Leaders Are Readers

As you think forward to 2025, set a goal to be a better leader.  And a goal is useless without a plan to achieve it.  So, how can you be a better leader 12 months from now?  Habits!

1. Read a book a week (if you utilize your windshield time and apps like Audible, most leadership books can be easily finished on a few commutes).  Here are some of our favorites.

2. Get clear expectations from your boss.  Meet regularly with your supervisor to make sure you're growing.  What can you take off his/her plate?

3. Set clear expectations with your team.  Meet regularly with your team members to give feedback and delegate.  How can you help them grow?  Become an expert at delegation.

4. Don't forget the customers.  Talk to happy and unhappy customers regularly...don't lose touch with the front line.

5. Make sure your team has systems in place for all common tasks.

6. Don't tolerate bad employees.  Coach-up or coach-out.

7. Measure progress (think scorecard for yourself AND your team).

8. Care!

9. Get coaching.  Want to go further, faster?  Talk to us about one-on-one leadership coaching for you or someone on your team.
