How many of us would be happy knowing the high point of our career was that we were good at just getting through the day? Unfortunately, that's the reality leaders need to recognize as the focus of today's leadership becomes less and less about achieving long-term goals and more about just putting out fires and ‘getting things done'. While this certainly makes us look good from a day-to-day perspective, it also leaves us with little to point to as a true accomplishment and reflection of who we were and what we did as a leader. No doubt this is why biographies and stories of successful leaders continue to capture our curiosity and imagination. After all, their leadership example is what we all aspire to be like – in our own way, of course. But how we can be our own version of an exceptional leader when all we focus on are things that while urgent, are not important to achieving something lasting and meaningful? Something that changes things for the better, or at least opens the door for others to affect that kind of change In this edition of my Leadership Espresso Shot series, I describe that one thing exceptional leaders never forget has to be at the forefront of everything they say and do. It's something that each and every one of us can make a part of our leadership focus, provided that we're willing to make the effort of not letting the demands of our day-to-day dictate where we put that long-term focus. The lens through which we need to keep looking out through if we are to achieve something remarkable, something great. So I hope you'll take a short break from dealing with your day-to-day work tasks to listen to this episode, and gain inspiration for how you can be your own version of that exceptional leader your employees and team need you to be. https://open.spotify.com/episode/3LjMifKjHtCioCfGJYkF8Y?si=yq0jIge7QgWqjamSyGWU0g

This week on the Million Dollar Mastermind podcast, host Larry Weidel is joined by Sunny McGaw, Founder of Sunny McGaw Marketing, a marketing agency that provides you with the knowledge and tools you need to use organic, non-paid strategies to help you grow your business.

In this episode of the Unseen Leadership Podcast, Chandler Vannoy and Dan Iten are joined by William Vanerbloemen, CEO and Founder of the Vanderbloemen Search Group, to discuss the topic of leadership and his latest book, “Be the Unicorn: 12 Data-Driven Habits That Separate the Best Leaders from the Rest.” Vanderbloemen shares insights from his research on exceptional leaders and their common habits, aiming to provide people with a guide to becoming exceptional leaders themselves. The interview also delves into Vanderbloemen's diverse background and experiences, including his time as a pastor and starting his own firm. QUOTES FROM EPISODE 84 “God called us to be fishers of men, not keepers of an aquarium.” – Lyle E. Schaller “The leadership that I had to learn when I was a pastor might be more important now than ever because I had to learn how to get people to follow when they didn't have to.” – William Vanderbloemen “Until you learn your own weaknesses, you won't ever be able to help anybody else.” – William Vanderbloemen “If you're thinking of making a change, the best transitions I've seen are when you sense completion where you are and then a step towards something good that's coming. Don't just step away from your job with nothing in hand. If you've completed what you were called to do and you're headed towards something new, there's a higher likelihood that you're walking in step with the rhythm that you need to.” – William Vanderbloemen “Particularly in 18-35-year-olds, they get a job offer and then they counter. Obviously, if they're not paying you fairly, then you can have that conversation. But there are so many times I see people in that age range counteroffer and shoot themselves in the foot. Even if they land the job and get the counter, they're starting workday one with the label of that the guy knows everything. I think the longer, slower, more successful play is to prove yourself, and you'll never have to ask for a raise.” – William Vanderbloemen I think particularly if you're a new leader where you're serving some people that are older than you, go ask them to tell you about the best days of this company or the best days of this church. You can learn so much by learning the history of where you've been.” – William Vanderbloemen RECOMMENDED RESOURCES Be the Unicorn: 12 Data-Driven Habits that Separate the Best Leaders from the Rest by William Vanderbloemen Einstein: His Life and Universe by Walter Isaacson Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones by James Clear Wisdom from Lyle E.

Acts 11:15-18 New King James Version   15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, as upon us at the beginning. 16 Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said, ‘John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.' 17 If therefore God gave them the same gift as He gave us when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could withstand God?” 18 When they heard these things they became silent; and they glorified God, saying, “Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life.”

