“[In contrast to] the ‘either/or', ‘right/wrong' mindset where there's nothing in between - paradoxical thinking would say, ‘What if it's both? What if there's value in understanding the first path, and value in equally understanding the other path, and even the third?' … It's about being able to hold that tension between paths.” – Renee Moorefield Finding comfort in the contradiction When we experience a paradox, we feel pulled in separate directions, without a clear or simple solution. Most of us find sitting with that paradox uncomfortable, which is why we tend to look for a quick and easy solution - something we can rally around as well as defend. Our brains to do not like open loops, which makes tolerating paradox uncomfortable and why we avoid the feeling of being stuck in the middle! Renee Moorefield's Be Well Lead Well Pulse assessment measures the wellbeing of leaders across 19 dimensions. Research conducted by external experts shows that when leaders have a strong sense of wellbeing, they're more able to thrive amidst paradoxical situations. They can more easily navigate opposing ideas, extract important elements from each, and propose integrated solutions. So when we expand our minds beyond the binary, we can avoid oversimplification and transcend it to create new, richer and more sustainable paths. Be Well Lead Well Pulse overview [04:12] “The Be Well Lead Well Pulse assessment is built on a framework of thriving, and the framework of thriving has 19 dimensions of wellbeing and stress resilience [that] feed into six dimensions…the framework was built to support leaders and all of us in having a sense of internal resourcefulness, and meet our complex demands.” Wellbeing and paradoxical leadership [24:06] “[You have] the ability to transcend the situation, because you're looking for other perspectives, so you're not stuck in the conflict. You're really looking at it like, ‘I wonder how this could be true,' almost with a sense of play and experimentation and looking for value - and then looking for another perspective that transcends what you feel you're in.” [23:25] “We found that leaders reporting high levels of well-being were 38% (so close to 40%) more apt to report scoring high in their ability to lead paradoxes.” Our brainstorm of practices [27:22] “A paradox is not a problem that can be solved easily…To understand, usually have to slow down and start asking questions and start seeking a new perspective that maybe you weren't taking on the situation.” [43:29] “As a daily routine, [start] a very basic mindfulness practice…the heart of mindfulness is about being present in the moment without judging it as good or bad, right or wrong, either/or…that alone can create insight, and possibly some movement, just becoming aware without judgment.” Previous episodes with Renee Moorefield: Episode 6: An Essential Link: Wellbeing and Leader Effectiveness https://rise-leaders.com/podcast?ppplayer=2166354b3000fc311ad1272907939efb&ppepisode=1bc82973e146e48e32750026acef538d Episode 24: Leadership, Ethnicity + Wellbeing | Renee Moorefield & Jane Cocking https://rise-leaders.com/podcast?ppplayer=2166354b3000fc311ad1272907939efb&ppepisode=56f067defda899999cbb06f0e8d904d6   Resources: Be Well Lead Well Pulse Insights:  Effectively Leading Through Paradox:  A Pivotal Role for Wellbeing https://www.bewellleadwell.com/effectively-leading-through-paradox/ Renee Moorefield https://www.linkedin.com/in/reneemoorefield/ Be Well Lead Well Pulse https://www.bewellleadwell.com/ Be Well Lead Well Pulse certification program in May 2022:  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/be-well-lead-well-pulse-certification-a-remote-learning-experience-registration-258172730587 Thinking Hats - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Thinking_Hats EDS:  Electronic Data Systems:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Data_Systems Newsletter sign up: https://mailchi.mp/426e78bc9538/subscribe To discuss executive coaching, leadership development program design, and workshop facilitation, please visit: https://rise-leaders.com/contact-info/

Today on the Leadership Podcast, Bradley sits down with Colonel Jeff McCausland, PhD and Colonel Tom Vossler.  They are bringing strategies used to win famous military battles to business owners. They share: “There is little doubt that our nation is in crisis. Given the ongoing pandemic, political/social divisions, and enormous economic challenges, I know you'll agree with two concerns—one, that emphasis on leading during a crisis is definitely needed, and two, we need great leaders now more than ever!” In their latest book, Battle Tested! Gettysburg Leadership Lessons for 21st Century Leaders you'll find captivating and thought-provoking stories. It directly addresses both previously mentioned concerns by bringing the historic leadership lessons of the Gettysburg Battlefield to life through vivid storytelling and discussions of leadership lessons—both won and lost. They share enduring leadership lessons that are as appropriate today as they were in the 19th century. The book tells the story of Union and Confederate soldiers, generals, and politicians during this iconic struggle when the fate of our nation hung in the balance. It analyzes their decisions as they relate to leadership principles and provides insights for 21st century leaders. Colonel Tom Vossler has thirty years of active military service, including command of a platoon in Vietnam. He is a distinguished historian and certified Gettysburg expert. Dr. Jeff McCausland is the founder and CEO of Diamond6 Leadership & Strategy. He is a retired Colonel, West Point graduate, and commanded a battalion during the Gulf War. Tom and Jeff are seasoned combat veterans with decades of leadership experience. They pay respect to the sacrifice and heroics of the leaders at Gettysburg by using their stories to develop leaders for today. Jeff also serves as the National Security Consultant for CBS Radio and Television. He has been interviewed thousands of times for radio and television news during his near 20 years with CBS. Since the publication of Battle Tested! he has also been interviewed about it on dozens of radio stations and podcasts across the United States.

