When We Break The Rules

There are always exceptions to rules that should be broken when the time and place require it. But the majority of the time, the rules are there to guide us and ensure we are all operating within the same parameters that will help our team grow and develop. If one person is always breaking the rules they are sending the clearest of messages that the rules don’t apply to them. And if the rules don’t apply to them, the question your team will start asking is – why do they apply to us?

The Team Meeting

The team meeting is the most hallowed of all meetings. It is a gathering of the minds of your team and the greatest opportunity for you to lay out the plans for the week and hear from your team about what they are doing, where they are struggling, where help is required, and most importantly where you can reassure them. Don’t ever show up unprepared for a team meeting, it’s your single, greatest tool in your toolbox.

Our Inner Narrative

There is an inner monologue that plays on a loop within us on a daily basis. It is our narrative, the story we have written, but never put to keyboard or paper. Our narrative forms our worldview and when they are challenged, we push back. Why? Because that narrative has guided our life, our career, and our well-being for as long as we can remember.  We have had back and forth conversations with our narrative where our success rate is 100%. Our narrative is designed to handle small, incremental change because that’s how it works, big change doesn’t go over
