Less words or more words? Which improves clarity the most? This may be an individual-specific question. I would coach people differently depending on where they land but a greater number of people, I've found, use too many words and therefore cloud clarity. What are your words about? Can you use less words? Can you help your people use less words in order to get to the real issue? This is a great 2 1/2 minute journey of learning and challenge.

Always Think from a Business Perspective, NOT a Personal One... Ever notice how personal feelings can cloud business decisions? Picture running a bakery: If you baked only what you personally enjoyed, you'd miss the flavors your customers actually crave. Approaching business challenges from a personal standpoint is like steering a ship by looking at the wake While you see where you’ve been, you won’t navigate where you’re going... Decisions should be based on what benefits the business, not just personal preferences. It's like being a coach who must focus on the team's needs, not just their own favorite plays. So, next time you're making a decision, step back and view it through the lens of the business. Think like a strategist, not just a player. #SelfDevelopment #PersonalGrowth #Leadership #CareerDevelopment #ProfessionalGrowth #SuccessMindset #ContinuousLearning #GrowthMindset #SkillBuilding #Motivation

A lot of people have great ideas, but what if no one listens? Adrian Cockcroft has been there. In this conversation, Adrian reflects on the challenge of being an individual contributor in large organizations like Sun Microsystems and Amazon Web Services (AWS). Without the authority or resources, getting things done at scale is nearly impossible. But when you have a team, your influence multiplies, and that’s when real transformation happens. It’s not about just having the right answer—it’s about having the influence to execute it. Have you ever faced the challenge of scaling your ideas without a team? How did you overcome it? #unlearn #leadership #influence #execution #organization #team #individualcontributor

Occasionally we get reminded of what we should already know. I was recently reminded of a simple way to evaluate things without letting emotions cloud my judgment. Whether it's a deal, a sale, a purchase, feedback from a manager or staff member, or needing to make a decision. As these three questions: 1. Is it Fact (do you have unbiased confirmed information on hand) 2. Is it Fiction (has this been made up, how much of a story is it?) 3. or Is it Opinion (is this just how I, or someone else feels about it) These three questions can have a huge impact on many situations where we might feel stuck in emotions or need to make a decision. Sometimes, simplicity is the key. #Decsionmaking #Clarity #Leadership #Professional
