Tune in to Episode 22 of the Jack Canfield podcast to hear Steve's inspiring and truly eye-opening insights into how genuine care and connection can drive success. He cuts through the touchy-feely misconceptions of love in business with real-life examples of cultures where employees and leaders learn to truly love what they do and make customers feel the same way. He delves deep into his philosophy of Greater Than Yourself and how, whether you're leading a team, running a business, or just looking to amplify your own personal growth, anyone of any age can apply these ideas to living a more fulfilling and successful life.  Inside this episode you'll learn about: Why Love is Just Damn Good Business: Steve explains how the key to a successful business is creating an experience their customers will love, rather than just treating business as a money-making scheme (03:18) Love As Extreme Leadership: Steve describes how he challenges business leaders to create a culture beyond customer experience where everybody loves their work (06:05) Leading By Example: How a CEO turned his company around by learning his employees' names, letting them hang out together, and even risked losing money to care for his customers + the pizza delivery guy who changed his customers' light bulbs + why customers drop in just to say hello to a bank teller (09:34) “It Starts With Us”: Jack and Steve talk about the importance of not waiting for the culture to change to start making a difference + How Ritz Carlton's policy of letting employees make their own decisions creates the “wow” experience for their customers (24:58) Build Something Greater Than Yourself: Steve breaks down the core principles of GTY – expand yourself, give yourself, and replicate yourself + how great leaders always seek to make people better than them + how GTY starts small with one person then expands to 100 people (31:18   Anyone Can Do It: Jack and Steve share inspiring stories of eighth graders being mentored by devoted teachers and how they mentor other children themselves + success is redefined as making someone else grow into their best self (40:38) Resources mentioned: Greater Than Yourself - The Ultimate Lesson of True Leadership Love Is Just Damn Good Business - Do What You Love in the Service of People Who Love What You Do The Radical Leap: A Personal Lesson in Extreme Leadership Connect with Steve: stevefarber.com Let's Connect: Jack Canfield Podcast Website  Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn Submit your questions, feedback, topic suggestions, and future guest requests directly to Jack, here!

STEVE FARBER, the president of Extreme Leadership, is a leadership consultant and speaker, and the author of the national bestseller The Radical Leap, The Radical Edge, and Greater Than Yourself. Favorite Success Quote “Money can buy you a fine dog, but only love can make it wag its tail” ~Kinky Freedman Key Points 1. Love is Just as Critical to Business as it is to Relationships There is an interesting paradigm shift that occurs when most men shed their casual shirts and loafers and don their three-piece suits and black oxfords to prepare for a day at work. Only minutes before these men set out to bring home the bacon, they are acutely aware of their need to show up in their daily lives with an unconditional love and compassion towards the people they care about. However, as they rev the engine to their four-door saloon and begin the dreaded “cubicle commute” something changes. They no longer hold the internal belief that “love is the answer.” Instead, they approach their day with a cold hearted mentality that values little more than efficiency and results. But they are missing something. You see, the laws that govern social interactions and leadership are laws for a reason. They apply inside of the office just as much as they apply outside. And yet, most leaders seem to forget that just like building a family requires love and acceptance, building a business requires a deep sense of love and appreciation, not just for what you do, but for the people you do it with. While you might earn a decent income by approaching your business with an attitude of ruthlessness and aggression, you will be able to build something infinitely more impactful and powerful by approaching your business with an attitude of unconditional love. Love your employees, seek to help them grow to meet their potential and achieve their dreams. Love your customers, not by trying to sell them a product or service, but by listening to them and discovering how you can serve them to the best of your ability. Love the work that you do, the people that you do it with, and the people that you do it for and the results will be greater than your wildest dreams. 2. Expand Yourself to Expand Others I want you to imagine that you are a soldier on the field of battle. The bullets are flying, mortars are exploding, and the screams of the wounded and dying fill your ears. When all of the sudden, BAM! You fall down to the dirt as a bullet makes contact with your torso. As you lay in the sand, bullets pinging off the earth around you, you look over to your left and see that one of your friends has been wounded as well. After a few seconds of recovery, you realize that your wound is not fatal. What happens next? If you are a fan of war movies or someone with a particularly idealistic view of the world, you would likely say “Run and help your friend!” And while this is a noble sentiment, it is also entirely foolish. Before you can help your wounded brother in arms, you need to first take care of yourself. You need to clean and dress your wound and ensure that it will not impede your ability to save your friend and finish the fight. And this is where most men get it wrong. We invest so much time and energy into others around us, trying to give everything we have without realizing that a life of complete selflessness is truly the ultimate selfishness. If you are not taking the time to consistently expand your own mind, your own abilities, your own skillsets, spirit, and emotional resilience, then how the hell can you expand others? You cannot give what you do not have, and the first step to truly serving others is to serve yourself. Take time for yourself, allow yourself to recharge and recuperate, invest into your growth and education. Then, and only then, will you be fully equipped and able to serve others to your fullest capacity. 