Life is a series of seasons.  My harsh winters have given way to my sunny springs. My fallow fields of stifled creativity have led to the most abundant of harvests. Trust the process. Relax.

Life is a Series of Seasons

Run your own race. Who cares what others are doing? 

The only question that matters is "Am I progressing?"

Run Your Own Race

Leadership isn't just for CEOs and presidents. We ALL can lead. Because leadership's mostly a mindset and a way of doing things.

Taxi drivers can lead and street sweepers can lead and teachers can lead as can managers, artists and salespeople. 

And if you're not leaving a trail of leaders behind you, you're not leading. You're following.

1 Rule to Lead the Field in Uncertain Times

One of the primary principles of real leadership is being uber-nice. Wildly empathetic. Staggeringly compassionate. The nicest (and best person you know). 

Why? Because leadership (and business/life) is all about people. Human connections. Social equity. Emotional bonds between you and your stakeholders (the people you work with/your customers/suppliers and the community you serve).

Our world says that if you are a leader, in many ways, it’s about what you get. What I’m going to suggest to you with deep respect is: “Being a leader is about what you give.” 

It’s a paradox because as you give more you actually receive more.

The Power of Kind

When people feel appreciated, they shine.

Although I see a positive shift as more people in business embrace the ideal of monomaniacal value creation and a career built on authentic contribution [business used to be only about money versus craft, community and acute service to humanity], some still feel that if they give a lot, they'll lose too much.

And so I've recorded this podcast episode called How to Stop Being Used. It's pretty short but pretty valuable for you as a Leader Without a Title, A-Player and world-lifter.

How To Stop Being Used

There can be no success without failure. It's just part of the process. The companies and people who have reached the heights of success are the same ones who have failed the most. 

You need to fail to win. And the faster you fail, the more quickly you’ll learn precisely what you need to do to win.  So Fail Fast. Outfail the competition. Outfail the person you once were.

Failure is Fuel for Success [If You Choose So]
