Day 22/30 #Movember - Grow a mo, save a bro Today's leadership insight = "The person you choose to marry is one of the most significant decisions of your life." Your choice of a life partner is pivotal because it shapes the emotional, logistical, and psychological framework of your life, influencing how you experience success, failure, and everything in between. Just as choosing the right team members or collaborators is critical for success in leadership, choosing the right life partner is foundational for personal happiness, stability, and growth. Both decisions involve trust, alignment, and shared purpose. -- Throughout Movember, I will share a leadership insight with the LinkedIn community each day.

Day 28/30 #Movember - Grow a mo, save a bro Today's leadership insight = "If you're not at the table, you're on the menu." If you're not part of the decision-making process, decisions may be made about you, not with you. Leaders must actively engage in conversations and decision-making forums to represent their interests and those of their team or organization. If absent, they risk losing influence over outcomes that directly affect them. Leadership involves being a voice for your team, ensuring their needs and concerns are heard. Being "on the menu" implies others are deciding your fate without your input, potentially to your disadvantage. Participating "at the table" fosters accountability and influence over strategic directions. It emphasizes the necessity of proactively earning and maintaining a seat at key discussions to drive results and protect interests. -- Throughout Movember, I will share a leadership insight with the LinkedIn community each day.
