Welcome everyone, Thanks for checking back in with us here at Warehouse and Operations as a Career, I\u2019m Marty and today I\u2019d like to talk a little about Leadership, or I guess really about the, I don\u2019t know what to call it actually, I guess the Drive or the Motivation, maybe it\u2019s Passion that I\u2019m seeing in so many young Associates or Leaders coming from the floor these days! The last few months we\u2019ve talked about the Lead and Supervisor positions or those first steps into the management roles and I\u2019m excited to hear from so many individuals that\u2019s ready to take those hurdles or challenges head on! We have Corey and Nelson on the phone today, you\u2019ll remember Nelson from episode 59 and we we\u2019re visiting with Corey about 6 or 7 weeks ago where he shared a little on the transition from Unloader to Unloading Lead, today we\u2019ll be following up with him on how it\u2019s going for him!
\nNelson, thanks for giving us a few minutes today Sir, how\u2019ve you been?
\nCorey, how are you doing Sir, still excited about your new position?
\nWe had a few questions about Leadership, and how we\u2019re always talking about Responsibilities when we mention the Lead and Supervisor positions. One gentlemen asked \u201cthose are just other jobs?\u201d We\u2019ll they are, the task just aren\u2019t usually as defined as others and theirs going to be some type of financials, metrics and regulatory concerns involved as well as, and most importantly, the Human Capitol or the employee\u2019s to take care of. For those reasons the Responsibility word is going to pop up quite frequently!
\nI was reading an article this week, not actually on Leadership but I thought it was worth mentioning today as we\u2019re talking about our Successes! I believe these points can be used by all of us that want more, are looking to get noticed by our bosses and are wanting more growth, and I\u2019m sure our guest have experienced one of these points too! I think I\u2019ve read it before and we may have even spoke to some of it\u2019s points here, but I\u2019d like to go over a couple of them today. The article is called \u201c9 Things That Are Holding You Back From Success\u201d
\nfrom inc.com By Lolly Daskal. I\u2019ll add the link to todays show notes, but I\u2019d like to review her points real quick too. https://www.inc.com/lolly-daskal/9-things-that-will-keep-you-from-being-successful.html
\n
\n1. Envy. Sometimes described as the art of counting another's blessings instead of your own, envy destroys success. The more you can focus on what you have rather than what you don't have, the happier and more successful you can become. Envy is an illusion; someone else's good fortune takes nothing away from you.
\n2. Perfectionism. Self-abuse of the highest order, perfectionism is not a quest for the best but allowing yourself to be governed by the harshest voice in your head--the one that tells you you'll never be good enough. Perfectionism doesn't just hamper success but can also lead to anxiety, depression and paralysis of our best achievements.
\n3. Comparison. Successful people don't compare themselves to others. They know it's a waste of time and energy, because, as you may already have noticed, no one else is like you. Compare yourself only to where you've come from and where you aspire to be.
\n4. Blaming. Our lives, our success, our achievements are what we make of ourselves, so blaming others when things don't go right is just wrong. Spend your time and energy fixing the problem instead of blaming others. Blame is just a lazy way of making sense of failures and mistakes.
\n5. Self-doubt. Whenever you find yourself doubting how far you can go, just remember how far you have come--everything you have faced, all the battles you have won, all the fears you have overcome. Don't allow self-doubt to keep you down, because nothing's more effective at keeping you anchored in one place and unable to move forward.
\n6. Fear. If you're afraid of failing, you're most likely fearful to act.
