It's hard to be a good boss and even harder to work under a bad one. This episode breaks down how to begin as a new leader with little to no experience, the critical errors leaders often make, and what to do when your boss is suboptimal. We explore how quick fixes, lack of empathy, and poor communication can alienate teams and stifle growth. Leaders who ignore the importance of relationships, skip proper onboarding, or impose their own agendas without collaboration set themselves up for failure. We also discuss how future writing can help leaders clarify their vision and avoid these pitfalls. Finally, we offer strategies to recognize and correct these missteps, creating a more effective and cohesive leadership style.

You've heard the word curiosity mentioned here quite often. Because it's an essential part of a coaching culture, curiosity is a topic that deserves a closer look. In this solo episode, we are diving into the concept of curiosity, what it means to be curious, and the pitfalls of “knowing” too much. You'll also hear practical tips for fostering curiosity, such as asking open-ended questions and active listening, which can improve effectiveness through curiosity.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Dr. Sharon Meit Abrahams discuss:Teaching and mentoring in professional growthDeveloping people skills in lawLeadership and management training for legal professionalsAddressing underperformance in legal settings Key Takeaways:Teaching involves not only imparting knowledge but also inspiring professionals, particularly in law, to develop essential life skills beyond technical expertise.Lawyers often struggle with business development due to a lack of training in people skills, which are vital for client relationships and practice growth.Effective supervision and leadership in law firms require more than delegation; they need clear communication, constructive feedback, and support to help junior staff succeed.Addressing the root causes of underperformance in associates or partners can lead to major improvements in productivity and professional growth. "Success isn't always about money.

The latest episode of The New Leader Podcast is here!  My guest is the one and only, Tom Kolditz. I cannot recall an episode that included so many actionable pieces of advice. It was truly a pleasure to hear his perspective on what leadership skills are needed for the next generation. Grab a pen! Tom's resume is stacked, but here's a snapshot: - Highly experienced professional public speaker, and global expert in leading in crisis and in extreme circumstances - Retired Army general officer - Founder of 5 (!) successful leader development start-ups, including: - West Point Leadership Center - Leader Development Program at the Yale School of Management - Doerr Institute for New Leaders at Rice University We sat down to chat about critical skills that the next generation of leaders will need. You don't want to miss this one!  A few example of what you will learn:  - What a leader's most important obligation is (this one may surprise you) - How an outward focus on others can set you apart - Why new leaders ask surface questions and successful leaders ask tactical questions  - And much, much more! Ps. My favourite line? "Be kind to yourself. You will never get leadership exactly right."    Being influential I think it's important for leaders to understand that being a leader is not about them. Being a leader is about having influence and being effective at improving the performance of other people. So it doesn't have to do with any particular quality you have as a person – doesn't matter if you are an extrovert or an introvert – you should pretty much be yourself. Success or failure is determined by your influence on others and by their actions, not by any personal qualities you have as a leader.   Be kind to yourself I don't care how long you've lead or how many people you're in charge with, you will never get leadership exactly right. It's too large. And the best leaders that I know make mistakes all the time. So be kind to yourself; when something happens in your organization that you did not expect, just be kind to yourself because things like that will continue to happen throughout your entire career.   Things that should be done in private In making corrections, always do it in private. If you have to call somebody out, do it in private because you don't want that negativity poisoning the whole team. Because when they look at how you treat someone else, they're going to assume that that's how you're going to treat them if they are in the same situation in the future. That also goes with firing people.       Links and Resources Connect with Tom: Website, LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook The Leadership Challenge by James Kouzes and Barry Posner (book) Good to Great by Jim Collins (book) Good to Great For the Social Sector by  Jim Collins (book) Jim Collins books Simon Sinek books Marshall Goldsmith books

In our very first episode, we hear Dr. John Maxwell (No. 1 New York Times bestselling author, leadership coach, entrepreneur, and speaker) unpack some insights into the enduring success of his own leadership journey, reflecting on the inevitability of fear, the necessity of failure, and the sustaining power of humility. We hope you enjoy this conversation (and John) as much as we did, as he reminds us that our greatest leadership challenge is and always will be ourselves–and as we commit to getting bigger on the inside, the outside takes care of itself.

