Through this episode, you'll learn how to stop waiting for permission to lead, how to leverage timing with precision, and how to speak up in the moments that matter.

It's a prophetic invitation to step fully into your leadership—not for applause, but for assignment. If you're ready to activate your Esther moment, this episode will show you exactly how. This is your invitation to stop performing and start positioning—because the people you're called to serve are waiting on your courage.

Let's face it, most of our thoughts about leadership position leaders as folks on the top.  People who have pushed the envelope and have succeeded against great odds.  Is there anything to say for those who have not gone to the top?  People who for one reason or another are in second place.  In the life of John the Baptist we can't help noticing that Jesus did not call him to be an Apostle.  In fact, He let him die as a martyr in prison without ever publicly following him.  What's the place for leadership that's both humble and deep?

Anyone who leads in today's world knows how important it is to stay in the middle.  After all if we want to have impact in our world we have to belong to it.  And yet are there times when witness is necessary?  Or at least an invitation to go deeper than our customary ways?  In the life of St. John the Baptist we have the example of someone who was extraordinarily successful in his leadership and then put it all on the line to bear witness to the truth.  In this episode we let him inspire us.

The life of St. John the Baptist is a study in detachment.  From forsaking the goods of this earth and the relationships of natural human society to going without in his many forms of asceticism to finally letting go to his own claim to glory and his own claim to his disciples.  St. John the Baptist was poor in spirit.  And yet his influence was extremely powerful. What is the connection between his poverty of heart and the incredible influence that he gave as a Christian leader?

Leadership puts us in the spotlight.  Like it or not, leaders are out in front.  If we follow the ways of the world, the natural prominence of leadership can result in negative consequences like arrogance and self conceit.  It was just the opposite, however, for St. John the Baptist.  He used his prominence to promote Christ and he learned how to make himself disappear behind the glory of the one who came after him.  This is Part 4 of our series on The Bold Leadership of John the Baptist.

Most of us know the figure of John the Baptist but not all of us our familiar with his actual message.  At the heart of John the Baptist's proclamation was the phrase “Repent, for the kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”  What does it mean to repent and how is this essential to our leadership today?  In this third part of our series on the bold leadership of John the Baptist, we explore the meaning and significance of his proclamation and show how it impacts us even today.

Unleashing Change: How Gen Z's Bold Leadership is Reshaping Our World In this Dov Baron, Solo "Shortcast" episode, we explore the seismic shift brought by Gen Z's bold approach to leadership, which is not just changing the game—it's rewriting the rules. . Outdated leadership tactics still prevalent today are as obsolete as a folded map in the era of digital navigation. Join me as we unfold how Gen Z's influence in politics and the economy signals a crucial pivot point for leaders everywhere. . Key Learnings: Redefining Leadership: Just as transitioning from physical maps to digital navigation requires adaptation, today's leaders must evolve beyond outdated models to stay relevant. The rise of Gen Z has shown that traditional leadership practices are outdated and can lead to significant disconnects with younger generations. The Power of Emotional Drivers: The 2024 election victory driven by Gen Z underscores the importance of understanding younger demographics' emotional and value-driven motivations. Leaders who fail to grasp these fundamental drivers will find themselves sidelined in the evolving political and economic landscapes. Recognizing the Invisible: Many young professionals, especially from Gen Z, feel overlooked by current leadership paradigms that prioritize profits over people. Addressing this disconnect requires a shift to recognition and psychological safety, fostering an environment where everyone feels valued and seen. Creating Meaningful Connections: The concept of the Emotional Source Code (ESC) highlights the importance of tapping into individuals' core emotional needs to foster a deeply engaged and loyal team. Leaders must learn to recognize and address these emotional undercurrents to prevent disengagement and turnover. . By embracing these insights, leaders can navigate the new terrain with a map that truly guides them to connect, inspire, and lead with authenticity and effectiveness. . Stay tuned as we explore these transformative strategies that are essential for anyone looking to lead in this dynamic new era. Remember, the journey to great leadership begins with understanding the emotional landscapes of those you wish to lead.   .  . Dov Baron's brand new course has just been released on coursifyx.com/belonging ------------- Titled: "CREATING A CULTURE OF BELONGING."

