Don’t stay somewhere that drains your soul. 

It’s the slowest road to a life of regret:

Whether that’s staying in:

- A role you dread
- A draining relationship
- A group that holds you back

It’s never worth the cost to your well-being.

But why do we cling to places that harm us?
The main reasons often include:

↳ Feeling like we’ve invested too much
↳ Fear of what happens next
↳ Loyalty taken too far

Here’s what to try if you feel stuck in the wrong space:

1. Reflect and write it down
↳ Give yourself time to see the full picture
↳ List the ups and downs with total clarity

2. Lean on others
↳ Share your thoughts with people you trust
↳ Try online communities to see a different perspective

3. Start improving yourself
↳ Pinpoint what could help you grow from here
↳ Learn, study, or upskill for your next chapter

4. Set your timeline to leave
↳ Break down each step and set dates
↳ Track progress and adjust as needed

5. Make your exit
↳ Take action and commit to your decision
↳ Have support around you as you transition

Know that leaving won’t be simple.
It might be the toughest step you take.

But life’s too short to be stuck in resentment.

When you’re in the right space, you become:

- More energised
- More at peace
- A version of you that thrives

And who doesn’t want that?

41% of people second guess their choices daily.

Here’s how to stop wasting time 👇

A great cheat sheet from the main man Chris Donnelly 
Super useful for me as an over thinker haha ! 

It's so easy to second guess yourself when you: 

- Are overwhelmed with work
- Are Listening to too many opinions
- Don't have a system for making decisions 

This can then often lead to: 

- Delayed and inaccurate decisions 
- Missed opportunities 
- Frustration

These 7 mental models can change that:

1. OODA Loop (John Boyd)
→ A loop to help you think fast and stay sharp.
Observe. Orient. Decide. Act. Repeat.

2. First Principles Thinking
→ Break things down to raw truths and rebuild from scratch.

3. Six Thinking Hats (Edward de Bono)
→ Switch between logic, emotion, and creativity instead of mixing them up.

4. 80/20 Rule (Pareto Principle)
→ Focus on what really moves the needle. Drop what doesn’t.

5. Root Cause Analysis (Sakichi Toyoda)
→ Ask ‘why’ until you land on the real problem.

6. Occam’s Razor
→ The simplest answer is often the right one. Don’t overcomplicate it.

7. The 5x5 Rule
→ If it won’t matter in 5 years, don’t spend more than 5 minutes on it.

Now do not fear... you don't need to try all of these. 
The key part here is choosing the best one that works for you. 

Because once you can start to systemise your decisions. 
It is so much easier to make harder decisions much faster.

9 Everyday Phrases

That quietly ruin your reputation.

The worst part?
They seem harmless at first glance.

Protect how you're perceived.
By avoiding these 9 damaging phrases:

1. "Trust me..."
↳ Comes across as defensive and makes you seem less credible.
↳ Try instead: "Here’s why I believe this to be true."

2. "I hate to bother you, but..."
↳ Makes you sound like an inconvenience.
↳ Instead, say: "Is now a good time?"

3. "You wouldn’t understand"
↳ Feels dismissive and can alienate others.
↳ Instead, say: "Let me explain it another way."

4. "It’s out of my hands"
↳ Signals a lack of responsibility.
↳ Instead, say: "Here’s what I can do to help."

5. "You always..." or "You never..."
↳ Feels like an attack and shuts down conversation.
↳ Instead, say: "I’ve noticed this happening recently."

6. "Calm down"
↳ Can escalate frustration rather than ease it.
↳ Instead, say: "I get why this is upsetting."

7. "If I were you..."
↳ Can sound condescending or dismissive.
↳ Instead, say: "From my experience, this worked well."

8. "I thought you knew"
↳ Feels like shifting blame onto someone else.
↳ Instead, say: "Let me fill you in on the details."

9. "Sorry, but that’s just how I am"
↳ Comes across as stubborn and unwilling to adapt.
↳ Instead, say: "I’ll make an effort to improve."

Your words shape how people see you…
Make sure they’re working for you, not against you.

9 Common Sayings

LinkedIn is dead....

According to everyone on LinkedIn. 

Every year, people will become motivated to post on here. 
Often they'll see momentum fast. 

But then change happens...

A new format or algorithm change arrives
And often people aren't fast enough. 

They will continue to use the same techniques as before. 
And their results and motivation will start to diminish. 

But here's the brutal reality...

LinkedIn (like most social platforms) change ALL the time. 
To keep up you need to adapt fast and be very resilient.

So here's 6 tips for staying on top of the changes 
And how to adapt fast. 

1. Kill the ego 

- Understand that the algorithm doesn't care about you 
- The more sharable the content, the likely it is to perform

2. Always keep audience at the top of mind 

- Your content should always serve your audience 
- Think about the psychology of how your content stops the scroll

3. Study the best people in your industry 

- Great creators adapt fast. So follow those who adjust at speed 
- If someone changes up, check it out and break down why

4. Experiment all the time

- Do not continue to use the same format if it doesn't work 
- Treat each post like an experiment and test different variables

5. Accept things with a pinch of salt 

- There is a lot of misinformation spread on here 
- What will work for others may not work for you

6. Play the long game 

- Remember 0.1% growth compounds daily 
- Those who quit, never see the benefits

LinkedIn is not dead. 
It's dead for those who are unwilling to change.

I’ve written 1000s of LinkedIn posts in the last 2 years. 

Each post has its own objective. Let me explain: 

The key to building a large profitable personal brand 
That brings leverage to everything you do: 

Creating content across the funnel. 

- Top of funnel - High growth content
- Middle of funnel - High trust-building content
- Bottom of funnel - High conversion-based content.

Here are 15 formats of content 
To grow and monetise your personal brand on LinkedIn:

Growth: 

- In-depth broad topic carousel
- Broad topic cheat sheet
- Resources/tools post
- Reactive trend post
- Viral billboard
- Viral video

Trust building: 

- Lead magnets
- Personal stories
- Your personal tools/systems
- Reactive content with your expertise

Conversion: 

- Testimonials
- Case studies
- Milestone posts
- Niche “how to” video
- Sharing your processes

This will allow you to build an audience that is:

↳ Large 
↳ Engaged in you 
↳ Future customers

Your content strategy should directly reflect your goals. 

Want more customers quickly? 
Focus hard on MOF/BOF content.

Want to reach more people?
Focus on TOF content.

7 Crucial Productivity Mistakes 

And How to Avoid Them. 

Ever felt like you're always busy but never getting ahead?

Sometimes, it's less about how much you work.
And more about working smart instead of hard.

Those who fall into these habits
Will often feel like:

- They're always busy
- They're consistently overwhelmed
- Results seem far and few between

Break this cycle today.
Be aware of the mistakes… and how to avoid them:

1. Thinking “Busy” is Productive
↳ Just because your calendar is full doesn’t mean you’re productive.
↳ Focus on the 20% driving 80% of your results. Double down on that.

2. Neglecting Your Health to Get Work Done
↳ Sacrificing health for work reduces efficiency.
↳ Make health non-negotiable. Move daily and eat nutritious foods.

3. Avoiding Breaks to “Power Through”
↳ Powering through without breaks slows your brain down.
↳ Take regular short breaks. 5 minutes can make a big difference.

4. Trying to Multi-Task
↳ Multitasking scatters focus and overloads the brain.
↳ Focus on one task at a time for better results.

5. Trying to Achieve Perfection
↳ Perfectionism can be paralysing and stop progress.
↳ Focus on progress over perfection. Start and iterate fast.

6. Failing to Prioritise Tasks
↳ An overloaded to-do list causes important tasks to be missed.
↳ Use the Eisenhower Matrix to prioritise urgent and important tasks.

7. Having Unclear Goals
↳ Unclear goals lead to a lack of focus and drive.
↳ Ensure your goals are clear, purposeful, and urgent.

The key here:

Recognising these productivity mistakes for yourself.
As no one will fix them for you.

Remember…

Smart work will always beat hard work.

7 Crucial Productivity Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

In 2025 organic reach is down 65%. 

But the top 1% are growing 157x faster...

