Two Minute Tip with Diego Ugalde
A comment from Diego:
Two Minute Leadership Hack on: Starting With The Self. Whether in leadership, with the family, or in the recesses of the mind, the challenge is to turn inward, no matter what, when things get hard, painful, or scary and ask the bold question, “what is it within me that is creating or causing this?” This is a VERY hard thing to do when it is so blatantly obvious that whatever is bothering you is coming from someone or something outside of your self. It is low hanging fruit to assign blame to what may appear to be the source of your difficulty. But for the true pursuer of the human spirit, it becomes clear the honest source of any resistance, no matter what, no matter what is coming from within. Stay Curious!

My name is Diego Ugalde, CEO and founder of The Trident Approach and you're listening to my two minute tip on hacking your leadership. Everything starts with the Self The biggest issues that CEOs come to us to solve have all been rooted in some way to things they need to fix within the self. Recently, the CEO of a Fortune Ten company told us that he was frustrated because even though his teams were comprised entirely of genius level talent, for some reason they always had to be micromanaged. He genuinely wanted them to take more chances and not have to depend on him to complete difficult tasks. So we took him out on the beach along with his team and put them through our transformative, Navy sealed team cohesion based events. When tasked with the challenge and problem set, he immediately took the lead in solving the problem, unintentionally pushing his team aside because he was concerned about making the timeline. Once the dust settled, he was able to finally see that he was creating the situation that he feared. So how do you start with the self? Three steps. Step one. Awareness. Begin to notice the behaviors and events that anger or disappoint you in the performance of your teams. Step two. Commit to an authentic pursuit of how those issues can be traced to behaviors that are within you. Step three. Be patient with yourself and others as you work to improve the things within that are creating your current situation in an effort to step into your true power as a leader and teammate. Starting with the self is the single greatest thing you can do to empower and align yourself, your teams and your leadership, but it is also one of the hardest.
