Leadership Lifestyle Podcast

Yes, I know, the old saying goes it takes years to build trust but only seconds to break it!  I'm not saying that's false, but most relationships you'll have will only take seconds to build trust.  If fact, the long term trust you build with someone actually did occur it seconds.  On this week's episode of the Leadership Lifestyle Podcast, I'll break it down, share some real-life stories, and most importantly, give you some skills to implement immediately to build trust in seconds....not years.

We've all heard the expression, short term gain-long term pain.  That's what happens when teams are managed through fear like, hit these numbers or else.  It's also an incredibly lazy way to lead people. In fact, I wouldn't consider you a leader if this is what you do.  On this week's episode on the Leadership Lifestyle Podcast, I'll explain that your Culture level will determine your level of Execution.  Don't think that wow, I don't have the time or energy to create a strong Culture.  The reality is, creating the right Culture is actually more about a change in mindset before actually doing anything. Sure, you can have some execution based on force or tough love or the old do it or I'll find someone who will.  You will win in the short term, but you won't build anything.  You won't build a team or create opportunities you didn't even know you had. The fact that you're listening to a podcast says you are not that kind of leader.  Take a short 24-minute journey into how you can drive Execution with a very strong Culture.

Leadership isn't like it was 15 or 20 years ago.  Soft skills are the hard skills and there isn't a more powerful soft skill like empathy.  Even though most don't always use this skill, it has always worked.  Think of the books created by Dale Carnegie.  They are over 100 years old.  It's about the principal of connecting and understanding others.  On this week's episode of the Leadership Lifestyle Podcast, we take on the challenges of leading with empathy.  We all know it's the best way to connect and grow your team, so what's holding us back?  Let's dive in to building a better team.