Find out how in our new free masterclass: https://lnkd.in/ehRvX9d9

Both Chris and Will analysed 318,842 LinkedIn™ posts from Q3 2025... 

And the results were shocking. 

The change this previous quarter has been huge. 
And you should be prepared to adapt. 

Organic reach is unfortunately down 65% 
(the lowest dip we've seen !) 

But fear not, there is still time to catch up. 

Don't guess your way to growth. 
Here's what's working in Q3 of 2025: 

The platform is changing: 

1. Median impressions are down 18% year over year
2. Normal creators are growing 20% slower since Q2
3. Suggested content is creating more space
4. Virality caps are creating space for niche content

What the top 1% do differently: 

1. Embrace different formats
2. Comment thoughtfully - 150+ meaningful conversations weekly
3. Stay consistent with quality (9/10 of views come from top 20% of posts)

THE Winning post formats (by reach multiple): 

1. Carousels (4.0x): Best results from story-driven education
2. Infographics (3.0x): Great for driving newsletter subs 
3. Motivational quotes (2.5x): Visuals need to be branded 
4. Personal Stories (2.3x): BTS pictures beat selfies 
5. Video (1.9x): great for building trust 
6. Text Only (1.0x): Must have 14+ paragraphs

Tactics to boost performance: 

1. Write conversationally: Shorter words perform 35% better
2. Structure matters: Less then 7 paragraphs = 74% performance drop
3. Length is your friend: 1.3k-3k character posts get 38% more reach. 
4. Post on the Weekend: Sunday posts see highest reach
5. Reach isn't killed by externa links: 3+ useful links get 236% more reach 

And the crazy part is...
This is just a sneak peek of what's happened.

Most people will never reach 10,000 followers.

Here’s why that happens:

They don’t realise LinkedIn mirrors real life.
It’s all about persistence and adaptability.

People watch creators skyrocket in growth...
And assume they blew up overnight.

The truth is completely different.

This is how the journey really unfolds:

1. You define your core topics and have buckets of ambition.
2. You then start posting and put yourself out there.
3. You engage daily in comments and start to build a community.
4. You follow LinkedIn advice from gurus who can't back it up. 
5. And finally you give up when it doesn’t click instantly.

It can be an insanely brutal process. 
But if you stick at it...

This happens too:

✅ You analyse what actually gets results and learn.
✅ You restart and apply the lessons to go again.
✅ You then double down on what works for you. 
✅ Then the growth starts happening.

🏆 And you become a recognised name in your space. 

It’s a wild ride.

And the algorithm is always evolving.
So you’re constantly forced to adjust.

But that’s why LinkedIn rewards those who stick it out.

How’s LinkedIn going for you right now? 
Drop your thoughts below.

♻️ Repost to help those struggling on LinkedIn 
And follow Josh S. for more!

LinkedIn is full of job updates and education. 

So, today I'm a do it differently... 

I've grown from 5,000 to 153,371 followers in 2 years. 

And I've not really shared much about who I actually am. 

So here's my introduction. 
(without info about my job hehehe) 

I'm Josh. 
I live in London. 
I like silly lil tattoos.
I constsantly question myself.
I have a black cat called Lausse. 
I'm am 25 years young (26 soon oop).
I got a black belt in taekwondo at 14.  
I prefer 1 deep convo over 10 small talks. 
I love hearing and telling terrible dad jokes. 
I'm currently in my mid twenties running crisis. 
I did a degree in entrepreneurship and innovation. 
I have a mild obsession with Chess (yet I kinda suck) 
I was ranked 3rd in the UK at football freestyle at 17.
It's taken 2 years, but I feel surrounded by the best people. 

I would now love to get to know you guys more :) 

Drop 1 random fact about you in the comments ! 

Have a great Friday legendsss

So I think I'm about to do the most stupid thing I've done. 

And I'm really not ready for it... 

Running 10k every single day for 30 days.

Here's the story: 

A few days ago I was chatting to my good friend Angus Parker about my total running KM for the year. 
I had done just under 700km. 

(Not bad for something I've been doing just for my silly lil brain health) 

But something annoyed me... 

I was 300km off of a wonderfully round 1000km. 

