If we can't or won't engage conflict, we can't lead effectively. It's as simple as that. Fortunately, managing ourselves in conflict can be learned, unlearned and re-learned as we use conflict as a powerful opportunity for growth and change. We wrapped up part 1 with a question from Trisha, how do we manage ourselves and stay open hearted even when the other person isn't? That's where we'll pick up in this episode. And we'll also explore the fascinating world of internal family systems and helping the organizations that we're leading develop more capacity for managing conflict. About Our Guests: Heidi De Jonge lives in Ontario, Canada and has been an ordained minister in the Christian Reformed Church for 17 years–serving as pastor for congregations, a seminary, a university and health care. She also works in the area of conflict transformation as a restorative practitioner with FaithCARE and a trainer with The Colossian Forum. Heidi received her doctorate in ministry from Western Theological Seminary in 2018, studying and writing about conflict as an opportunity for discipleship and transformation. She and her husband, Tim, have three daughters (Naomi, Samara and Zoe, 12 to 16) and a beloved husky-lab named Nevada. Brian Keepers has been an ordained pastor in the Reformed Church in America for 22 years. He has served three different congregations in the midwest, and he is currently serving as the lead pastor of Trinity Reformed Church in Orange City, IA. He is married to Tammy (24 years this August) and they have two daughters–Emma who is 20 and Abby who is 15 years old. They also have a granddaughter named Luna who is 2 1/2 years old. Brian loves art, reading, being outdoors, spending time with people, and getting to be “Poppy” to his granddaughter. He also loves to learn, especially at the intersection of theology, psychology and leadership.

In the spiritual Revolution that is underway, fierce conversations are critical. In this episode, I explain that "fierce" doesn't mean angry. But, what does it mean? Why are fierce conversations so important? Are fierce conversations biblical? And, how can we be both gently curious (episode #66) and fierce? I'm drawing especially on Susan Scott's excellent book, Fierce Conversations: Achieving Success at Work and in Life One Conversation at a Time In this episode, I also reference a news article about Celebration Church, one of the biggest churches in Jacksonville, FL. It's an example of a church where I'm pretty sure fierce conversations were not part of the church culture.

Do you know the questions you should ask to ensure a happy, fulfilling, and lasting relationship? More importantly, do you know who you ask them to? (Hint: sometimes, the correct answer is yourself). Conversations are the backbone of a relationship, but that doesn't mean we know how to have them. Whenever one stops working, it's a safe bet that it's because of a breakdown of communication, be it not ensuring each other knows what's expected of them, or simply allowing a disconnect to take hold. Friend of the show and New York Times bestselling author, Susan Scott, founded Fierce in 2001, after 13 years of leading CEO think tanks and over 10,000 hours conversing with senior executives led her to realize that, while no single conversation is guaranteed to change the trajectory of a career, business, or life, any conversation can. This led to her sharing her valuable knowledge in the form of the Fierce book series, starting with the award-winning Fierce Conversations: Achieving Success at Work and in Life, One Conversation at a Time. Now, she's turning her insights toward the world of romance with the upcoming Fierce Love: Creating a Love That Lasts, One Conversation at a Time, so she joins us to lay everything out there: where do we go wrong in our love lives and what can we do to align them with our ONE Thing?THE ONE THING TO IMPLEMENT FROM THIS EPISODESusan Scott's philosophy is to take things one conversation at a time, but to really maximize what we get out of each one. Those conversations require us to think and define the parameters of what we want to get out of them – and, sometimes, that'll mean that we have the conversation with ourselves.

