David Novak: How Leaders Learn David Novak is Co-Founder and the retired Chairman and CEO of Yum! Brands, the world's largest restaurant company. During his tenure as CEO, Yum! Brands became a global powerhouse, growing from $4 billion in market cap to over $32 billion. After retiring in 2016, he became Founder and CEO of David Novak Leadership, dedicated to developing leaders at every stage of life. He is the author of How Leaders Learn: Master the Habits of the World's Most Successful People. One element of powerful leadership is bringing different people and ideas together to create something entirely new. In this conversation, David and I discuss how leaders can use pattern thinking to create new value. Plus, we explore why active learning is so critical for successful leadership. Key Points Pattern thinking is 1+1 = 3. Create something bigger than its parts by pairing things not related to make something new. Be curious about the world by being an active learner. Use books, travel, listening, and hobbies to come across insights you wouldn't normally see. Active learners seek out patterns proactively in order to create something new. Questions to ask yourself: The last time you came up with an especially creative idea or solution, what was your inspiration? What pattern were you applying and where had you discovered it? How much time do you spend exploring outside your usual work and life experiences? Where are you getting exposure to different disciplines or industries? Think of a challenge you're facing or a problem you've been struggling to solve? Have you looked for patterns or ideas from unusual sources yet? If not, where could you turn next?

And when you learn to live in this new way, you'll start to enjoy your work and life again.

A particular message is receiving a lot of play these days. The message is clear: if you want to make it in life, you need to put yourself front and center, make your way to the top, become the boss, or do whatever it takes to achieve the success set before you. But suppose there is a different approach. What if there is more to life than just the pursuit of notoriety, wealth, and influence?

As COO of two firms, StoryBrand and Business Made Simple; he spent nearly a decade of his career alongside New York Times bestselling author Donald Miller. During our discussion today, Tim discusses how to create your own personal definition of success and how to contribute to your team without worrying about who gets the credit. In addition to this, he emphasizes the ways in which one can have an effect that is felt far beyond themselves, notwithstanding the size of their platform. Moreover, we talk about how to handle living in the conflict that exists between being content and continuing to strive for more. Also, he stresses the importance of shifting from a state of feeling nervous, overwhelmed, and restless in your job to a state in which you are confident in the value you offer to the team and have found meaning and fulfillment in your work. [00:03] Motivation- Tim opens up about the concerns driving him in his life right now.[03:54] The Spotlight – Tim explains why he thinks being in the spotlight is not the place we want to be and how it will be the thing that prevents us from reaching our goals. [12:19] Restless Pursuit – We talk about the battle that each of us must go through to find contentment in our lives and whether or not that struggle drives each of us to an insatiable quest for more.[20:50] The Reason – What is the purpose of the action that you are taking right now?

It is said that he people who have the most legendary careers are what you might think of as other-directed. The key to a successful life is to remove your joy blockers, and the goal of a career should be to, as Warren Buffett says, dance your way to work. We talk about all these and more on Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different with our guest David Novak. David Novak is the co-founder and was the CEO for 17 years of the legendary Yum! brands. Yum! is the world's largest restaurant company, which owns Kentucky Fried Chicken, Taco Bell, and many others. David also has an amazing podcast called How Leaders Lead, and a new book called Take Charge of You: how self-coaching can transform your life and your career. Learn how be a legendary leader, executive, and entrepreneur from the best by listening in to this episode. David Novak on Looking Back on his Career The conversation begins with David's new book, and how it is a window to his career and life, and the interesting events and tidbits that go along with it. “I was the first kid in my family to get a college education, got a degree in journalism, didn't get an MBA, ended up becoming a CEO, and have the time of my life building a fantastic company. Now I'm in my next phase of my life where I'm fortunate enough to be able to spend time on the things that truly give me joy.” – David Novak Nowadays, David focuses on Leadership Development, and shares his thoughts and insights in his podcast, How Leaders Lead by David Novak. He also has time to write books, which has been a big passion of his. David Novak on Reaching One's Goals and What Comes After The topic shifts on how most of the books and guides in entrepreneurship that is published are focused on personal growth and development, but there are only a few on what happens when you achieve those goals. Because life doesn't stop when you reach those goals – there has to be something else to direct your passion into. David agrees and adds to it that after proving yourself and learning to manage and eventually lead people, the goal post shifts ever so slightly, and you find other ways to draw success. “Well, I have to tell you, that a lot of the research out there says that, you know, the people that are the happiest are other directed. What I've found is that the more other directed I got, the more I focused on other people's success more than my own, the more success I ultimately got. And, you know, it's kind of an amazing thing.” – David Novak On the Current State and Rising Up Again The conversation then goes to the current state of things, where inflation and the looming threat of recession is on the rise. David comments that there is current a huge divide, particularly in the haves and have nots, especially in the environment that they are in. That is not to say that there aren't any people who thrive in harsher environments, but David wishes that people would at least have the chance to nurture themselves and grow. “I hope one day, my goal is somehow from all the leadership development I do that there'll be one person that will rise up in this country and inspire people again.” – David Novak To hear more from David Novak and how you can take charge of you, download and listen to this episode.

DescriptionYou're scrolling through social media and you're inundated with one repeated theme: success. Or at least what we're told is success.  Spotlight, followers, likes, revenue, influence...I could go on. Our society is permeated with a very one-dimensional idea of success. Tim Schurrer decided to challenge that narrative and wrote a book on redefining success. He presents a much more fulfilling alternative to Hollywood's idea and he highlights the individualistic nature of success. What you consider success may not be the same for me or anyone else. I promise you'll walk away feeling encouraged and liberated to pursue your own ideas of success. He also shares some great stories, including his early dreams of becoming the next John Mayer and what he learned from a conversation with sports legend Jim Nantz.