I'd like to begin this episode by acknowledging the land that I am learning and living on is the traditional un-ceded, un-surrendered territory of the Anishnaabeg Algonquin People.When I say the term survivorship bias, what's the first thought that comes to mind? Most often, the response I receive is that of people using their personal and professional survival stories to help them make informed choices.  And while this is a great answer, this is most definitely NOT what survivorship bias is about.Survivorship bias is, in my opinion, one of the most vital biases that emerging leaders need to understand if they want to be truly open minded with their leadership decisions.In this episode, you'll hear from me, Simon Kardynal, your host, where I'll talk about the basis of survivorship bias and then provide some examples of survivorship bias in action.  You'll learn how to see this bias in yourself and your team, and then you'll hear how to use this bias to yours and your teams' advantage, making everyone more efficient. Reviews are the best way for us to know what we are doing right, what we are doing wrong, and what we should talk about in the future, so please click on the links below and let us know if this episode was helpful.Connect Here:Trench Leadership Web-site: www.trenchleadership.caFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Trench-Leadership-A-Podcast-from-the-Front-10027091202630Instagram: trench_leadershipYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ3DKPuh_ipqJqyeR0vv46QTwitter: @TrenchLeadersh1Iglen Studios: https://www.iglen.comConcussion Legacy Foundation web-site: https://www.concussionfoundation.caDispatches Adventure Ride web-site: https://www.dispatchesride.com  Relevant Links:1.

Life has many struggles, but with a champion, someone who will walk and talk, we have someone who reminds us of our progress and gives us hope. I was recently talking with someone about the struggles in their life. We had walked many a mile together over the years. As we talked, I asked if they remembered how they were five years ago. We actually rated some of their feelings. Five years ago, it was a 9 out of 10 struggle, but now it was 2 out of 10. They looked up with a sense of realization. Things had actually changed. Some of the issues they faced back then hadn't changed that much, but many of them had. From this, they took a great deal of encouragement, and I did too. For them, the deepest parts of their journey had not been seen by many. They didn't want others to know. But there were a few special people, such as myself, that they had let into their private dark hole. In my eyes, they were a superhero. Very few went where they went. Now they were strong in ways unimaginable a few years ago. Noticing the progress Have you ever been to a forest, and all you see are the trees, the obstacles, and maybe a faint path to follow? Your attention gets consumed by what is all around you. You forget about how far you've come. Sure, you might feel it in your body. Aches and pains, but all you know is the depth and darkness of the forest. That is until you climb a hill, or there is a break in the trees, and you can look back and see how far you've come. You're amazed at the progress from placing one foot in front of another—one millimeter at a time. There is a saying, ‘You can't see the forest for the trees. ‘ I would also say you can't see the progress for the trees. The depth of the present struggle is so all-consuming that there is no pause to take in the wonder of where you've come from. A champion walking alongside us invites us to take a break, have a sip of water and celebrate the progress. I think it's so important to have people in our lives that in various ways, can lift us out of the daily battle with the trees, the brush, and the weeds. They point out how far we have come and offer us a perspective about where we are going. Then it's back to the millimeter by millimeter bush-bashing through the shrubbery of weeds and wilderness. There can be loneliness to this journey. One of the features of many people's journey is loneliness. You feel that no one is there with you. Possibly you might have friends and family, but there you are with your happy mask because you don't want anyone else to know the deep struggle you're going through. So you're alone. You may have reached out, been dismissed, felt overlooked, and disregarded. No one gets you. You wonder why you're so self-focused. Isnt that selfishness? Surely others have it worse off than you.  Maybe they do, but actually, you don't know. Your journey is your journey. You trudge on seeing the trees, the weeds, the struggle. The champion in your family There is an interesting little verse in the Psalms. God places the lonely in families Psalm 68:6 This is not so much a family of mum, dad, and the kids. More so, it is a nest of relationships where we can call home. I have a champion in my family nest. Actually, I might have more than one. This is not someone who has a big shiny winners cup but more so someone who desires to champion me. A champion is someone who supports or defends a person or cause. Think of these champions Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement Nelson Mandela and the Anti-apartheid movement Kate Shepherd and the women's suffrage movement Bill Sinclair and his support of John Bishop Mary Smith and her commitment to her friend Jenny Bertland You probably don't know the last two champion names on the list. I don't know them either. They are fictitious. I made them up. But you probably do know people like them. People who walk alongside someone and encourage them when they can't see the forest for the trees. They can't see the progress for the weeds. We all need a Mental health champion. I recently had a champion share some very kind words with me. It filled my heart like a breathe of fresh air fills the lungs. I sucked it in and let it seep in deep. They weren't trite words. Instead, they were words crafted out of a known awareness of being in a battle themselves. They knew the walk and so could talk the walk. I needed that. Into the pool room – my encouragement journal – went their words.   I believe we all need people who will regularly come alongside and pour words of life into the dry and parched areas of the soul. People who have taken the time to watch and listen. Friends who will champion us as a person of great worth and value. Let's walk and talk We need more Bills and Marys to walk and talk with Johns and Jennys. Champions. We have a mental health crisis, and I believe much of it could be addressed by people learning how to walk and talk. Sharing some wisdom, crying together, laughing. Reflecting on progress made in life because there were simple conversations and words of encouragement. I wonder what would happen if all of us would say to one other person, I want to walk and talk with you and be your champion? Quotes to consider The word encouragement has its root in the Latin word cor, which literally means “heart”. So does the word courage.  To have courage means to have heart. To encourage – to provide with or give courage – literally means to give others heart. James Kouzes and Barry Posner – Encouraging the Heart Research teaches us that the capacity to reach out to others for help in dealing with fear and pain is the best single remedy for emotional injury.  Whether the person is struggling with the effects of combat, rape, or childhood injury, the best predictor of trauma resolution is good social support. Terrence Real, I Don't Want To Talk About It. Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: ‘What! You too? I thought I was the only one. C.S. Lewis Don't walk in front of me… I may not follow Don't walk behind me… I may not lead Walk beside me… just be my friend. Albert Camus Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be. Ralph Waldo Emerson Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless. Mother Teresa  Loneliness is the first thing which God's eye named not good. John Milton “There is a soul yonder which is lonely.” And he added, deep in his own mind, “I owe him a visit.” The priest in Les Miserables  Victor Hugo Real encouragement occurs when words are spoken from a heart of love to another's recognized fear.  Larry Crabb Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness. Desmond Tutu Questions to answer Who has been a champion for you? What are the qualities of a good champion? Are you able to look back and see the progress?

