Episode 36 - You Can't Pour From An Empty Cup

If you’ve listened to many episodes of the Culture-neer podcast, then you’ve heard Terry say,“Your culture is only as healthy as the leader.” This is an important principle to understand,because as a leader, it’s so easy to get in a mode of burning the candle at both ends, constantlytaking on more responsibility than you can sustain with excellence and a good attitude. Thetruth is you can’t lead others well if you’re not leading yourself with intentionality and care.This week Terry shares practical tips to cultivate healthy self-care so you can avoid becoming anempty cup that has nothing of value to give to your team or to your vision for yourorganization. He also explains the three tiers for prioritizing daily tasks, which will help youclarify the best responsibilities for you to focus on, the ones you can delegate to others, and theones you can eliminate all together. If you take them to heart and begin applying theseprinciples to your leadership style, you’ll become more refreshed and renewed so you can be atyour best, rather than your burned-out worst.If you haven’t done it already, be sure to check out Terry’s latest book, CULTURE-NEER: Buildinga Team That Beats the Odds, to take a deeper dive in this topic.
