Budge

Should leaders be tolerant of things done substandard? 
​The answer is absolutely not! We should push for excellence in everything we do. But, there are some below the surface issues that go along with that short and simple answer that may not be so short and simple.

We have been led to believe the biggest enemy of good is bad. Turns out, that is not accurate. We are endlessly tempted by the good. So much so that it is what we pursue and settle for often. However, good is not what will get us, our leadership, or our organizations where we want and need to be. There is so much more we might be missing out on. ​

There is no question that you are going to face obstacles in your life and leadership. There are two things that hold us back from being the best version of ourselves. Those same two things are the biggest obstacles we will face. What are those obstacles and how do we navigate them? In this episode, we will chat about it and expose those two things while looking at choices we can make to move us past them. 

What can we learn from great performers? They all have a few things in common that might surprise you. Those qualities they have can transfer to other parts of our life and leadership.

Sometimes we believe that the big things are what makes the difference in life and leadership. Turns out, that is not necessarily accurate. However, there is a little thing that will make a difference in our life, leadership, marriage, parenting, physical health, emotional health, mental health, team and culture. It is a little thing that packs a big punch. Join us to fid out how this small characteristic that can be developed to make a tremendous difference. 

Developing your leadership is a constant process. It is a process in which the information you get from the event is practiced. Everything in life happens like this…awareness, practice, habit. You become aware of a thought or idea, you practice that though or idea until it becomes habit. Are you practicing the right things so that the right things become habit? Are you intentionally developing your leadership to become the leader you want and need to be? In “The Venti Leader,” we will chat about what that development could look like for you. And, what it may take to build capacity to become a Venti Leader!

Have you ever said anything and as soon as you said it you knew you shouldn’t have said it? Have you ever heard someone complain about something only to find out they didn’t have the whole story to begin with? Have you ever been frustrated, irritated or angry with someone for something and then found out you really didn’t have enough or the right information to justify your irritation? If you answered yes to any or all those questions, this episode is for you! And, if you have a team of people that seem to do the same thing, this episode is for them. 

In this 13th episode, we will reexplore the principles of Budge and chat about how leaders continue to improve their influence to make a difference in the lives they are responsible for. And, we will chat about what holds leaders back from moving on in their leadership. Some leaders are satisfied to maintain, but effective leaders are not…they continually move.  
Don’t miss this challenge! 

Leaders who are effective at leading are learners. If we are going to learn effectively, we have to be curious and ask questions. Everyone has something they want to know more about, but sometimes they don’t ask. What questions do you have about leadership, team, people, etc.? Your questions will guide this episode.  

We all have a middle BLANK issue! We have something we want to accomplish in, with and through people in our… 
leadership, marriage, parenting, coaching, sales approach, friends, etc.  However, we can't seem to get it done because the other person won’t BLANK! Enter the middle BLANK issue!
​
The question is not why won't they stop doing that, the question is how do I lead them through and beyond that?
