Destination: Success | Engage in Your Learning
Just like organizational performance and leadership, learning continues to evolve. 10-15 years ago individuals would sign up for or were told to attend either an internal or external training class. Past training models would consist of 1-5 day training classes depending on content and complexity of the training. The most effective trainings contained some form of experiential learning component like role plays, group work, case studies, etc.
However, retention was limited with little to no active continual reinforcement component. As we work with clients to champion and dramatically impact their overall employee engagement we are challenging past learning models and want to assist you in developing a targeted, engaged learning framework.
If you stay with us over the next 3 weeks you will rise above the age of information to the pinnacle of ongoing, engaged learning. Next week we will explore the immersion phase of engaged learning.
For more information on how to more actively engage in your organization join our DESTINATION: SUCCESS page, or contact us!

Leadership is Evolving, Are You?
Over the last six weeks we have explored the critical shifts occurring in leadership.
I challenge each of you to start with just one of the shifts above and put a 90-day plan in place to grow and develop your personal leadership in that area. For instance, if you feel too much of your day is task driven and you are just drifting from one day to the next, put a plan together to find purpose in what you do and connect to it. If you lack clarity in your role or organization, seek information, ask questions, and move from fiction to the truth. You will see how clarity and alignment energizes you and those around you.
Clarity and alignment energizes you and those around you.
LeaderShift is real and happening around each of us. Embrace it, own it, and lead it. I promise it will make a difference in you and your organization. For more information and to order LeaderShift for you and your team please click here.

From Duty to Passion
Are you coming into work every day out of a sense of duty and obligation to successfully complete today’s agenda and tasks? If you answered yes, you are not alone. A significant majority of people do just that.
In our last blog we talked about shifting from task to purpose. Once you make that very important shift, you will find the task you perform more meaningfully, fulfilling, and impactful. You will also find yourself moving from performing a job out of duty (obligation or burden) to delivering on a purpose with passion (a desire, hunger, or craving) and a different level of commitment. Additionally you shift from moments of apathy and surviving the day to moments of impact and thriving in the work you do.
To assist in making that shift, look at every professional relationship as a customer, in fact everyone in your sphere of influence is a customer. Both internal and external customers that you serve, the team you are a part of, you manager, basically any and all where you have direct or indirect impact are your customers. If you received a customer satisfaction rating on a scale of 1-5 stars with 5 as outstanding, what would that rating be from all of those that had any interactions with you this week?
If you will try to make that shift from duty to find purpose and passion on what you do and how you do it, it will be that passion for performance to deliver on expectations, promises, timelines, and to cultivate more authentic relationships that will create those positive moments of impact and provide a more fulfilling and meaningful day that is not driven out of burden or obligation.
Create positive moments of impact.
Shift from task and duty to purpose and passion, you will find the rewards great. Want to learn more about shifting from duty to passion? Grab your copy of LeaderShift today!

We Don't Want to be Managed!
Today, very few people, if any, want to be managed! There is an evolution in leadership underway. In the recently released book, LeaderShift, David Cottrell and I explore the necessary balance between structure and autonomy. The 3rd shift, From Structure to Enabled Autonomy, highlights the leadership evolution taking place today from managing people and process to enabling both organizational and people performance.
Technology has allowed for more autonomy and creativity than ever before in delivering results. However, complete autonomy without the structure that creates clarity, alignment, and an environment of accountability often results in chaos, confusion, and frustration. The proper structure should enable success, not impede it.
Enabled autonomy will be the catalyst for leading change, cultivating diverse thinking, enhancing employee engagement, and supports employee-led performance, the future of organizational performance.
"Enabled autonomy will be the catalyst for leading change..."
So is your leadership and organization evolving? If not, find out how to get it started by ordering your copy of LeaderShift today.

Stop Waiting to be Led. Lead Where You Are.
This is one of the key shifts required to sustain both individual and organizational performance discussed in our new book LeaderShift, released today on Amazon.
Future success is about creating and cultivating environments where performance is pursued, not just reviewed. Where change is led, not managed. And where formal people leaders don’t just hold people more accountable, they develop a culture of personal accountability where everyone holds themselves more accountable; no matter what.
The pace of performance no longer waits for leaders to plan, direct, control, and manage. That leadership model is too slow and ineffective in today’s complex and disruptive business environment.
So stop waiting to be led, step up and lead where you are, no matter where you are. If you don’t, someone else will.

Fake News or Real Truth?
How do you know what to believe today?
In the new book LeaderShift, scheduled for release on August 8th, bestselling author David Cottrell and I explore the need to move from organizational and individual fiction to truth.
Each day we receive over 35,000 messages, either directly or indirectly, all targeted to influence our thinking and actions in some way and I can guarantee not all of those messages contain the full truth. An average person speaks 16,000 words each day. I can promise that some individuals will not always tell you the truth for any number of reasons.
So in your organization, can people tell truth from friction or are those lines blurred? More importantly, do the messages you send and the words you speak contain the truth – no matter what? The foundation for team and personal success is built on truth (which leads to trust) and this week I challenge you to strengthen that foundation.
Learn more about making the shift from fiction to truth on August the 8th.
