Jeffrey Davidson is an executive and Enterprise Transformation Coach and Consultant. He has enabled personal development for thousands of individuals over the course of his career. We dive into the question of how to go about teaching leaders to cultivate diversity within their teams. Davidson takes two approaches: Asking blunt questions and taking simple steps. For example, he may ask leadership, “How many women are on the teams and what kinds of roles do they have?” to get them thinking about their organization’s diversity. He also helps them realize that “in every meeting, every person there has a voice, every voice has value, and some people need a few extra seconds or few extra minutes to respond. Just because some people talk a lot doesn’t mean they should, and just because some people don’t want to talk doesn’t mean you should allow them to never talk.” Accenture | SolutionsIQ’s Leslie Morse hosts. The Women in Agile community champions inclusion and diversity of thought, regardless of gender, and this podcast is a platform to share new voices and stories with the Agile community and the business world, because we believe that everyone is better off when more, diverse ideas are shared.Podcast Library: www.solutionsiq.com/womeninagile

"Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much." --Helen Keller As the saying goes...."teamwork makes the dreamwork!"  That's what we're talking about this week on the podcast:  Leading Great Teams! Jeffrey Davidson and I have a great conversation on what it takes to get your team to the next level, what it means to lead, and how what you do is so much more important than what you say.  We also talk about the power of failing.  I know you're going to dig it as much as I did. CHEERS! More on Jeffrey... By the age of 35, Jeffrey had been both director at a start-up and president of a multi-million dollar sales organization. Despite his reading, the teaching, and different roles he wasn’t a good leader. None of his teams came close to reaching their potential. In frustration he gave up on management and became a consultant. Real leadership began when a client asked Jeffrey to build a team of analysts. He started by hiring good people. And keeping an unrelenting focus on learning and improvement. Within 2 years the team was the envy of the organization. Eventually, Jeffrey realized he hadn’t taught people how to be a good team. The team had taught Jeffrey how to lead. Jeffrey took his hard-won knowledge and went back into consulting, rescuing high-impact projects. In every instance there were at least two problems — and one of them was always teamwork. Have you noticed the world is more connected, complex, chaotic, and faster than ever before? It feels like these forces are trying to rip your business apart. Jeffrey speaks to organizations about the need for responsive leaders and adaptive teams. More, he lays out the steps it takes for  leaders to get teams from Meh to High-Performance! Check out his website here: https://leadinggreatteams.com/

FAR 161 Expected Air Date: 06/23/18 Opening For most people Real Estate Investing is a Team Sport. You may not have any employees or if you do they won’t be a large number. This is in part by design. We got into this business to get away from the inherently stifling nature of the corporate world. We didn’t set out to create another corporate world. We are entrepreneurs. We want to come and go as we please. We want to go to the beach with our spouses and family on Thursday through Sunday. Ok, we want to fly to the Caribbean Thursday and come back Sunday. Or we want to take off and play a couple of golf courses in Alabama on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail on a Tuesday and a Wednesday. Whatever you wanted to do with the time, you mainly want it flexible, so we don’t have much in the way of a staff do we? Even though this is true, we STILL have a team. By the time you are working this business full time, you have assembled a team whether you want to admit it or not. You have a Realtor or three, a couple of general contractors, probably have several handymen, plumbers, and electricians on speed dial, you are getting to know a real estate attorney, you have wholesalers, birddogs, VA’s and possibly even an employee or two. You have a team. Your team won’t all be employees but like any team, it needs to be recruited, managed, and maintained with excellence. And this is where today’s guest shines. Jeffrey Davidson is a master team builder, consultant, and all-around helpful guy. He knows some things about real estate investing too, but his focus day in and day out is helping business leaders lead more effectively. Stay tuned because in just a few moments, he’s going to lay some wisdom on us all. I’ll be asking him for leadership tips and hiring expertise. His company is called Leading Great Teams.

Jeffrey Davidson, renowned team building expert who has worked with organizations like SouthWest, Walmart and Harvard, is talking to us about how to build volunteer teams that get the job done and move you closer to your mission. He also helps us navigate the all-to-familiar tension between an under-performing volunteer and the need for their full-engagement. Listen in!

