What’s Stopping You?

A companion piece to the weekly Rise and Stride Newsletter, the Friday Footnote shares a practical tool to interrupt unhelpful patterns and generate change. User-friendly frameworks for growth, recalibration, and forward momentum.

If you don’t celebrate you, you won’t celebrate others. So, celebrating others’ successes requires leadership integrity defined by two traits: clarity about what you intend as an outcome, and behavior that aligns with that intention.

Let me unpack that….

To lead in a culture that celebrates, you must inspect your intentions, and then cultivate the other half of integrity: behavioral alignment with those intentions.

First, inspection: what are your intentions as a leader?

Try saying aloud, “I intend the members of my team / peers to…” and then add one of these eight endings:

1. Strictly comply

2. Feel secure

3. Rapidly execute

4. Grow and learn