Photo: Ashoka the Great was an Indian emperor of the Maurya Dynasty who ruled almost all of the Indian subcontinent from c. 268 to 232 BCE. Ashoka promoted the spread of Buddhism across ancient Asia. Considered by many to be one of India's greatest emperors, Ashoka expanded Chandragupta's empire to reign over territory stretching from present-day Afghanistan in the west to present-day Bangladesh in the east. After the bloody war of Kalinga, Ashoka became upset with the bloodshed and vowed never to fight again.  The emblem of the modern Republic of India is an adaptation of the Lion Capital of Ashoka. His Sanskrit name "Aśoka" means "painless, without sorrow."   In The Outline of History (1920), H. G. Wells wrote, "Amidst the tens of thousands of names of monarchs that crowd the columns of history, their majesties and graciousnesses and serenities and royal highnesses and the like, the name of Ashoka shines, and shines, almost alone, a star." @Batchelorshow Jeff McCausland #Unbound.

Audible Audiobook– Unabridged https://www.amazon.com/Battle-Tested-Gettysburg-Leadership-Lessons/dp/1642934534 In order to be a truly effective leader, it is necessary to learn as much as possible from the examples of history—the disasters as well as the triumphs. At Gettysburg, Union and Confederate commanders faced a series of critical leadership challenges under the enormous stress of combat. The fate of the nation hung in the balance. Each of these leaders responded in different ways, but the concepts and principles they applied during those traumatic three days contain critical lessons for today's leaders that are both useful and applicable—whether those leaders manage operations at a large corporation, supervise a public institution, lead an athletic team, or govern a state or municipality.   In the twenty-first century, leadership is the indispensable quality that separates successful organizations from failures. Successful leaders communicate vision, motivate team members, and inspire trust. One must move both people and the collective organization into the future while, at the same time, dealing with the past. A leader must learn to master the dynamic requirements of decision-making and change.

Of greater interest is the indication of the location of Sickles's 3rd Corps along the Emmitsburg Road on the morning of July 2nd, and their new position at the base of Little Round Top by nightfall. Sickles, having overextended his line, left himself open to a flank attack by Hood's division. "Night of July 2nd."

In this episode I’m joined by Dr. Jeffrey McCausland, a retired U.S. Army Colonel and author of the book “Battle Tested!: Gettysburg Leadership Lessons for 21st Century Leaders”. He uses the events in the Battle of Gettysburg to explain how one can be a leader in today’s corporate world.

Audible Audiobook– Unabridgedhttps://www.amazon.com/Battle-Tested-Gettysburg-Leadership-Lessons/dp/1642934534In order to be a truly effective leader, it is necessary to learn as much as possible from the examples of history—the disasters as well as the triumphs. At Gettysburg, Union and Confederate commanders faced a series of critical leadership challenges under the enormous stress of combat. The fate of the nation hung in the balance. These leaders each responded in different ways, but the concepts and principles they applied during those traumatic three days contain critical lessons for today’s leaders that are both useful and applicable—whether those leaders manage operations at a large corporation, supervise a public institution, lead an athletic team, or govern a state or municipality.  In the twenty-first century, leadership is the indispensable quality that separates successful organizations from failures. Successful leaders communicate vision, motivate team members, and inspire trust. One must move both people and the collective organization into the future while, at the same time, dealing with the past. A leader must learn to master the dynamic requirements of decision-making and change.

It is not easy to see how matters could be worsened by a parley at the summit.'Winston Churchill coined the term 'summit' in 1950, during some of the darkest days of the Cold War. In the second half of the twentieth century summit meetings became a central element of international diplomacy -- among them dramatic encounters such as Kennedy and Khrushchev at Vienna in 1961 and Reagan and Gorbachev in Reykjavik in 1986. Today summits are in the headlines all the time -- for meetings of the EU, G8 and G20 -- and the word is often used in other walks of life, especially in business. But there is relatively little reflection about what summit meetings are supposed to achieve or about their costs as well as benefits.We need to take a long view of summitry, exploring why, for most of history, leaders deliberately avoided face-to-face meetings. We should look more closely at some of the classic Cold War meetings, asking why some worked and others did not. And we also need to understand how summitry has changed since the Cold War. 'Lessons' from the past are always tentative but this lecture suggests what twenty-first century statesmen might learn from history, if they have the time and inclination.The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website:http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/summit-diplomacy-some-lessons-from-history-for-21st-century-leadersGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597. This tradition continues today with all of our five or so public lectures a week being made available for free download from our website.