James Kouzes and Barry Posner – Encouraging the Heart Research teaches us that the capacity to reach out to others for help in dealing with fear and pain is the best single remedy for emotional injury.  Whether the person is struggling with the effects of combat, rape, or childhood injury, the best predictor of trauma resolution is good social support. Terrence Real, I Don't Want To Talk About It. Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: ‘What! You too? I thought I was the only one. C.S. Lewis Don't walk in front of me… I may not follow Don't walk behind me… I may not lead Walk beside me… just be my friend. Albert Camus Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be. Ralph Waldo Emerson Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless. Mother Teresa  Loneliness is the first thing which God's eye named not good. John Milton “There is a soul yonder which is lonely.” And he added, deep in his own mind, “I owe him a visit.” The priest in Les Miserables  Victor Hugo Real encouragement occurs when words are spoken from a heart of love to another's recognized fear.  Larry Crabb Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness. Desmond Tutu Questions to answer Who has been a champion for you? What are the qualities of a good champion? Are you able to look back and see the progress?

"Debate with data and facts, not just opinions and passion." - Jacqueline Rideout Today my special guest is Jacqueline Rideout, Team Lead for Learning & Development at Verafin, the industry leader in financial crime management solutions. Based in St. John's, NL, Verafin's rapid growth has become a Canadian tech success story. In November 2020, Verafin was acquired by NASDAQ in a deal worth $2.75B US. We'll chat with Jac about her fast-paced leadership journey over the last eight years, and how you can leverage the lessons she's learned working in a world class company.   In today's episode, you'll learn: How you can love what you do by finding "red threads" at work (no, really!) Why mapping strengths can open new career doors for you Why culture is critical to organizational success (hint: words on a wall don't cut it) What has surprised Jac the most, and much more! If you find this episode valuable, please rate us on Apple Podcasts!   How to Fight Burnout Marcus Buckingham talks about the ‘red threads'; it's about finding those activities that bring you joy and energy, and then incorporating more of that into your day. Because that gives you a little bit more control even if you're in the most regimented type of job.   Mapping your strengths A strength isn't necessarily something that you're good at, or a weakness something that you're bad at. For me, your strengths are those tasks or skills that give you energy while weaknesses are the things that drain you. And it's not the same for everyone   What It Takes To Be A Good Leader Before, I actually thought that being a ‘good' leader means that you must know everything and that you have answers for everything. But that kind of mindset just made me a bad coach. Later on, I realized that being a good leader is not about just always having the right answers at hand; it's more about listening to the other person and asking the right questions so that you can truly understand the problem that you're trying to solve.   Links and Resources Connect with Jacqueline: LinkedIn The Leadership Challenge by Barry Posner and James Kouzes (book) Everyday People, Extraordinary Leadership by Barry Posner and James Kouzes (book) Death by Meeting by Patrick Lencioni (book)

