Insight #161: How to Easily Hit Your Far-Out Goals
I have been aiming too low to hit my far-out goals. And then, in frustration, I have chosen new targets, ones too close to matter, too below the mark to make a real impact.
Insight #5: Slow Down. You Speak Too Fast
Speaking too fast is a common mistake. Here's why.
Trigger Question #163: Do You Do (Exactly) As Asked?
Sometimes we are tempted to stick to the letter and to ignore the spirit of the contract between workers and management.
Insight #350: How You Fill the Position Determines What Happens to You
Here's the thing about positions. Some people more than fill the position they are in and are soon promoted to something bigger.
Insight #57: Bliss in Hand Is Worth Two Hopes in the Mud
We count on hope for a better future and we ignore bliss in the present. Then we act surprised when we land in the mud of the moment.
Insight #99: Nothing Happens Until You Make a Move, Any Old Move
Nothing happens until you make a move. Your choice of first move is often limited. Yet, it sets in motion a series of actions that in looking back seem so obvious.
Insight #324: Don’t Brainstorm on a Cold Start
If you want your team to lose mind control, then ask them to begin by conjuring up good ideas. No brain can weave and swerve and speed up and brake unless properly warmed up.
Insight #47: Your Goal Has a Gap Between Promised and Delivered
Motivational gurus have conned us into believing that shouting a goal (the dream) in public or on social media will make us achieve it. Or risk being embarrassed. I think the concept is called…
Insight #344: Sometimes It Is Wiser To Decide To Delay Deciding
I wish that leaders will learn the really, really critical skill of knowing when to decide and when to delay deciding.
Trigger Question #162: Do You Add or Subtract To Make Change Happen?
This is not a trivial question. This explains how we often attempt to make change happen.
Insight #342: Beware, the Lack of Power Corrupts Us All
Power corrupts. Or so we believe. And yet, it is feeling powerless which truly corrupts. Why? Because people who feel powerless often become dysfunctional.
Trigger Question #160: Who Do You Blame, the Person or the System?
Yes, I agree, we must often begin problem solving by making assumptions because we seldom have all the information we need. But we will create a more effective work environment if we start with…
Insight #348: Diminishing Choices Make Us Who We Are So Far
Now that I am wise to the burden of freedom, I see how freedom fathers too many dreams, which time relentlessly kills. In my case, I once wanted to be a yachtsman. Maybe a pilot. Or an engineer. Why…
Insight #106: Your Type of Success Depends on Your Choice of Effect
Do you do things mainly to impress others? Or do you do things to accomplish something of consequence?
Trigger Question #158: Do You Want 'Better' or Do You Want 'Fix'?
You cannot build a sustainable, competitive strategy based on what is wrong and what you are against. If you tried, the strategy you design would be to react to what-is or what-was.
Insight #347: Why Coaches and Consultants Love the Rude and Insensitive
Without mutual respect, mutual trust is dead in the water. And without trust, we are so f... flawed at collaborating that we might as well dust off our spears and aim for the caves.
Insight #346: Take Away the Fuel That Feeds the Fight
Why do we react without thinking to gossip in groups, catty comments from colleagues, and prophecies spouted by political opposites? Because we don’t apply the Law of Two Feet. We don’t walk away.
Trigger Question #157: Are You Unreasonable Without Reason?
Pay attention, because I am going to help you spot unreasonable people at work. What do you mean you don't need my help? You think you know unreasonable when you see it?
Trigger Question #101: Do You Know What Your Goals Are For?
We set goals because we think we know what outcomes we want. We think we must do “this” because we want “that.” Yet, we don’t always think deeply about *why* we want what we want. Not deep enough to…
Insight #322: Today Is the Start of Your New Honeymoon
Every day is the start of a new year. But we like to forget that, don't we? We prefer to wait 300-and-something days for a ritual that will energize us to kick off a few grand resolutions.
