Drop a Bad Habit Today

What Habits Drive You Crazy ?

Great leaders are always looking for ways to improve themselves personally and professionally.  This continuous effort of self-improvement is part of the leadership journey and at times can be hard to do … particularly when it comes to self-critique. 

My leadership tip for you this week is to drop at least one bad habit by the end of this month – think of it as a ‘second half resolution’ instead of a ‘new year’s resolution’ … by eliminating a bad habit, you will have accomplished an important step towards becoming a better leader.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could eliminate one (or more) bad habit(s) this month?

What are you thinking? … That you have no bad habits?

 Heck, we all have bad habits!

 Here are a few classic examples:

  • Interrupting someone when they’re talking
  • Taking days to return a phone call
  • Checking your personal email while working
  • Using inappropriate language
  • Not accepting the feedback of others

Or, maybe you use one or more of these over used and annoying words or phrases?

  • “Absolutely”
  • “At the end of the day”
  • “24 – 7”
  • “Here’s the deal”
  • “Think outside of the box” 

Still think you’re clear of any bad habits?  Then I challenge you to ask someone in your organization this question; “What one thing would you like to see me stop doing?” … They’ll tell you!

I don’t think there is anything such as ‘eliminate a bad habit month’ … but wouldn’t it be great if you could eliminate at least one bad habit this month?

Enjoy your leadership journey!
