This is the next post in a weekly series in which I attempt to answer a question from a leader somewhere in the world. Today’s Challenge is often framed like this: Great athletes have coaches, winning teams have coaches and many successful executives have coaches, should I hire a coach?

This is the next installment in a weekly series in which I attempt to answer a question submitted by a leader somewhere in the world. Today, I’ll address a question I’ve actually answered many times over the years. Today’s Challenge: How do I find a mentor?
This is the next installment in a weekly series in which I attempt to answer a question from a leader somewhere in the world. Today, I want to speak to an issue that the best leaders consider often. Today’s Challenge: What should I STOP doing?
Most of the leaders I know would tell you that the world in which they operate is vastly more complex than it was just a few years ago. With this complexity, comes a growing challenge to execute well. At the same time, competition continues to improve thus making execution even more important than ever before. As a consequence, our future success largely hinges on our ability to execute. Today’s Challenge: How do we help our team pursue flawless execution?
Each Friday, I attempt to answer a question submitted by a leader from somewhere in the world. This is part two on the topic of focus. (If you missed Part 1, here’s the link.) This week, Today’s Challenge: How do I (as the leader) maintain focus?

Today's Challenge: Team Focus
This is the next in a series of posts in which I attempt to address a question or issue that’s been submitted by a leader from around the world. Today, I want to address something that virtually every team leader has faced. Today’s Challenge: How do we help our team maintain focus?
This is another installment in the Today’s Challenge series. These are issues that a leader somewhere in the world submitted, requesting that I comment on their situation. I feel compelled to offer this disclaimer… the brevity of my remarks does not mean that I believe the answer is simple. There are obvious and inherent limitations in a 400-word post. That said, my goal is to serve you. I hope this post will do just that. Today’s Challenge: Leading up.
Earlier this week, I had the privilege of meeting with a group of outstanding leaders. Many of them are attempting to build a high-performance team like the one I described in my book, The Secret of Teams. Specifically, this group was focused on building their leadership teams. One of the first questions I received was, “How can we assess our progress on the journey?”
This is the first in a series of posts to address the issues that you’ve asked me to address. The issues I write about may not be your current challenges; but if you lead long enough, I’m guessing you’ll bump in to most of them. Today, I want to respond to the challenge of defining reality.