It is without question that our response to the HIV epidemic would not be nearly as successful without effective leadership. Host James Watson chats with his guests Tara Jewal and Marc Seguin, both provincial managers of the Positive Leadership Development Institute (PLDI), about their approach to leadership and the exciting work they do. PLDI is a program that aims to support people living with HIV to realize their leadership potential and increase their capacity to participate meaningfully in community life. We can all be leaders, because as our guests point out, leaders are learners! Tara offers over a decade of professional expertise gained through national and international work, and volunteer roles. She has worked with the federal government, the Toronto People with AIDS Foundation, The Teresa Group, and currently manages the Positive Leadership Development Institute on behalf of the Ontario AIDS Network.Similar to his counterpart, Marc began his work in the HIV community as a volunteer with Friends for Life and the Retreat Team with Positive Living BC, which over time evolved into a paid position with Positive Living BC as the Manager of Volunteer Services. In his current role as Manager of the Positive Leadership Development Institute (PLDI) at the Pacific AIDS Network, he wants to provide leadership opportunities and encourage people living with HIV to meaningfully connect with their communities.What defines leadership?The conversation starts with an introduction to leadership development in HIV/AIDS work, and references the important work Greg Szekeres and his paper titled, Leadership development and HIV/AIDS, as well as The Leadership Challenge, developed by James Kouzes and Barry Posner. Core leadership components of PLDI that were discussed include:  Modeling the way Inspiring a shared vision Encouraging the heart Enabling others to act Challenging the process More about PLDI:PLDI is a program of the Ontario AIDS Network (OAN) and was first launched in 2006. Since then, PLDI has expanded its reach to BC, where its programming is supported by the Pacific AIDS Network, and in Quebec, where it is supported by COCQ-SIDA (the Coalition of Quebec community organizations fighting against HIV/AIDS).Visit the Ontario, BC, and Quebec web pages for more information on what exciting things PLDI is doing in each province, or contact our episode guests, Tara (tjewal@oan.red) and Marc (marc@pacificaidsnetwork.org ) directly.Are you considering this leadership training and would like to hear from a PLDI graduate?

KL095 Roxanne Kaufman Elliott Executive Coach | Speaker | Author Ignite Your Leadership Episode Summary I had an interesting leadership discussion with Roxanne Kaufman Elliott. Roxanne does one thing – leadership development. She does it through her love of the art of performance blended with the science of transformation in business and life.  Bio From her first main stage performance of a Celtic Sword dance at the age of 5; throughout school and college years as an arts and communication major; during years of non-profit work in the performing arts and leading restoration projects of old theatres into performing arts centers; through a meteoric rise in a highly successful corporate career as the only woman in a male-dominated industry; to stepping into the entrepreneurial sphere of creating a transformational leadership development company devoted to helping others become the very best of themselves; Roxanne has learned, developed, honed and discovered a deep understanding and passion for the art and science of genuine and authentic leadership and the power of performance... and how both are intrinsically and inherently linked to achieving success in life and business. This kind of leadership development results in three powerful success factors: 1.    It restores and inspires our passion, 2.    It renews and ignites our intellect, 3.    It transforms and impacts all that we do.

Want to be the next Uber and shake up your industry? Chances are you are doing it all wrong. Thinking a disruptive idea will create exponential change is missing the boat. Author, researcher and speaker Charlene Li says focus obsessively on your future customer and burn the boats to serve them best. This kind of commitment creates growth that is disruptive. Join us for some awesome and inspiring insights from her latest book, The Disruption Mindset - why some organisations transform while others fail. Why you should listen: Why you need to redefine growth as impact for more sustained and meaningful change. The most disruptive organisations are the ones that are the most structured - and what you can do to emulate their success. How to identify your future customer - and why you need to obsess about that. We explore: How disruption is never about the technology but obsessing about exponential impact. The four archetypes of disruptive leaders. How to galvanise the worried skeptics and all other naysayers. The power of a manifesto to align people behind transformational change.