3. The Greatest Leaders are the One’s Who Focus on Making Others Greater than Themselves I want you to imagine for a second that it is Friday night. After a long week of grinding and hustling to achieve your dreams, you are ready to let your hair down and have planned an epic “Boys Night Out” with your friends at a local nightclub. Normally, this night is reserved for you and 4 other close friends, but tonight is different. Tonight, two of the men in your crew are bringing along a friend of their own. Suited up, looking dapper as Frank Sinatra himself, and ready to have one helluva night, you roll up to the first venue and walk in to meet the new guys. The first guy,  is a tall, shredded, specimen of a guy, adorned in the latest designer clothes, his hair slicked back perfectly, wearing a smile bright enough blind you. The second guy is relatively plain. By all outward appearances, he is completely average, he doesn’t look like Homer Simpson, but he’s no Brad Pitt. Now, with the first impressions out of the way, you begin interacting with these two men and start to see their true character appear. The first man, while a class act by appearances, spends the entire night focused on himself. He is constantly talking about himself, his achievements, and his plans. And while his accomplishments are admittedly impressive, he never pauses the conversation long enough for you to get a word in. The second man however, barely speaks about himself at all. Not because he is trying to be mysterious, but rather because he is so intent and so focused on you. Not only is he a master at asking questions and learning about who you are and what you want, but more importantly, he seems genuinely interested and intrigued to find out more. Now the night shifts and your crew begins talking to a few of the local girls hanging around the bar. Guy #1 immediately jumps in, bragging about all of his accomplishments and telling everyone within earshot just how great he is, completely blocking you from even introducing yourself to the increasingly annoyed beauties at his side. Man #2 however, doesn’t say a word about himself, he takes every opportunity that is presented to tell the woman he is talking to just how great you are and gives you opportunities to humbly boast about your own accomplishments and successes. Now… Who are you going to want to hang out with after that night? Who will you want to initiate into your group? Who would you be willing to follow? I think the answer is pretty clear. 4. See the Pain as a Learning Experience  Whenever you are in pain, there is one phrase that you never, ever, ever, want to hear. “This is an opportunity for you to learn” However, your cries for silence notwithstanding, truer words have never been spoken. I want you to think back with me for a moment. Almost all of you have probably experienced a breakup at some point in your life, and many of us have experienced heart breaks so devastating that we thought we would never recover. Now, I want you to relive that pain. I want you to go back to the minute that you read that text, hung up the phone, or left that cafe and realized “It’s over.” It sucks right… Keep going. I want you to remember the nights where you cried yourself to sleep, the days when you couldn’t focus at work because all you could think about was how much you missed her, those moments of weakness where you wallowed in self-pity believing that you would never find someone as good as her. And now, I want you to come back to the present. For many of you, the pain described above is still very real, for some of you it may have even happened in the past month, or week, or even day. But for many of you, this pain is a distant memory, time has healed the old wounds, and you have moved on with your life. And for almost all of you, you learned some of the most valuable lessons you have ever learned in the process. We live in a society that avoids pain, avoids failure, and avoids anything short of perfection. But you have to realize that pain is our greatest teacher, failure is our greatest ally, and perfection is a ghost that leaves us with nothing. Any man who undergoes a radical change in his life almost always does so out of a place of pain. And as he progresses on his path and looks back at the steps he has taken, he realizes that the pains and failures that he endured were the very things that equipped him to live the life that he loves today. Don’t fear pain and failure, learn from them. 5. You Are Responsible for Your Own Experience  There was an old study compiled in the 50’s-60’s, and while I can’t remember exactly where I read it, the lesson it taught is one of the most profound and life-altering truths that you can learn. The study followed the lives of two identical twin brothers who grew up in a family with an abusive alcoholic father. Decades after leaving their home, the twins were interviewed by the researchers, who found results that were nothing short of extraordinary. One of the brothers ended up almost exactly as his father had, except worse. He was heavily addicted to drugs and alcohol, homeless, and had spent years of his life in and out of jail for countless petty crimes. When the researchers asked him why he ended up where he was, his response was simple, “With a father like mine, how could I have done things any differently?” The other brother’s story, however, was quite different. When the researchers tracked down the second brother, they found him living in the suburbs, happily married with two children and a flourishing career. Surprised at the marked difference between the brothers, the researchers asked the second twin the exact same question. How did you end up here? His answer? “With a father like mine, how could I have done things any differently?” You see, you are not responsible for the crap that happens to you in life. Economies crash, family and friends die, accidents happens, and life throws a wrench into your best laid plans. But you are 100% responsible for your reaction to your circumstances, the story you tell yourself about your circumstances, and ultimately, the experience that you have in life. You can choose how you react to situations, you can determine the story that you tell, and you, and only you, can decide right here and now whether you are going to take the sh!t that life throws at you laying down or whether you are going to be a man of grit and determination and create a future for yourself regardless of the cards you have been dealt.

