And in 2021, he launched The Thinking Leader Podcast, featuring conversations with business and thought leaders, cognitive scientists, military officers, and other bestselling authors who share his desire to help people think more deeply and lead more effectively.

Welcome to another episode of The Thinking Leader podcast, brought to you by Red Team Thinking. In this episode, Bryce Hoffman talks to Marc Cox, president of The Company Spirit and the author of The Business Case For Love: How Companies Get Bragged About Today.   Cox believes that the best companies succeed in part because they love their customers, love their employees, and build authentic relationships with both of these critical cohorts. He urges leaders to turn up the volume on emotional engagement in order to drive loyalty and boost profits.   Bryce shares some examples from his own work of how successful leaders used love to not only motivate their employees, but also to rebuild damaged relationships with suppliers, dealers, and other key stakeholders.   Top 10 Takeaways:  [2:00] Marc makes the business case for love. [3:10] Bryce talks about how Alan Mulally used love as a leadership tool. [5:02] Employees want to work for a company they believe in and can be proud of. [7:00] Customers want something more than a transactional experience. [8:03] BrewDog is an example of a company that “gets it.” [9:17] Gymshark is another one. [16:50] The best companies are those that remain rooted in their founding spirit. [19:49] Marc talks about how companies that have lost that mojo can get it back again. [28:10] Companies lose their way because leaders fail to recognize the emotional component of their businesses. [32:02] Marc explains how you justify the ROI in love.   Mentioned in this episode: Brought to you by Red Team Thinking The Business Case For Love The Company Spirit Brew Dog Gymshark Airbnb British Airways Bosch Global Orangina Crew Clothing Company East Midlands Airport East Coast Main Line Neverfail American Icon: Alan Mulally and the Fight to Save Ford Motor Company, by Bryce G.

In the book, “American Icon” by Bryce G. Hoffman, I found a valuable strategy for driving accountability in your business. If you want to start creating a culture of accountability, you need to stay on top of the problems together with your teams. To do this, I suggest implementing something called a BPR.A BPR, or Business Process Review, is a simple strategy for running meetings and taking action that was first used by Alan Mulally when he took over at Ford Motor Company. At the time, the company was on the verge of going out of business. However, with this strategy and others, he was able to turn that company around within a span of four years.Much of his success lies in how he went about creating a culture of accountability. In order to start driving accountability, he had all of the leadership teams report regularly on the KPIs for their areas of responsibility. But they didn't only report on the numbers. They also had to report on their status based on a scorecard that could be green, yellow, or red. Green meant that the team was on track, yellow meant that the team had a problem with a solution, and red meant that there was a problem that did not yet have a solution.This allowed Alan to start driving accountability because it kept everyone on top of their problems. If your business is in a growth mode it means you have more teams, more processes, and more moving parts than before. By creating a culture of accountability, you can stay on top of your own problems and get them solved more quickly.Connect with me on LinkedInWatch episodes on our YouTube Channel Watch this episode on our YouTube Channel Schedule a discovery call with me www.kaizenperformance.com

It was more about legacy.” “If you don’t know what’s going on in your people’s personal lives, how can you ever expect them to be productive?” “If you don’t know how to deal with anxiety in your workplace right now, you are dead on arrival.” “You can be demanding, and you can be kind.”   Ways to Subscribe to Redefining The Top One Percent:   Apple Podcast Stitcher PlayerFM Spotify

As part of the COVID-19 & Fundraising Virtual Summit by Petrus, Darin Paine, PhD shares a presentation on how to Red Team your Development Program. "When a plan is in place we often focus on what it will accomplish. However, we may miss critical considerations or get derailed by unexpected variables. But, what if considering the unexpected was part of the plan? What if the unexpected had already been discussed? Red Teaming is a way to question the plan, to identify weaknesses, to give your rogue colleagues a voice - without being a jerk - and incorporate more of your organization. With historical roots to modern day military training, Red Teaming can help you conquer the competition by challenging everything. Based on Bryce G. Hoffman's book, Red Teaming.""Over the past week, it seems like so much has changed. With thousands of confirmed cases of Coronavirus, or COVID-19, in the U.S., it seems like every hour another group is announcing a closure or cancellation. The question on our minds today is how will this affect our ministries? Regardless of who you serve, there will be shifts and changes that we have to be mindful of and adapt to.At Petrus, we are committed to continuing to serve our clients and the nonprofit community now as much as ever. While this may be a scary time, it does not and should not be a time of inaction. In 2 Timothy, Paul says that the Lord “has not given us a spirit of fear or timidity, but of love, power and self-control.” Let us continue to work together on behalf of our ministries and our benefactors to build the Kingdom of God.Join us for our FREE VIRTUAL SUMMIT every day from MARCH 17 - APRIL 3 for conversations and presentations about topics relevant to fundraising during and after the COVID-19 Pandemic."Links & Resources:https://www.petrusdevelopment.com/virtual-summithttps://www.facebook.com/petrusdevelopmentpagehttps://www.facebook.com/groups/petrusdevelopmentVideo Recording of Virtual Summit: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCUcssQJBzQ-Gy-aQMSR0pg/Red Teaming by Bryce Hoffman: https://brycehoffman.com/books/red-teaming/

