Success means a lot of different things to a lot of different people, but there is one simple practice that will increase the likelihood of success no matter how you define it.Do what you say you will do.Not what you promise to do. Not what you swear on the lives of your children you will do. Not what you make a solemn oath to do.Just do what you say you will do.When you tell someone you’ll be there at 9:00, be there at 9:00....

Kati Capozzi likes to ask a deceptively simple question: How do we get to yes? It’s an approach that has shaped a career built around finding a way forward—even when the obvious path is blocked.Kati is President and CEO of the Alaska Chamber, where she represents hundreds of businesses and works alongside a remarkably diverse group of leaders and subject-matter experts.In this conversation, we talk about her journe...

This one is a little bit embarrassing.I started playing the drums when I was 12. The son of a drummer and pianist, I suppose it was only a matter of time.38 years later I am a competent drummer who is very comfortable with what I can (and can’t) do with the instrument.It feels good to be good at something but, if I’m really honest with myself, I haven’t actually improved as a drummer in about 20 years.That feels a...

At 20, Joey Barranco was offered the kind of job most people would call a no-brainer. He turned it down.Not because he was already winning, but because he believed in what he was building.That bet paid off.Joey is the owner of Mary’s Rose Creative Services, a documentary and brand film company he grew from a young guy with a camera into a studio serving some of Alaska’s most recognizable organizations.In this conve...

When the snow started to melt in the spring I discovered a leak in my camper.To make matters worse, I couldn’t find the source of the leak.I examined the roof and other surface penetrations and applied copious amounts of sealant even though none of the seals seemed compromised.The leak persisted. I was exasperated.And then it dried up. An entire summer of sun and rain transpired and not a drop of water found its way insi...

Now that I’m 50 I have lots of things I never thought I would have.Like a personal philosophy about mowing the lawn. I’ll save you the long version and just say that I set my mower as high as it goes even though it means cutting it a little more often.Years ago I cribbed this philosophy from a YouTube video in which a lawn enthusiast was extolling the benefits of this approach. Along the way he fielded a quest...

If you’re reading this, then I’m probably still alive.I’m writing this essay from the lobby of an urgent care facility to get some help with a minor medical malady. I hadn’t planned on spending my morning here, but here is where I am. I expect you’ve been in a similar situation.A morning like this is usually the moment when you realize one of two things:1. My team is actually quite capable of...

Someone on your team isn’t sure where they stand.They might need a reminder of what they are doing right.They might need feedback on an opportunity for improvement.They might need a high five to let them know you appreciate their contributions.They might need you to care enough about their success to hold them accountable.They might need clarity about where they can have the greatest impact this week.They might need a reminde...

In one of my favorite sequences in the Mission Impossible movie franchise, two characters find themselves handcuffed together in a tiny, but incredibly high-performance car as they attempt to elude capture. One character is our hero Ethan Hunt who literally does this for a living. The other character is Grace, a clever pickpocket who has been pulled into this escapade without any background in high-speed car chases.With Grace ...

Your friends, family, and even the people you lead are the supporting cast in YOUR story.But don’t forget that you are a part of the supporting cast in each of THEIR stories.This matters because we are incredibly prone to focus too much on the US of it all. I like to say that I’m selfish because I’m the only one that never leaves. No matter where I go, there I am.Being inescapably present with yourself might ...

The people you lead don’t need another friend.But they do need someone who is invested in their success.They don’t need a buddy. They don’t need someone who cares more about being liked than being effective. They don’t need someone who will validate all their frustrations and tell them they are infallible.They need a leader who wants them to be successful, even if it means telling them something th...

Entropy is what we call the tendency for everything to trend toward chaos.In incredibly basic terms, it means that things that aren’t nurtured fall apart.Stop going to the gym and your muscles begin to atrophy.Stop practicing golf and your skills begin to diminish.Stop watering your lawn and green grass becomes brown.Stop encouraging and correcting your people and performance will regress. So will trust.Nothing stays as it is...

Once upon a time I had lunch with a CEO who wanted to reinforce the importance of taking a lunch break to his executive team.Over time it had become more and more common for these leaders to grab a quick bite at their desk or skip lunch altogether and he felt it was important they prioritized shutting their laptops for a few minutes each day to refresh their minds and feed their bodies.I asked him what he was going to do about it a...

If my guess is correct, you were probably a kid when you were growing up.If so, there’s a decent chance you did what most kids do and found yourself running UP the DOWN escalator at some point.It seems like such a good idea as a kid, but as an adult I don’t need that kind of wasted effort in my life.And neither do the people you lead.The next time you feel compelled to ask your people to work harder, I want you to consi...

My wife’s family is absolutely nuts.But to be fair, so is my family. (Sorry mom)And to be fairer still, in ways that I can’t quite put my finger on, my household is nuts too. Here’s why:Most people inherit traditions and preferences about things from their families. Which is great.But problems arise when we start interacting (or marrying) people who grew up with different traditions and different preferences....

You’ve seen it happen in front of you, like a train wreck in slow motion, but are you doing it too?Most of us face a choice from time to time. A choice that directly impacts our ability to lead well, but can be blinding in the moment and prevent us from seeing clearly.It’s the choice between being RIGHT and being EFFECTIVE.It’s the choice between a short term win (I told you so!) and long term success (I didn...

If you share food with my dog you will find he has absolutely no chill.Whatever you give him goes in his mouth and down his throat with nary a millisecond in between. It’s like he’s in a race to get as much food as he can get from you, but never takes a second to enjoy what you give him.He doesn’t savor a single bite.And your fast-paced professional world might feel similar.It can seem like there isn’t ...

If you're looking for a reason to quit, you'll find it. If you are looking for a reason to keep going, you'll find it. If you are looking for a reason to maintain the status quo, you'll find it. If you are looking for a reason to blow the whole thing up and start over, you'll find it. If you are looking for a reason to believe this is as good as it gets, you'll find it. If you are looking for a reason to be...

If you want things to be different than they are, change something today. The time it takes to span the gap between where you are to where you want to be is predicated on how quickly you change your behavior.Those who are willing to experiment with new habits today will enjoy progress today. Some habits will stick, others will be proven ineffectual, but these experiments will move  them across the chasm. Those w...

This isn’t a post about baseball, it’s about leaders who are emotional terrorists.Yankees star right fielder Aaron Judge is one of the least visibly emotional players in the league.Whereas one of his predecessors (and current Yankee broadcaster), Paul O’Neill, used to kick water coolers and yell at umpires when he was frustrated by a substandard performance — a quirk which endeared him to fans — Judge ...
