When things are going well, don’t get too comfortable. Be happy. But pay attention to what is going on.

Pay attention to what is working for you. Pay attention to what is not working. Don’t ignore what is not working for you. Instead, ask yourself, ‘Am I missing something?’

In business, according to Chip Higgins, ‘Maintaining momentum for your business means consistently working on moving forward and remaining dynamic.’

‘The question is, what direction do you want to take your business in? And how fast do you plan to go- or, in the business sense, grow?’

‘When you invest in the skills and leadership development of your workers, you are showing them you care about their own growth and aspiration; you’re feeding their energy.’

‘By being honest and vulnerable about the why of your business, you can help determine if you’ve got the energy needed for entrepreneurship.’

‘Low vibrational energy is simply not sustainable.’

‘By inspiring your employees, you’re building that entrepreneurial energy in them too.’

Because ‘great leaders allow others to contribute their valuable energy and then channel that energy as needed (for example, toward customers).

‘Hiring isn’t enough: consider how team members are bonded. You want them closely united in their pursuit of a shared vision and mission.’

‘You don’t want to scale up at the expense of customer satisfaction.’

‘When organizations move too fast, they tend to become unmanageable.’

‘Our perception of things changes dramatically when we’re moving quickly.’

As A Leader, Your Moment Is…

As a leader, when it comes to your success, every moment is important. If you want to catch it, you have got to be there.

You are there when you are physically, mentally, socially, and psychologically present.

When you show up, your moment is, according to John Cross, Rafael Gomez, and Kevin Money, ‘When you respond quickly to changes in circumstances and adjust working hours and individual work allocations to achieve the maximum possible team output for the period.’

‘When you allow your people to influence and shape their objectives and resist setting them unilaterally.’

‘When you identify and communicate your view of the output potential for the next period and then reorganize resources to deliver it.’

‘When you invite others to contribute to your solution, thank them, and then acknowledge their contributions publicly.’

‘When you break down your team’s activities into easily understood components and conduct or commission a detailed examination of them for efficiency savings.’

‘When you seek input in order to highlight possible adverse knock-on effects brought about by new initiatives in order that they may be mitigated.’

‘When you devise and promote your own powerful story headline to challenge and change the status quo.’

‘When you focus your time and energy on the people who will be first to change, because they in turn will change others in your absence.’

‘When you fit requests from colleagues to use your time into your schedule and not into their schedule.’

‘When you talk yourself into a more positive frame of mind by counting your blessings both at home and at work.’

‘When you abandon the attraction of being liked and instead focus on both individual and team output.’
