Description

Are you measuring success by how much you do — or by the impact you actually create?

In today’s episode, I share why the most effective leaders stop asking, “What do I get?” and start asking, “What can I contribute?” This simple shift changes everything. It moves you from busyness to true impact and forces you to connect your work to the bigger mission of your organization.

Here’s my challenge for you: Pick one project this week and ask yourself, “If I nail this, how does it contribute to the bigger mission?” If you can’t answer clearly, it may be time to rethink the project — or your approach.

Listen in, then let me know: What project are you working on right now that makes the biggest contribution?