I then thought "how hard could that be in one month?" 
After few quite delusional afterthoughts, I thought why not go for it. 

And so... December300 is born. 

10k a day, every single day, until the end of the month. 

Now I don't just want this to be a personal challenge for me. 

I want to invite anyone else who wants to do it with me! 

If you're game, feel free to comment "Join" on this post. 
And I'll pop you a DM with the link :) 

I also want to make this super fun, so...

If you're:

- London based
- Don't want to do the full challenge 
- But would like to join me on one 10k run

Feel free to drop me a DM ! 

If running isn't your jam, but you'd still like to support. 
I'm also raising money for Shelter UK.

Super nice cause and so important, especially around these cold winter months. 
Feel free to donate here: https://lnkd.in/eSWvNyiU

Anything is genuinely deeply appreciated <3 

I have no idea how this will be for me tbh. 
But MAN I am excited for the challenge. 

Because for me, December is usually a slow month. 

So I'm ready to fully send it 

Am I gunna snap my hamstring within the first few days? 
What do you think? XD

Let's get it people ! 

♻️ Any repost to spread the message would be amazinggg

Ps recognise anyone from my current running squad?? 🔥

Stop wasting hours building presentations manually.

(There's an AI that does it in minutes)

If you're still wrestling with PowerPoint and GPT...
You're making it harder than it needs to be.

There's a smarter way that you may not have discovered:

Gamma

Think: AI presentation wizard that actually gets it right.

Here's what makes it different:

✅ Describe your idea → Complete deck appears
✅ Professional design without the design skills
✅ Smart content suggestions based on your topic
✅ Export ready for any platform

And has a brand new agent called Gamma Agent 
Which genuinely speeds up time so much!  

Here's how to build your next presentation with Gamma
And take advantage of the new Gamma agent: 

1. Head to gamma.app and create your free account
2. Hit "Generate" and describe your presentation
3. Add context → "Sales pitch for new consulting service"
4. Set your preferences (slide count, tone, length)
5. Pick from their curated theme library
6. Choose visual style that matches your brand
7. Review the AI-generated structure
8. Make quick edits using the Gamma agent
(I will legit just use the agent to sharpen a lot of the slides). 
9. Export and you're ready to rock and roll. 

In 10 minutes, you've got something that would've taken hours in PowerPoint.

Pro tip:

The more specific your initial prompt, the better Gamma performs.

Instead of "marketing presentation"...
Try "Q4 marketing strategy review for executive team focusing on social media ROI"

This is how I handle my presentations now.
No more fighting with templates or spending ages on slide layouts.

Have you used Gamma? If so, what do you use it for?

♻️ Repost to help your network not lose out on this incredible resource

I've helped Chris Donnelly grow from 180k to 3 million+ 

All whilst running a 7 figure cohort business... 

Let's be real: 

Building a business and posting every day is f*cking hard. 

It's exhausting and for most founders is the first thing to drop. 

Yes, the benefits of a personal brand are incredible. 
But you also have to be consistent for a very long time. 

Which sucks.

But there is a way to do it. 
And it all comes down to one skillset...

Strategically using AI. 

And no, I don't mean using ChatGPT to write your whole post
(Claude is way better for that... kidding :p)

But learning the processes and strategies for using AI tools, 
To save you buckets of time in the long run. 

Whilst keeping your authentic voice and style. 

And me and Chris Donnelly will be sharing how to do that at 4.30 pm (GMT) today! 

So if you're looking to: 

- Increase your content output 
- Use the right tools for high quality
- Decrease time spent looking at a blank screen

I recommend grabbing your spot.

I've taken hundreds of courses, trained for decades, and hired dozens of coaches... so you don't have to.

Loyalty to a company is a trap.

Loyalty to your growth isn't.

(I learned this the hard way)

I used to think company loyalty would save my career.
I was dead wrong.

🚨 Top performers are NOT always safe.

