Thanks JD. Sometimes letting it flow is the best way!

Thanks for the clarity and reality in this post Julie. I agree the tag coach is used in ways that don’t reflect the depth and breadth of this action. Coaches also do hard stuff. On a lighter note I played […]

Nice post and pep talk Jeff. We need daily courage to lead our enterprise and a heaping helping of that defiant faith!

Hi Dain,

Much appreciation for taking the time to read my post and finding ways to connect to this message. Indeed we are reap lessons from those who’ve forged on and led anyhow, in the midst of trying circumstances.

Thanks Robert. Indeed, the power of unity cannot be underestimated.

Yes indeed Ken; goals, motivation and performance are parts of leadership. Thanks!

I like the way you divide up the word leadership into roles and definitions.
Thanks for the comment!

Great metaphoric use of the engagement ring. So true about the value of starting the cycle to get employees involved and how that process opens up the space for their best efforts to unfold.

Nice post Michael. Like the link between curiosity and trust-building.

David, appreciate your sharing this good story that blends with this post.

Thanks Dave!

Appreciate your comments Glen. You’re right, there’s daily opportunity to ignite again.
Be bionic!

Thanks for the feedback Claudio. I’m doing some work on my mission and vision too!

Good list. So often when budgets are tight, leaders overlook the obvious ways to still hone their skills. Thanks!

I appreciate your taking the take-a-way! You’re right about the digging out of the policy when something happens. Or they have to call a consultant! hint, hint

Thanks for your comment Tricia.

Insightful and timely post. Milestones celebrations is on point, particularly it’s so easy to get busy and let little but significant achievements get lost along the way.

Thanks Jane for those wonderful reminders. Particularly how important it is to be tuned in to your own win-lose perspective and th adversary’s motivators.