People are a company's biggest resource. Having the right people doing the right work maximizes potential. Jeffrey Davidson talks to us about people, about how teams are built, and what team members need to succeed. One of the first things a leader needs to do is ask "What did I do well? What can I build upon? Where could I have done better?" This shows a vulnerability and builds a pattern of feedback that can: 1. Set an example and 2. Allow teams to learn "As humans, we are social beings." We need to be able to learn to get better. We need to create chances to learn and build learning cultures. Having trust and openness lets everyone learn from each other. Trust is one of the most important parts of a great team, not just their experience, age, or education. "Everyone wakes up, looks in the mirror, and wants to do a good job today." They might make mistakes, but their intentions are good. If we can direct their intentions, we can get great results. The secret to great teams is... Communication! Communicate: 1. What's the meaning? 2. How do we design success? Filter decisions and actions through those two things. No matter what role you play, a shared goal can help people because it allows people to work toward success using their strengths. People will be able to ask themselves if what they are working on is in alignment with their greater goal. We can also help our teams by providing feedback more regularly and personally with empathy. "Understand them and give them regular input." There are seven questions people want to know in teams: 1. What's the purpose? 2. How do we know we're working on the right stuff? 3. When can we declare success? 4. How do we get stuff done? What are our tools and processes? 5. How do we work together? 6. How am I doing? 7. Is it real?

Leadership Expert Shares How Sometimes You Need To Fail To Learn How To lead My guest today, on the Steve Jobs inspired Join Up Dots free podcast interview is a man with an interesting tale of how he got to where he is today, By the age of 35, he had been both director at a start-up and president of a multi-million dollar sales organization. Despite his reading, the teaching, and different roles he wasn't a good leader. None of his teams came close to reaching their potential. In frustration he gave up on management and became a consultant. Then things changed for him, and he realised that actually leadership was the key to his future, he had just gone about it the wrong way. Real leadership began when a client asked him to build a team of analysts. He started by hiring good people. And keeping an unrelenting focus on learning and improvement within 2 years the team was the envy of the organization. Eventually, he realized he hadn't taught people how to be a good team. The team had taught him how to lead. He took his hard-won knowledge and went back into consulting, rescuing high-impact projects. In every instance there were at least two problems — and one of them was always teamwork. Have you noticed the world is more connected, complex, chaotic, and faster than ever before? It feels like these forces are trying to rip your business and your life apart. He now speaks to organizations about the need for responsive leaders and adaptive teams. More, he lays out the steps it takes for leaders to get teams from Meh to High-Performance! So when did the penny start to drop and he realised that he was going about it the wrong way? And what stopped him thinking “I can't go backwards, what will people think of me”? Well let's find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Jeffrey Davidson Show Highlights During the show we discussed such weighty topics with Jeffrey Davidson such as: Why every business says that they are unique and in fact they are all basically the same, with the same issues. Why every employee can find an area of improvement in their business that can show the world that they can consult elsewhere. How meetings and building connections are the corner stone of Jeffreys work, and should be yours too. and lastly…. Jeffrey shares the steps that it takes to become the better version of yourself, whether within the company or outside on your own.

By the age of 35, Jeffrey Davidson had been both director at a start-up and president of a multi-million-dollar sales organization. Despite his reading, teaching, and different roles he had filled, he did not consider himself to be a good leader. None of his teams came close to reaching their potential, and due to his frustration, he gave up on management and became a consultant. Real leadership began when a client asked Jeffrey to build a team of analysts. He started by hiring good people. And keeping an unrelenting focus on learning and improvement. Within 2 years the team was the envy of the organization.  Eventually Jeffrey realized he had not taught people how to be a good team, the team had taught Jeffrey how to lead. Jeffrey took his hard-won knowledge and went back into consulting, rescuing high-impact projects. In every instance there were at least two problems — and one of them was always teamwork. You have probably notices that the world is more connected, complex, chaotic, and faster than ever before. It feels like these forces are trying to rip your business apart. Jeffrey s here to speak about the need for responsive leaders and adaptive teams. More, he is going to lay out the steps it takes for leaders to get teams from mediocre to High-Performance!    During This Show We Discuss… Questions that employees think about that should be answered, but questions they rarely ask How a great leader converts a team from mediocre to amazing The key to getting a team to work cohesively The biggest obstacles leaders face when building a winning team How often leaders should huddle with their team Methods to enhance performance of individuals on the team Things leaders can do to enhance overall team performance The difference leadership style makes to a team The best ways to motivate a team How to make sure your team is pursuing a common goal The best ways to setup team feedback loops The top characteristics of a high-performance team How to become a leader that others want to follow How to best empower your team How to best recognize the natural talents of a team member, and maximize that for the overall team And much more…

