๐Ÿคข You may not have soaked your audience in human waste today...but there's a good chance your words & actions have unwittingly made a few of your stakeholders nauseous in the last 24 hours.

So take a moment to dive into this conversation about the "Dave Matthews Band Chicago River incident" of August 8, 2004 and apply 5 tips from today's vomit-inducing anniversary that will help you shift from nauseating to energizing:

1) ๐€๐ฏ๐จ๐ข๐ ๐“๐จ๐ฑ๐ข๐œ ๐‚๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ง๐ข๐œ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ƒ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฌ: From late-night, non-urgent email requests to evasive-sounding conversations filled with hollow "corporate-sounding" clichรฉs, the easiest way to mitigate the impact of toxic communication releases is to avoid them in the first place

2) ๐‹๐š๐ฒ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ๐ž๐ซ ๐‚๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐š๐ข๐ง๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ: If you don't stop the ripple effect of toxic rumors among your gossiping front-line leaders, it can cause far more damage than a leaking pipeline or an overflowing tank

3) ๐…๐ข๐ฅ๐ญ๐ž๐ซ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐‘๐š๐ญ๐ž ๐˜๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐‚๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ง๐ข๐œ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ: Revisit your recent emails, meetings, phone calls, etc. and give them an emoji-based "nausea rating" from 1 to 5, where 1 nauseated face (๐Ÿคข) represents minimal vomit-inducing language; and 5 nauseated faces (๐Ÿคข๐Ÿคข๐Ÿคข๐Ÿคข๐Ÿคข) is on par with dumping 800 pounds of human waste on an unsuspecting group of tourists

4) ๐“๐ซ๐š๐ง๐ฌ๐ฅ๐š๐ญ๐ž ๐“๐จ๐ฑ๐ข๐œ ๐Œ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ๐š๐ ๐ž๐ฌ: transform corporate fluff into relevant and actionable messages BEFORE your audience starts coming up with their own (mis-)translations

5) ๐‚๐ฅ๐ž๐š๐ง ๐”๐ฉ ๐˜๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐Œ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ž๐ฌ: Whether it's a band who dumps human waste into a river, an company who has an inadvertent release, or a manager who suffers a flare-up of foot-in-mouth disease, owning up to mishaps and rectifying them swiftly gives you a chance to avoid leaving a permanently bad taste in stakeholders' mouths.

Do you spend enough time encouraging your employees to steal?

If not, check out this episode of The Energy Detox, where you'll hear:

1) how a theft-based culture can actually be the key to sustained success; and

2) why it's up to you as a leader to implement rules that make it easier for your employees to steal.

Curious where the inspiration for this unconventional advice comes from?

Well, look no further than the Pittsburgh Pirates, who have have used every tool (sword?) at their disposalโ€”including roster construction, data analytics, and MLB's bigger basesโ€”to lead the majors in steals and, more importantly, to lead the National League in wins.

Steal like a Pirate. Lead like a champ.

As you raise a ShaleRock Shakeโ„ข to the GREEN that weโ€™re LUCKY to have below our feet, take a moment to ask how many leaders you know who are...

๐ŸคขFull of malarkey

๐Ÿ€Over-dependent on luck; and

๐ŸUnwilling to drive the snakes out of their organizations.

โ˜˜๏ธTo help you answer that question and honor today's blending of Shale & Shamrocks, check out this & St. Patrick's Day episode of The Energy Detox:
