Best Laid Plans

I just love this image.  It is so true.
One thing that Leadercast 2013 will focus on is simplicity - what is it that makes your leadership work.

One of those things, I am sure, is to that leaders move from Plan A to Plan B to Plan C and even beyond because they are constantly connecting things together and pulling them apart and then putting them back together to make the better, simpler, smarter and more.

When you build a plan, you most likely have a back-up because you have been thorough and thought through obstacles or risks, people factors and much more...so stay cool - even with what you have already invested, the next step will be great.

Genius

In his book Stand Out, Marcus Buckingham talks about your Genius - the inherent part of you that makes you who you are - unique, different and totally cool.

You have to know that your genius is really who you are.  It is also important to understand that your genius when connected to that of others certainly can make your team, your results and your continued growth explode on a trajectory you never before could have imagined.

Take time to assess, over the next few days, what you do that is different or special or unique that really makes you Stand Out.  Your genius is the way you reach conclusions, solve problems, take things in and give them back in new ways.  Honour this for the week.
