reality.  Even within your job, maybe you’ve been reassigned or didn’t get that promotion you should have.  Or…..maybe you were replaced.  The feeling...

Leaders, I have a question for you.  Do you lead through results, or the behaviors that drive those results?  There is a huge difference between winning and what creates winning.  Also, how do you protect your energy, your mental energy, while leading others to get results?  On this week’s episode of the Leadership Lifestyle Podcast, we’ll show you how to lead through behavior performa...

No one, I mean no one likes a micromanager.  It’s not fun to work for one.  Your team can’t develop to its full potential under one.  True leaders do not need to micromanage.  Or do they?  There’s actually some good reasons to micromanage.  On this week’s episode of the Leadership Lifestyle Podcast, we will of course explore the bad side of micromanaging, but we’ll al...

Leadership isn’t like it was 15 or 20 years ago.  Soft skills are the hard skills and there isn’t a more powerful soft skill like empathy.  Even though most don’t always use this skill, it has always worked.  Think of the books created by Dale Carnegie.  They are over 100 years old.  It’s about the principal of connecting and understanding others.  On this week’s epis...

One of the most debilitating feelings you can have is feeling like you’re never enough.  That mindset changes everything you do.  You feel like you’re the only person that feels that way. Interestingly enough, you’re actually in the majority of how people view themselves.  On this episode of the Leadership Lifestyle Podcast, we’ll show you what’s really behind that fe...

Every Leader wants to view themselves as a positive leader.  Survey data shows most workers do not believe that.  It’s actually human nature to lean toward being negative.  It’s easier to be negative than positive.  Add in all the distractions of the day-to-day grind, client demands and goal attainment and you start to realize something has to give.  On this week’s episode of the...

Leadership Pro Tip: Everybody struggles!!!!  Yes, everyone.  We are started from somewhere and hopefully, we are all trying to be a better version of ourselves.  The good news is that you just to 5 DOGS that you feed well, exercise and take care of properly.  Stop trying to just beat or be better than others.  When you do that, the other person is the goal.  What if you really expanded yourself to...

Recent data shows two things that on the surface, do not make sense.  Worker happiness is at a 30-year high, but worker disengagement is still at 70%.  How can both things be true?  Don’t confuse happiness with engagement.  Those are two separate things.  As a leader, you need to start asking yourself some questions.  No, you can’t solve everyone else’s problems or concerns.  How...

Ok….nothing is simple, but it’s definitely not complicated.  Leaders, the fact is, there is always a rub between what you want to accomplish and what gets in the way of accomplishing it.  We get caught up the day to day so much that taking time to really examine how your team is doing and how they get better results seems like it takes too much time.  But what if you don’t take t...

Sounds strange but moving on is the same for winning and losing.  Yes, I know, it’s much more glorious to win but you can’t stay there.  You can’t be that person that peaked in high school or did an amazing thing, but yet never expand from that.  Losing also DOES NOT DEFINE you.  It was a moment in time.  That’s it.  On this week’s episode on the Leadership Lifestyle...
