EMPOWERED LEADERS - Leftovers & Giving Back


Welcome back to the Empowered Leaders newsletter, Reader,

I'm so glad you're here!

Are You Still Dealing With Leftovers, Reader?

We are getting creative with turkey leftovers in our kitchen... from turkey paninis for lunch to turkey pot pie for dinner. It is delicious, but after awhile you want anything but turkey. (just me?)

Having leftovers is a blessing of abundance in our lives... a blessing I wish for you, indeed. I hope that it finds your heart full of gratitude as it does in our home.

As the Thanksgiving holiday leaves us, we find ourselves looking ahead to a variety of festive holidays in December where we continue to count our blessings & move into the season of giving.

We find ourselves giving gifts to family, friends, and charities. There are so many ways to give back in gratitude for the blessings we find in our lives.

Do you have leftovers (excess) in other areas of your life, too?

For example, do you have a servant leader's heart, Reader? If so, I hope that you use this superpower to give back in other ways... like mentoring a newer leader or someone who is interested in moving into leadership.

Or maybe your team could use a break from the normal team meeting - instead - to discuss gratitude for what they've accomplished this year... or grace for any hardships they've been handling.

As a Leader, you can give back to yourself, too, Reader. When you are in the daily grind, you may forget to look back over the past year(s) to see what you have accomplished, how much you've grown & overcome. Or you may need to take this look back to see if you've gotten off track from your original goal and need to course correct. Give yourself the same grace or gratitude, as needed.

I Want To Give Back to You

Welcome Back, Reader Ah, the generation gap! "They don't have any loyalty." "They are disengaged with work." "They are slackers with no work ethic." Oops, did you think we were talking about Gen Z or Millennials? Nope! These were the common statements the Boomer generation used to describe Gen X when they first entered the workforce. Boomers vs. Gen X... Boomers had valued long-term employment with a single company. Gen X had grown up witnessing corporate restructuring and layoffs in the 80s,...

Welcome Back, Reader Why do we call them "soft skills"? Soft skills are “soft, until you don’t have them, Then it’s hard.” --Chike Aguh, senior advisor of Harvard University’s Project on Workforce Aguh further suggested that the process of developing soft skills is similar to getting good at sports by adding, “You can’t read a book on how to do a jump shot.” I couldn't agree more with his sentiment! Organizations don't spend enough time assessing soft skills in job candidates, and much less...

Welcome Back, Reader Do Your Employees Feel Appreciated? Or do you just think they do? "There are two things people want more than sex and money: recognition and praise." - Mary Kay Ash, Founder of Mary Kay, Inc. While most everyone would like a raise or bonus, that monetary incentive is quickly forgotten. Appreciation doesn't have to cost anything. It can be as simple as a sincere 'thank you'... verbally or written. The problem? "While more than 80% of managers THINK that they are providing...
