In today's busy manufacturing world, leaders are feeling more stressed and stretched-thin than ever, as they deal with the staggering expectations and everyday demands on their time, energy, and attention. In this episode on how leaders can discover productive, healthy ways to free up their time and energy, I'm joined by author and leadership development coach Sara Canaday. Sara uses her years of corporate experience to advocate for leaders and help them grow the skills they need to strengthen their leadership skills, enhance their relationships, and thrive in today's complex, competitive climate. In this episode, she talks about why leaders often end up feeling burnt-out, plus shares some unique practices organizations can use to best support their leaders. 2:16 – Leaders are meant to ignite fires, not constantly put them out. If you're a leader who finds yourself constantly acting as a firefighter, it's time to reconnect with the meaning of your role. 3:22 – We're conditioned from a young age to be productive and to feel like we're only valuable if we're doing something, which impacts the way we lead and show up in the workplace 4:40 – Even when you're doing nothing, your mind is still very productive, which is why it's important to take a strategic pause to declutter your mind, find more clarity, and make better decisions and better serve your team 7:43 – Deep discovery and creative problem-solving can't fully happen when we're multitasking 8:26 – It can be helpful to reach out to others and let them add structure to your thinking and gain a broader prospective 9:40 – You have more control and agency over your own time than you think you do 10:00 – To gain more control over your time, dig deeper into your schedule and challenge yourself to think about what is the most important. For example, you could start skipping meetings that you don't really need to be at, or send someone else to takes notes for you. 10:25 – Instead of just thinking about your to-do list, consider starting a list of things you can stop doing or delegate to someone else on your team 10:48 – As a leader, you have an obligation to think about how your can use your time in a way that best serves your team and your clients 11:43 – A change in scenery, like a stop at a coffeeshop on your way to your plant, is a great way to shift your mindset and build productive new habits 13:50 – Leaders should be responsive, but they also have to clearly show their priorities to themselves and the rest of their organization 15:05 – Leaders deal with exponential and even sometimes unrealistic expectations, especially when it comes to solving problems and facilizing productive conversations about important issues like social justice and employee mental health 16:08 – Leaders are doers and drivers, but they are also human beings and there's only so much they can do 16:30 – There are many things team and organizations can do to support their leaders, including thinking about the most important priorities or even hiring someone to help with some of the leader's other tasks 17:39 – Instead of impressing others, spend more time on thinking about what they really need to feel support and healthy in their role 20:00 – Shifting your mindset starts with putting aside your own biases and anything else that is clouding your judgment 20:43 – After putting aside your assumptions, spend more time discovering new, time-saving solutions by staying curious and seeking out productive, unbiased conversations with others 22:43 – If you're not sure about something, don't be afraid to just ask 23:00 – It takes courage to ask for what you need, but it's important to find ways to protect your time and energy 23:42 – Leaders deserve a better experience, and a good experience can create a domino effect that positively impacts the rest of their team Connect with Sara Canaday Website LinkedIn Sara's LinkedIn Learning courses

In a recent article from Psychology Today, Sara Canaday says, “Separate your self-worth from perfectionism: 'you' are not the outcome of the project." Perfection is not wrong to aspire to. It becomes harmful to a person's self-worth when tied to the outcome of perfection. Human nature is to judge a man based on his perfection [...]

