NOTE: This episode is the second of a two part special featuring legendary CEO Alan Mulally. If you haven't yet listened to Part l, we strongly recommend that you do. During Part l, Alan goes over two very important slides that outline his Working Together Management System and personal leadership philosophy. You can view them here: https://www.redteamthinking.com/mulally-slides-1. Please take the time to print them out before listening, so that you can follow along. Or better yet, you can watch this episode and see the slides on Red Team TV: https://www.red-team.tv! Welcome to another episode of The Thinking Leader podcast, brought to you by Red Team Thinking. Bad leaders react, good leaders plan, and great leaders think. Each week, Bryce and Marcus bring you actionable ideas and insights that you can use to think more strategically and lead more effectively so that you can better navigate your complex world. In this episode, Bryce and Marcus talk with legendary CEO, Alan Mullaly about servant leadership and how Alan used his Working Together Management System to save not one, but two, iconic American companies: Boeing and Ford. Alan Mullaly began his career as an Aerospace engineer at Boeing, rising to become president and CEO of that company's commercial airplanes group in 2001. He led Boeing through its near-death experience after 9/11 and returned the company to record profitability in less than five years. A lot of people took notice of that, and one of them was Bill Ford. His company, Ford Motor Co., was on the brink of bankruptcy in 2006. Bill Ford stepped aside and turned the automaker over to Mulally. Alan went on to lead a top-to-bottom global restructuring that transformed Ford into one of the most profitable automakers in the world — and he did it in the midst of The Great Recession, while the rest of the American automobile industry collapsed around him, and he did it without taking a government bailout. It is one of the most amazing comebacks in business history. It was also the subject of Bryce's first book: American Icon: Alan Mulally and the Fight to Save Ford Motor Company.

In September, Ford Motor Company hired top Apple Executive Doug Field to run a secret division at the company. Another big move in Ford's history, back in September 2006, Ford hired Alan Mullaly, former EVP at Boeing, as CEO of their company.Why am I mentioning both of these big, out-of-the-box hires from Ford? It isn't because I own some of their stock, it's because these moves were considered bold. For the longest time, Automotive was very insular, hiring those from within the same sector, stealing the latest ‘hot shot' in automotive as their ‘bold move' promoting from within instead of being open to new innovations and a new vision for not only the company but the industry. In this episode, we're talking about what it takes to be successful. How bolder thinking, new ideas, changed perspectives and controversial opinions are the only way to get ahead and expand.

I first heard of Gary Heil and Ryan Heil PhD, through a Washington Speakers Bureau program called "Leadership Lessons from the Fast Lane". Gary is the host of several programs there and I was impressed with Gary's interview skills. Here is a link to one of those interviews Gary did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQyfWOy3d6I&t=2632s.I also learned that along with Ryan, Gary had written a book CHOOSE LOVE Not Fear: How The Best Leaders Build Cultures of Engagement and Innovation That Unleash Human Potential. I bought and read the book, and now they are on the Business Builders Show. I highly recommend the book. .Few discussion points from our conversation:Tell me more about Alan Mullaly's "Love em' up before you coach em' up".Should we become less tolerant of bad leaders?"Smart" goals may not be that smart.Performance vs PotentialConnect with Ryan on Linkedin at https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryanmheil/ and Gary Heil at https://www.linkedin.com/in/gary-heil-b46b98/Thank you for listening to the Business Builders Show with Marty Wolff on the Business Builders Media Network: businessbuildersmedia.com.

LAUNCHPAD LEADERS. Home base A conversation with launchpad leader Kelly Ellison Advantages of being a launchpad: 1. Sets a standard for growth and being growth minded 2. Guides the hiring process 3. Helps leaders to get to know others in the early days of their employment. 4. Affirms other's interests: a. Seeing their dream's goal b. Being inspired to hope Opportunities for launchpad leaders: 1. Recognize the reality that people are going to leave 2. Accept that investing in people is worth the emotional and operational toll 3. Assure that those on the launch pad stay long enough for character and leadership growth while bringing value to the business. 4. Avoid carrying the weight of another's development “Young leaders need be hungry to launch but humble to learn.” Kelly Ellison Bottom line: 1. Bet on leaders and bet on hope 2. Being a part of the bigger picture is worth the risk. Virtual leadership growth opportunity.

Every company has informal leaders. They don’t have a position, title or authority, but when they have an opinion, people listen. What would happen if you got your key people together and asked, “What kind of behavior should we expect from each other? How do we get to our next level of growth?” This is the Story of Alan Mullaly and a great leadership lesson.

Welcome to the Rogue Moments podcast presented by Callaway. Callaway used Rogue thinking to innovate and design the new #1 driver model in golf. In this special podcast mini-series, our host Bill Macatee talks to different industry leaders about how they did things differently and "went rogue" to find success, and how they're connected to the game of golf. Alan Mullaly is one of the icons of American business, and as the former president and CEO of Ford Motor Company he led the Company from a struggling company back to a global power in the auto industry. Alan explains how he was able to transform Ford into a leader, why he was a "surprise hire" to everyone, how he used small wins to solve big problems, and how playing golf for business got him hooked on the game.
