I was working last week with a group of overwhelmed HR leaders on how to bring both a disciplined and servant leader approach to their work.

Here’s my answer:

Your challenge this week is to try on the “yes, and…” response. Let me know how it goes.

And…ask me anything. What question do you have in your leadership that you’d like me to answer? I’ll make it a feature in an upcoming post.