Here's why:

1. Your skills have a shelf life
↳ What's in demand today might be useless tomorrow
↳ Learn one new skill every month - plan ahead

2. Your job isn't as safe as you think
↳ Companies cut costs, not feelings
↳ Keep an emergency fund - 6 months of expenses

3. Work friends can't save you
↳ Your network matters more than your resume
↳ Connect with one new person every week - offer value

4. Your boss won't level you up
↳ Waiting for company training? You're already behind
↳ Invest in yourself. It's the best ROI you'll ever get

5. One job is a risky bet
↳ Don't put all your eggs in one career basket
↳ Start your side hustle. It could be your safety net

6. Think like an owner, not a worker
↳ Drop the employee mindset
↳ Start thinking like a growing business
↳ Always ask: "Where can I add more value?"

7. Playing it safe won't build your career
↳ Invest in short-term pain for long-term gain 
↳ Take calculated risks - they compound over time

So:

✅ Do your best work
✅ Be thankful for your job
✅ But never stop investing in yourself

Because you're the CEO of your career.
No one cares about your growth more than you do.

Leaders, you have 2 choices:

Talk over everyone ❌
Make space for ideas ✅

Command authority ❌
Share real power ✅

Control meetings ❌
Empower their voices ✅

Take all the credit ❌
Let them shine ✅

Shut down ideas ❌
Amplify their voice ✅

Force compliance ❌
Trust their expertise ✅

Play favorites ❌
Give fair chances ✅

The hard truth?

A manager leaves you:
Questioning yourself.
Doubting your worth.
Feeling small.

A leader leaves you:
Ready to rise.
Owning your power.
Trusting your potential.

These are the warning signs:
"Others can handle it..."
"We're like family here..."
"I'm actually helping you..."
"I'm just being direct here..."
"Maybe you're too sensitive..."

That's the difference between:
↳ Taking space vs giving it
↳ Proving power vs sharing it

I spent years talking status and chasing importance.

Until someone showed me:
↳ Empty rooms echo loudest
↳ Filled rooms build futures

So now I shut up and listen.

The result?
Our team has never been more efficient.
Productive. Inspired. Empowered.

Drained by Negativity at Work?

6 Epic Mindsets I've Used To Find Opportunities

Let's be real.
Negativity is everywhere. 

As an ER doctor, I'm no stranger to it.
Toxic co-workers, stressful situations, and self-doubt.

It's easy to get weighed down and lose motivation.

If you're not proactive. You'll get stuck reacting.

So, I offer these mindset techniques to my patients in distress.
They work quickly if you give them a chance.

I've been told that they're power-ups.
They are your reset button.

Try one out today:

1/ The Negativity Parking Lot Technique 
 ↳ When negative thoughts start circling, visualize a parking lot
 ↳ Park each negative thought there until later
 ↳ Now your mind can refocus on what matters
 
2/ Use the 360 Perspective Shift
 ↳ Remind yourself that other people's negativity is about their struggles
 ↳ Empathize from a more objective, impartial lens
 ↳ Now you have a bird's eye view of the situation
 
3/ Try Gatekeeping Your Emotions
 ↳ Choose which thoughts and emotions to entertain
 ↳ Negativity is an unwanted visitor you can turn away
 ↳ Turn your self-talk into empowering affirmations
 
4/ Schedule Positivity Pauses
 ↳ Take 5-minute recharging breaks every few hours
 ↳ Do something uplifting - breathwork, quick walk
 ↳ This keeps your positive energy reserves full
 
5/ Use the Gratitude Jumpstart
 ↳ Each morning, find 3 things you're grateful for
 ↳ This prepares your brain to spot the positive naturally
 ↳ Your mindset becomes an attitude of gratitude

6/ Create a Feedback Formula
 ↳ Turn negative feedback into an opportunity
 ↳ Every critique becomes a chance to improve and expand
 ↳ Now, your mistakes turn into an improvement plan

I tell my patients:
We don't know how much time we have left.
But we each have 86,400 seconds in a day.
Don't surrender yours to anyone. 

Stay proactive.
Guard your attitude.
Seize your opportunities.

Which mindset will you try?

When work takes over life, burnout WILL take over.

5 ways to take back control:

Work-life balance is an illusion. There’s only life.

It took me 15+ years as a doctor and entrepreneur to see this. 

