Leadership Insights for March 12th, 2025

Welcome to Leadership Insights! Each week, we curate transformative leadership insights and add our own expertise to help you lead with purpose and impact. Whether you’re a seasoned executive or an emerging leader, you’ll find actionable wisdom in every edition.


As I mentioned last week, March is a season of contradictions—longer days hint at spring, but the cold can still grip tightly. It’s a fitting metaphor for the balance between anticipation and patience. Just as we wait for the full arrival of spring, great results often come from steady effort over time. One powerful way to maintain momentum during this in-between phase is by setting “micro-goals”—small, manageable steps that build toward your larger objectives.

This week, choose one big goal you’re working on and break it into three micro-goals you can tackle in the next few days. These bite-sized wins will keep you motivated and focused while you wait for the bigger payoff.
