Are you aware of when your your motives pivot to needing to “Be right or righteous” vs being curious?

From a state of presence, leaders hold their positions lightly, with curiosity and a genuine desire to learn.

From a state of fear, leaders hold tightly to their ways of seeing an issue and the world. 

They are invested in being right and often rooted in righteousness. 

This keeps issues recycling in drama.


✴️ Exercise:
Think of an issue you’re dealing with today. 

👉🏿Can you see where you’re clinging tightly, wanting to be right about something?

👉🏿Would you be willing to be more interested in learning than in being right?


Exploring How Opposite of Your Story Might Be True:

👉🏿Conscious leaders choose over and over again to explore the possibility that the exact opposite of their story could be as true.

👉🏿Once they do this, conscious leaders step out of all the drama surrounding proving how right they are and start learning new things because they are actually curious instead of invested in their story about events.

✴️My favorite tool for exploring how the opposite of our story could be true is Byron Katie’s “The Work.” Use these simple steps to investigate your beliefs and free your mind -

Workload isn’t just about how much work people have, it’s about how work is experienced ⚖️

When workload is misaligned, the risks show up quickly: burnout, disengagement, and turnover. But equal task distribution isn’t the answer. 

⌛The McLean & Company  HR Guide to Measuring Workload outlines how to use workload measurement to uncover real challenges and apply targeted interventions that improve productivity, wellbeing, and engagement.

I’m Danny Langloss, and like you, I’ve spent the past 20 years on the front lines leading in the trenches. Throughout this time, I’ve learned that leadership is not for the faint of heart. It’s complex and challenging.

As a detective sergeant, I had to keep my team motivated and empowered despite the burnout caused by long hours and traumatic incidents. We created a resilient team that consistently outperformed their peers and were energized to serve victims and their families.

When I was promoted to police chief, I inherited a toxic and divided culture. Through vision, listening, clear expectations, and strong leadership, we created an inclusive culture and became one of the most desired places to work in the region.

Later, as the City Manager, I joined a fractured and siloed team that lacked purpose, connection, and direction. Within months, we created a team united through purpose, fully committed to delivering their best for our community. Today, this team is guided by the values of “Commitment to Excellence” and “Here to Serve.”

𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗪𝗘 𝗕𝗘𝗟𝗜𝗘𝗩𝗘:

We believe leadership is the driving force behind meaningful impact. Great leadership transforms vision into reality, overcomes challenges, and inspires others to succeed. It shapes not only the goals we achieve but also the quality of life and success of those we lead, making leadership development more critical now than ever.

𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗪𝗘 𝗗𝗢:

We help leaders unlock their competitive advantage, THEIR PEOPLE. We train and empowers leaders to create cultures where psychological safety, belonging, purpose, and ownership thrive. We do this by integrating proven leadership mindsets, principles, and strategies grounded in authenticity, connection, and impact and equips leaders with the skills to bring these things to life.

𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐖𝐄 𝐃𝐎 𝐈𝐓:

We bring our purpose to life through executive coaching, transformative workshops, long-term leadership programs, keynote speeches, and the Leadership Excellence Podcast.

Leadership isn’t about changing the world. It is about changing someone’s world. 

Great leaders are built in the small moments, the quiet ones, the moments where no one applauds. 

They are built in day to day interactions with their teams. 

They are built through consistent behaviors that align with vision, purpose, and values. 

They are built through the powerful skills of empathy, curiosity, and listening. 

This past Friday I had the honor of presenting the closing keynote for the Student Empowerment Conference hosted by our Regional Office of Education. The day was all about giving students a voice. 

125 high school freshman to seniors came together from schools across 3 counties. After our opening activity, you could have heard a pin drop in the auditorium. They were completely dialed in. 

The core single takeaway: Leadership is how we make people feel. 

Every interaction, we are driving an emotion, leaving a stamp on our team members. 

These stamps will create trust, confidence, empowerment, ….

Or they will create the opposite emotions. 

The key is being intentional about what kind of emotions we want to create in our people. 

I call this the Emotional Stamp. 

Have you ever thought about it this way? 

How do you drive positive emotions in the people you serve?

If fear or doubt weren’t a factor, what bold step toward growth would you take?

This is just one of the 10 powerful questions from our “Coaching for Growth: Leveraging the Power of Appreciative Inquiry for Game-Changing Results.”

This model builds confidence and creates ownership by focusing on:

- Strengths
- Peak experiences 
- Future Possibilities 

Instead of gaps and deficiencies. 

The day began with powerful questions in 2 person teams and led to the creation of SMART goals. 

It has been energizing to watch this statewide leadership team come together as “One Team” and create championship cultures across all regions in the state. 

Thank you Bill Pappas for trusting me with your team. 

Quick question: 

How are you developing your team? 

How are you working together to shape and create the future?
