- 3
Are you making trackable progress on your strategic initiatives?
- 4

When You Have a Clear Vision and Your Leaders Are Executing, You Can...
At LR, we know you are the kind of business leader who wants your people and company to flourish.
In order to do that, you need a clear strategic vision and strong leaders to execute it.
The problem is, it’s easy to get caught up working in the business rather than on the business, which often results in a cloudy path to success for you and your team.
We believe it’s a leader’s top priority to preserve the long-term success of their company, and we understand alignment seems unachievable at times.
That’s why we’ve spent decades helping companies create operational excellence and invest in their most valuable asset, their people.

💬 The Conversation After the Conversation 💬
We’ve all had conversations that didn’t go as planned. The real power lies in what happens next.
✔ Be Vulnerable – Own your part. “I got defensive earlier, and I’m sorry.”
✔ Ask for Permission – Respect their space. “Would you be open to revisiting this?”
✔ Name the Nerves – Acknowledge discomfort. “This is hard for me, but I value our connection.”
Circling back with emotional intelligence, courage, and authenticity builds trust and strengthens relationships. Because sometimes, the most important conversation is the one that comes after.

💡 Great leaders recognize that everyone carries unseen challenges. Stress and emotions impact performance, relationships, and decision-making.
Emotional intelligence isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about awareness, empathy, and intentional responses. Leaders who listen, understand, and support their teams create environments where people feel valued and motivated.
A small act—a moment of patience, a thoughtful question, or genuine encouragement—can make all the difference.
This March, Leadership Resources is focusing on emotional intelligence in leadership. Stay tuned for insights and strategies to lead with greater empathy and impact.

When reality doesn’t match expectations, what do you do?
Ignore it and hope for the best? 🚫
Or lean in and turn it into a growth opportunity? ✅
Tough conversations can feel uncomfortable, but avoiding them only makes things worse. Addressing them the right way can:
💡 Boost development
💪 Strengthen morale
🚀 Drive real results
Here’s your 5-step game plan for handling unmet expectations like a pro:
Step 1: Share what you’ve noticed & ask, “Can you tell me more about that?”
Step 2: Focus on behaviors, not the person—stick to ‘I’ statements for a constructive convo.
Step 3: Invite open discussion. Ask about challenges, brainstorm solutions.
Step 4: Use the ‘feedback sandwich’—positivity makes feedback easier to digest!
Step 5: Stay calm & composed when redirecting tough conversations.
Handled the right way, unmet expectations aren’t setbacks—they’re stepping stones.

What gets in the way of building a culture of accountability?
Join in on this important conversation in our first-ever virtual Coffee with Kathy session. ☕
Here are three key takeaways:
1️⃣ One-on-ones matter. A quick hallway chat is not a one-on-one. Effective leaders schedule consistent, intentional check-ins to build trust and accountability.
2️⃣ Feedback is about behavior, not the person. Tough conversations are easier when we separate the individual from their actions—just like we do with loved ones.
3️⃣ Core values should guide decisions. When accountability conversations tie back to an organization’s values, they become clearer and more impactful.
How do these ideas show up in your leadership? Let us know in the comments! ⬇️