Key Lessons:1. The Power of Emotional Intelligence: Mick emphasises that emotional intelligence is a better determinant of success than IQ. It can be trained and improved through intentional acts, and its absence leads to being out of tune with others and a negative work environment.2. Inspiring Employees for Better Productivity: Focusing solely on financial performance and hitting budget targets is not enough. Mick suggests that leaders should consider the existing workforce and find ways to provide them with purpose, meaning, and recognition. By inspiring employees and making them feel valued, their productivity and discretionary effort will increase.3. Dealing With Poor Behavior: Behavioral patterns can be difficult to address, especially when they are largely unconscious. Mick offers insights on how to address and make individuals aware of their negative behavior, even in situations where there is a bad boss or poor communication within a team.4. From Poor Leadership to Great Leadership: Many employees experience a roller coaster of emotions when promoted to leadership roles. Mick explains that their only reference point is often the poor leadership they have witnessed in the past, resulting in mimicking those behaviors. He discusses the importance of finding and nurturing great leadership in business.5. The Role of Culture in Shaping Organizations: Mick emphasizes that leaders play a crucial role in creating the culture, workplace, and environment of an organization. He discusses the significance of setting a great culture, including identifying desired behaviors, role modelling, and fostering a speak-up culture. Learn More: Visit The Few With Boo website to find additional resources, related episodes, and more valuable content from Mick Spiers. https://www.fewpodcast.com Connect with Mick Spiers: Official Website:  https://www.mickspiers.com/Social Media Accounts: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mickspiers/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/theleadershipproj/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mickspiers.official/YouTube -https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPG9X7weoI4Xs3SreZab1rQPodcast -https://open.spotify.com/show/0eVgYXgyueyzoe0kt1Qxds?si=0d7482f2c6c9481f&nd=1Books - https://www.mickspiers.com/youre-a-leader-now-what Get in touch with Mick!

Turning 40 and Finding Connection Through 50 Fun Things™Teresa Thomas got divorced at 45 and had a midlife crisis as she neared 50. She felt burned out and had a bad attitude about her upcoming birthday. Despite that, she planned a birthday party for herself around things she thought would be fun. She developed worksheets for her friends and family to fill out. One of which was 50 things she wanted to do in the coming year and left room for people to say which ones they wanted to join her for. All of a sudden, she felt connected and supported and the anxiety and depression she had been feeling lifted and she had things to look forward to all year long.Guest BioAs an award-winning connector, presenter, networking expert and author, Teresa Thomas ignites intentional, connected and joy-filled living through her umbrella brand Win/Win Connects. Teresa developed the 50 Fun Things® tools and experiences as a way for groups and individuals to look at how they can add fun and fulfillment as integral pieces in their lives, leveraging joy on a personal and professional level. Teresa is the author of Win/Win Networking: Your Guidebook for Confident and Effective Connections and 50 Fun Things: Enjoy the Small Things (and more recently 50 Fun Things for a Writer's World). She has led, facilitated, and presented for hundreds of events and groups for over 20 years guiding thousands to connect and grow.Teresa was awarded the title of Women's Business Champion in 2019 by the SBA (Small Business Administration of Minnesota) for her commitment to helping others succeed through networking. She was named Dynamic Connector and recognized by AARP of Minnesota and Pollen as one of Minnesota's 2019 50 Over 50 Exceptional Leaders.Turning 40 and Finding Connection Through 50 Fun Things™Teresa Thomas was a model people pleaser, doing things for everyone else saying yes to things she didn't want to say yes to but didn't feel like she could say no to, putting other people first and finding ways to make other people happy and get along. She says that her fear of disappointing people was bigger than her fear of dying or public speaking. She now realizes that it's a bit of a self-absorbed point of view because we have no control over what other people think of us. Now she knows it's better to live as her best self and have the right people appreciate and show up for her versus trying to be something that she thinks they think they want her to be. As the mom to small kids, there is some element of putting others in front of yourself, but Teresa realized that something was out of whack. Like the day she showed up to her first neighborhood association meeting and was drafted to be treasurer, despite her protestations that she was no good with numbers. But she didn't want to disappoint these people (who she didn't even know!) so she took on the role - and she hated it and had to force herself to do it. Even friends and work colleagues would give her feedback on her people pleasing tendencies. At the same time as she was giving presentations on win-win networking, she was not allowing others to help her. One person was very pointed with Teresa and told her that the relationship didn't feel reciprocal and, if she valued authenticity and meaningful connections then receiving is part of relationship building as much as helping others is. That was a lesson that took her a long time to fully absorb. On the home front, Teresa thought things were going ok, but she was going to marriage counseling by herself, and doing the counseling homework by herself, and realizing that things at home weren't feeling particularly reciprocal. Teresa got divorced at 45 and then had a midlife crisis as she prepared to turn 50. She felt burned out and had a bad attitude about her upcoming birthday. She was reacting badly to people saying that, at 50,...