Farber is the former Vice President of legendary management guru Tom Peters company and is the founder and CEO of The Extreme Leadership Institute, an organization devoted to helping its clients develop award-winning cultures and achieve radical results. The Institutes team has helped over 25 companies earn a ranking on the Best Places to Work list. Farber’s third book, Greater Than Yourself, debuted as a Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestseller. His second book, The Radical Edge, was hailed as a playbook for harnessing the power of the human spirit. And his first book, The Radical Leap: A Personal Lesson in Extreme Leadership, was named one of the 100 Best Business Books of All Time. His much-anticipated new book, Love is Just Damn Good Business, published by McGraw-Hill, is available now. Farber is a member of the exclusive Transformational Leadership Council, and his column, The Extreme Leadership Chronicles, runs frequently on Inc.com. In this episode of Destination on the Left, Steve Farber, founder and CEO of Extreme Leadership, joins us to talk about his new book, Love is Just Damn Good Business. Steve breaks down the fundamental framework that inspired his book and explains why love is a key element of good business practices. What You Will Learn in This Episode: Steve’s journey into leadership coaching and what leadership means to him What is extreme leadership and how you can use Steve’s principles in the travel and tourism industry Why the quality of leadership separates good companies from not so good companies Why love is a fundamental element of good business practices The elements of LEAP How love can be used to achieve greater levels of productivity in collaborative environments Beyond Position and Title Steve Farber is a best-selling author, a keynote speaker, and a veteran leadership coach whose framework in The Radical LEAP has inspired entrepreneurs across the country to realize their dreams. His new book, Love is Just Damn Good Business, builds on the principles in the Radical LEAP and explains why love is a fundamental element of good business practices. Like Steve says, “do what you love in the service of people who love what you do.” And in the latest episode of Destination on the Left, he dives into this leadership philosophy in detail. There is a lot to gain by understanding Extreme Leadership and how it applies to the travel and tourism industry, and there is a lot to learn from Steve’s journey as well. Leaders of Meaning Significance Steve has been an entrepreneur for a long time, but in the beginning, he struggled to fight a waning passion for the industry in which he started his first business. It brought him to a fork in the road where he had to choose between seeking out his true calling or focusing on money alone. The meandering soul search exposed him to many different industries and businesses, introducing him to incredible mentors and providing him with a keen understanding of the one thing that separates great companies from not so great companies—the quality of their leadership. This turned out to be Steve’s sweet spot, and since that epiphany, he has been working to help shape leaders of meaning and significance who produce radical results. The LEAP Elements Leaders are typically defined by a prestigious position or title. But the best leaders are defined by their actions alone. That is why Steve’s Radical LEAP framework expresses leadership as a result of cultivating love, generating energy, inspiring audacity, and providing proof. You don’t need a position or title to practice any of these things, and you can apply this operating system in any scenario by molding it to the way you do business. That means it will even work in the frustrating collaborative environments of the travel and tourism industry by increasing productivity and making DMOs operate more effectively. Love is the foundation of the entire framework, so if you can master that element, the rest will take care of themselves.

In episode 67 of Fresh Tracks I speak with leadership consultant, speaker, and best-selling author Steve Farber about what it means to be a true leader. His lofty plans to change the world one person at a time through his Greater Than Yourself project are shared, along with the understanding that the highest purpose of our work is the development of other people are all discussed on the show. Steve shares that our ability to shift from a “me” perspective to an “us” perspective changes everything ranging from people wanting to be around us to the respect we receive. Running your life and your business knowing that we are all connected rather than feeling you are alone effects not only your results but how you feel as a person contributing to your company, society, and your family. Steve shares that life and business are not a win-lose, zero sum game. It’s the quality of the relationships we have are important. Our ability to create a culture of giving, to facilitate relationships and share knowledge, life lessons, connections and experience are invaluable gifts to share with others. Seeing our world and working with others from a place of giving rather than hording knowledge and information to control and have power over others are just a few of the skills that make you an extreme leader.

Farber, Steve, foreword by Patrick Lencioni and Matthew Kelly. Greater Than Yourself: The Ultimate Lesson of True Leadership. New York: Doubleday, 2009 …real leadership is not about calling yourself "leader;" rather, it's about taking up the cause to change some piece of the world for the better. Real leadership, in other words, is an extreme act rooted in love and motivated by a desire to create a better world--whether it's the world of your company, team, neighborhood, or family. Simply put, real leadership is Extreme Leadership. "There are three tenets of Greater Than Yourself," said Charles, writing upside down on the pad so it was right side up to me. "Expand Yourself, Give Yourself, and Replicate Yourself." Your job is to do whatever you can, to act in such a way that you extend and offer yourself to another, with the expressed purpose of elevating that person above yourself. "Expand Yourself, Give Yourself, and, finally, Replicate Yourself by teaching others to do exactly what you've done for them." …that, in fact, is the first element of Expand Yourself: Shift your perspective from isolated to connected; from alone to interdependent; from me to us. GTY is really just a form of very personal, one-on-one philanthropy. …a culture in which everyone reaches out not just to help, but to help each other excel. … My job is to lead the company, not to be the smartest, greatest, most talented person in the building. You want to get noticed around here? … Then use your life experience to start raising someone else up.
