1 BIG IDEA
Results aren’t the end—they’re the beginning. Strategic leaders know how to use outcomes to refine how they lead. This episode shows you how to read what your results are really telling you—and how to lead better because of them.

4 WAYS TO APPLY THIS

  • Review recent outcomes—beyond the surface wins or misses
  • Ask what each result reveals about your leadership patterns
  • Revisit the Recognize. Reflect. Respond. framework for strategic growth
  • Avoid common traps like rushing forward or misreading success

3 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF

  • What’s one result I achieved this quarter—and what does it reveal about my leadership style?
  • Are there patterns in my results that point to something deeper—either strength or misalignment?
  • How can I refine my leadership this month to better honor my Core Values and support my team?
