A little old, but some things are timeless. This is a wonderful video sharing some of the best qualities of leadership. Imagine if more of us started this early with the knowledge and understanding of these traits.
Enjoy and share!
Belpre Elementary School students share their leadership experience
Belpre Elementary School has a program for students to become a leader and improve their communication skills.
“Leadership mostly because you are very kind and when you are on the lighthouse team and you are like a mean person, people aren’t going to think of you as a leader. So, what I learn the most is being a leader and being kind you know, helping others whenever they need help because sometimes people don’t ask for help because they are like tough, but sometimes they just need a little help” Maddie Richards, Lighthouse team student.
The lighthouse team allows students to become leaders and learn to communicate well with others.
“Whenever we have meetings every Friday, we have to talk a lot and we always have to go over speaking loudly at a good clear level, like at Rockland Ridge we had to do that because sometimes they couldn’t hear me. So, I had to repeat and that’s okay just don’t be mean and do not yell at them so that really has helped my communication skills.” Ellie Whitlatch, Lighthouse team student.
These student leader recognize not everyone is in the same boat as others.
“Everybody doesn’t have life as you do, something could be going on at their house or in their life and you just do not know so I think it is important to be kind and be a leader because sometimes that can just really help other people.” Ava Colvin, Lighthouse team student.
A common favorite part within the team is being kind and being a role model for other students.
“My favorite part is probably the morning announcement. I like showing on the announcements we do habits and do inspiring quotes and I like spreading the word about being kind.” Chloe Hess, Lighthouse team student.
I like helping others and I know it probably means a lot to them whenever I smile especially if they are having a bad day.” Raelynn Gibbs, Lighthouse team student.

An effective and funny video to help demonstrate the power of simplicity. This goes a long way in management in emails, proposals, conversations with staff, etc.
Enjoy!
Great video to use for a meeting to engage and motive your team. It is inspirational.
I use these kinds of videos often as it pushes aside all the work thoughts and focuses on the development session or meeting – gets the audience focused and in the moment.
This is a great video. Sure we have all done something similar.
It does make me think of being a genuine leader in this POST.
This is a hilarious video. On the more serious side made me think of a backup and/or succession plan as a manager or leader. Who is next in line and do they have the skills and tools to keep business continuity?
One of the best videos around on Boss vs Leader.
This is a program I used and on the surface seems a simple concept, but as you work through it with your team, it becomes a powerful and impactful program. I encourage you to try it.
To wet your appetite, this I Power Seed will help.

Here is a PowerPoint that is very simple, so don’t judge, but a decent base to get you started when creating your own slide deck.
Here are some questions to ask your team to get you started.
What can I do to increase my work 1 Extra Degree?
Do I reflect on what I have done and take personal pride on the progress I have made?
Does 1 Extra Degree add to my work load or actually decrease it in the long term?
Great video about stuck in a path and not taking accountability and drive to get out of the norm.
This I Power Seed will help bring a funny light into how we sometimes get stuck and need to break away and have the courage to do so.

This is a nice video about some myths about Scrum (and Agile) software development. It is a recorded webinar but has good content. It is hosted by Simona Millham of CBT Nuggets. I posted in previous posts that I had used CBT Nuggets a long time ago and was not impressed with it and preferred class-based training. However, I recently purchased CBT Nuggets for my team and I started using it and just really enjoy the format – quick 3-8 min videos with a quiz after each video. I have my OneNote open and take notes during each video and I have found I am learning and retaining a lot more because I am visually seeing the creative and energetic presentations as well as writing it down at the same time to reinforce what I just learned in the video.
I hope you enjoy this short video.
What is Scrum?
From Wikipedia:
Scrum is a framework for managing work with an emphasis on software development. It is designed for teams of three to nine developers who break their work into actions that can be completed within fixed duration iterations (called “sprints”), track progress and re-plan in 15-minute Daily Scrum meetings, to collaborate and deliver work on every sprint. Approaches to coordinating the work of multiple scrum teams in larger organizations include Large-Scale Scrum, Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) and Scrum of Scrums, among others.
I will be posting I Power Seeds regarding Scrum over the next few weeks to give you a framework of what Scrum is and how it can benefit you. But this video will give you an high level overview. Enjoy, and look for future posts.
My wife “forced” me to watch this video. She felt inspired and was moved by it, so I figured I had to support her and watch it. Well, it was an amazing video.
You need to watch it. Period.
It will inspire you, those around you, and just make you feel good. We need that now and then.
Enjoy!
Overview
Make an Impact: Rick Rigsby delivers a powerful speech on how his father’s teachings have guided him through the most troubling times of his life. Are you Inspired?
From FaithWire
Maybe you remember the commencement speaker from your college graduation; maybe you don’t. But it is safe to say the spring 2017 graduates of the California State University Maritime Academy will never forget the wisdom award-winning journalist, author, and—most importantly—son of a ship’s cook Dr. Rick Rigsby shared with them on their graduation day. In an homage to his late father and wife, Rigsby said that the best advice he ever received was from his father, who was a “third grade dropout” and a “simple cook,” and he proceeded to pass it along to those in attendance with the hope that they too would come to understand that while times might get tough, it is vital to wake up every morning in search of greater knowledge and go to sleep every night asking oneself: “How you living?”

Lessons from a Third Grade Dropout: How the Timeless Wisdom of One Man Can Impact an Entire Generation
After his wife died, Rick Rigsby was ready to give up. The bare minimum was good enough. Rigsby was content to go through the motions, living out his life as a shell of himself. But then he remembered the lessons his father taught him years before – something insanely simple, yet incredibly profound.
These lessons weren’t in advanced mathematics or the secrets of the stock market. They were quite straightforward, in fact, for Rigsby’s father never made it through third grade. But if this uneducated man’s instructions were powerful enough to produce a Ph.D. and a judge – imagine what they can do for you.
Join Rigsby as he dusts off time-tested beliefs and finds brilliantly simple answers to modern society’s questions. In a magnificent testament to the “Greatest Generation” which gave so much and asked so little in return, Lessons from a Third Grade Dropout will challenge you while reigniting your passion to lead a truly fulfilling life.
After all, it’s never too late to learn a little bit more about life – just ask the third-grade dropout.

One the programs or methodologies I enjoyed and is the catalyst that propelled me into creating this website is Patrick Lencioni’s “The 5 Dysfunctions of a Team”. It was truly inspiring.
The inspiration got me thinking and looking at my team and my leadership skills. At the same time some of my staff had shared with me that they felt there were areas as a team where we were dysfunctional. So from the inspiration and guidance I was feeling, I dove into The 5 Dysfunctions of a Team and began a journey. A challenging one for sure, but rewarding and one that produced positive results in the end.
As a side note I had to adjust it for my staff, not for an executive team and the book is based on.
This video is an overview of The 5 Dysfunctions of a Team and a good introduction for you. I also encourage you to get the full audio and paper versions of the book. You will really enjoy the story and all of its meanings.
Enjoy your journey!