The Flower Analogy: Lessons in Leadership and Design from Anderson Gomes da Silva In the recent episode of Creative Leaders Unplugged, Anderson Gomes da Silva, Head of Product Design at Bol.com, shared his thoughts on leadership, design, and innovation. Among the many insights he offered, one stood out as a profound metaphor for organizations and systems: the “Flower Analogy.” Anderson described how managers often strive to organize their teams or systems into neat, labeled categories. He likened this to taking a flower and meticulously separating its petals, stems, and leaves into individual boxes, labeling and arranging them perfectly. The result? While the parts are now cataloged and visually satisfying, the flower itself is no longer alive. This analogy captures a fundamental tension in leadership: the urge to impose structure and control versus the need to nurture living, interconnected systems that thrive on complexity and adaptability. The Dangers of Over-Organization Anderson's flower analogy is a reminder of the risks associated with over-managing or siloing teams within an organization. While structure and order are essential for clarity and efficiency, excessive compartmentalization can kill the very creativity and dynamism that make teams effective. A company isn't a collection of isolated parts—it's a living organism. When we forget this, we risk stifling growth and innovation. This challenge is especially relevant in today's fast-changing world, where agility and collaboration are key to staying competitive. As Anderson pointed out, many organizations are tempted to box their teams into rigid roles or processes to create a sense of predictability. But true innovation happens when teams interact across boundaries, share ideas, and tackle problems together. Design Thinking as a Holistic Practice In the interview, Anderson emphasized the value of seeing problems systemically—a key tenet of design thinking. Just as a designer must consider multiple perspectives (user experience, market viability, technical feasibility), leaders must take a holistic view of their organizations. By rotating the “flower” and examining it from different angles, leaders can understand how various parts contribute to the whole. Anderson's leadership philosophy extends beyond design. He applies design principles to his own role, mapping stakeholders, visualizing team dynamics, and prototyping better systems. This iterative and exploratory approach ensures that the “flower” of his organization remains vibrant and alive. Balancing Chaos and Order Anderson also spoke about the delicate balance between chaos and order. He acknowledged the need for systems and tools to bring stability to repetitive tasks—an area where he excels through automation. However, he stressed the importance of leaving room for creative exploration and serendipitous connections. Creativity thrives at the intersection of chaos and order. Leaders who can navigate this space—like a gardener tending to a living, growing flower—foster teams that adapt, innovate, and flourish.   A Call to Leaders: Keep the Flower Alive The flower analogy is a poignant reminder for leaders: don't let the need for control suffocate the life out of your organization. Instead, focus on nurturing connections, embracing complexity, and fostering a culture where creativity and collaboration can thrive. As Anderson said, “Organized things are chaos; natural things are prosperity.” The best leaders understand that their role is not to impose rigidity but to cultivate a dynamic ecosystem where innovation blooms.

Welcome back to another episode of the Multifamily Collective! Today, I discuss the powerful quote from Roy H. Williams' book, *The Wizard of Ads*: "The risk of insult is the price of clarity." As a masterful copywriter and founder of The Wizard Academy, Williams emphasizes the necessity of boldness in communication. You may risk offending others when striving for clarity, especially in multifamily and PropTech leadership. It's crucial to understand that your unique perspective, shaped by your upbringing and experiences, will sometimes clash with prevailing sentiments. Yet, this conflict is often necessary for clear and effective leadership. In times of crisis, hesitation can lead to failure. Leaders must be decisive, even if it means ruffling a few feathers. Being transparent and direct is not just about persuasion; it's about ensuring your vision is understood and acted upon swiftly.

