Building a Scrappy Mindset

Building a Scrappy Mindset

Hamilton Lindley July 25, 2021 LeadershipLeave a comment

We want the underdog to win because we want to see something unexpected. And it’s impossible to beat that feeling of winning a fight when all the odds are against us. It’s why stories like David and Goliath resonate. A victory feels much better when the odds are stacked against you.  Scrappy …

Finding Motivation After You’ve Lost It

Hamilton Lindley July 17, 2021 LeadershipLeave a comment

Some days, motivating myself is tricky. No amount of inspirational posters or caffeine can inspire me over the slump. So how can we keep going on even when we don’t feel like it? Researchers have discovered strategies. They recommend setting intrinsically satisfying specific goals. Reward yourself in the right way …

Don’t Let Rules Suffocate Productivity

Don’t Let Rules Suffocate Productivity

Hamilton Lindley July 12, 2021 LeadershipLeave a comment

Productivity is the key driver of our society’s wealth. Since 1950, our productivity has plummeted, while our rules have increased. Standards of living are doubled when productivity increases just three percent per year. When it increases by one percent per year, it takes three generations. Regrettably, the number of procedures, …

Good Leaders Aren’t Too Busy

Good Leaders Aren’t Too Busy

Hamilton Lindley June 29, 2021 Influencing / LeadershipLeave a comment

What’s your plan to not be busy? Can’t answer that? That’s why you’re so busy. “I can’t. I’m busy,” I said that way too often because I thought I was building a better future for my family. It also made me feel important because I was needed. But over the …

Make Going Back to the Office Worth It

Hamilton Lindley June 21, 2021 Leadership / PersuasionLeave a comment

The changes the pandemic created will remain long after the pandemic is over. According to a recent study, most workers will work from home about 20% of the time. That is an increase of 400% from 2019. Employees said that working from home was a perk worth 7% of their paycheck.  …

Building Trust Requires More than Dependability

Hamilton Lindley June 14, 2021 LeadershipLeave a comment

I was asked by a consultant what I thought about a guy that we will call Bill for anonymity’s sake. I told him that I struggled to trust Bill. The consultant was surprised. After all, Bill kept his commitments. He didn’t act deceitfully. I shared that Bill didn’t practice what …

When to Trust the Process Instead of Data

When to Trust the Process Instead of Data

Hamilton Lindley June 7, 2021 Influencing / LeadershipLeave a comment

I am a data geek. I love it because data is objective, free from individual influence. Two plus two is four. I can’t just tell you that it’s nine. You wouldn’t believe me. You’re no fool. But what if the numbers are right, but the analysis is wrong? When does …

What is Important about Self-Awareness?

Hamilton Lindley June 1, 2021 LeadershipLeave a comment

There was a dog that stumbled into what seemed like an abandoned house. It barked, but there was no answer. The dog went up the stairs and saw dozens of dogs sticking out their paws just like him. “What a nice place!” thought the little dog. “I’ll come back whenever …

The Future of Middle Managers

The Future of Middle Managers

Hamilton Lindley May 23, 2021 LeadershipLeave a comment

Being a middle manager is kind of like being in the middle seat on an airplane. It’s uncomfortable in both directions. We’ve got to take strategy from above and communicate it into tasks for front-line workers. Then we need to provide advice to the workers about how that’s going, and …

How to Stop Worrying at Work

How to Stop Worrying at Work

Hamilton Lindley May 18, 2021 Influencing / LeadershipLeave a comment

I worried all the time. The only thing that I didn’t worry about was worrying too much. Ironically, worrying too much was exactly the thing I should have been concerned about. I thought it was just part of everyone’s nature. But it doesn’t have to be. If you’re anxious all …
