Blakeman believes that since the dawn of factories, our culture has slowly but steadily grown towards de-humanizing our workforce. This same trend is all too true in the world of dental practices. Kirk asks Blakeman for his best advice to return humanity to the 8 to 5, and takes a deep dive into a world where there are no longer managers. Re-humanizing a workplace that has been de-humanized by too much telling and not enough asking isn't an easy process, but from his bevy of experiences, Blakeman shares some of his best advice, starting with a return to our humanity through awareness and creativity. Blakeman goes on to illustrate how training is better than telling when it comes to building leaders, and that overall, a dental practice, or any workplace, needs input from its people to regain its collective humanity. The episode concludes with Blakeman's insight into turning employees into adults again, a practice that includes letting your people make decisions, making it possible for them to do what they like and what they're good at, and asking the most powerful question in business: "Why?" The final factor to take a practice from de-humanized to re-humanized is through examining your own mindset. Blakeman emphasized that if a leader thinks his or her people are stupid and lazy, those people will most likely be stupid and lazy. On the converse, when leaders believe that their people are smart and motivated, re-humanizing is not only possible, it's probable. Main Takeaways Awareness and creativity make us human (5:58) Training is better than telling when it comes to building leaders (16:34) Leaders don't tell, they ask (19:32) Managers have reports, leaders have followers (27:21) Decision-making makes us adults (29:10) Letting people do what they like and what they're good at re-humanizes the workplace (33:01) The most powerful and least asked question in business is "Why?" (38:49) When it comes to re-humanizing the workplace, the place to start is your own mindset (42:23) Key Quotes “We've de-humanized work. Now we have to figure out how to re-humanize it.” “What de-humanizes us is other people telling us what to do.” “What's the one thing most people at dental practices are not allowed to do at work? Make decisions.” “People commit to what they create.” “You can impose any goal you want on anybody, but if they don't believe it, it's not going to come true.” “Managers need to become leaders and they do that by asking questions, instead of making statements.” “Why is the most human of questions. It's the one that motivates us.” Snippets Why no practice should have a manager (5:11-9:03) Consensus and collaboration (9:12-13:30) Agency of Responsibility (13:53-17:04) Input equals ownership (17:44-23:51) Everyone should be a leader (23:57-28:36) What really makes us an adult (28:53-31:40) Distributed decision-making (35:00-39:14) Bio of Guest Chuck Blakeman is a serial entrepreneur, international speaker, best-selling business author and world-renowned business advisor who built ten businesses in seven industries on four continents, and now uses his experience to advise others.

He was born in Aurora Colorado, graduated from Ponderosa High School, did his undergraduate degree at UNC and then went off to Regis University. Rob currently lives in beautiful Wash Park and is hunting for the best coffee in Denver. So if you've got some great coffee, you can contact Rob. Rob's been in the real estate industry since 2009. During his career in real estate, Rob has led, taught, coached and mentored thousands of real estate professionals and their businesses. Rob started out as a partner in the KW Highlands Ranch office until he became the operating partner of Keller Williams real estate. While operating partner of that office, Rob grew the businesses of the agents in the office itself with the results of four times profit and profit share under three years. Then Rob launched the Keller Williams Northern Colorado office with two top agents and real estate agent team. Within four years, KW Northern Colorado, grew to the top five offices in northern Colorado. Currently, Rob Tait is the founder of Downing Street Brokers, a premier real estate team serving Denver's neighborhoods with the Keller Williams Executives Realty office. And in Rob's free time when he's not working, he enjoys everything Denver has to offer. Typically, you can find Rob at a summer festival (when we can do that), racing around wash park on his bike, or trying out the new hot spots. Rob is also a new facilitator with 3to5 Clubs in the Crankset Group helping other small business owners grow to exponential profit, and meaning in what they do.

