LEADERSHIP and TEAM DEVELOPMENT

Leading Up:

Creating Balance, Focus, and Effectiveness

It’s our job to create balance.

DISTRACTIONS:

Internal Distractions:

The stuff in our head that keeps us from focusing.

•Playing the hero - look good

•Dopamine hits – fun, visible, unimportant

•People pleasing – inability to say no

•Wanting to be liked – all the above

External Distractions:

Everything in our world that keeps us from focusing.

•You are the go-to person for every question – are you afraid to say no?

•Doing the job yourself – not leading or delegating.

Don’t fall prey to habits and conditioning that keep you from doing effective triage, setting boundaries, creating workable agreements or having difficult conversations.