Sara Canaday is the author of You — According to Them, and Leadership Unchained: Defy Conventional Wisdom for Breakthrough Performance. Sara shares how leaders can better adapt to the changing landscape, because conventional or traditional success strategies can now limit our recovery and growth. Sara contends we need to shift from being a doer to being a driver.   Key Takeaways [3:00] Conventional or traditional success strategies that we’ve learned can now limit our future success as the landscape today is so different. [6:15] When Sara says take a strategic pause, she doesn’t mean to take a mental time out. She means to really absorb all the knowledge you’ve learned lately and see what stands out. [8:45] The idea of doing nothing scares a lot of people, even when they consciously know it could benefit them greatly. [16:30] In Sara’s book, You — According to Them, the biggest thing that leaders took away from that book was shifting the focus from being a doer to a driver.[24:35] It’s up to all of us to find our own purpose in the bigger scheme of things. A company tells you what your function is - not necessarily purpose. [31:35] As a young woman, Sara learned that if she wanted to be taken seriously, she had to be serious, and that thinking backfired on her. [33:40] There is a balance between standing out and fitting in. Be a renegade in your ideas, but not in your behavior.  [37:15] People like listening to the loudest person in the room because it feels like action-taking, but those people can create massive casualties in an organization. The only way to prevent this is to really slow down and think things through, but that’s not deemed ‘efficient.’ [39:55] You have a lot of control over who gets your time and attention more than you realize, even if you feel like you don’t have the ‘authority’ or a high-demanding boss in front of you. [43:10] In order to get people engaged, we have to show them that we’re just as engaged in what they want for themselves. [47:00] Leaders need to be willing to shake up the way they think.   Quotable Quotes “Take a strategic pause, make unbreakable appointments with yourself to sit, and let everything you’ve read/seen/heard in a week or a day marinate so you can see connections you may not have seen.” “How many of us were rewarded for being doers? We’ve been conditioned, so it takes a real mind shift to sit still.” “You can have all the smarts in the world, but that alone is not going to get you where you need to be.” “The experiences we give ourselves are important.” “If you enter the game of business, you enter the game to play. So play to win!”   Resources Mentioned Saracanaday.com Leadership Unchained: Defy Conventional Wisdom for Breakthrough Performance, by Sara Canaday You — According to Them: Uncovering the blind spots that impact your reputation and your career, by Sara Canaday What Got You Here Won't Get You There: How Successful People Become Even More Successful, by Marshall Goldsmith   The Leadership Podcast is Sponsored by:     Cultivate Grit.

Breaking Free from The Chains of Conventional Wisdom Many leaders feel like they are a walking to-do list and consequently, they lose focus on what they set out to do as a leader. Their role then turns into more of a management role. Keynote speaker, author, and executive coach Sara Canaday talks about the practices in her book Leadership Unchained that have helped leaders reconnect to their work and better handle their never-ending task lists. She states that leaders are responsible for disrupting their own thinking and learning from a new perspective.

Sara Canaday, Leadership Keynote Speaker at Sara Canaday & Associates, discusses how often we are a walking to do list. She addresses how we can change this and what steps we need to take to be action driven but reflective.

Most corporate leaders are aware that their roles are more than fancy titles: they are actually expected to use their presence, influence, and specific strategies to create and nurture employee cultures, which produce positive business results. The question is, how? What is the path from being a great "manager", to becoming that powerful intangible, a great "leader"?In this episode, we discuss with leadership development expert, author, and speaker, Sara Canaday. Sara is a Leadership Keynote Speaker, Award-winning Author, Consultant and the Founder of Sara Canaday and Associates.

Sara began her journey working full-time while she earned an MBA. As she climbed the ladder of corporate America, she repeatedly observed a surprising phenomenon: the most successful people weren’t necessarily the ones with the highest IQ or best job skills. She recognized instead that career advancement was much more closely linked with how people applied their knowledge and talents — their capacity to collaborate, communicate, and influence others.Organizations have historically made heavy investments to help top performers and senior leaders gain tangible skills through degrees, professional certifications and technical training courses. However, companies that are giving equal emphasis to boosting intangible skills have discovered a measurable bottom-line impact and a distinct competitive advantage in today’s fast-paced, global economy. What are these high-value intangible skills? •Influential leadership and compelling communications that inspire and motivate colleagues and co-workers •Powerful personal presence that others perceive as charismatic and persuasive yet approachable and supportive •Strong emotional intelligence that builds solid connections with people at all levels of the organization •Collaborative behaviors and strategies that maximize team performance and results When high-potentials successfully integrate these intangible leadership skills, their corporate employers reap the benefits: increased productivity, stronger market performance, and improved employee retention. Sara Canaday has an impressive track record for helping companies harness those distinct advantages.KeynotesWorkshop ResourcesLeadership UnchainedYou According to ThemLinkedIn Learning OnlineDave SwansonWebsiteBook Goat Wrestling Perseverance Clothes Free Chapter of my Bestselling Book?

They’ve radically evolved to accommodate a modern business landscape that’s strangely fluid and requires a more nuanced approach for competing at a higher level.