Sales teams are made up of different people, with difference characteristics, different attributes, different experiences and different strengths. We hear a-lot about sales leaders conducting SWOT analyses and then focusing their attention on identified weaknesses, and building strategies and plans to turn those weaknesses into strengths.

Introduction:  Agnieszka Wolinska-Skuza is CEO of MasConsulting. She is an experienced strategic consultant with a background in top management consulting in Corporations. Agnieszka from the Warsaw School of Economics & gained her PhD in Economics from the University of Westminster in London, Trinity College London. Agnieszka is the author of the book The ART of Changing Your Mindset. Agnieszka recently moved to Barcelona where she lives with her husband and two children.  Podcast episode Summary:  This podcast discusses the important topic of Quiet Quitting, a phenomenon that is not new but has gained increasing interest and concern post the Pandemic. Agnieszka shares how pervasive Quiet Quitting is and what Leaders need to become to address this pernicious concern and to focus decisively on people. Much has to do with Mindset, the mindset around leadership, growth supporting a robust culture and responsibility.  Points made throughout the Episode:  Agnieszka entered came into this field by observing organisations in the process of change using her background in business consulting. She observed a lot of issues with Productivity, Retention and Mental Health issues post-Pandemic including of course geo-political and social crisis & high inflation together having a profound impact on workforce strategy  Quiet Quitting is a complex topic that Agnieszka has been investigating for a long time. It is not a new phenomenon but before it did not get the attention it is receiving today.  Quiet quitting presents in different ways making it complex to observe and detect. It impacts many elements of the business including a powerful retention strategy.  Quiet Quitting can be defined as a phenomenon where you can observe that people are disengaged at work, where people are losing motivation, losing focus, uneven participation by withholding and detaching psychologically from the job. Employees can refuse more tasks & question why it is important to work hard.  Quiet Quitting can be simply described as a change in Engagement  The critical characteristics of high performing Leaders & their teams and how much mindset influences how they are managed. Mindset is critical for Leaders and in particular having a Growth Mindset.  A Growth Mindset predisposes leaders to create a healthy culture of accountability, that drives business growth. Leaders with a Growth Mindset see opportunities within their teams, they look for possibility, they don't hide believing all efforts have been wasted and they do not blame others.  Leaders who lead with a Growth Mindset make every effort to accelerate their teams growth even in times of crisis.  So leading with a Growth Mindset is critical if you chose to create a team that is pro-active, creative and solution focused.  Exceptional Leaders know & appreciate they have to consciously grow their skills and the skills of their teams. Strong passion, energy and a vision for growth inspires others to be part of business growth and success.  To adopt a Growth Mindset you have to interrogate your beliefs, thoughts and feelings and in order to assume a growth mindset you have to believe in the possibility for growth, to look opportunistically and to be focused energetically. You won't be minded to blame the situation but be oriented to search for solutions.  You can always find a way forward if you look for possibility and solutions. If you have a fixed mindset the likelihood is that you will give up and retreat, you will always blame the situation and people and you will likely lose people.  Given how tired and exhausted Leaders and people are after the pandemic the question becomes one of asking how to try to do more with a more positive energy.  People are valuing their time differently and so if they observe that their leaders are not behaving positively they will put distance between them and what they esteem to be toxic leadership.  Focus and being deliberate or intentional about what work means today, giving people a new sense of belonging are ways to help retain people.  After the Pandemic people have come to value their time differently. They are focused on how they spend their time and the quality of that investment.  So quiet quitting is really about changing in engagement -Engagement is a kind of choice. You can chose to engage or to withdraw.  A culture that engages people could look like improvements in the ways flexibility is offered to work, a re-focus on purpose and an acknowledgement that empathy is required.  Leaders also need to look at time, their relationship to time, engagement and their choice of Leadership  Leaders are feeling the pressure of change, of market forces of their work loads and their own mental health. Important for Leaders to mind their mental health to be able to share their energy & empathy with others.  There is an onus on Leaders to monitor their state of mind. If you lose your energy and it impacts your capacity to be empathetic people will feel this and be equally impacted.  State of mind is everything and it is an everyday occupation. If you want to have a strong mindset you need to feed your mind every day. How does Quiet Quitting show up? No one will tell you as a Leader that quiet quitting has become a phenomenon in your organisation but you can begin to observe behaviours and be curious. Isolation, participating less, valuing time differently are the hidden signs that something in the culture is amiss. This amounts to disengagement at work. Others signs include becoming less available for mandatory meetings or less volunteering for social events or even not answering emails promptly or as before.  