Hungry. Humble. Human.

Tip 2 Who You Surround Yourself With

We are planning on releasing these weekly quick tips as a series every Tuesday. So look for these. These are part of the book project and include keys to legacy leadership for hungry, humble, human trailblazers. Our second tip of the week is who you surround yourself with. Today's insight is all about the power of proximity. The truth is your success isn't just about your skills. It's about your support system. Great leaders don't do it alone. They choose their circle with intention. I invite you to share your own stories as it relates to the topic and let's have a creative discussion.

Legacy Leadership and the Double Bottom Line

🌍💼 What if profit and purpose weren’t competing priorities—but complementary ones?
In a world that’s waking up to conscious leadership, we’re being asked to redefine success.
The question isn’t “Are we growing?”It’s “Are we growing in a way that uplifts people, sustains our communities, and aligns with our values?”
That’s the heart of the Double Bottom Line—a leadership model that measures both financial return and positive impact.
🎥 In this video, I unpack:
What the Double Bottom Line really means (and where it came from)
Why Legacy Leadership is the next frontier for growth-minded CEOs and founders
How values-driven strategy builds stronger businesses from the inside out
Whether you’re an executive, founder, or advisor—this conversation is for you.
💬 I’d love to hear your thoughts:How are you measuring success these days?

The Power of Real Communication - The Key to Business Success

One of the critical success factors in any organization is real communication. It connects people, aligns goals, and drives results. Real communication influences decision-making, problem-solving, and innovation. While financial management, marketing strategies, and operational efficiency are important, without effective communication, these aspects lose their power. I encourage you to prioritize open dialogue, embrace different perspectives, and invest in communication training.

The Crucial Shift from Attachment to Commitment in Leadership

Hey everyone, Cheryl here! Today, we're diving into a game-changing concept: attachment vs. commitment in leadership. Ever felt stuck because you're too attached to "your way" of doing things? That's attachment. But if you're committed, you're all about the goal, not how you get there. This mindset opens up creativity, allows for flexibility, and gets everyone on board, making your team or project more successful. So, think about it—are you attached or committed? Shift to commitment and watch your success soar.

Navigating Out of the Hopium Haze: A Leadership Imperative

Hey everyone, Cheryl Marks Young here, diving back into our discussion on the "hopium epidemic" plaguing businesses. Today, we're tackling the pitfalls of false hope and misdirected efforts. Ever find your business in a rut, with sales dwindling and customers leaving, yet you're convinced the problem lies solely with the sales or marketing team? You're not alone. It's a common trap to blame internal departments - be it sales, finance, or even the accountants - when things go south. But what if I told you that the real issue might lie outside your immediate team? Join me as we unravel a real-life scenario where the problem wasn't the sales strategy, the products, or the pricing, but rather an external vendor's mishandling of deliveries. It's a journey of recognizing the true root cause of our business woes and steering clear of the destructive cycle of blame. Let's empower ourselves to look beyond the surface and find real solutions to our challenges. If you've faced similar hurdles, I'm eager to hear your story. Together, let's navigate our way out of the hopium haze and towards genuine business recovery.

Curing the Hopium Epidemic Part 3 Running versus Leading

Hey everyone, it's Cheryl Marks Young here, back with Part Three of our Hopium series, focusing on curing the hopium epidemic in businesses. If you're new here, we're discussing how leaders often rely on hope rather than solid planning to achieve business goals, a practice I've dubbed "hopium." Today, we're diving into the difference between running and leading a business. Running a business involves being caught up in daily tasks and operations, while leading is about strategically guiding your business towards its goals. I'll share insights from my experiences and Vistage groups, and we'll explore how to transition from running to leading by utilizing tools like training videos and written manuals. This approach not only streamlines operations but also empowers you to focus on growth and strategic planning. Join me as we tackle the hopium epidemic and steer our businesses towards lasting success.
