Seth Kahan on Leadership // Monday Morning Mojo
Get Your Edge On
At the beginning of every week there is an opportunity to set goals for the days ahead and the chance to raise the bar on your own performance. Want to put a spring in your step, a twinkle in your eye? Then, pick an area to focus on that means something to you. Here are four candidates:

  1. TimeCraft – Each one of us gets the same amount of time as everyone else: 24 hours in a day. What you do with it and the competencies you develop are yours to profit from.

  2. MindSet – Your most important asset is the quality of mind you bring to every day actions. It will help you in challenges and opportunities, large and small.

  3. Communication – Let others know what you have been up to in ways that are tactful, inviting, engaging, proactive, and helpful.

  4. Value Generation – Creating benefit for other people is a skill unto itself. Mastered by few, it creates demand on your participation. This is the very lever you pull to advance your position or your agenda.
Pock one of these or one of your own. This little project becomes a personal edge that you bring to every engagement and task. It will make you shine inside and out!


Both the man of science and the man of action live always at the edge of mystery, surrounded by it.
