We have so much on our plates that we all too often just jump from task to task. But when we're unclear about what we want the end to look like, we set ourselves up for frustration and lots of wasted energy. When you start with the end in mind, you can more easily make sure you're staying on track and achieving the goals or objectives you want. In this episode, we explore why stopping to think about where you really want to end up is so important. Enrollment is open for the summer Supervisor Strengths Institute!

We've come to a generational shift as we welcome young professionals into our fold. The newest members of our teams are often Gen Zers. As with all new generations, this comes with its share of struggles. As we think about how to lead and mentor these individuals so they can become good stewards of the profession, a number of supervisors are struggling to motivate this new crop of professionals. In this episode, we discuss how we arrived at the work culture we have now, the benefits of that culture, and whether or not we SHOULD be motivating new professionals to accept the status quo. Enrollment is open for the summer Supervisor Strengths Institute!

Do you feel like you're spending too much of your time and energy putting out fires? If so, you're not alone. Most supervisors don't have time to plan or even get things done because they're too busy getting interrupted and putting out what seems to be a fire. But why are there so many fires that need tending? In this episode, I talk about some of the underlying causes of these "emergencies."
