Start With A Win

Hey leaders – yes, I’m talking to you; we’re all leaders in some way – don’t get lost in the rules. In fact, let’s go ahead and ditch the rules that hurt rather than help. Want to know which ones get under my skin the most? I reveal my top three and share leadership lessons for how we can all benefit from redefining our approach.

On this episode of the Start with a Win podcast, Adam shares with us the 3 ways he has found that leaders fail, and the ways to avoid or adjust these behaviors:

  1. Becoming a “me” person rather than a “we” person – This issue ultimately stems from an unhealthy ego that values personal gain over the good of the team. Leaders must remember that one of the main sources of their success is the contribution of the members of their team and their mentors along the way.
  2. Ordering people to do things rather than influencing them – Ordering your team members to do things results in lower quality and forced results, but influencing them brings them into the process, allowing them to buy in and want to do the tasks or projects before them, which means better results for the team as a whole.
  3. Burning your bridges rather than your boats – Work together to solve problems and face challenges and your team will have the commitment necessary to “burn their boats” with you, but be sure to avoid destroying relationships (“burning bridges”) in the process.
