Leadership Moment: Check Your Vision

It is good to be back in the office today after a huge week in Sunriver. Some of you might know that we just finished The Building Champions Experience, which is the real crown jewel event for our company. It consists of four days of business and life coaching with over 225 attendees, and it‘s a ton of fun for our team!
During the Experience, there are main-stage lessons and small breakout sessions on topics ranging from life planning to exceptional customer service to best practices for strategic thinking. With this wide range of topics, there was one question I was asked more than any other during the week, and it is the basis for this post.
“How have you assembled such an amazing team of caring and incredibly talented people?”

25% Fun

Last week I sent a few Tweets from Colorado Springs where I was facilitating an executive retreat with a wonderful group of clients. If you happen to follow me on Twitter, you may have seen this picture of me with a sweet Rainbow Trout in my hands. The caption read, “Fun executive retreat today!”
I got some interesting comments after sharing that picture. I heard everything from “You charge for this?” to “What a boondoggle!”
Today, I want to share my observations about excellent leadership, magnetic cultures, respectable results, and fun.
Conflict: Friend or Foe?
Tuesday, April 20th, 2010
This post is dedicated to my friend Patrick Lencioni. His fantastic model for teamwork in his bestselling book The Five Dysfunctions of a Team helped me to better understand the value of conflict. I strongly suggest you read this book.
In The Five Dysfunctions, Patrick says that many teams struggle with the fear of conflict. They do not understand that conflict in the pursuit of truth and improvement is a good thing. They believe it to be mean and bad, instead of loving and beneficial. This struggle exists not only in the workplace, but also in marriages and other close relationships.
If people are not equipped to engage in healthy conflict, then they either fight in unhealthy ways or they hold back their feelings and impede the growth of those around them.
