LEADERSHIP INSIGHTS
To have a great relationship with someone, business or personal, we need to have the 3 C’s: caring, comprehension, and capabilities. As leaders, the 3 C’s are essential to sustainable growth and development of any organization. Leaders and their employees need to Care about the people around them (family, friends, employees, team, community etc.). This should be demonstrated by a willingness to give to others and to focus on the needs of other people rather than themselves. This value is […]
< In this week’s video blog our expert guide, Don Hadley, discusses the power of words. American author, Napoleon Hill said, “Think twice before you speak, because your words and influence will plant the seed of either success or failure.” The words we use in business to build relationships and communicate our ideas, plans, and goals are our most powerful tool. The average person speaks 16,000 words per day. The values of things change based on how much they […]

We are fond of talking about learning from past mistakes. This is a great idea that we need to continue using. What may be more dangerous, though, are our successes. In our 30 years guiding business leaders, we have met numerous leaders that feel so successful using the past as the barometer; they are very successful, at least for this moment. Their success has lulled them to sleep and into a false sense of security. We live in a chaotic […]
Do you and your leaders know the best place and times to measure? For the best value and power, conduct surveys to get a baseline and then periodically redo them for feedback on recent changes. We have found that this is the best way for you to be coached on how you and your team are achieving. We see many companies institute new programs, projects and initiatives. It may be setting up and using new software or leadership training or […]
In this week’s video blog our expert guide, Don Hadley, discusses success. Typically, success breeds success. However, there are times that some successful leaders can be lulled into a false sense of security. The difficulty with continued success is that the world is changing around them. As these changes occur, successful leaders will realize that what worked before may not work today and adapt accordingly. Those that do not realize this is occurring, may realize that they are not as […]
Failure can wear us down and tire us out, especially if we do not learn from it and become better. However, the pain and cost of failure is no more dangerous than past successes. Past successes can be like a narcotic that drugs us and lulls us to sleep. Because of our past success, we can be lulled into a false sense of security what has worked in the past will continue to work in the future. The world is […]
In this week’s video blog our expert guide, Don Hadley, discusses the importance of focus. We have found that primarily, leaders that focus more in-depth on business while at work have more success and stronger employees than those leaders that do not have a clear focus on their work, goals, and vision. When leaders have balance in their focus, not only are they able to have more impact with their team but also have stronger, more in-depth relationships with those […]
In this week’s video blog our expert guide, Don Hadley, discusses and shares his insight and wisdom about focus, or intentionality. It is a huge mistake to base a decision or our actions based on what we think their intentions might be. Rather than intentions, we need to look at the behavior, the actions. We encourage you to ask yourself the following questions: Are you focusing on the behavior and not the intention of a person? When coaching your leaders, […]
