Leadership – How it Impacts Performance
By AdminAJ 
This month we are focusing on Performance and how Leadership plays a critical role in its success.
Why it Matters
Leadership is the most important ingredient to increase the performance of any organization.
You can tell the level of leadership by the overall success the organization is generating. They are producing consistent, repeatable, and reliable results.

Leadership and performance go hand in hand with trust. The more leaders both demand and demonstrate their trustworthiness by being sincere, competent, reliable, and involved, the better results they will see from employee performance.

- Integrity (Sincerity) – How well do we follow through on our promises?

- Involvement – How well do we show up for meetings to participate fully?
Answer the questions above and start building trust to improve performance, a key tool to being a great leader!

Effective Meetings are a Cornerstone of a High Performing Culture
By AdminAJ 
Great leaders understand the importance of team meetings, the impact on culture, productivity and the understanding that producing a great meeting takes intentional design and deliberate effort.
Why it matters
An effective team meeting helps teams align on the topics of discussion, air any concerns or obstacles, and have clarity on future actions.
This is fundamental in creating your High Performing Culture.
Leadership Insights
Improving the effectiveness of team meetings is one of the most important things a manager can do as a leader. It’s surprising how many managers are proud to proclaim their dislike of meetings, but to generate action, achieve significant results, solve problems, make decisions, inform, inspire, collaborate, and motivate, managers need to work with their people!
Leadership Strategy
Don’t delegate the agenda planning to another team member. As the leader, it’s your meeting to design and run. To put yourself in the proper frame of mind, ask and answer the following question:
1. What kind of meeting is it? (i.e.: Check-in, strategic etc.)
2. After this meeting are actions being generated?
3. Are my team members clear about how to collaborate well to get the results we are looking to co-create?
