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.’
