“Culture eats strategy for breakfast.”
Drucker
Culture is how you treat each other along the way.
You can build “a city within a city” where your team culture is healthier than the overall corporate culture.
Decide to create a supportive team culture. Tell others exactly what you expect from them and how you want them to support each other.
How do you want your team to treat each other?

One of the best ways to get changes made is to talk about it.
Sometimes we fear having a difficult conversation. It doesn’t have to be difficult. People are generally hungry for performance feedback. Ask: “May I offer you some feedback?”
If they say yes, use the XYZ formula:
In situation X,
When you did Y,
It had outcome Z
Be specific, and clear.
The other day in the meeting with my boss, and she asked you to get that report for her (Situation X)
When you folded your arms and rolled your eyes as you agreed to do it (You did Y)
She felt disrespected, and I was embarrassed. (Outcome Z)I didn’t like that. When your boss’ boss asks for something, please respond positively with your words and your body language. If you’re unhappy about it, you can come see me later to talk about it.

#LeadYourself
We’re all swamped.
Want more time? One way to do it is to stop doing “low payoff” activities.
These are things that need to be done, but don’t give you much in return.
You can “buy back” time in your day by looking at the things that eat up your time and finding the ones you do over and over (like meeting planning) and create reusable templates or checklists to save you time and mental energy.
Today marks the launch of the fall work season. Be sure to start it off by leading yourself well.
Do you appreciate getting to work?
Work is a gift. Be grateful for the opportunity to work today.
