Facilitating light bulb moments since 2001
McCheek Manor 30 Day Leadership Challenge Day 20 – Write a list of your five most pressing to-do items for the week
You’ve got them, they exist. Those many to-do items that consist of people, tasks, and projects that do need to get done. The vision for your sphere of influence, on and on it goes, all good and necessary time needs. Right now, let’s pull out your calendar, journal,...
McCheek Manor 30 Day Leadership Challenge Day 19 – Choose the healthy eating option
As I write this I am out on travel so today’s challenge is particularly challenging for me. While one need not be out on travel to have a challenging relationship with food, travel calls for culinary creativity at times. If you normally partake of a healthy diet then...
McCheek Manor 30 Day Leadership Challenge Day 18 – Get out and walk
I recently had an individual ask what the difference was between Day Nine’s get out and manage by walking around and today’s get out and walk. In short, nine days earlier touched upon getting out and chatting with team members to glean and give information. That...
McCheek Manor 30 Day Leadership Challenge Day 17 – Call that meeting
It’s time, today is the day. You’ve been meaning to get that group together but just have not because…well I’ll leave the ‘because’ to you. Let’s coordinate that meeting or ask a qualified contact to do so. I’ve been working in and with organizations longer than some...
McCheek Manor 30 Day Leadership Challenge Day 16 – Do one random act of kindness
Random: to proceed, make, or have occur without definite aim, reason, or pattern. Did you know (I didn’t) that there is actually a random act of kindness day? It’s February 17th; heck there is actually a whole random acts of kindness week for the over achievers;...
McCheek Manor 30 Day Leadership Challenge Day 15 – Call someone you love and tell them
Mothers, aunts, uncles, friends, partners, kids, fathers, siblings, or your pet, today is the day we take a minute to let someone or our pet (for all the animal lovers out there) know that we genuinely love them. The act of saying “I love you” releases chemicals in...
McCheek Manor 30 Day Leadership Challenge Day 14 – Schedule a vacation
Ah yes, visions of lush green palm trees swaying in the breeze against an azure blue sky blanketed by a crystal white sand beach. Or perhaps cool multicolor green ferns on each side of a gently flowing mountain stream…oh wait, that’s my vision…OK, I’m back. Vacations...
McCheek Manor 30 Day Leadership Challenge Day 13 – Leave or stop work one hour early
Did you ever ‘ditch’ your last class period in high school? I did, along with the second or an occasional fourth period. Now I don’t mean to imply that my high school career was in danger of academic derailment. I was an A student and when I got the itch to ditch, it...
McCheek Manor 30 Day Leadership Challenge Day 12 – Look at your monthly calendar and delegate one item
Ever been in a meeting or on your way to one when you heard, “meeting cancelled, you get one hour of your day back?” Don’t you secretly love that feeling (unless of course it was your annual review where you knew you were getting a raise)? Today’s challenge is sort of...
McCheek Manor 30 Day Leadership Challenge Day 11 – Look at your current most recent last 10 emails and take action, delete, or delegate one
Do it, delete it, or dump it. Easier said than done when you either believe no one can complete tasks as well as you or let’s be honest, the way you would. Then of course there is the matter of the execution timing. Err, time…I feel your pain. You start your day and...