Gallup has for years now being reporting on engagement at work. Statistics consistently slight poor levels of engagement at work at around 33%. Quiet Quitting is not knew and so how can Leaders be more bothered about their approaches?  It is important to remember the power dynamic at work and Leaders have a disproportionate amount of power available to them and this power can be used to energise the work force.  Wellbeing, retention strategies, upskilling etc are all tools which if employed can make the job of workers more fulfilling. How do Leaders help their teams see this perspective together. They have to re-think how to engage teams in this work as well.  There needs to a recognition that people are valuing their time differently and they have talent that can be deployed. This requires new thinking, new methods of approach and more proactivity on the part of Leaders and teams.  It could be advantageous to start asking and questioning the employee base for their new thinking, to hear their obstacles and concerns and to find solutions together.  It is one thing to conduct exit interviews and hear the missing factors that precipitated a leave and another to engage earlier to understand how an organisations atmosphere could be improved.  Being explicit about the business, business performance, the standard you are respecting, the values you are honouring and the ethics by which you are operating are all features that could make a difference to employees to hear.  If Leaders chose to take a critical look at their culture and to institute change they need to go back to the fundamentals and examine their values. Open and transparent dialogue is required along with perhaps a modicum of vulnerability by the leader- asking for help for example.  As a Leader if you sense there are issues with your culture with Quiet Quitting don't hide.  Changing Culture requires that the effort be shared,  where joint responsibility for the success is owned collectively. This can happen if the right atmosphere is created and there are no negative consequences for speaking up or sharing ideas.  Quiet Quitting and a lack of psychological safety are probably pretty close cousins which suggests that there is a large gap to address to course correct. It doesn't mean it is impossible to recover especially if the right attitude is employed and Leaders can admit that they missed information.  The Pandemic has more than likely contributed to Quiet Quitting and the opportunity to catch creeping disillusionment when people were working from home and on screens.  To start adopt a Growth Mindset. Find out what are the limiting beliefs and obstacles on teams. Lack of trust for example is a limiting belief, or the idea that if people work remotely they will not be productive. Leaders might resist, by micro managing etc. this instead of looking for alternative solutions.  Accepting the phenomenon of hybrid working, accepting that people have a changed relationship to time could result in some constructive new norms that everyone can agree.  Leaders often underestimate their success in creating conditions of belonging for example believing they are doing a better job than others judge them to be doing.  Deloitte research has found considerable discrepancies or disconnect between how a Leader perceives their effort and how an employee experiences it. Only 56% of employees believe a company's executives  cares about their wellbeing whereas the same executives score themselves 91%  Leaders have to be aware of theses gaps in perception as cited by Deloitte and start with manageable strategies to narrow these gaps.  Agnieszka suggests starting by setting clear expectations for teams, asking questions about working hours, and reasonableness in terms of those same expectations. There is often a large gap between expectations and realism.  Role clarity, growth opportunities and expectations are subjects or topics that are often not clear & require conversation. Are we clear about the many limiting beliefs and obstacles that sit on teams? Does the team feel connected to the Organisations Purpose?  Start with a diagnostic and get a base line understanding of where people are, knowing it might be hard to digest but recognising that this is a process and a start.  Agnieszka's book covers 12 areas in business and in life that are important. Her book is about transformational change in each of this areas. To help she teaches her readers at the start of her book how to adopt a Growth Mindset. Change for the subsequent chapters is made easier by using this particular lens.  Agnieszka also talks about our Comfort Zone and notices how important this is for Quiet Quitting too. She encourages us to move outside of our comfort zone to deal with Quiet Quitting. It might appear as hard work at first but it can also be very rewarding.  If Leaders are willing to put themselves outside of their comfort zone they should not resist Quiet Quitting but instead take actions to minimise it, investigate and ask probing questions to do with the company's purpose, structure, conditions etc.  Leaders need to create the space for employees to be part of the solution. If they hold on to solving the surfaced issues by themselves they are in fact engaging in a fixed mindset and likely disenchant further.  People are happy to share their thoughts, ideas etc if they see it can yield value.  Agnieszka's final request to listeners and Leaders is to focus on people    Resources shared across this conversation www.awolinskaskuza.com The ART of Changing Your Mindset by Agnieszka Wolinska-Skuza Deloitte Insight www.deoitte.com/insights

