#49 Three Management Tools to Build Leadership Capacity
Welcome to the 3x5 leadership podcast―a show dedicated to making more intentional leaders regardless of role, rank, or responsibility because we believe that better leaders and build a better world. The reality is, however, that you cannot successfully and sustainably pour into others from an empty cup. So, how do you keep your cup full as a leader? This show aims to help by filling your cup with simple, practical strategies so you can live, lead, and learn more intentionally.

We spend a lot of time talking about leading others and leading well. But what about leading ourselves? What does that mean, and how can we do it well? Leading yourself means taking charge of the resources that only you can control, which are your time and attention. And to do that well means to effectively employ the management tools that also help teams of any size make meaningful progress.
This episode will give you three management tools to start taking control of your personal resources to make better use of your time, plan ahead instead of react to everything, and streamline your own execution.
We believe that these tools and methods are foundational to getting organized, staying organized, and spending your time and effort on things you really want to see move forward in your work and life. This episode will give you the resources you need to:
- Set up a recurring schedule that keeps you on task and on track to your big goals
- Keeps your priorities front-and-center, helping reduce distractions by the less important but seemingly urgent
- Get the necessary things done and make more room for strategic thinking and planning
We all have the same number of hours in a day, but the way we spend them can be wildly different. These self-management tools will help get you on track to become more effective in the things that mean the most to you, while maintaining the consistency and reliability that people around you depend upon.
