What are we reading? Leadership Two Words at a Time. Simple Truths for Leading Complicated People.
- by Bill Treasurer
Simple is Better!
Leadership is hard work, but we often make it harder than it needs to be. Leaders regularly get pulled into the weeds and convince themselves they’re the only ones who can solve the crisis of the day.
When that happens, two predictable things follow. First, we overcommit—stretching ourselves thin, creating unnecessary stress, and losing focus on what matters most. Second, as that stress builds, we unintentionally become more self-centered and frustrated. The result? Our teams and even our families feel overlooked, undervalued, and unappreciated.
The antidote is simple: return to the core purpose of your role.
When you stay focused on why you lead and keep your objectives front and center, challenges become easier to navigate. Simplicity brings perspective. It strengthens your leadership and creates a healthier, more positive environment for the people counting on you.
👉 Quick Action Step:
Identify one part of your leadership work that has become more complex than it needs to be. Refocus on the essentials—define the purpose, streamline the steps, and ensure everyone is clear on what success looks like.
