3 Surprising Ways Leaders Are Optimizing Their Performance
At TLI, we believe all leaders benefit from optimizing their performance. As shared last week, there are many benefits to optimizing how you are working as a leader: increased focus, ability to innovate, increased impact and influence, improved performance, and feeling much better. If you can imagine yourself being optimized, what would be different for you? How would being at the top of your game (in the ways you define that for yourself) while also being grounded, present, focused and highly effective benefit you?
5 Powerful Outcomes When You Optimize Your Leadership
As you navigate the chaos and change that most leaders are facing, you may be asking yourself, “is there another, better way to lead that doesn’t deplete me?” At TLI, we believe there is, in fact, a better way to lead. We believe that when leaders are fully optimized, they are able to experience leadership in a completely new way without the overwhelm, frustration and challenges that seem inherent in the role.
Top 3 Proven Leadership Strategies for Igniting Innovation and Transformation
In the words of Steve Jobs, “Innovation is the ability to see change as an opportunity – not a threat.” How do you see change? What about innovation? Innovation is what separates the companies and leaders that survive from the ones that thrive. It's what allows businesses to adapt to change, stay ahead of the competition, and create new opportunities. Transformative leaders are the ones who inspire and motivate their teams to think outside the box and take risks. They create a culture of innovation where everyone feels safe to share their ideas and collaborate on new solutions.
5 Reasons Why Most Leaders Fail to Create Transformation
Have you ever found yourself wishing for transformation? Or do you feel your organization needs or expects transformation? Now more than ever, leaders are tasked with the challenge of making bigger, more impactful and lasting changes. As stated by Bryon Robinson in a Forbes article concerning the current outlook on burnout, over 4 million American workers quit their jobs each month in 2022 and according to data market reports by Gitnux, 70% of working professionals feel that their employers don’t do enough to prevent or alleviate burnout.
How to Make Transformation Your Superpower
In the aftermath of a pandemic, change is far from unfamiliar. You may have seen modifications to your work space, your routine, and work culture as a whole. But despite change being all too familiar, how much of this change is truly transformational?
5 Qualities You Need to Be a Transformational Leader
In a recent Harvard Business Review article on transformational leadership, David Lancefield and Christian Rangen said, “leaders who want their organizations to meet this moment and succeed long-term need to move away from the status quo and change their approach to how they’ll lead the necessary transformations.”
3 Leadership Blindspots That You May Not Know You Have
Do you find yourself repeating patterns that do not serve you? Have you been given feedback by your team and/or manager but are not able to make the changes you know you need to? You may have a leadership blind spot that is holding you. At Tenacious Leadership Institute, we define leadership blind spots as “an unconscious thought, belief or habit that is driving your behavior and presents in your daily leadership activities as a weakness, obstacle or hindrance.” Most leaders operate with at least 3 - 5 unidentified blind spots that are holding them. The good news is that when they are identified and addressed with an executive coach trained in working with blind spots, they are able to shift them over time.
How Positive Neuroplasticity Can Help You As a Leader
With the current leadership challenges you are facing these days, it can feel like so much is out of your control - the economic landscape, the changing world of work, unprecedented levels of ambiguity and climate change. Yet, there are many things that are within your control, more than you imagine. Epictetus, the philosopher, once wrote, “learn to distinguish what you can and can’t control. Within our control are our opinions, aspirations, desires, and the things that repel us. They are directly subject to our influence.”
3 Ways Tenacity Is Different Than Resilience (And Why It Matters for Leaders)
Many leaders participated in resilience training during and after the pandemic. While that is definitely important, resilience is actually only the tip of the iceberg to allow you to bounce back after adversity. In our work at Tenacious Leadership Institute, we’ve witnessed the power of tenacity in leadership and feel confident when saying it is a more suitable and fruitful path than simply building your resilience. Working with over 83,000 leaders around the globe, we have found that it is actually leadership tenacity that creates a strong foundation for action, decision-making, collaboration and results. I’d like to invite you to consider developing your tenacity which is a more proactive, sustainable approach to how you lead and live.
3 Ways Tenacity Helps You Navigate an Inflection Point
As leaders, inflection points can be the most challenging things to navigate. You understand how critical it is to make the right decision at the right time. Otherwise, the consequences could be dire. At Tenacious Leadership Institute, we focus on building a deeper sense of tenacity (our definition includes presence, focus, commitment, determination and renewal) to ensure that you are successful at inflection points and with any other changes you may need to lead.