The real cost of burnout:
↳ Diminished output
↳ Stifled innovation
↳ Lost purpose

So, how do you get your life back?

1) Master Strategic 'No'

Every yes costs you somewhere else.

Be selective with:
↳ Last-minute "urgencies"
↳ Tasks that don't drive results
↳ Commitments that drain you

2) Define Your Lines

Non-negotiables:
↳ Work stays at work
↳ Quiet evening hours
↳ Clear communication
↳ Technology-free meals
↳ Protected personal time

3) Ruthless Focus

Question everything:
↳ Can this be delegated?
↳ Is this aligned with goals?
↳ Does this move the needle?
↳ Focus on impact over action
↳ Eliminate the unnecessary

4) Strategic Breaks

Daily renewal:
↳ Fresh air, movement, quiet moments

Deep recovery:
↳ Quality rest
↳ True disconnection
↳ Meaningful connections

5) Design Your Day

Your schedule, your rules:
↳ Sleep is sacred
↳ Work has limits
↳ Structure serves you
↳ Self-care is scheduled
↳ Energy drives decisions

____

It's the same in both medicine and business:

A purposeful career supports a meaningful life.

✅ Rest deeply
✅ Build systems
✅ Choose carefully
✅ Guard your time
✅ Focus intently

The truth is:
You're essential at home.
At work, you're a resource.

Technical skills get you hired. Soft skills tell how far you'll go.

After 15+ years leading medical teams and companies, I've learned:
Skills gaps stall career, not technical limits

The good news?
These patterns are predictable and fixable

Here are the critical soft skills that make or break high performers:

1/ Time Management
🛑 Always late to meetings or deadlines
✅ Use time-blocking to prioritize tasks. Every minute counts.

2/ Communication Style
🛑 Dominating conversations without listening to anyone
✅ Actively listen by summarizing others' points

3/ Handling Feedback
🛑 Getting defensive when receiving criticism
✅ Ask for specific examples to improve performance

4/ Stress Management
🛑 Becoming overly frustrated under pressure
✅ Practice stress-relief routines, like deep breathing. Pressure reveals character.

5/ Teamwork
🛑 Only working alone and rarely collaborating
✅ Offer to help others with projects and brainstorm ideas

6/ Conflict Resolution
🛑 Not addressing issues, hoping they'll disappear
✅ Address conflicts directly and share your concerns

7/ Emotional Intelligence
🛑 Not read the room or hear other perspectives
✅ Ask others about their challenges. Critical in high-stress environments

8/ Problem-Solving
🛑 Escalating issues without trying solutions
✅ Suggest multiple ideas along with problems

9/ Creativity
🛑 Sticking rigidly to old processes
✅ Find new and creative ways to work

10/ Continuous Learning
🛑 Never updating your skills or knowledge base
✅ Dedicate 30 minutes daily to relevant news and education

11/ Networking
🛑 Avoiding events and not interacting with people
✅ Have lunch with a different colleague each week

12/ Professionalism
🛑 Gossiping and speaking negatively about coworkers
✅ Redirect negativity to problem-solving. Gossip destroys trust.

13/ Self-Motivation
🛑 Needing constant supervision to stay on task
✅ Break projects into manageable tasks with real deadlines

14/ Leadership
🛑 Micromanaging and struggling to delegate
✅ Trust based on strengths and give autonomy. Trust your team or lose them.

The difference between a boss and a leader? 

The words they choose.

After 15+ years leading teams across industries,
I noticed one crucial thing.

Your words WILL make or break your team's culture.

Powerful leaders use these phrases to build trust in their team:

🗣️ Tell me more about that
↳ Show genuine interest and curiosity

🗣️ What can I do to help?
↳ Show you're there to support the team

🗣️ I believe in you
↳ Inspire their confidence and motivate

🗣️ Let's figure this out together
↳ Encourage their solutions and teamwork 

🗣️ I hear what you're saying
↳ Show you are actively listening

🗣️ We need your voice
↳ Encourage their diverse perspectives and ideas

🗣️ What do you think we should do?
↳ Empower team members to contribute

🗣️ I appreciate this
↳ Acknowledge their hard work

🗣️ Your effort made this happen
↳ Recognize your team and give credit

🗣️ I trust your judgment
↳ Empower others to make decisions

🗣️ That was my mistake
↳ Take responsibility and avoid blaming your team

🗣️ What did we learn here?
↳ Focus on their growth without blame

🗣️ Show me how you would do it
↳ Show you respect them enough to listen

🗣️ What are your career goals?
↳ Show you care about their professional growth

🗣️ I am here for you
↳ Show you support and care about their wellbeing

Remember, the best leaders don't just inspire with their voice. 
They lead with their actions.

