Leading with Honor Tip – “How can you coach yourself to be more situationally aware?”
Quick Coaching Tip from Leading with Honor – “How can you coach yourself to be more situationally aware?” Here are 3 critical ways:
– Know Yourself. Understand your strengths, struggles, and patterns of your natural behavior. Have you found yourself with someone who told stories or information that wasn’t relevant to anyone but them? Their mind is wandering as if they’re on cruise control. Bumping into clueless people happens often, doesn’t it?
– Know the Situations that Threaten Good SA. Examine your response at work with your manager and your team. Is your tendency to dominate or withdraw? How could you better manage your SA and engage to respond more effectively? I worked with one team where the manager avoided any disagreements or conflict by dominating the meetings. The manager just talked incessantly until everyone was worn out and disengaged.
– Be Proactive in Your Thinking. Set aside your own emotions or thoughts in the moment, and think about others and consider what might be going on with them in certain situations. Ask good questions to gain more insight. Then, coach yourself to respond in the most effective and appropriate way.

On This Day in Leadership History, November 29, 2015
On this day in leadership history in 1961, The Mercury-Atlas 5 spacecraft was launched by the U.S. with Enos the chimp on board. The craft orbited the earth twice before landing off Puerto Rico.
What’s the leadership lesson? Find the courage as a leader to do the thing that you’ve been putting off—lean into the pain of your fear to do know what you know is right. Don’t let a chimp up-stage you!

On This Day in Leadership History, November 22, 2015
On this day in leadership history in 1963, U.S. President Kennedy was assassinated while riding in a motorcade in Dallas, TX. Texas Governor John B. Connally was also seriously wounded. Vice-President Lyndon B. Johnson was inaugurated as the 36th U.S. President.
If you were living in 1963, where were you at this moment in history? And more importantly, how can you lead others today that will ensure that your honorable leadership legacy will live on? It’s investing in the lives of people.
