Another milestone as we reach episode 20 of ‘The Word is Leadership'. Our random word this week from which Emmanuel Gobillot derives leadership lessons is "eagle." Emmanuel delves into the symbolism of the eagle in various cultures and summarises the appeal of eagle as a symbol of leadership with the words power (strength and reassurance), vision (seeing the bigger picture and planning for the future), and grace (creating a climate of effectiveness in the organisation). However, Emmanuel challenges the notion that they, alone, are sufficient for leadership success by introducing the perspective of the pigeon. He suggests that the eagle's attributes are essential, leaders must also embody the pack mentality, street-fighting spirit, and agility of pigeons. He encourages leaders to reflect on the balance between soaring like an eagle and sweating like a pigeon, leaving the audience with the question, ‘Have you thought about your pigeon as you soar like an eagle?'.
In this episode, we welcome another longtime friend of MACPA, leadership expert and author of the new book, "This is NOT a Leadership Book: 20 Rules for Success", Emmanuel Gobillot. Emmanuel has been my go to source for all things leadership for many years. I speak to him about leadership as it relates to recruitment and retention, which is top of mind for everyone these days. Where do we find new CPAs? How can we get students interested in accounting again? It's important for leaders to express why our profession is important and why our work matters - that "why" is what is going to get young people excited about a future career in accounting. The focus of many employees entering the workforce is their role in society, their purpose, and finding institutions that match their outlook. Those in leadership need to personify that "why" and start changing the narrative about this profession. Begin by understanding your organization's higher purpose; it should be aspirational and authentic.Emmanuel spends a lot of time in his latest book speaking to authenticity, why it actually might be overrated UNLESS it's inline with your intent, your purpose, and the needs of your team. Listen in as we dive deep into his 20 rules to success and more.

In this 8th episode of ‘The Word is Leadership', our host, Emmanuel Gobillot has to work with the random word ‘which' to build a leadership lesson. He begins with Rudyard Kipling's ‘six honest serving men' - what, why, when, where, who, and how in order to emphasize their importance in studying and reporting on situations, but also to show that for leaders, an additional W is crucial to making choices – that W is ‘which'. If leading is all about choosing, specifically choosing what is right over what is popular or expedient then “which” forces leaders to contend with the emotional involvement and commitment required to make the right choice. Whilst analysing a situation with Kiplings 5 Ws, provides objectivity and distance, the sixth W of which brings to the fore the need to understand the price to be paid for a chosen option and helps leaders assess their willingness to pay it.
Welcome to Episode 4 of ‘The Word is Leadership' where, once again, Emmanuel Gobillot picks a random word to improvise a leadership lesson. With a new jingle in place, the random word this week is tug. A word which finally presents an opportunity to define what leadership is. Using tug of war and tug boats to illustrate McGregor's Theory X and Y of management and motivation, Emmanuel challenges our assumption, by highlighting the power of employees. With his central argument that leadership is about creating the conditions for others to positively engage with a goal, he encourages leaders to shift from a focus on forceful tugging to the creation of a gravitational tug that motivates employees to exert their power willingly and positively. Once again, ‘The Word is Leadership' continues its exploration of leadership dynamics, this time using the word tug as a springboard to examine the essence of human motivation.
In episode 3 of ‘The Word is Leadership' Emmanuel Gobillot continues to build leadership lessons inspired by random words. The chosen word this week is squeak (and there's even a jingle to introduce it). This episode takes a personal turn as Emmanuel recalls a joke from his uncle Roger which becomes a metaphor to discuss the dangers of becoming over sensitized or desensitized to organisational squeaks. Having identified the three leadership challenges of squeaks (Inability to Distinguish between significant and inconsequential squeaks, neglect of the silences that accompany the positive aspects of the organization, and deafness to squeaks that leads them to become shrieks) Emmanuel provides three levers to leadership effectiveness. Using the word squeak as a launch pad to offer valuable insights, this week's episode of ‘The Word is Leadership' explores the delicate balance of addressing concerns while maintaining a focus on organizational successes.
Welcome back to another episode of "The Word is Leadership." In this second instalment, global leadership speaker, author and consultant, Emmanuel Gobillot continues the unique approach of selecting a random word and deriving leadership lessons from it. This time, the chosen word is gentry. Drawing parallels between the social structure of royalty, court, and gentry and the organizational structure of executives, senior management, and middle managers, the episode highlights the critical role of the ‘gentry' or middle managers in ensuring the success and well-functioning of an organization. Emmanuel encourages senior leaders to create an environment that makes it easy for the gentry to speak the truth, positioning middle managers as indispensable connectors between different levels within the organization. With episode 2, ‘The Word is Leadership' continues to deliver insightful leadership lessons, using the random word gentry as a lens to explore the intricacies of organizational dynamics and the vital role of middle management.
Welcome to the first episode of ‘The Word is Leadership' podcast, where each week, our host, global leadership speaker, author and consultant, Emmanuel Gobillot, embarks on a unique journey by selecting a random word to extract valuable leadership lessons from it. In this inaugural episode, our word is surprisingly simple yet profound – SOCK. We reflect on the unnoticed habits in our organizations, akin to the automatic act of putting on socks each day. Drawing parallels between organizational routines and the habitual nature of wearing socks, Emmanuel highlights the potential for embarrassment when we overlook ingrained practices. This episode delves into the importance of periodically questioning the necessity and efficiency of entrenched systems to identify and rectify suboptimal processes. In this entertaining and insightful journey through the seemingly mundane, ‘The Word is Leadership' sets the stage for future episodes that promise to uncover leadership lessons from unexpected corners of the dictionary.

Where are we going to find tomorrow’s leaders? We’ve been doing these podcasts for almost a year now, and as much talking as we’ve done about the future, the missing ingredient in all of those conversations has been leadership. We just haven’t spent much time talking about future leadership, and with 10,000 baby boomers retiring every day, that’s a critical part of becoming future-ready. So this week, we are talking to Emmanuel Gobillot and Katherine Harris, co-authors of Unleash Your Leader: How to Win in Business. It's a blueprint of sorts for how you can turn yourself into a great leader, teaching us what we should be doing today to improve our odds of becoming the leaders of tomorrow.

If you are new to CultureLab, this is a great place to start!
If we had to narrow it down to just one factor that differentiates a victim of culture from a leader, it would have to be their identity. While they often feel the same frustrations, notice the same problems and experience similar challenges, the leader sees herself as an agent of change. This self perception urges her to take action that challenges the status-quo. And it turns out that this act of courage creates ripples and waves that make a world of difference to others. In this episode Emmanuel Gobillot talks about how an individual within an organisation can significantly contribute to improving their company culture, what’s important to keep in mind when we are trying to create a culture of collaboration and how to overcome fears that stand in the way to creating an environment where 1+1 equals much more more than 2. About the guest Emmanuel Gobillot is the founder of Emmanuel Gobillot Limited, and a co-founder of ‘Collaboration Partners’.