In this episode of the 5 Leadership Questions podcast, Todd Adkins and Brad Waggoner breakdown the leadership book The Effective Executive by Peter Drucker. In their conversation they discuss the following questions: What's the book and why does it matter?Overview of the bookHow applicable is the book to leadership in my church?What are things churches should ignore from the book?What can you do this week in light of the book? BEST QUOTES “Effective leaders fight against being caught up in the day-to-day machinery of their business or ministry.""He would say effectiveness is a learned habit.""This book is applicable to anyone leading any team.""With the limited amount of time we have to assess things, we have to be selective of where we go to receive information.""We want to be careful about not sacrificing what's biblical, effective, or efficient on the altar of what's traditional.""Consensus is not the precondition of leadership, it is the by-product of leadership.""I think there is relevance for this church in this book and how you staff.""One of the trickier parts of leading a church is knowing how fast to change and what to change, but I think we have been too cautious.""I would fall in perfect alignment with him on the importance of making effective decisions, but how you lead people through change in the church can't be immediately applied.""If you have a team that you lead at your church, take a moment and ask where you may be slouching off."

In this episode, we explore the historical shift in leadership. We need to understand it in order to become better leaders. First, we will explore the history of leadership. We need to remember that Leadership evolves within an historical context. From the industrialisation of europe to what we call today the digital transformation. We saw the creation of hierarchical pyramid in the 1900s and almost 100 years later the the pyramid breaks down. Second, we describe leadership practices that you can look at to improve your leadership. There are many theories of leadership I prefer to focus on James Kouzes & Barry Posners Leadership Practice Inventory in short LPI. Third, we discover followership. We sometimes forget to talk about the followers but they are as valuable as the leader because they make you a leader. We can use Robert Kelley’s Followership dimensions and styles* to understand that. *adapted from Kellerman (2008) https://www.medicalprotection.org/uk/articles/followership-the-forgotten-part-of-leadership To conclude, we link the three topics discussed today. How does understanding the evolution of leadership, its practices and followership can impact your leadership? ~~~ Feel free to subscribe to the Podcast on the platform of your choice and leave a Feedback.

No existe mucha información cuantitativa sobre el liderazgo, por ello al conocer de su trabajo atraparon mi atención. Era una de las primeras veces que veía un estudio tan metódico, cualitativo y con data de más de 100,000 personas en todos los continentes por más de 30 años.Como parte de su estudio, le preguntaron a miles de personas cuáles características buscaban en los líderes para que ellos, voluntariamente, decidieran seguirlos.En la lista había características tales como inspirador, inteligente, leal, cooperativo, competente, etc.De manera constante, en cada continente, en cada año, una característica aparecía de #1 con más del 80% de los votos.Esa característica no era ser visionario, un gran comunicador, determinado o persistente. No era ser cariñoso o amigable.La característica #1 que las personas buscan para seguir voluntariamente a un líder es: la honestidad.Lo interesante de este resultado es que cuando se lo comento a las personas, la mayoría lo toma como que ya es una característica que cumplen a cabalidad… porque ¿No somos todos honestos?Existe un gran problema con la honestidad.

Bonni Stachowiak Teaching in Higher Ed Audio Question from Rick 3 Ways to Start Your Next Presentation Episode 126: How to Be Interesting When Pitching an Idea Show and Tell: How Everybody Can Make Extraordinary Presentations* by Dan Roam The Quick & Easy Way to Effective Speaking* by Dale Carnegie Question from Jay Daniel Pink said that one of the important qualities of a leader was the ability of the leader to insulate their team members from the “noise” of the organization (I completely agree). However, I have also seen that the act of insulating one’s team can get the leader into trouble. Ultimately, insulating one’s team members sometimes means saying no to new projects so that more important existing projects can get done. This very thing (insulation of team) has a tendency to create a great working environment for the followers but simultaneously put the leader in jeopardy with his superiors. How do you suggest dealing with such a quandary? In essence, the right thing to do for the leader’s people, and consequently the organization, is also the very thing that may cause political difficulty for the leader.

Are there professionals which wear both hats? I am currently in transition from solopreneur to possibly going back in the corporate world after about 12 years. It’s not a transition that I am eager for and is accompanied by a good measure of anxiety, confusion, self-doubt, etc. My feeling is that I need someone who can objectively guide me through answering some basic questions at this point in my life (What do I really want to do? What are my real strengths? Do I want to go back to the corporate grind? Should/How do I change careers?, etc.) while also helping me manage the emotional issues. I know this is a tall order (overwhelming for me right now). Should I be seeking one person who can offer a holistic view (a life coach)? Or two very different professionals (who may or may not offer conflicting advice)?
