Win.Lose.Learn.Correct.

You’ll win big. You’ll also lose big. Both are great learning opportunities as a leader. You will make amazing and transformative decisions to push your teams forward. And sometimes you’ll make mistakes that’ll cost you time, resources and money. How you conduct yourself on both sides says alot about who you really are at your core. Take the time to observe your actions in your biggest moments, the wins and failures. Both may need corrective action. Sunshine and rain are both necessary for growth. Having all of one without the other is how we experience drought and floods. Learn the value and damages of both. Understand balance, value and purpose. Correct when necessary.

Remove the cancer.

Leaders, one person can impact the entire productivity and morale of your team and organization. Because that’s what cancer does. It starts small. It’s invades and begins to kill the good things around it. If you notice that gossip, low morale, decreased productivity or high errors are occurring on your team. Look at yourself first. Then start checking on those that you’ve placed in leadership roles.

Here are 3 tips to remove the cancer:

1. Offer anonymity to staff members. Allow them to share their experiences to YOU. Do not allow anyone else to read their comments. YOU make sure to keep that trust between you and your team.
2. Be open. Be willing to hear the truth and hold yourself and your team accountable. Be open to recommendations and feedback. Sometimes the truth hurts.
3. Fire… fast. Every single termination is HARD. No matter how many times you have to do it, it never gets easier. Removing the cancer quickly requires tough decisions. Have objective reasoning and your facts in order. But getting rid of it as quickly as possible prevents more damage.

Teams work when everyone shares the same goal. So if someone is not in alignment with that goal, they aren’t good for the team. Remove the cancer.

Happy new year everyone. I’m your Coroner, Naida Rutherford and I work for you. I’ll be sharing more on preparing, planning and living fully in 2024. Nothing is promised, LIVE today.

Matching pajamas are so cute. But that’s all you’ll have, if you don’t have your name in the will. Please make sure to get it in writing. If you live with someone or you’re in a long-term relationship with someone and your name is not included on their bank account, the deed to the home or in the will you may end up heartbroken, homeless, and broke 😳. Long term relationships do not equal legal next of kin status, even if you have lived in the home for many years. GET IT IN WRITING!
