Last week, I attended a wrap party for "The Night Before Christmas in Wonderland" and met Gerard Butler in person. I find the whole team and him to be quite inspiring, especially in terms of leadership. Here’s how it might translate into leadership lessons: 1. Authenticity and Charisma Gerard Butler is known for his genuine, charismatic presence. As a leader, this reinforces the value of being authentic—showing your true self can inspire trust and loyalty in your team. 2. Resilience and Adaptability Butler’s journey from law to acting, and his ability to navigate diverse roles, demonstrates the importance of adaptability and perseverance. Leaders can take this as a reminder to embrace change and overcome setbacks with determination. 3. Passion and Dedication His dedication to his craft, from intense role preparation to connecting with fans, highlights the importance of commitment. As a leader, bringing passion to your work can motivate and energize those around you. #bethechange #leadership #empathy #management #inclusiveworkspace #unconsciousbias

Day 2: Holiday Leadership Lessons - Is your team as ecstatic to see you as Buddy the Elf was to see Santa? Okay.......maybe we can't expect them to jump up and down and scream your name, but we can be a leader that people are excited to be around! What leadership traits can we learn from Santa: 🎅 Santa had a CLEAR MISSION and VISION of spreading joy and he INSPIRED others to do the same. 🎅 Santa's success depended on his elves and his reindeer. He DELEGATED important tasks, EMPOWERED his team, and TRUSTED it would be done. 🎅 Santa shows up every year without fail! He is CONSISTENT in his actions. 🎅 Santa tailors each gift and personalizes each interaction. He UNDERSTANDS the STRENGTHS of his team and places them in the right spot, just like putting Rudolph right up front with his shiny nose. 🎅 Santa is delivering millions of gifts each year, which takes a lot of PLANNING, and ADAPTABILITY so he can handle unforeseen challenges. 🎅 Santa exudes WARMTH, KINDNESS and POSITIVITY, and the elves felt valued and appreciated. Be a leader that fosters a spirit of collaboration, trust, and joy, and maybe someone will be as excited to see you as Buddy the Elf was to see Santa. https://lnkd.in/e98g2zrX

Here are 12 Timeless Truths for the day after thrilling victory or an agonizing defeat. My new post is up at this link: https://buff.ly/4fgNGWx #Election2024 #Leadership #EmotionalIntelligence

Emotional maturity is a cornerstone of leadership success. Reacting with anger towards colleagues or subordinates rarely yields positive outcomes. One of the greatest lessons I've learned from M.S. Dhoni is the power of staying calm and composed under pressure. His ability to maintain a cool demeanor, even in the most challenging situations, is truly inspiring and worth emulating. By fostering emotional intelligence, we can build stronger, more resilient teams and create a more positive, productive work environment. Let's strive to lead with patience, understanding, and grace. #Leadership #EmotionalIntelligence #MSDhoni #WorkplaceSuccess

This morning I re-watched the stunning performance of Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs singing Tracy’s original song, Fast Car. I admit that I am someone who can be so emotionally attached to a moment through music—and this one felt really,really special. It’s a beautiful song, a beautiful cover, and a stunning duet. But what really made it special was the unspoken conversation and relationship between Tracy and Luke in that moment. Luke’s cover track was building on an amazing song and he found his own identity and success building on Tracy’s. Tracy who has been out of the spotlight for some time, was radiating pure joy through her face, and Luke was giving her the space to feel that joy and to honor it. There is so much to learn about how we can build on the success of others and create moments of great accomplishment for ourselves, and how the best versions of that success are when we make space for the foundation upon which it was built. When we think about organizations or companies who transition their leaders, the most successful leaders make space to honor the foundations built by those who came before them, and remind everyone that there is space for us all to share the spotlight. Take a few minutes to watch and let me know what you all think?! #grammys #monday #leaders #leadership #popculture #thoughtleadership

ReLIVing Jay Monahan's decision to merge the PGA while watching Full Swing Episode 2.2. If you were the PGA Commish, would you have made the same decision without any communications with your main constituents, the PGA members? Why would the chief executive unilaterally make this historical decision especially for a membership-based organization? Did he knowingly make the decision given the sure resistance he would face so he forced it through? Is this type of leadership suitable for the chief executive role? Or is the "My Way or the Highway" the new normal? #pgatour #livgolf #pgalivmerger #decisionmaking #communicationskills #stakeholdermanagement

🌟 Leadership Wisdom from Lou Holtz 🌟 Anyone who knows me knows I'm a huge Notre Dame fan ... thus a big Lou Holtz fan. I've been guilty of getting bogged down in the complexities of starting and running a business lately. I needed a break one evening so I threw on a video of Lou Holtz doing an interview with Joe Buck (https://lnkd.in/dxvawcXD). It gave me a much needed reminder that often the best thing we can do is take a step back and go back to the basics ... to keep it simple. His three simple yet profound rules can serve as a powerful guide for all of us, no matter our position: 1. Do the right thing - Integrity and honesty aren't just words; they are the foundation of trust and credibility. In every decision we make, doing what is right should always be our guiding principle. 2. Do your best - Excellence is achieved through relentless dedication and hard work. By consistently striving to do our best, we not only achieve our goals but also set a standard of excellence for others to follow. 3. Show people you care - Genuine empathy and respect can transform relationships and build a strong, cohesive team. When we show that we truly care about others, we create an environment where everyone feels valued and motivated. #Leadership #Integrity #ProfessionalGrowth #LouHoltz #Inspiration