The roles are reversed in this episode as Andrea is interviewed on the X-Factor podcast. Andrea dives deep into the high-stakes world of private equity leadership and shares invaluable insights on thriving under pressure, mastering mindset, and balancing strategy with execution.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Performance coaching is not about fixing weaknesses but enhancing abilities to succeed at a higher level, focusing on the connection between mindset, action, and performance. Successful leaders in uncertain environments must balance short-term results with long-term vision, dealing with ambiguity and creating a bold future while managing current challenges. In private equity-backed companies, leaders must make decisions quickly with limited information, trusting instinct and simplifying processes to avoid unnecessary complexity. Effective CXOs strike a balance between respecting their private equity board and confidently advancing their own ideas, fostering open communication and transparency. Execution is crucial in private equity environments, with boards expecting management teams to implement strategies effectively rather than just focusing on planning. Leaders must clearly communicate strategy throughout the organisation, ensuring collective ownership and empowering teams to execute efficiently. Mindset shifts are essential for high performance, allowing leaders to change their frame of reference and achieve extraordinary results. Building strong relationships with board members, including one-on-one connections, can lead to better support and involvement in strategic decisions. BEST MOMENTS "The only way to drive performance in any organisation, either for ourselves, for the business, is by, of course, changing our actions. But the only way to change our actions is by shifting our mindset." "Those leaders that will be able to work on a burning platform, meanwhile creating that future that is ambitious, is bold, is important for investors, is important as well for employees, they're going to succeed." "Good news [travels] fast, bad news [travels] faster. So transparency, openness, you're not going to do yourselves any favours by delaying shared information." "The reason why most of the time organisations really struggle to execute a strategy is because the strategy is not clear or because there are so many contradictory points in the strategy." "There is an expectation strategy is defined by the board, but the reality is the board is just waiting for the organisation to execute." VALUABLE RESOURCES Like the show?

Transforming Your Business and Customer Experience  Shep Hyken interviews John Rossman, executive coach, advisor, and keynote speaker on leadership, innovation, and transformation. He talks about leading big bets and driving successful organizational transformations – which is especially important when leading a customer service or CX initiative.  This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more:    What is a “big bet” in business?  How does the future press release technique communicate the vision of a transformation to employees and stakeholders?  What is the chief repeating officer, and how do they contribute to improving customer experience?  What causes organizational transformations to fail?  What role does gaining true senior executive alignment play in the success of transformative initiatives?  Top Takeaways:    A big bet is any concept, approach, project, or strategy with a high potential for impacting our customers and business.    Effective leaders communicate their vision clearly. They use techniques including  writing memos, defining the desired outcome, and creating future press releases to make the vision concrete and understandable. This approach rallies everyone in the organization around a common goal and gives them a clear understanding of their roles in achieving it.    Smart communication methods can inspire and mobilize employees. Mission and vision statements should be clear, simple, and focused on the desired outcomes. By consistently repeating the organization's mission and vision, leaders create a unified and empowered workforce.    Obtaining genuine alignment among senior leaders is critical to the success of transformative initiatives. Ensuring that leaders truly understand the mission, outcomes, and implications of the transformation helps to overcome organizational silos and fosters collaboration.    Leading organizational transformations demands an understanding of potential resistance points. Acknowledging challenges and being empathetic towards potential pushback from teams can help in creating a smoother transition.     Plus, John shares transformation strategies that successful leaders and organizations implement from his new book, Big Bet Leadership. Tune in!  Quote:   "The best transformations you can undertake are those that impact your customers directly. It's all about understanding the problem and outcomes your customers are trying to achieve."  About:    John Rossman is the author of four books on leadership, business, and customer experience, including the bestseller The Amazon Way. His latest book, Big Bet Leadership: Your Transformation Playbook for Winning in the Hyper-Digital Era, is available today.  Shep Hyken is a customer service and experience expert, New York Times bestselling author, award-winning keynote speaker, and host of Amazing Business Radio.       Learn more about your ad choices.
