This is the final post in a 10-part series. See my previous posts for the first 9 lessons. Lessons on Leadership, Learned at the Dairy Queen. Part 10. Time has a funny way of smoothing the edges on things. Memories get mushed together, the specifics of situations become blurred, timelines get re-arranged. And what you’re left with is impressions. Little pieces of home movies in your mind, snippets of conversations, nostalgia that blends with reality and propels you forward. Over the past nine posts in this series, I’ve shared with you some of the stories of my time as a teenager, working Dairy Queen. All of them real, to the best of my recollection. There are dozens more stories left unwritten, at least for now. These are the stories that don’t fit neatly into a 3000-character post. You see, the Mr. R. I’ve presented in this series, isn’t as multi-dimensional as the real man; a character far more interesting IRL (as my kids would say) than the one I’ve been able to capture here. In addition to being loyal, driven, and passionate about his business; he, like all of us, made some missteps along the way. Like the summer when the red DQ-branded plastic sundae spoons with the curled cone on the handle went up in price to 6 cents a unit, when the generic brand (the “Smileys version” of spoons, if you will) were only 2 cents each. Mr. R. may or may not have had Gavin go through the trash cans, disinfect the spoons, and put them back in the box. Or the many times he ended people’s employment far too quickly. There were no Performance Improvement Plans back then, few coaching conversations. Mr. R. wasn’t always great at second chances. Back when I started this series, my inspiration was my boys, and other young people who were out looking for summer jobs. I wrote that while they were searching for positions mainly for the pay, what they may also find are the experiences that start to shape the leaders they will ultimately become. So what I would like to leave them - and you - with is this: That leadership is complex. That not many of us fall easily into a dichotomy of “good leaders” and “bad leaders”. That leadership is sometimes two steps forward, one step back. That leadership is about doing better as we know better. Know that leadership doesn’t need to wait until you get it all figured out. Embrace it now. Do the best you can with the tools you’ve got. Then sharpen those tools, and acquire new ones along the way. Leadership Lessons Learned at the DQ #10- Leadership is an art, and a science, and above all, deeply human. Kinda like Mr. R. #CHRO #Leadership

There's no point. There is no destination that will deliver happiness, peace, and satisfaction. Marshall Goldsmith says this thinking pattern is the result of Goal Obsession (Habit #21 from What Got You Here Won't Get You There). To combat the negative effects of goal obsession, he describes three elements of a great life in his book The Earned Life: ?? Aspiration - The WHY and purpose for your striving. ?? Achieve - The results of your striving are aligned with your greater purpose and bring deeper meaning to you. ?? Action - Day-to-day enjoyment of the immediate process of life and being fully engaged in what you're striving for. After listening to Marshall and Dave Stachowiak on this podcast, I'm examining my actions and attitudes to see where I'm in and out of alignment: ?? Are my priorities aligned with my values? ?? Am I taking care of my physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being? ?? Am I investing my energy in the right spaces? ?? Are my relationships nourishing and flourishing? ?? Am I contributing to something larger than myself? These questions will guide my weekend reflection and *hopefully* uncover opportunities to realign my pursuits and striving next week. How can you take the next step to reflect and examine your own striving to make sure you're giving yourself the best shot at living a happy, peaceful, and fulfilled life? #corevalues #MarshallGoldsmith #coachingforleaders

Thank you for sharing this Dave Stachowiak. Marshall Goldsmith is a renowned leadership thinker. I have often recommended his book "What Got You Here Won't Get You There" to the clients and senior executives that I partner with. I appreciate this refresh with your list of 8 key points. Most of us with a lot of experience can benefit from remembering these insights! For any leader looking for a quick summary of the book - here is a great 8 min video you can watch: https://lnkd.in/gFABBsu3

“The higher you go, the more your problems are behavioral.” That's a line I remember reading almost two decades ago when I first picked up Marshall Goldsmith's book, What Got You Here Won't Get You There. It seemed a bit counter-intuitive at the time. Haven't most people figured out how to behave once they get into leadership roles? Sadly, no. Despite everyone's good intentions, many of the conversations I've had with leaders over the last 20 years were either helping them change a behavior that wasn't working -- or navigating around a colleague's poor behavior. The good news? A leader who makes a few shifts in the right places can generate extraordinary outcomes. On this week's Coaching for Leaders episode, Marshall returned to the podcast to revisit the critical lessons from his book. We explored some of the most common habits that hold leaders back -- and how to get better. Key points from our conversation: 1. The superstition trap: I behave this way and I am successful, therefore I am successful because I behave this way. 2. The higher you go, the more your problems are behavioral. 3. Winning too much is a trap for successful people. Ask yourself, “Is it worth it?” 4. Be aware that your suggestions become orders. 5. Avoid starting your responses with “no,” “but,” or “however.” It’s hard to hear things we already know. 6. We are not here on Earth to prove how smart we are. Help more, judge less. 7. We all reinforce people who reinforce us. We hate obvious suck ups, but not the good ones. The good suck ups can fool the best leaders. 8. Beware an excessive need to “be me.” Instead, be who you want and need to be. The full transcript, audio, and notes are linked in the comments.