In this week's podcast we talk about the importance of effective communication and what Susan Scott in her excellent book Fierce Conversations: Achieving Success at Work & in Life, One Conversation at a Time, calls, “fierce conversations”. Overall, most of us could be much better communicators. Too frequently we attempt to express ourselves and find that what we had hoped to convey has been received in a manner that we had not intended or expected. With our incresased use of emails, texts, tweets and the like, I see this getting worse, not better over time.Scott asserts that the next frontier of exponential growth, the place you will find a new and sustainable competitive edge, lies in the area of human connectivity – internally with staff and externally with your marketplace. This assertion is supported by leading edge research groups such as McKinsey & Company where words like heighted connectivity, more purposeful, more human, and emphasis on employees' need for affirmation, social chohesion, purpose and meaning are being increasingly used - all postive impacts of deep dialogue and effective communication. We have an opportunity to do things differently as we begin to emerge from the realities of the pandemic. According to Scott, “Conversation = Relationship”. Make your conversations truly great ones! Tips and insights in today's podcast. Hope you will join me! About the Host: Susan has worked with people all her life. As a human resource professional, she has specialized in all aspects of employment, from hiring to retirement. She got her start as a national representative for a large Canadian union. After pursuing an undergrad degree in business administration, Susan transitioned to HR management, where she aspired to bring both employee and management perspectives to her work.

Susan and her company are committed to large scale and individual transformation through the principles set forth in Susan's books and her company's customized corporate training programs. For 13 years, Susan ran think tanks for CEOs and designed and delivered training to peers working with CEOs in 18 countries. In 2002, Fierce Conversations Achieving Success at Work and in Life, One Conversation at a Time, was published in 4 countries and, shortly thereafter, was listed on The Wall Street Journal and UPI best seller lists, and was one of USA TODAY'S top 40 business books of 2002. Her much anticipated second book Fierce Leadership: A Bold Alternative to the Worst Best Practices of Business Today was published September 15, 2009. In its debut week, the book was listed on The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times best seller lists.

She's helped business owners and their teams communicate verbally for two decades. For 13 years, Susan ran Think Tanks with CEO's and through her work realized that every loss and every gain comes down to one conversation. Often leaders are focused on being right rather than getting it right, leading them to fall short of brilliance. Our lives succeed or fail gradually, then suddenly – one conversation at a time. Ultimately Susan would like to have fewer conversations that accomplish more. In this episode of the Intentional Greatness podcast, Susan joins us and shares how to have successful conversations that may possibly change the trajectory of your life. Speaking With Love Susan's brand is built on the word fierce. She believes that you cannot fake fierce conversations. If you ask someone to elaborate or explain you should mean it. Susan explains how critical it is for leaders to listen to the thoughts and suggestions of their team members. You will find that the answers are always in the room. Asking for honest feedback can invite unwanted or hostile confrontation. During these uncomfortable moments, Susan suggests that you take a moment to ask, “what would love do in this situation?” Speaking with love will provide space to get to the root of the conversation. Don't Make Assumptions Susan finds that most humans make up stories about people, and then behave as if the stories are true. We should never make assumptions. Susan suggests that people focus on getting the facts in conversations, this will lead to less blame. She says that the key to a good leader is the person who can describe a scenario without any blame. Blame masks the valuable message that people need to hear.

LEADERSHIP INSIGHTS Ask yourself (and help others ask), “Given the current reality, what can I do to get a different result?” How you look at things matters: Life is either a bowl of cherries or the pits! Accountability can’t be trained. But having conversations with those who have a victim mindset can break people out of that mindset into an accountable mindset. Get curious in order to make the best decisions. QUESTIONS TO INSPIRE US TO ACTION What is some lesson, saying, or experience that continues to influence your leadership to this day? Our careers, our companies, our relationships, and our lives either succeed or fail—gradually, then suddenly—one conversation at a time. Use three descriptors to finish this sentence: “A leader is…” One who leads by example, one who asks questions (including of those who have a different perspective), and one who demonstrates vulnerability, accountability, and humility. What is a question that leaders should be asking either themselves or others? Is there more to the story here/what am I missing? What book would you recommend to leaders? Fierce Conversations: Achieving Success at Work & in Life, One Conversation at a Time by Susan Scott. If you could get every listener to start doing something THIS week to help them be a better leader, what would it be? Get curious and ask questions—starting with yourself then in your conversations. As a general life principle, is it better to ask “why?” or “why not?” “Why?” because it gives the information needed for life. But “why not?” helps to push boundaries and encourage action.

Ep112: When Ranting Actually Matters

So, Here's My Story...

