Leadership Made Simple
A new course toward your degree. A new job or a new diet. That book you were reading. Your workout. New Year’s resolutions. A business plan. Your life plan. A relationship. Attending church. Getting out of debt. Quitting smoking.
You were doing great – then you weren’t. What happened?!
What causes us to give up on our goals? Why do we so readily abandon our dreams? How can we just walk away?
If you want to improve your leadership and your relationships with your team, this post is for you!
It’s Cyber Monday in the United States and many online retailers are offering special discounts on their products. So I want to extend a very special offer to you for my popular One-on-One Meeting Guide and Template.
This month my vision for serving and supporting leaders took a huge step.
In just a few moments, I’ll share the tool and process with you that me and my team used to develop and accomplish our vision. But first…
For several years, I have been working toward launching an annual leadership experience for leaders. Like most endeavors, we’ve made a lot of progress at times. And there were times I thought this part of my vision would die.
We’ve received some great feedback on the NEW One-on-One Meeting Template since we released it.
If you missed the announcement, you can read it here – One-On-One Meetings that Work – NEW Template!
WOW! Super helpful! Great guidance and practical strategies. As someone who participates in a weekly meeting with my supervisor, this will be a powerful tool to help me guide the meeting better from my side of the desk. Chad Miller, Finance Manager

The perfect study guide before you have a meeting with your boss. You’ll be prepared for anything! Lee Tomlin, Associate Director, BBFI
I really like the meeting agenda for team members that you provide as a part of the guide and template. And love the idea of more frequent one-on-one meetings, especially for the purpose of assessing work flow. TJ Ward, Lead Pastor

Often they’re an intriguing mixture of both.
After spending several years studying executive leadership teams, interviewing scores of executives and managers, analyzing thousands of data points, and writing hundreds of pages on the topic, I found that most working groups truly believe that they are a real team.
Yet most of these “teams” struggle because their leaders and members are not functioning as a real team.
There is ONE fundamental question that you must answer to be effective in your work…
