Empowering Young Leaders With The Tools To Thrive In A Hectic World
What do you want from your team? You want the team to excel at their job. You want the team to destroy sales records. You want them to be all-stars.
There’s a problem. You may be making this lethal leadership mistake.

What is this lethal leadership mistake, you ask. It’s a mistake I’ve seen destroy many great companies and yet leaders continue to make the same mistake over and over again.
This mistake is failing to value each individual team member.
Launching a new project is always exciting. The company is moving and shaking. Great growth is expected.
Things are looking good. The team is motivated. They’re ready to take on the project and succeed.
There’s only one problem. You’ve done an action that kills enthusiasm more than anything.

With the busyness of our days, it’s easy to let this one slide in.
We often set goals for ourselves and fail. Goals such as losing 10 pounds, writing a best selling book, or being a better spouse. We fail…
We also blame it on a lack of self discipline. Claiming we need more of it. That’s a lie.
We don’t need more self discipline. We already have it.

Think back to early elementary school. Do you remember what that was like?
You had to ask the teacher before you could do anything.
Before you could get up. Before you could get another sheet of paper. Before you could use the bathroom.
You had to raise your hand…

You then had to hope that the teacher would say that you could use the bathroom. If your prayers were answered and she said “yes,” you were handed a hall pass that was some hideous, large trinket.
