It’s been almost 5 years since that fireside chat. My friend “Joe” and I were one of the last few remaining at our campsite fireside on our annual church camping trip. The embers were glowing and yes, there was a bit of whisky involved. I distinctly remember Val emerging from her nearby tent in her pajamas and explaining that although our conversation was “indeed fascinating”, she was tired, and to please keep it down.

Not all forms of Rewards & Recognition (R&R) are created equal. In actuality, as human beings we aren’t profoundly motivated by the tangible reward or recognition itself. It’s about the meaning behind the reward. In fact, an international employee survey by Make Their Day! found that almost 60 percent of the most meaningful recognition is free.

Most organization and team cultures today focus on racing to identify actionable solutions. The most effective leaders, however, take time to ask questions that get people to share their thoughts and feelings en route to identifying actionable solutions. Over the years I’ve come to believe that rushing to a solution is often unwise and that the journey is as valuable as the destination.

W hile I’ve always loved learning, I’ve often failed to invest in myself. This lack of investment in myself is sad, looking back on it. There are so many missed opportunities to grow. I dismissed the mentions of conferences as silly. I threw away audio recordings that were meant for growth. I sucked as a young leader. Why I Didn’t Invest In Myself.

What’s the best and most effective team you ever served on? Think of a team – at work, school, sports, neighborhood, wherever – where you genuinely contributed to the team’s goals and you were treated with trust, respect, and dignity in every interaction. I ask this question frequently – of executives I’m coaching to improve their company’s culture, of keynote audiences, in leadership workshops, and more.

Okay, ‘Complexify’ is not a real word. . But it should be. Because we all complexify our careers, our business, and our lives with excess baggage. Most of my time in corporate and coaching is spent wading through this morass of baggage to get to that shiny nugget of an idea. For years, I was the one in the meeting trying to understand a needlessly complex presentation or product.

Most HR leadership philosophies are grounded in two completely faulty assumptions — “change is hard” and “engagement drives results.” Those beliefs have inspired expensive attempts to keep change from being disruptive to employees. What these engagement programs actually do is create and reinforce feelings of victim-hood and leave employees unprepared to adapt to real changes that are necessary for the health and profitability of their enterprises.

If you are going to be a leader or hold a leadership position, there’s one quality you absolutely require to be successful. You need to be a seeker. A seeker is someone who is always searching. Seekers bypass mediocrity and are not content to settle for the status quo. They search for excellence with integrity and character. To be a great leader, commit to seeking in everything you do: Seek your true character.

Every leader/manager, if they are honest, has A, B, and C employees. The “A” employees are high potential, self-motivated and rare. The “B” employees are solid performers, who do good work. The “C” employees can range from needing too much direction to being disruptive, and they are the ones who may not make it in an organization – often a cause for a leader’s frustration and sleepless nights.

At a time when a lot of people use terms “change” and “transformation” interchangeably, it helps to know the difference between the two (and my sketch note on the same topic may be helpful).

Mistake #1: Not learning from mistakes. My biggest mistake was not learning quickly from mistakes. I chose persistence over reflection. Solutions: Reflect on relationships. Move quickly toward failing relationships to see if they might be strengthened. Protect people from themselves. Success gives leaders permission to ignore or make excuses for their frailties.