How do you tell when something is just a quick rant, and when something actually matters? Well, we’ve got a story about that. Or a series of rants, as the case may be.  Why is that important for business?  Rants are specific to the people you tell them. What bothers you doesn’t necessarily bother other people. But these are the things that are the poppy seeds between the teeth in an organization that end up causing tension. If everyone agrees that about the poor etiquette, then you can course correct from there. But what if there is disagreement on whether it’s okay to even be upset about it? Often, people see a dismissal of what bothers them through a lens not of this concern doesn’t matter, but I don’t matter.  The answer, as usual lies in conversations, and about not shying away from having conversations about things, even if they feel silly. “While no single conversation is guaranteed to transform a company, a relationship, or a life, any single conversation can.” (Susan Scott, Fierce Conversations: Achieving Success at Work and in Life One Conversation at a Time. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/289515/fierce-conversations-revised-and-updated-by-susan-scott/9780425193372/) A great way to start these conversations is as Brene Brown suggests: “the story I’m making up is…” https://www.businessinsider.com/brene-browns-biggest-life-hack-is-a-simple-phrase-2015-8 Tell people what your assumptions are right up front. At least start there. Otherwise you might end up the subject of someone else’s rant.  What story do you want to tell? So, that's our story... now, we want to hear yours!

The New Leader with Ian Daley
What Makes a Great Leader with guest Joanne Shields 002

The New Leader with Ian Daley

Welcome to The New Leader Podcast. I'm your host, Ian Daley and today I'm really excited to have Joanne Shields with us. Joanna is the co-founder of StarFish Learning Inc, as well as a talented facilitator, designer and consultant. She specializes in enabling organizations and individuals to excel through the application of powerful learning experiences. Joanna has worked with many leaders over the years as a consultant, and brings with her insights that I know you will find a lot of benefit from today. In this episode, we are going to look at: what separates the best leaders from the rest, how to stay on top of it all without drowning in a sea of distractions (e.g., email, social media), planning and discipline, setting boundaries, and productivity and enjoyment. I hope you enjoy this one.   Joanne's Experience as a New Leader I had four direct reports – two of them were younger than me, and I felt like I could connect with them. I felt like they were at a similar age and stage to me. The two older women, I was terrified of. I thought there was no possible way they were ever going to learn or listen or be led by me. I would say my real strength, and what I focused on as a new leader, was understanding that I would make mistakes, and being transparent about that. I worked collaboratively with all of my staff to co-create and understand how I can best support and coach them. Although I will say I was probably not a very good coach back then; I probably did a lot more telling than asking. But I do think my intention really was to connect with them at the head level and at the heart level. I believe that if you ask them, even today, that's what they would say, that I had a real desire and intention to help support them and to help them grow and develop their potential. Biggest Failure as a Leader My biggest failure probably is not being willing to have tough conversations early on. I think that's very tough for leaders, especially new leaders. We always want to bring the positive side, the supportive side, the collaborative side to our discussions. But I really believe that what we don't talk about and what we sort of gloss over can get in the way – not only of performance, but also the relationships that we build with our people. If I had to give a piece of advice to a new leader, I would say find a way to approach those tougher conversations. There's lots of good reference material out there – Fierce Conversations, Crucial Conversations. And do that in the spirit of development and support. As we always say, you need to be firm with the problem and the actions that are going to be taken clearly state your expectations. But also be sensitive to the people side of the issue. I think that if I had learned that earlier on, it probably would have saved me a lot of grief. What Makes a Great Leader From what I've seen, from the leaders that I've worked with, there are a couple of things that stand out. The first one for me is the whole analogy of being the kingmaker, not the king. How do we really equip our people to reach their potential? Challenge them, but don't stretch them beyond reason. How do we give them opportunities to grow and develop and to really shine in the organization and with their customers? I think great leaders know how to do that. They know when to ask and when to tell. They know when to be giving a lot of direction, and when to be giving a little bit of direction. But at the end of the day, I really feel like they get tremendous fulfillment, and really get very jazzed up when their people do well. And I think that's authentic.