The #1 leadership myth that's holding you back...

(This took me many years to learn.)

...is that you need one leadership style.

🚨 A one-size-fits-all leadership style WILL destroy your career.

The best leaders I've met shift gears based on their:
↳ Team
↳ Business
↳ Situation

Here's a practical guide to lead like a high performer:

(and when each style is most effective)

1/ Visionary Leadership:

↳ Inspire others by showing a clear and exciting future
✅ Use it to drive long-term change and innovation
❌ Not for day-to-day operations or problem-solving

2/ Bureaucratic Leadership:

↳ Follow strict rules and procedures to maintain order
✅ For regulation and compliance
❌ When flexibility and innovation are needed

3/ Pace Setting Leadership:

↳ Set high standards and lead by showing how it's done
✅ To get quick results with a highly skilled team
❌ Inexperienced, unmotivated team

4/ Commanding Leadership:

↳ Give clear, direct orders without a long explanation
✅ For crises where quick action is critical
❌ Experienced teams that need autonomy

5/ Servant Leadership:

↳ Put the team's needs and growth first
✅ Building loyal teams and long-term development
❌ Situations that need quick, decisive action

6/ Charismatic Leadership:

↳ Inspire others with charm and clear communication
✅ To motivate teams during uncertainty
❌ When specific expertise is needed

7/ Democratic Leadership:

↳ Include your team's input in decisions
✅ To build consensus and team buy-in
❌ When quick decisions are needed

8/ Coaching Leadership:

↳ Coach your team to grow their skills and performance
✅ To build a strong, skilled team for long-term success
❌ When you need quick results or are in crisis

9/ Delegative Leadership:

↳ Let the team decide and manage their tasks
✅ With skilled, motivated team members
❌ Inexperienced team that needs guidance

____

P.S. 

The right question isn't what's my leadership style?

It's what does my team need right now?

Master this and you'll be the right leader for the job

Stop asking people for "thoughts" or "feedback."

15 Questions high performers aren't afraid to ask:

Over 18 years of leading critical care and business teams,

I’ve noticed high performers often ask deeper questions.

15 questions that encourage problem-solving and better results:

✅ "What big thing are we not talking about?"
↳ When avoiding a tough topic
↳ Bring up hidden issues everyone's scared to mention

✅ "Who might we upset by this choice?"
↳ When needing quick results
↳ Think about how changes affect others

✅ "What went wrong last time we did this?"
↳ When trying a risky idea
↳ Learn from past mistakes and avoid repeating them

✅ "If money weren't a problem, how would we do this?"
↳ When the budget is tight
↳ Think big and find creative solutions

✅ "What might we be wrong about?"
↳ When everyone agrees
↳ Challenge assumptions and avoid groupthink

✅ "Who else should be part of this talk?"
↳ When key people are missing
↳ Include important voices and perspectives

✅ "What do we risk if we do nothing?"
↳ When the team is afraid
↳ Show the risks of not taking action

✅ "How does this help our big goals?"
↳ When the project is off-track
↳ Refocus the team on what matters

✅ "What's the worst way this could fail?"
↳ When planning a big launch
↳ Prepare for potential disasters

✅ "Who might fight against this idea?"
↳ When suggesting a big change
↳ Anticipate and address resistance

✅ "What skills do we need but don't have?"
↳ When facing a tough challenge
↳ Find gaps in the team's abilities

✅ "How will we know this didn't work?"
↳ When starting a new project
↳ Plan for failures and set clear goals

✅ "What if this works better than we expect?"
↳ When things are going well
↳ Plan for unexpected success
