High Performance Leadership

What do you as a leader do for optimal learning? For growth to occur, learning is essential. There is no growth without learning. Optimal learning balances support and tension. Centered leaders stretch their people compassionately.   Projects become challenges, but not ordeals. Goals become accountable but not punishing. Courage and compassion walk hand-in-hand. Optimal learning is the degree of expansion we can endure without breaking. It's knowing when to immerse and when to withdraw. It's work and it's play. It's not a paradox but rather a balance. Centering helps you find and sustain this delicate balance. - How do you balance support and tension? - How do you stretch your people compassionately? - How do you stretch yourself? - What are you working on RIGHT NOW? -- Douglas Brent Smith Learn more in the workshop: Supervising for Success
