2 Leadership Topics That Keep Me Awake at Night
/What keeps you awake at night?

I thought about this question <lying awake one night> and two topics, drawn from my dog-eared pages of HR From the Outside In, were clearly top of mind for me: trust and delivering results.
First, there can be no leadership or professional impact without trust. Second, the quality of a relationship alone is not enough to develop and susatin credibility. Credibility is based on business contribution.
I value my sleep so I was thrilled to be able to get out of my head and into the airwaves on Drive Thru HR with hosts Bryan Wempen and William Tincup. What's so great about these lunch time conversations is that Bryan and William take me in new directions and leave me thinking after my 30 minutes are over. We covered ground on:
- Delivering results v. being busy
- Being reactive v. proactive
- Time management and meeting
- Aligning results with goals
- What it would take for HR to be disruptive
- Building trust and organizational values
Listen and learn why my new leadership mantra is "don't coddle me."
