Leadership Weightlifting: Essential Responsibilities and Unnecessary Burdens (07/08/2025)

July 08, 2025

Happy Tuesday!

I’m on vacation at the farm but wrote this before vacation started. This week I am expanding an idea I wrote about in our Your Remarkable Day newsletter, which comes out every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. It is short, informative and inspirational. If you aren’t subscribed, get started here.

I hope you have a tremendous week, and I hope this week’s article will speak to you in one way or another. In the work I do with leaders every day, I know that many of us need to consider some of the weightlifting we are doing. Take some more seriously, perhaps, and let go of some other things.

If you are responsible for training and learning in your organization, make sure you sign up for the webinar below. And if you aren’t, forward this newsletter to those who are!

Make it a great Tuesday and remember …

You are Remarkable!

Leadership Weightlifting: Essential Responsibilities and Unnecessary Burdens

People lift weights for a variety of reasons - some for sport or hobby, others for health and/or fitness. While I am not an expert on weightlifting, I do know that you can make mistakes in how and what you lift – and doing it incorrectly can cause injuries and problems. Leaders are weightlifters too. Some of the weights they lift and carry are important – and doing those well are important to their success. But there are other weights they lift that they don’t need to be carrying at all.

Thanks for reading. Please reply at any time with questions or feedback for our team.
