How to finally accomplish your overdue goals
|
Hi there, Do you have projects or goals that you keep putting off? Maybe it’s preparing for a marathon, finding a new job, or—like me—writing a book? Let me share a personal story. Twice, I’ve started writing a book and twice, I’ve stalled. But now, I’m on my third attempt, and this time, I’m fully committed to finishing it. So, I’m making a declaration: I’m working on a book for leaders about transforming disengaged, alienated teams into high-performing units. I’m excited to share that every other week, I’ll be updating you on my progress and offering some sneak peeks and tips from my upcoming book. Here’s a glimpse of what’s coming:
Why Bother?We all have goals that seem to slip through our fingers. It’s not about lacking desire or capability; often, it’s about structure and accountability. That’s why I’m sharing my journey with you—so we can hold each other accountable. And I want to do the same for you - let’s chat. If you feel stuck with your goals, let’s talk. Find a time on my calendar and let’s get some traction for your aspirations. Thank you for being part of this journey. Your support means a lot to me. And remember, it’s never too late to start or restart a goal. Take care, Daria PS - If you enjoy these updates and want to stay in the loop, follow me on LinkedIn for articles and posts on leadership and team development.

Hi Reader! In June of 2023, a small experimental submersible called the Titan descended into the Atlantic, bound for the Titanic wreck nearly 13,000 feet below the surface. It was part of a high-profile expedition led by OceanGate — a company that positioned itself as a pioneer in deep-sea exploration. The sub imploded during the dive. All five people on board were killed instantly. In the weeks that followed, the tragedy sparked headlines, speculation, and debate. But now, three years later,...
Hi Reader, Daria's here. I was talking with Rachel Sutherland recently — she runs People and Operations at a company of about fifty, growing fast from a startup into a scaleup. And of course, we talked about the transition that comes easy to no leader. You've heard plenty about the importance of delegation — "hire people smarter than you," the productivity math. But there's a part that makes it genuinely hard, and it isn't logistics. It's an identity shift. You built something by being close...
Hi Reader, A few months ago, I sat with a senior engineering leader — sharp, self-aware, running a large org inside a big tech company — and walked him through his GC Index profile. He looked at his results for about a minute and went straight to the lowest number. Four scores high, one sitting at a 3. And he did what almost everyone does the first time. He pointed at the 3 and asked me how to fix it. I didn't answer that. It's the wrong question. The GC Index doesn't measure how good you are...
