It's Me. It's Always Me. And If You Are A Leader, It's You Too

Leadership. Human Resources. Supervision. Process Improvement. Conflict. Resolution. Performance. Outcomes. Motivation. 

I've been doing this long enough to know that if something is not going the way that I want it to, the way that I expect it to, or just seems to be continually amiss, it is not long before it circles back to me.

You don't know how many times, or maybe you do, I've started to work through a workplace concern with my coach and ended up sitting back in my chair saying, "It's me. It's all me.  Again." 

It's at these time that I often wonder, "so, what's a nice girl from Long Island doing in a place like this?"

Seriously though, leadership is a series of course corrections and it always comes back to the leader. I shouldn't be surprised but it really is an eye opener for me - each and every time. Am I alone on this?

"Leadership is a series of course corrections." I like it. Thanks Lisa.

I really appreciate the honesty of this. You are through in the minority. Yes it is ALL about leadership but leaders have to be able to drop thier egos and see the world as it really is.

David, isn't it though? Just when you think you've got it going, a slight adjustment is needed to stay on track!
Scott, long time no connect - how are you? Still ranting?!
