WHAT LEADERSHIP HABITS ARE WORKING FOR YOU?

“Habits are the compound interest of self-improvement.  Getting 1% better every day counts for a lot."                                                                 -James Clear 

For a long time, I promoted the power of well crafted, SMART goals.  I implemented that strategy regularly in helping clients pursue leadership excellence.  Now, I realize that all goals have an endpoint and habits can last a lifetime.  Since your leadership practice is meant to carry you into retirement and beyond, focusing on habits seems like a better approach.  Formulating new habits is not easier, just more rewarding and offers daily focus.  

Sample Habits:

4 days a week before breakfast, I will write in my leadership journal for 

5 minutes sitting in my favorite chair.

3 times a week at bedtime, I will tell my daughter a short story about a female leader who has been largely forgotten or ignored by history.
