### [The Power of Reputation Management in Small Business](https://success.catalystleadershipdynamics.com/tips/the-power-of-reputation-management-in-small-business)

January 30, 2024

Self-awareness is required in Leadership. Reputation is a prerequisite to effective Leadership. Reputation is everyone's responsibility!

It is the leader's job to ensure that Reputation is managed effectively! But make no mistakes, it is everyone's job to maintain and elevate organizational Reputation. Trust, performance, and engagement are critical for a strong Organizational Reputation.

Reputation is a long-term word. One must have a vision of what one desires to be known for and work towards it in the good, bad, and in between times. There will be bumps, bruises, and damaged egos along the journey. Reputation is built by a demonstrated long-term body of work, personally, professionally, and organizationally!

### [Achieving Balanced Workplace Performance: A Strategic, Tactical, and Innovative Approach](https://success.catalystleadershipdynamics.com/tips/are-you-performing-up-to-par-heres-a-balanced-approach-to-performance-2)

January 9, 2024

Lately, I’ve been thinking about the different types of performance.

As I work with individual clients, and in our group coaching formats, I have learned many spread themselves far too thin, diluting their performance personally, professionally, and organizationally. It does not have to be this way.

What do you think?  Are you performing up to par?

When considering succession, whether in a family business or not, certain qualities must be considered for success.

### [Your Managerial Goal Setting- A Worksheet for Prioritizing](https://success.catalystleadershipdynamics.com/tips/your-managerial-goal-setting-a-worksheet-for-priority)

November 21, 2023

## Why Goal Setting Matters

A goal-setting study sponsored by the Ford Foundation found that:

- *23% of the population has NO IDEA what they want from life & as a result, they float around aimlessly.*
- *67% of the population has a general idea of what they want but don’t have any plans for getting it.*
- *Only 10% of the population has specific, well-defined goals, but even then, 7 out of 10 of those people reach their goals only half (50%) of the time.*
- *The top 3% of the people in the study achieved their goals 89% of the time.*

- *What was the difference?  They found that of all the possible variables, the only difference between the top performers and the rest was that the top 3% WROTE DOWN THEIR GOALS.*
