Episode 3772: Robert Glazer shares how discovering and defining his core values transformed his leadership from a patchwork imitation of others into an authentic, values-driven approach. By aligning decisions and relationships with clearly defined principles, he unlocked his potential as both a leader and a person, and reveals why true leadership requires authenticity, self-awareness, and clarity of values. Quotes to ponder: "Level 5 leadership can only be built on a foundation of authenticity and self-awareness, a foundation that only comes with a clear understanding of one's core values."

Most companies chase growth by selling more things to more people, faster. Mark Adams has spent nearly 40 years proving there is another way. As Director of Vitsœ, he runs the company with one mission: to help people live better with less that lasts longer. In this episode, Dart talks to Mark about why Vitsœ resists conventional business rules, how it builds longevity and trust into everything it makes, and what it means to design a company that could outlive its founders.Mark Adams has led Vitsœ, the British furniture company known for its long partnership with Dieter Rams, since 1985. He has shaped it into a quiet revolution against planned obsolescence and short-term thinking. Rejecting titles, hierarchies, and corporate clichés, he has built a company where design, culture, and ethics operate as one system, showing that a business guided by principles rather than profit can thrive for generations.In this episode, Dart and Mark discuss:- Why Vitsœ rejects CEOs, boards, and traditional hierarchies- How longevity gets built into culture- Why Vitsœ recruits for character before skill- Why Vitsœ's customers keep coming back- Raising over £8 million directly from customers- What “love” in customer emails really means- How Dieter Rams' design philosophy guides Vitsœ's decisions- Why design is really about systems, not things- What it takes to build a company designed to last- And other topics…Mark Adams is the Director of Vitsœ, the British design company best known for its long partnership with Dieter Rams and its modular furniture that grows with people's lives. After encountering the 606 shelving system in 1985, Mark established Vitsœ UK in 1986 to bring Rams's designs to a wider audience. He later succeeded Niels Vitsœ as Managing Director in 1993 and has led the company ever since with a quiet but radical vision: to build a business grounded in longevity, sufficiency, and trust. Mark believes companies should exist to help people live better with less, and he has spent nearly four decades proving that principle through every part of Vitsœ's work, from design to manufacturing to culture.Resources Mentioned:Vitsœ: https://www.vitsoe.com/usGood to Great, by Jim Collins: https://www.amazon.com/Good-Great-Some-Companies-Others/dp/0066620996Built to Last, by Jim Collins and Jerry I.

Leadership development can take two distinct types: horizontal and vertical. Horizontal growth targets on adding new skills, knowledge, and competencies broadening what a leader can do. Vertical development, on the other hand, alters how a leader thinks, perceives, and responds. This enables leaders to handle complexity, stress, and uncertainty by increasing maturity, emotional regulation, and perspective. While horizontal development can make a leader more capable in the short term, vertical growth boosts their ability to inspire and create lasting value. However, to achieve sustainable leadership impact, understanding both is the key.  Ryan Gottfredson is a leadership expert, author, and researcher specializing in vertical development and organizational psychology. He is the founder and owner of Ryan Gottfredson LLC. He helps organizations vertically develop their leaders primarily through focusing on mindsets. He is also a leadership professor at the College of Business and Economics at California State University-Fullerton. Ryan is the author of the USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestseller ‘Success Mindsets: The Key to Unlocking Greater Success in Your Life, Work, & Leadership'. He joined us today to talk about vertical development, which transforms leaders at their core.    HIGHLIGHTS [02:25] Vertical development vs. horizontal development.  [05:00] Maturity in vertical development.  [07:19] Self-protection vs. value creation.  [11:26] Developing metacognitive skills.  [15:30] Jim Collins' Level 5 Leadership Framework.  [23:12] Challenges of level 5 leadership.  [27:13] The window of tolerance.  [32:00] Managing stress at the moment.  [35:50] Practical strategies to manage stress.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Notice if your instinct under pressure is to protect yourself or create value.  Resist the emotional comfort that can come at the expense of long-term innovation and growth. Even transformational leaders have flaws, accept imperfection.  Prioritize value creation over self-protection.  Recognize your current ‘window of tolerance' and notice what triggers you out of it.  Manage stress proactively and avoid slipping into the self-protection mode.    RESOURCES Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap...And Others Don't  by Jim Collins  amazon.com/Good-Great-Some-Companies-Others/dp/0066620996    Connect with Ryan Gottfredson LinkedIn - linkedin.com/in/ryangottfredson/  Website -  ryangottfredson.com/  Instagram - instagram.com/ryangottfredson/  Amazon - amazon.com/stores/author/B07WVT2Z8T    Orange County Restaurant Recommendations (Bonus!) https://www.elfarolitomex.com/ https://www.tacosloscholos.net/   90-Day High-Performance Dashboard You can't afford to let your people drift.