As a Sales Leader, there are many times when targets and kpi's are distributed, policies are implemented, and objectives changed - all of which can leave you scratching your head & potentially feeling disempowered. The company, and the senior leaders have simply made the decision and often made promises to the market. Whether we like it or not, it is part of the game. How we deal with it though, is up to us. Exceptional leaders understand that leading is not just about leading their team, it is also about leading upwards. And this is what I explore in today's episode.

In working with Sales Leaders, one of the key attributes that separates the exceptional leaders from their peers, is their approach to feedback. Exceptional leaders are feedback machines, period. They seek opportunities to source feedback and find opportunities to provide feedback, and are willing to do so, irrespective of how they feel. Are you a feedback machine?

Coaching is an often forgotten or unrated skill, which is actually a core need if you want to be an exceptional leader. I am not saying you are becoming a coach instead of a leader, but you are integrating the core skills of a great coach into your tool kit, allowing you to have more open and beneficial conversations with your people, allowing you to become their cheerleader without even thinking about, and ultimately leading you to a place of exceptional leadership and highly engaged people in your teams. This is good for them and good for you, so a great win- win in any type of business. Becoming a leader that has a clear focus on developing a their core coaching skills, is key to engaging the new value based workforce, they want to give and receive value, and if you have coaching skills it makes it much easier for you to uncover and develop this core need, so why not capitalise on that and allow your people engagement and business results to soar! A focus on being an exceptional leader via coaching, will allow your people to really engage with your business and provide unexpected yet beneficial ideas and results, which are critical for your future business success. Plus it's a core part of your people engagement tool kit. Something you can actually utilize in many cases at very lost cost with a high level of positive rewards. To develop your leadership mindset and lead teams, there are several areas you need to focus on developing, Covey sums it up well, and suggests 6 critical factors, I have added 2 more to meet the needs of the modern workforce.gives some great insight into this development Critical Practices For Developing your Leadership Mindset and Leading A Team: 1.Understand what you need to do to Develop a Leader's Mindset, and progressively work towards it. You are shifting from an individual contributor to someone who gets things done through engaging others. 2.Hold Regular 1-on-1s. 3.Set up Your Team to Get Results. 4.Create a Culture of Feedback. 5.Lead Your Team Through Change. 6.Manage Your Time and Energy. 7.Focus on your own development- Training is important 8.Develop a leadership network internally and externally A big part of displaying your leadership mindset is being capable of developing a workplace around you that displays emotional safety. Lots of leaders think they can do this easily, but in reality it is simply not that easy, they tend to miss many keys steps to acceptance. And jump straight to saying they have an open door policy and everyone should use it. In reality this does not work, and you often need to unwind years of habit and beliefs.

