The Secret to Effortless Leadership


Howdy, Zack here.

Why do some leaders make 'it' look easy?

In my coaching practice, Top Teams, we discuss the six S's that Top Leaders do better than most:

  1. SOLIDIFY | build strong foundations
  2. STRATEGIZE | plan & iterate
  3. SIMPLIFY | reduce complexity
  4. STICK w/ IT | plan our work / work our plan
  5. SHAPE | lead the way
  6. SERVE | our circle of impact

It's one thing to list these abilities, but how can you embody them?

​

Here's a roadmap I share with my clients:

3 STEPS

  • Take a Mental Assessment:
    Rate yourself on each quality honestly.
  • Do It, Even When You Don't Feel Like It:
    Implement Mel Robbins' 5-Second Rule.
  • Build a Culture of Top Leaders:
    Foster these qualities in your team and organization. You'll grow faster, together.

​

Just remember:
To become a Top Leader, live out the 6 S's daily, even when you don't feel like it, and soon enough others will wonder how you and your team make 'it' look easy. 😌

How We Scale β€’ Stop

Howdy, Zack here. Stop it. Stop doing the things that aren't working for you. Sound too simple? Well, it's not. It's one of the hardest things to do. Yet, funny enough, once you've done it, you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner. You know what's not working for you. Ugh, lump in my throat. I have a few that come to mind right now. It might be eating too much, not working out, wasting time on social media, getting caught up in drama, focusing on big world issues (like politics), or pretty...

Howdy, Zack here. I love you. Yes, you. And, that love is not conditional. We all have our faults. I know when I've been at my worst, that I need others' love the most. Unless you've been living under a rock or you've intentionally disconnected (can't blame you), you've seen the effect of deliberate division β€” the recent assassination attempt on former President Trump. No matter your political beliefs, this sort of hatred has no place in our world. It stems from the polarization of our...

Howdy, Zack here. When will it be time? We often wait for that perfect 'when' β€” the moment everything falls into place. But what if 'when' is actually right now? As a dad of triplets on the brink of their senior year, time feels more precious than ever. Everything has been one-and-done for us. Before long, my wife, Gwen, and I will be seeing our 3 off to college. Thus, each moment matters more. Can you relate? When certain chapters come to an end, we tend to feel the gravity of our decisions...
