Every leader must have a target they want to hit. Often, this target is simply referred to as a “vision.”

As far as I’m concerned, leadership cannot be separated from vision.

Leadership is a tender balance between relationships and results. So what undermines effective meetings?

We must learn the difference between what is necessary and what is expendable. A leader is a broker of talent, time, resources, people, energy and money.

This is one of the most relevant issues for leaders today. People ask me regularly how I handle my calendar, with all the travel and projects that occur.

Most of us have never been trained on how to lead a productive meeting or how to get the most our of your team members. Often, meetings with committees are challenging and unproductive.

Leaders are expected to produce. These ambitions aren’t wrong, but with unhealthy motives, leaders fall into a trap. You could call it a “performance trap.”