Chuck, it’s a pleasure to have you on the podcast. Great to be with you. I must confess, I’m already a fan. I have already read the book more than once, so that was cool. The book, (http://www.amazon.com/Making-Money-Killing-Business-Build/dp/0984334327/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1449526442&sr=8-1&keywords=making+money+is+killing+your+business) , is in its second edition. Somewhere in that book, what crossed my mind is you started somewhere before this and then you had a pivot and changed how you thought about business. Let’s dig into that. Making Money Is Killing Your Business, How to Build a Business You’ll Love and Have a Life, Too – Second Edition The book itself is a compilation of all the stuff I’ve been through. I speak a dozens of times a year, keynotes. I’ve written books that are now college textbooks and required reading. I always tell people I do not see myself as a speaker or an author, I’m just a business guy who speaks, talks, and writes about what he did. That’s why these books have worked for me and worked for other peoples because they come from years of bleeding over and stuff and doing it badly and figuring it out and stumbling and bumbling and mucking my way to what works. These are all built on real life and not on what can I sit in an ivory tower and pick out and design for people. My first five or so businesses were the same thing over and over again in different industries. I’m a serial entrepreneur, I’m left-handed, right-brained, ADHD, dyslexic, all that stuff. I graduated at the bottom of my class in high school. They barely let me out, actually discussing the day of graduation whether they should let me go or not. That’s how bad it was. I got that classic background. I went through business after business. Once I figured it out, I’d get bored, and then there would be something else that I didn’t understand. I never went into a business I understood. That made no sense at all because why would you do that? I was doing this stuff, I had no idea what I was doing. Then once I figured it out, I went through the first full iteration of it began to be successful, then I’d get bored and I either kill the business or move on to another one. In that process, looking back after about the fifth business, I was looking at my sixth business and starting this again. I said, “I have to look back and review what’s happened in the last ten years or fifteen years in these first five businesses” What struck me is the BFO. The BFO is the Blinding Flash of the Obvious. We have this thing called the BFO and I was having a BFO with myself. I didn’t have a term for it...

Chuck Blakeman is a successful entrepreneur, best-selling business author and world-renowned business advisor who has built ten businesses in seven industries on four continents, and now uses his experience to advise others. His company, Crankset Group, provides outcome-based mentoring and peer advisory for business leaders worldwide. He has written two best-selling books titled Making Money is Killing Your Business and  Why Employees are Always a Bad idea which have both been #1 and top ten rated business books. Chuck writes thought provoking books and blog posts. His writing, ideas and philosophy rattle my brain in a good way. I have provided links below to his published work online with New York Times, Entrepreneur Magazine, Success Magazine and my favorites, which are his articles on Inc. Magazine. If you are an Entrepreneur or a Senior Leader you will find Chuck’s message inspiriting and refreshing and relieving. This is my second discussion with Chuck and I like him so much because he is a practitioner and not a theoretician. I think this is important for people owning, running and operating businesses. Major take – aways from this episode are: The Concept of Freedom Mapping and the importance of asking yourself “why” you are doing things. The Formula for Success is Time + Money = Significance. How to avoid being a hostage to your business. Is there such a thing as work – life balance? The tyranny of urgent versus important. The difference between “learning” and “education” for adults and why adults suck at education. The irony of this is that I was just listening to a Tony Robbins interview on Lewis Howes' Show (on Tony’s Jet) where he said “the happiest people are lifetime learners”! The importance of groups to support your growth. See Chuck’s 3to5 Club The importance of EQ – Emotional Intelligence. The role of HR in the future. What Chuck would tell his 30 year old self. What his most gifted book is. The importance of taking risks. I have linked up all the show notes on redzonetech.net/podcast where you can get access to Chuck’s presentation and research.

How many people do you know that have built 10 businesses in seven industries across four continents? In the very first episode of Inflection Point, we feature trailblazer and corporate titan, Chuck Blakeman. Chuck is a successful entrepreneur, Tedx speaker, and best-selling author who serves as a world-renowned business advisor through his company, Crankset Group. But, he is not just another run-of-the-mill organizational leader. He puts an interesting spin on how the workplace should look in the 21st century. As a visionary to Fortune 5000s and small businesses, his growing clientele spans the likes of Apple and Tyco Healthcare. His progressive mentorship and peer advisory services have also earned him a coveted spot as a featured contributor to Inc. Magazine. Key takeaways: Learn why businesses need a 2.0 re-boot or else get left behind...by their employees. Discover how the word “participation” is all the buzz in business – not as a trend, but as a mainstay for mass industry success. Soak up insight on why management is a fundamentally flawed concept. Adopt a “make meaning, not just money” mindset to transform your entire workforce...and everyday life. Channel the bigger “why” around life and work, and gain real traction through “risk taking” in business. Hint: it’s not the numbers that matter, it’s something else entirely. Tune in and turn the volume up for a dose of inspiration and life lessons.  That’s how we Live Lead and Play!
