Compassion

To receive compassion, you need to give compassion. This is the act of practicing compassion. Like anything, the more you practice the better you become at the act. Small acts of care and concern make a difference.

This week, take a few seconds at least once a day to be kind and demonstrate that you care. Asking ‘how are you doing?” and really listening or “Can I help you?” are acts of compassion. Taking a few moments to listen instead of texting can show that you care.

At the end of the week, see how you feel after you practice compassion. My guess is you will feel good!

Overcomplicate

Do you overcomplicate? In multitasking fast paced environments, too often we make things more complicated than they need to be.  Be clear about what needs to be accomplished.  What outcome are you desiring?  What problem are you trying to solve?  What issue needs to be addressed?  Prioritize what needs to be done first – if I do this other issues will be addressed.  Don’t get sidetracked – stay focused.

Energy

Have heard or maybe said, “This job sucks the life out of me”.
Good leaders are energy managers. Energy is managed - like food for fuel for the body. Leaders create and manage energy to fuel their followers.  They draw energy and they expend the energy of followers.  They must regulate how to dispense energy.  If they are expending too much energy and not providing energy to followers, then burnout is a result.  How is your leader managing your energy?