This episode shows you the importance of red teaming and how testing your assumptions can lead to greater success. Bryce G. Hoffman is an author, speaker, consultant, and strategic advisor who believes that individuals have the power to transform companies and cultures with the right processes. Hoffman wrote the bestselling book American Icon: Alan Mulally and the Fight to Save Ford Motor Company, which has become a manual for leaders who want to transform their companies. His latest book, Red Teaming: How Your Business Can Conquer the Competition by Challenging Everything, was just published by Crown Business in the United States and Little, Brown and Company in the United Kingdom.   Podcast Highlights Who is Bryce Hoffman? Bryce is a former journalist that witnessed many booms and busts and learned how businesses succeed or fail in the process. After writing American Icon, Bryce began getting asked to present and implement many of the ideas in the book in other businesses. This lead to consulting and Bryce’s second book Red Teaming. Don’t take your success for granted. You have to take great leaps forward to keep success going.   How Does Red Teaming Impact Business? Bryce was looking for a system that businesses can use to challenge their systems. Red teaming is the cure for institutional complacency. Success is a poor teacher. Everybody needs a system that challenges their assumptions and strategies. Red teaming can also be used to identify businesses that are vulnerable to being disrupted. Your Competitor’s Customers Are An Opportunity   How Much Work Is It To Apply Red Teaming? To get the full benefit of Red Teaming, you need a separate set of eyes to look at your plans.   Inside Versus Outside Red Teams Red Teaming Your Foregone Conclusions How many areas of your life could benefit from reevaluating your assumptions? Reference: Bryce Hoffman, American Icon: Alan Mulally and the Fight to Save Ford Motor Company Bryce Hoffman, Red Teaming: How Your Business Can Conquer the Competition by Challenging Everything   Bryce’s Takeaway Just ask “why?”. Why is one of the most powerful words in the English language, there is no danger to asking why. Just because you’re Red Teaming your plan doesn’t mean that there is anything wrong with your plan, but you won’t know that until you subject it to stress testing and scrutiny.   Links: www.brycehoffman.com www.redteamthinking.com Thank you for listening!

About Red Teaming Red Teaming is a revolutionary new way to make critical and contrarian thinking part of the planning process of any organization, allowing companies to stress-test their strategies, flush out hidden threats and missed opportunities and avoid being sandbagged by competitors. Today, most — if not all — established corporations live with the gnawing fear that there is another Uber out there just waiting to disrupt their industry. Red Teaming is the cure for this anxiety. The term was coined by the U.S. Army, which has developed the most comprehensive and effective approach to Red Teaming in the world today in response to the debacles of its recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. However, the roots of Red Teaming run very deep: to the Roman Catholic Church’s “Office of the Devil’s Advocate,” to the Kriegsspiel of the Prussian General Staff and to the secretive AMAN organization, Israel’s Directorate of Military Intelligence. In this book, author Bryce Hoffman shows business how to use the same techniques to better plan for the uncertainties of today’s rapidly changing economy. Red Teaming is both a set of analytical tools and a mindset. It is designed to overcome the mental blind spots and cognitive biases that all of us fall victim to when we try to address complex problems. The same heuristics that allow us to successfully navigate life and business also cause us to miss or ignore important information. It is a simple and provable fact that we do not know what we do not know. The good news is that, through Red Teaming, we can find out. In this book, Hoffman shows how the most innovative and disruptive companies, such as Google and Toyota, already employ some of these techniques organically. He also shows how many high-profile business failures, including those that sparked the Great Recession, could easily have been averted by using these approaches. Most importantly, he teaches leaders how to make Red Teaming part of their own planning process, laying the foundation for a movement that will change the way America does business.

We're barely into the new year and already, things are changing that could very well get your 2016 plans off track.  That is unless you planned for change, planned for distractions, planned for new opportunities.  My business has a mission statement, but beyond that, I create a mission statement for my year too.  Each year, I think of the goals I have and following that, I define the year I expect to have.  This allows me to weigh each of my decisions against that mission statement.  If it doesn't line up, it doesn't make the cut.  This week, I review an article written by Bryce G. Hoffman called "Nine Things I Learned from Alan Mulally", the former CEO of Ford.  Mulally has an incredible business management style that brought Ford back from the brink of bankruptcy, and I want to talk about his leadership values and how you can incorporate them into your own.
