I've decided to start out 2024 with a committment to 3 main areas: 🔎Sharpening my focus: Continue building my skillsets and investing in myself, relentless iteration and improvement each day, having a laser focus on priorities, delegating effectively, and crushing those quarterly goals. 🗣️Leading with transparency: Shedding light on the "why" behind decisions to my team through clear communication. Teamwork makes the dream work, but understanding the why makes it thrive. 📈Investing in my team's growth: Help my team continue to grow in their careers, by identifying opportunities to showcase their strengths and successes, and providing timely feedback. This year, it isn't about arriving at some distant peak, it's about savoring the climb. ️ Every step, every interaction, every small win is a chance to get better, together. #2024 #leadership #growthmindset #wellbeing #impact #letsdothis

Growing an organization is like tending to a garden; it requires patience, care, and the right blend of elements. Recently, I was reflecting on an episode in Valuebound's journey that speaks volumes about leadership, growth, and learning. We had a trusted friend and colleague, someone we believed was the perfect person to lead our growth initiatives. We supported, rooted for, and motivated him all the way. But as the quarters rolled by and the year-end came, reality hit us hard. The growth wasn't there. The questions weighed heavily on me: What more could I have done? Was it enough to give him the role, responsibility, freedom, and motivation? In those quiet, introspective moments, I realized that I was equally blind. It was not just about picking someone we trust; it was about equipping them with the tools, knowledge, and consistent guidance to succeed. We needed to monitor progress, provide regular training, and set measurable success indicators. Our growth is in our hands, our responsibility. We must foster a culture of continuous learning, support, and accountability. Trust, though paramount, must be coupled with the right training, guidance, and measurable indicators to make the leap from good to great. In retrospect, these valuable insights shape not only our growth strategy but also our leadership philosophy. What do you think? What strategies have you found most effective in nurturing growth and trust within your team?

🌟 Is your org built on the backs of superstars? If so, you may want to reconsider your approach and it’s impact on growth 📉 According to Winning by Design, a superstar organization is based on people: When it succeeds: Reward the people. 🏆 When it fails: Blame the people. 😡 The problem with this is that when you blame the people, you churn the people, and with new people comes new ways of doing - new systems, new processes, new measures - it’s a whole new ball game ⚾️ Sure, sometimes, you need to go back to the drawing board ✍️ Often times, that’s time wasted ⏰ Because your problem isn’t necessarily a people-problem, it’s an operational problem🛠️ In the beginning, growth comes from those rockstars 🎸 relentlessly hunting down business 💰 As your business grows, though, your foundation has to be more stable and more repeatable 🧱 It’s the right model, the right systems, the right prcoesses, the rights goals, the right measures - and, of course, the right people in the right roles ✅ There is a tipping point for growing companies when who and what you did yesterday simply won’t get you to where you’re going tomorrow ⚖️ The companies that can lean into this shift ⬆️ are the ones that can skyrocket into the next phase of growth 🚀 #tuesdaytip #revenueoperations #growth #leadership #team #foundationmodels

If you're in the "Valley" season right now... It’s hard. Your back is against the wall. You feel like you can’t breakthrough.. But if you are still doing your best to grow yourself and your business , what you are showing is STRENGTH. Even if it's just "I barely survived this week”. This is what leaders do. They show up no matter what. Here’s what I’ve found helps during my own down seasons… All I need is a little momentum. Micro actions that produce micro wins that give me the forward motion I need to do it again. It’s amazing how quickly you see the vision again. So no matter where you are at today. Or how frustrating it may be right now. Find an opportunity for a quick win, and action. You got this. 💯 #ignitetheleaderwithin | Follow Trevor Maloney: Helping business owners and CEO’s master the inner game, build their empire and have it all. 🚀

Nudging into 2024 with a game plan! I'm putting the final touches to the Nudge Forward Ltd game plan for 2024 today to ensure I achieve significant progress in the year ahead on my mission to inspire 10,000 leaders to achieve extraordinary outcomes (... and then maybe I get to retire!) This will include setting some SMART goals - milestones to drive my focus, activity and investments contributing to the bigger plan. Did you know SMART goals were developed by George Doran, Arthur Miller and James Cunningham in their 1981 article “There’s a S.M.A.R.T. way to write management goals and objectives”? It must be one of the most universally recognised acronyms in the business world. Your goals need to be more than just words to make them useful — they need to be SMART: 🎯 Specific 🎯 Measurable 🎯 Achievable 🎯 Relevant 🎯 Time-bound. Align them with your overall mission and purpose ... and watch your ship navigate the seas of success. No room for ambiguity, just concrete results. >> Are you ready to hit the ground running this January? >> Have you set yourself, and your team, up for success? #2024Goals #NudgeForwardLeadershipJourney #LeadershipStrategy #leadershipcoach
