There is a high leverage opportunity in front of you

Together With

Good morning.

Before you dive into the dozen things that are already demanding your attention—pause. Take a breath. It’s Friday, and this is your chance to zoom out.

As a leader—the leader—of your community or communities, your job isn’t just to get things done. It’s to do the right things. The ones that create leverage. The ones that change the math.

Because here’s the truth: most leaders I know are fueled by a to-do list stacked with low-leverage tasks—tasks they didn’t even assign to themselves. They're excellent at checking boxes, but the real work? It’s still waiting.

So I’ll ask you this, right now, with your coffee in hand:

What is the most high-leverage function you can tackle today?

Elevate your Leadership

High leverage is about the 1 + 1 that equals 10. It’s not effort for effort’s sake. It’s precision. It’s choosing the moment that unlocks exponential returns—not just for you, but for your team, your residents, and the culture you’re shaping every day.

Maybe that means walking down the hall to reset expectations with a department leader—not to micromanage, but to realign. Maybe it’s tweaking a process that’s quietly draining hours and morale. Maybe it’s taking a half-hour to map out a strategy that no one else has time to think about, but everyone desperately needs.

But how do you know what your highest-leverage lever is? Start by looking for the move that solves not just today’s problem—but tomorrow’s, too. It’s often a single conversation or process change that will continue to drive positive impact for days, weeks, or even years. Sometimes, it’s the hard decision to remove a toxic leader whose presence has quietly been eroding your culture and performance. Other times, it’s about finally fixing—or replacing—a process that never delivered the outcomes it promised. The litmus test? If it improves the system after you walk away, you’re onto something.

So, today:

Look at your calendar: Is it filled with what’s urgent, or what’s transformative?
Audit your energy: Are you doing what only you can do?
Lead upstream: Where can one small change unlock major momentum? Think 1+1

You were not hired to be busy. You were called to lead. And leadership, real leadership, is choosing leverage over activity, strategy over chaos, impact over noise.

This Friday, be bold enough to let go of the checklist—long enough to make the move that matters most.

Let’s lead like it.
