Maybe you are tired of 'doing' instead of 'leading,' unsure of how #alignment plays into your role as a leader, or simply looking for new ways to improve your #leadershipskills. If so, the Aligned Leader Program has been designed for you. As my colleague Kate (Huckabay) Zappitelli, CPCC, ACC and I were designing ALP, we thought a lot about what it takes to move from managing teams to leading transformation. The ability to influence and align people to shared goals kept coming up as a differentiator among the exceptional leaders we had the opportunity to observe. We've tried to distill the skills and capture the essence of what these leaders shared that made them exceptional. In ALP you'll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in learning about clarity, connection, commitment, and courage and how they come together to align people to shared goals. Take the leap and register today for our next cohort starting on August 28th, below! #CertifiedAlignedLeader #leadership #AlignedLeadership #quotestoinspire

What moves good leaders to great leaders is the ability to influence and drive transformation across their organizations. Influence starts with learning to recognize when you and your colleagues are stuck in agreement instead working together towards alignment. With our premier Aligned Leader Program™ you can build the leadership superpower for closing that gap and connecting big ideas to big outcomes. Immerse yourself in becoming a #CertifiedAlignedLeader - register today for our August 28th cohort below! #strategy #BusinessGrowth #AlignedLeadership

Here's the hard truth that we learned in LEAD University Session 9 this morning: At some point, a managers in ability or unwillingness to hold individual contributors accountable becomes their professional failure. One has to be able to effectively delegate and hold the team accountable for the execution of their work. We talked about the difference between relational and positional authority and how to implement that in our sphere of influence. But most importantly, we shared experiences, stories and encouragement in our professional endeavors. It was such a great morning!

I was reading on some posts about people that are rallying against Agile and mindset. But it brought back to me about what Demming wrote in his 14 points, which I shall put a link bellow. He talks about leadership and change! Change is a mindset of Fixed or Growth - he is stating that if I am in a fixed mindset I will not be able to grow. All transformations to be successful come from Leadership who must instill goals, communication and trust. If they do not have the mindset to execute this it will fail. I am sure we all have stories of it was Agile that failed and not the leadership.. Mindset is not just an Agile thing nor just a slogan, it is the stuff of being successful. https://lnkd.in/gYqp66iy

This week, members of The Lift brought front and center the tension between approaching COACHING conversations versus DISCIPLINE conversations. We live in a culture where workplace discipline is a formality to get someone fired. It’s usually just to build a paper trail. BUT..... in a work culture of respect, trust, and belonging, a discipline conversation is an avenue to maintain the relationship. You are saying, “Here is a path for you to continue to be a part of this team.” So we discussed quite a bit of mindset and making sure that self honesty is first before bringing in discipline. First you have to answer the question, do I want to continue with this relationship?? If answer is yes, then a discipline conversation is appropriate. We would love to support you in navigating these tense waters if you feel like you’re in over your head! And of course, you can join The Lift for its second cohort in September. Send us a DM to add your name to the list. https://lnkd.in/gri_vHsa #coachingconversation #pip #coachingvsdiscipline

Some managers hesitate to delegate because they feel it's quicker to do tasks themselves. However, investing time upfront to train team members can lead to long-term efficiency gains and skill development. If this sounds like you, join us for Leaders’ Lab. We’ll discuss struggles, strategies, and solutions to common delegation issues. https://buff.ly/2lgKaSB #Delegation #LeadersLab #WorldDominationforGOOD
