The Power of 1% Shifts in Leadership
𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 without overwhelming yourself? Ready to turn tiny actions into outsized returns? Let's unlock the 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝟭% 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁𝘀!
The secret I've learned from coaching high-performing teams: you don't need a massive overhaul. You need 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼-𝗵𝗮𝗯𝗶𝘁 that compounds.
𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝗺𝘆 𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱-𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 for site teams that 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀:
1. 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗺 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 by 10 minutes → if it's weekly with 5 people, that's ≈ 43 hours/year back to the team.
2. 𝗗𝗼 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸-𝗶𝗻 a day (resident, vendor, teammate) → prevents small issues from becoming escalations.
3. 𝗙𝗶𝘅 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 (CRM tag, unit status, missing field) → cleaner dashboards, fewer reporting headaches.
4. 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝟮-𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘄-𝘁𝗼 each week (quick screen capture) → 52 micro-SOPs a year for onboarding and consistency.
5. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝟭𝟱-𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸 per day → ~65 hours/year of deep work without interruptions.
But wait, there's more! Here are my favorite 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀:
• 𝗚𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝟭 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 → 365 moments of recognition. Shoutouts fuel retention.
• 𝗗𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝟭 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘄𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 → a year of progress you can feel. Turn it into a monthly "what worked" recap.
• 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝟭𝟬 𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝗱𝗮𝘆 → one playbook a month. Curate a stack for your team and rotate the highlights.
• 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝟭𝟬 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀 → 61 hours of clarity a year. Try a quiet start before the morning huddle.
• 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝟭 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗹𝘆 → 52 per year. Short modules beat "someday training."
• 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝟭 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗹𝘆 → 52 new connections. Vendors, mentors, neighboring properties. Your next solution often starts as a conversation.
Here's the breakthrough: 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲. Pick one 1% habit, make it effortless, then let time do the heavy lifting.