There are four dimensions to human life - the mind, the body, the external world and the inner realm. Within these four pillars of life, we either rise to our full potential or remain ordinary. In this episode of Confessions of a Reformed Control Freak, I will apply that same concept to leadership. Do you want to rise to your full potential as a leader or remain ordinary? You decide. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/reformedcontrolfreak/message

For lovers of AFL Football, we have just witnessed an epic Grand Final, and for long suffering Melbourne supporters, 57 painful years without the ultimate success has come to an end. The Melbourne Football Club and its supporters have gone through harrowing times, spending many years as the laughing stock of the competition and on a few occasions promising much, but not being able to deliver. Until 2021. On the biggest stage, Melbourne's exceptional leaders stood up when they needed to, and in the process, they created history.

For most of us, the best leader we ever worked for not only led our team to succeed, but also helped us fulfill our career aspirations. So what is that ‘secret sauce' that allowed these leaders to not only achieve their organization's goals, but attract and grow employees under their care? That's a question I'll be putting to my guest, Professor Sydney Finkelstein, in this episode of the Leadership Biz Cafe podcast. Sydney is the Steven Roth Professor of Management at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College. He is also a Fellow of the Academy of Management and is on the global Thinkers 50 list of top management gurus. Sydney has published 25 books and 90 articles, including the bestsellers “Why Smart Executives Fail” and his latest, “Superbosses: How Exceptional Leaders Master the Flow of Talent”, which Sydney and I discuss in this episode. Over the course of our conversation, Sydney shares: What traits leaders who are able to attract and build talent within employees share in common. Why superbosses love hiring people more talented and smarter than them, and what prevents other leaders from doing the same. The two things superbosses do to empower their employees to be “super engaged” in the work they do. How superbosses approach delegation differently from other leaders, where they're a combination of both effective delegator and micromanager, and how this balance actually leads people to deliver their best efforts.

Every leader leaves a wake behind them. Whether the wake is positive or negative depends on their integrity. Today's episode is for Christian leaders who hope to live and finish strong. What are the secrets that are creating an integrity gap in your life, today? To learn about the common pitfalls and anecdotes that will help you flourish, stay tuned! If you're a leader, or if you work alongside a leader, or you aspire to be a leader, get ready. We're going to talk about one of the biggest trouble spots leaders face. Something we've never talked about here on the podcast. Here's the trouble spot:  Leaders who preach one set of values yet live by another are not just harming themselves. A leader's lack of integrity may generate immense internal guilt and shame, but it also limits the effectiveness of any organization he or she leads.   Jeff and Terra Mattson are the married co-founders of Living Wholehearted and the Courageous Girls Movement. They coach leaders in a variety of settings, from corporate offices to leadership retreats and individual counseling. Their professional experience and research have formed their unique perspective on the relationship between leadership and integrity.   Their new book is called Shrinking the Integrity Gap: Between What Leaders Preach and Live. Jeff & Terra know this issue inside and out—and they've got some insightful, practical answers you can use.
