“Knowing your 'why'​ is the secret to success.” - Brian Fenerty, Head of Talent Acquisition at Logitec

Does your organization have a mission? Not a mission statement, but a mission. If not, it would behoove you to discern and articulate why your organization exists. 

Spend some time reflecting on what your company does, who they do it for and how those people benefit from your services/products.

Do this now! Write what you discerned during your period of reflection in a single sentence: (We) do (This) for (Them) and (this is how they benefit.)

Stories Matter! - Helping Leaders Transform Lives

Listen to accomplished leaders share how they have transformed lives.

Leaders essentially only do three things.

  1. Initiate change,
  2. Sustain change
  3. Grow Leaders.

Initiating and sustaining change are fairly straight forward activities, but growing leaders seems complicated. It's the process of instilling values.

That activity, too, can be broken into three elements.

  1. Clear direction - where you explain what you want done and how performance will be evaluated.
  2. Modeling the behavior - where leaders demonstrate integrity, by behaving in alignment with their stated values.
  3. Tell stories that demonstrate the values.

Join Gayle Turner and Shelli Jost Brady as they explains how and why stories amplify steps 1 , 2 & 3. Listen as they encourage their guests, accomplished leaders all, to share stories they have used to grow the leaders under their care.
