- Stop trying to win everything. This is the number one challenge
for most people, because it underlies nearly every other behavioral
problem. Our obsession with winning crosses the spectrum of our lives.
The next time you start trying to win and prove you're right, take a
deep breath and ask yourself: Exactly what am I winning? We can become
more successful if we appreciate this "flaw" and work to suppress it in
all of our interpersonal relations. (video/article)
- Stop
adding value to others' ideas all the time. The overwhelming desire to
add our two cents to every discussion deflates others' enthusiasm and
dampers their commitment. What does this mean for leaders? It means
closely monitoring how you hand out encouragement and suggestions. You
may realize that you have more to gain by not always adding value! (video/article)
- The
best question to ask when you're soliciting feedback (both at work and
at home) is: How can I be a better ________ (friend, partner, employer,
worker, leader, daughter, father, etc.)? (video/article)
- If
you want to change, you must follow-up! This step is essential. If you
don't do follow up, your chances of changing are slight! (video/article)
- Quality
communication is the glue that holds organizations together. By using
feedforward -- and by encouraging others to use it -- leaders can
dramatically improve the quality of communication in their
organizations. (video/article)
- Even
the best coach in the world can't help an uncoachable person. The four
indicators that you are dealing with someone who is un-coachable are:
She doesn't think she has a problem. He is pursuing the wrong strategy
for the organization. She is in the wrong job. He thinks everyone else
is the problem. (video/article)
- Our
belief in ourselves helps us become successful and it can also make it
very hard for us to change. This is the conundrum of the Success
Delusion! (video/article)
- Many
leaders think they need to delegate more to be more effective as
leaders. This is frequently not true. Most often leaders don't need to
delegate more, they need to delegate more effectively! (video/article)
- Once
we get over whining because "life isn't fair" -- we can become more
effective at influencing others and make a positive difference! (video/article)
- There
is often a great discrepancy between the self we think we are and the
self the rest of the world sees in us. This can hold you back! Learn how
aligning your stated values to your actual behavior can lead you to
great success. (video/article)
- Changing
behavior involves hard work and it takes time. If you want to be a
better leader, a better professional, or a better person, you'll have to
do some work! (video/article)
- The moment we stop striving and begin to coast on our good reputation is the perilous moment when we settle for "good enough." And, this is the moment when, at best, change stops and, at worst, we revert back to our old ways. (video/article)
