Bad leadership hurts people as much as results.

Malpractice in leadership disciplines & organizational health is felt by others professionally & personally.

You owe it to people trusting you as well as your desired legacy to be intentional in ongoing leadership development.

[Scott Prickett @mscottprickett]

Employee alignment & engagement requires dialogue to discern what they do and don’t agree with that they will advance in your absence.

Leadership measured when leader not present.

What they do with what you want when you aren’t directing it will reflect alignment & engagement.

[Scott Prickett @mscottprickett]

Know yourself to lead others.

Know how you impact others.

Embrace & govern negative tendencies to increase influence.

Influence depends on people impact more than your good intentions do.

Pay attention & adjust to people’s responses in order to increase leadership impact.

@tedolson Thanks, @tedolson

[Scott Prickett @mscottprickett]

If they’re never good enough, you’re never content with you.

If there is always better, bigger, & next invalidating today, joy & gratitude will be distant.

Regret will pile up with bodies in your wake.

Appreciation, respect, & trust are choices that serve you and others.

[Scott Prickett @mscottprickett]

New week, new opportunities to advance in the greatness within your unique design.

As you start the week, remember the last significant thing you know that called to you.

No regrets, no comparison, no complaints, just forward motion towards things that matter.

Starting now.

When you lead with integrity you won't always win but you will always do the right thing.

[Scott Prickett @mscottprickett]

I have a quick wit that serves well in court.

When used for good, it brings hope & encouragement.

All too often, I let it get hijacked.

Cynicism, sarcasm, & criticism indicate a hijacking.

Perhaps I’m not the only one?

Choose words wisely. They bring either life or death.

“If we don’t trust one another, then we aren’t going to engage in open, constructive, ideological conflict.” @patricklencioni

Eliminating artificial harmony, elephants in the room and the meetings after the meeting is a leadership responsibility.

If you want to WIN the big Game you must start by winning the small days! Win Today! #WE

[Scott Prickett @mscottprickett]

Leadership is a journey with no shortcuts.

The marathon of influence is consistency of service to, investment in, respect for, & appreciation of people.

People are a constant; you can’t do it without them.

The variables to overcome require a people focus first and always.

[Scott Prickett @mscottprickett]

Sustainable leadership impact is rooted in identity & healthy authority.

Know yourself to lead others. Accept your faults to do the same for others. Orchestrate teams that complement & collaborate.

Know how to follow and sacrifice to know how to lead. Work for their benefit.

[Scott Prickett @mscottprickett]

You’re not as good of a leader as you think.

Don’t let your strengths & good intentions fool you.

Remaining in a cycle of feedback & development mitigates negative tendencies.

Reality forms from consequences of your limitations as much as it does from your strengths.

[Scott Prickett @mscottprickett]

Influence grows as leaders:

1) invite agreement w/ vision
2) initiates respect,
3) rewards contributions,
4) invests in people’s potential,
5) sacrifices for the benefit of others.

Influence trumps authority, but requires humility, intentionality, & continuous development.

[Scott Prickett @mscottprickett]

@mikesharrow Yeah, that’s very next level 😎

[Scott Prickett @mscottprickett]

If you don’t really want to know what your team is thinking, they can tell.

Can you respect messages about the good, bad, & ugly of your leadership & organizational health?

If not, don’t ask.

But you have to ask, so better get yourself to the right frame of mind & humility.

[Scott Prickett @mscottprickett]

Markers set out to memorialize accomplishments are reminders of proven capacity to encourage continuation.

They are not definitions of identity nor validation of entitlement.

Don’t settle for the safety of part experience.

Stay on the adventure that promises greater potential.

[Scott Prickett @mscottprickett]

Do you unapologetically lead from your strengths but relentlessly require others work on their weaknesses?

Orchestrating a collaborative team should release the gifts and abilities in individuals while collectively covering for each other’s limitations.

[Scott Prickett @mscottprickett]

In the army, the most important part of an order was “commanders intent.”

If they know the intent, they can figure out how to get it done.

Deploy talents by giving them the intent, releasing them to figure out the best “how.”

Collaborate as needed without micromanaging.
