Monday Myth Check: Don’t Hunker Down When Times Get Uncertain

Monday Myth Check: Why Higher Salaries Aren’t Always the Answer

The Trail Markers
The Trail Markers are for individuals and businesses owners and leaders alike to discover who they are and unpack what they need to do next.
The Trail Markers are for individuals and businesses alike to discover who they are and unpack what they need to do next.
The Forged Leader Trail Markers are knowing your purpose, understanding the strategies and tactics needed, getting the right people around you, building robust and effective communication and creating repeatable processes for yourself and others to run with.
Just like on a trail, markers one and two are the most important. The first trail marker tells us we are at the right trailhead, lays out the overall trail on a map or image and lets us know what to expect (purpose).
The second trail marker we find some way down the trail, a blaze, a sign, a landmark… this gives a second essential marker (strategy) to reinforce we are on the correct trail. Without these two critical markers the rest just does not make sense, and we may not even know if we are on the right trail or what to expect.
Trail markers three (people), four (communication) and five (repeatable processes) are constant reminders that we are on the right trail and should keep going, always checking in with trail markers one and two.