Do You Know a Real-Life Superhero? The Cambridge Dictionary defines a superhero as: "A character in a film or story who has special strength and uses it to do good things and help other people." My superheroes are real-life friends who do amazing things because they are survivors—and they talk about it. But what if you could be a superhero to those who count on you? We've all survived challenging or difficult events—some we're about to face, some we're in the midst of, and some we've overcome. I believe there's someone you could help by sharing your journey, but sometimes we keep silent because we haven't fully processed it or it's painful to think about. I openly discuss the challenges I've faced in my book, on podcasts, and when speaking on stage. This isn't for sympathy but to empower those who haven't yet found the courage to face their own challenges. I've lost count of those who've told me that because I shared my story, they dared to address theirs. We all live a story where we can be the narrator, but often we let others write it for various reasons. The good news is that there's a superpower you receive when you face your darkest moments. As hospitality leaders, we have the opportunity to be superheroes to our teams and guests. For me, that superpower is empathy. Ironically, I spent much of my life shunning empathy and suppressing my emotions because they felt overwhelming. Emotionally, I was still that 6-year-old boy, even as an adult. I was often the loudest person in the room—not out of confidence, but as a defense mechanism. When we grow, we give permission to those around us to do the same. The deeper we grow, the more we enable those around us to grow. We change the world by changing ourselves. The very thing we feel disqualifies us can actually empower us to lead others. Our self-awareness allows us to become the best version of ourselves. We are all imperfect—and that's a superpower because no one else in the world is exactly like us. Imagine unlocking your own superpowers and rewriting your story to inspire others. I have a program starting soon that will teach you how to: -Discover Unique Strengths -Develop Empowering Leadership Skills -Control Your Narrative -Create Lasting Impact Just as I discovered my superpower of empathy, this program will help you uncover your unique strengths. What's your hidden superpower waiting to be unleashed? I'm launching a new cohort for hospitality leaders on October 14th, and I want you to be part of it! Limited spots are available, so DM me now to see if you'd be a good fit for this transformational program. My name is Dan, and I help hospitality leaders define and align their values and purpose to design and evolve into the best versions of themselves.

We are often exposed to content discussing how failure is valuable for personal learning, but we rarely dive into why. In this podcast, Manu Kapur, author of "Productive Failure", explains how embracing strategic failure can foster sustainable growth and development for your team. Every week, our editorial team reviews and discusses top new business ideas and best practices from reputable sources. This week, we explored the benefits of failure for learning. Kapur argues that instead of passively waiting for failure to occur, leaders can intentionally design tasks that incorporate failure as a deliberate learning tool.

*How to Grow as a Leader without Burning Yourself Out* *Summary - One minute read* Leadership growth doesn't require burnout or overworking. Sanjay Khosla, a former executive turned leadership coach, suggests a focused and balanced approach to career development. First, self-reflection is key: understand your strengths, weaknesses, and goals. Seek feedback from peers or anonymous surveys to identify blind spots. Next, prioritize tasks using the "five-finger rule"—limit focus to five critical areas to avoid overwhelm. Delegating is essential for time management and skill-building. Additionally, build a "circle of influence" by connecting with mentors and decision-makers who can provide guidance and open growth opportunities. Finally, stay open to new paths and remain adaptable. Career growth involves learning from failure and prioritizing well-being to sustain long-term success. *Key takeaways* - Self-awareness and feedback are crucial for identifying growth areas and setting realistic career goals. - Prioritization and delegation help focus energy on impactful tasks and foster leadership development. *Here are some questions you can ask yourself to go further:* 1. Are you aligning your daily tasks with your long-term career goals? 2. Who in your network could become part of your "circle of influence" to support your professional growth? https://lnkd.in/gnDT-B_C *#BIOS #BringInyourOwnSoul #Leadeheartship #Leadership* Cc: Ahmadou DIALLO ?

In my latest episode of Evolve: A New Era of Leadership, I had the privilege of speaking with Dana Skaggs, affectionately known as "The Queen of Boundaries." Dana, a licensed psychotherapist with over 16 years of experience, delves deep into the essence of boundaries and their transformative power in both personal and professional realms. Dana’s practical approach to boundaries isn’t just about setting limits; it’s about fostering responsibility, trust, and emotional health. Here are some key takeaways from our enlightening conversation: ?? Understanding Boundaries: Dana emphasizes that boundaries are crucial for self-management and effective leadership. They help individuals take responsibility for their own thoughts, feelings, and actions while allowing others to do the same. ?? People-Pleasing: We discussed the common issue of people-pleasing and how it often leads to unnecessary stress and emotional turmoil. Dana highlights the importance of recognizing and stepping away from this behavior. ?? The Boardroom Analogy: Dana introduces the concept of the internal boardroom, where different parts of oneself are acknowledged and managed by the 'CEO' part, helping maintain control during challenging interactions. ?? The Hook Visualization: She provides a visualization technique to avoid getting 'hooked' by provocative comments or situations, maintaining emotional composure and focus. ?? Handling Hard Conversations: Dana shares strategies for approaching difficult conversations with calm and clarity, ensuring they are productive and respectful. ?? The Boomerang Effect: She explains the 'boomerang' effect of unresolved issues that return as intrusive thoughts and how addressing them directly can prevent emotional outbursts and build trust. ?? Trust and Boundaries: Our conversation ties into Brene Brown's BRAVING trust framework, emphasizing how boundaries are fundamental to building trust in leadership and teamwork. Dana’s insights challenge us to rethink how we approach boundaries—not as barriers, but as essential tools for healthier, more effective interactions. By implementing these strategies, leaders can create environments where trust and respect flourish, and everyone can bring their best selves to the table. To dive deeper into this conversation and learn actionable strategies for setting effective boundaries, listen to the full episode [here]. #Leadership #Boundaries #EmotionalIntelligence #Trust #DanaSkaggs #EvolvePodcast #ThoughtLeadership For more about Dana Skaggs and her work, visit danaskaggs.com.
