Jodi Harpstead dazzled the Good Leadership Breakfast guests by bringing to life the Breakthrough Goals concepts from her leadership.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

“Our current thinking limits our ability to accomplish extraordinary things,”<\/em> explained Jodi Harpstead, CEO of Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota. Jodi was the speaker at the Good Leadership Breakfast<\/a> last Friday, where she shared\u00a0the secret sauce for her leadership: “At LSS every manager, up through me, has a Breakthrough Goal every year.\u00a0Breakthrough Goals are so large that we don\u2019t know how to do it, don\u2019t know if it\u2019s possible, but if we could do it, it would be a huge breakthrough for us personally and professionally.”<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n

What we concentrate on grows<\/strong><\/p>\n

If our best energy is consumed by the “to-do” list on our desk, then we watch the list grow and grow without seeing the possibilities on the horizon. Breakthrough Goals are aspirational concepts that bring out the best in leaders.<\/p>\n

\"Mike
Mike Anderson, one of the LSS managers, enjoyed sharing his Breakthrough Goals in the Roundtable Discussion at the breakfast.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At the request of Jodi Harpstead, each LSS manager at the end of the year stands and shares an accounting of what progress s\/he made on Breakthrough Goals. “We all share our individual accomplishments with our goal\u00a0– ‘yes’ or ‘no’ – and if we can’t say ‘yes’, then we share what good things happened because we pursued the goal,”<\/em>\u00a0she beamed.\u00a0“My greatest satisfaction as a leader is in helping and watching the people in our organization achieve Breakthrough Goals.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The Challenge for us<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a striking turn on her topic, Jodi proudly shared she is inspired by The Goodness Pledge<\/a> created by our firm, Good Leadership Enterprises. She has the pledge posted in plain sight next to the computer\u00a0in her office. She challenged the Good Leadership Breakfast guests: “What breakthroughs might happen across our country if everyone took The Goodness Pledge on Inauguration Day in January? Including you?”<\/em> Then she read The Goodness Pledge from center stage, aloud with confidence:<\/p>\n

\"Jodi
Jodi Harpstead, CEO of LSS of Minnesota, shared her excitement about The Goodness Pledge.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Carpe Diem: the world needs me to be a good leader who radiates goodness today.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I choose to be happy because what we concentrate on grows! <\/strong><\/p>\n

I will blend the Seven Fs into my work so I can live with less stress and lead with less fear:\u00a0faith, family, finances, fitness, friends, fun\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0future.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I will role model rewarding excellence, living generously, promoting fairness <\/em>and spreading positivity<\/em>. <\/strong><\/p>\n

And I promise to build on the goodness in others so we can all thrive.<\/strong><\/p>\n
