The premiere podcast for today’s leaders. Are you ready to amplify your leadership superpower? Each of us has a leadership superpower that makes us great. The five basic categories are accountability, confidence, problem solving, adaptability and enthusiasm. They give us an advantage at work and in our careers. Every week we amplify those superpowers through stories of success and struggle including interviews with industry experts; those who have walked the walk and now assist on our journey. Guests include John Lee Dumas of eofire, Aaron Walker of View From the Top and Matt Moniz professional mountaineer conquering mountains across the globe. If you love quotes, book deep dives, motivation and leadership principles for the modern workforce you have found the right podcast. I started this podcast because the old style of leadership isn’t working. The workforce has evolved because of technology and globalization of talent. As leaders, if we don’t adjust we will lose our followers. We will not reach our goals and we will not succeed. In short we will fall behind the competition. The Modern Leadership Podcast is part of JakeACarlson.com where you can take a free assessment to determine your leadership superpower and get ways to build your team through amplifying your skills. Your leadership style matters in work and in life – you make a HUGE impact. You CAN lead with an open mind and be approachable. You ARE ready to learn modern problem-solving skills. And, you CAN gain the confidence to reach your leadership potential. Here’s my take on leadership… We need more leaders. We need you. You have the makings of great leadership within you. You can command the respect you deserve by attracting the best co-workers and friends. You have a desire to change morale in the work place but feel unable to actually make that change. I’m here to bring those tools and skills into the place you spend most of your waking hours. Let’s make those hours great! You deserve happiness, respect and success. My job is guide you and your team to produce your best and most productive work. Plus, I believe skydiving with your team is the best way to break down barriers and have the time of your life. #truth Join us every week as we amplify our leadership superpowers on The Modern leadership Podcast. About the Host: Jake Carlson. My obsession is speaking publicly to large and small audiences, spreading the message of Modern Leadership and how it can make a difference both professionally and personally. Seeing people succeed, fulfill their life goals, and reach their potential through magnifying leadership qualities is my message. This led to the next big step in my life: In 2016 I transitioned to podcasting, speaking, writing, and mentoring full time. In order to focus all my time and energy around growing my businesses, our family is traveling the world for one year. I produce podcasts on the Modern Leadership podcast, write articles for multiple blogs, and prepare workshops based on leadership skills for companies and individuals.