Luke O'Mahoney is one of the leaders of the movement to reframe work as a product that every company sells to employees. In particular, Luke has gone deep into the implications of recognizing work as a subscription product, and brings an absolute wealth of ideas to bear on how to create the kind of work experience product that employees want to buy every day. People don't stay in jobs because of free snacks, ping pong tables, or flashy recruiting campaigns. They stay because work works for them.Luke is now a chief people officer - in recovery.

Business is not just about making money. Business owners, especially those starting out, should have a clearly stated purpose or the essence of the organization. More than the numbers and figures, businesses exist to provide value to their customers.  Likewise, customers recognize value when you provide them with products and services worth their time, effort, and money. Most of them, if not all, crave a personalized experience and want to feel cared for.  Fred Reichheld, also known as the “high priest” of loyalty and the creator of the Net Promoter System℠ (NPS®), joins us on the Greatness Machine to talk about customer loyalty and his book, Winning on Purpose. In this episode, Darius and Fred discuss what great leadership looks like, the key driver of customer loyalty, and the ways to enrich the lives of other people. They also talk about NPS and eNPS and how these things work and help businesses measure the quality of their customer service. Topics include: What is the one key driver of customer loyalty Definition of Net Promoter System℠ (NPS®) and how it works Fred explains the NPS rating scale Verbal NPS versus digital NPS NPS versus eNPS What makes a great leader And other topics… Resources mentioned: Winning on Purpose: https://www.amazon.com/Winning-Purpose-Unbeatable-Strategy-Customers/dp/1647821789 Good to Great: https://www.amazon.com/Good-Great-Some-Companies-Others/dp/0066620996  Connect with Fred: Website: https://www.netpromotersystem.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/fredreichheld/  Connect with Darius: Website: https://therealdarius.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dariusmirshahzadeh/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imthedarius/ YouTube: https://therealdarius.com/youtube Book: The Core Value Equation https://www.amazon.com/Core-Value-Equation-Framework-Limitless/dp/1544506708 Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Robert Weiss discuss:Why creating video content is about more than video. Authentic video content for your law firm and for your target audience. Aligning video content with your law firm's business strategy. Planning to repurpose your video content before you ever film.  Key Takeaways:Start with video content today if you're not already doing it - even if it means hiring a professional to guide you through the process. Authenticity trumps perfection. Your video does not need to be absolutely perfect, fully scripted, or error-free. Start your videos with thought leadership - just take the time to answer the top five questions you get asked all the time and know the answer forward and backward. There is power in video testimonials. While it may seem strange for your clients at first, people will say yes eventually if you keep asking and those will add additional strength to support your business.  "I'm not saying don't ever do the brand video or the pro bono video, I'm saying, get started with the most value and get the needle to move." —  Robert WeissGet a free copy of Steve's book “Sales-Free Selling” here: www.fretzin.com/sales-free-selling Thank you to our Sponsors!Lawmatics: https://www.lawmatics.com/bethatlawyer/Get Staffed Up: https://getstaffedup.com/bethatlawyer/Green Cardigan Marketing: https://greencardiganmarketing.com/ Episode References: Good to Great by Jim Collins - https://www.amazon.com/Good-Great-Some-Companies-Others/dp/0066620996 About Robert Weiss: President of MultiVision Digital, a New York video production and video marketing company,that provides the full spectrum of video strategy, video production and video marketingservices.