Make up your mind to win and nothing else. Norman Vincent Peale Peale believes that all the resources you need to succeed are in your mind. If you expect to succeed, you likely will. If you think you will fail, you probably are right. Peale counsels you to expect success. Pealeisms have a powerfully positive ring. Always play with abandon. It is always too soon to quit. Conditions will shift in your favor. Faith cures fear. Are you climbing aboard Peale's winners' express? Do you believe you can succeed? Dr. Peale knows you can succeed. You can if you think you can. Stinking thinking leads to hardening of the attitudes. Zig Ziglar is at least as colorful as this Ziglarism. In How to Get What You Want, Ziglar quickly cuts to the chase. If you don't think you deserve success, you will do things to keep you from getting it. How do winners who know they deserve success get their get up and go up and going? Ziglar contends they start from where they are with what they've got. They do not wait for something to change or for things to get better before deciding to succeed. They just get on with it. They go as far as they can see, knowing that once they get there they will always be able to see further. Ziglar combines his self-motivation philosophy with personal goals and a zest for people helping people. On personal goals, Ziglar zeros in with a total lack of subtlety. You cannot reach goals you do not have. You cannot reach someone else's goal. you can only reach your own. Thinking you are too busy is stinking thinking. It is not the lack of time that is the problem, it is the lack of direction. Either you think you deserve success and go for it or you will get cooked in the squat which is even worse than it sounds. You will get everything in life you want if you just help enough other people get what they want. For Ziglar, this is the nub of personal goal setting. It is both the value and the direction. More eloquently, Ziglar says, You don't climb the high mountain by yourself. it is in conjunction with others that you really accomplish the major things in life. If you look, think and behave like everyone else, you will look, think and behave like everyone else. Michael LeBoeuf calls his success philosophy Imagineering. Your uniqueness is your ticket into the winner's circle, according to LeBoeuf. Getting to the circle to be admitted is your personal creative challenge, the problem before you. But waiting on an inspiration is useless. Start on the problem and then the ideas will come. Inspiration, LeBoeuf advises, usually comes to those who have done the groundwork. In Blow Your Own Horn, Jeffrey Davidson shows he knows about the ways of winners. You are your own marketing department, according to Davidson. In one sentence, what is it that you are marketing. what is it that you have to offer the world? If you do not know, no one else is likely to care. Peter Drucker makes a similar point when, in The Frontiers of Management, he says, It is your vision or its absence that shapes your future. Drucker sees success itself as the ultimate test of success. and your personal vision is the key to your status as a winner or loser. In Developing Winner's Habits, Denis Waitley adds meat to the wishbone of goals and personal vision. Waitley insists that winners never let anyone know they are scared or unprepared. Winners act like winners. they project confidence. Waitley's strategy is to find one good idea to pull your trigger on, remembering that there is still plenty of time to win but never enough time to lose. Attack the problem and never the people. Roger Fisher and William Ury in Getting to Yes join the unanimous chorus of success experts in emphasizing the importance of people skills. Fisher and Ury give their attention to negotiating. but their main points could equally apply to almost any success opportunity. Focus on interests, not on positions. Invent options that benefit both sides. Use objective criteria,

Taking your professional teams from a “meh” level to a maze ball. The “meh” is a bad version of bla people are showing up but they’re not showing up, they’re here but not present, they’re looking for the paycheck, but they’re not going the extra mile. How a leader does or share things, act or organize things leads people to act that way. People are disengaged and the employees feels that they don’t have any power to change it. Employees have a lot of questions in their head but they don’t have the chance to ask it, so as a leader it’s their job to answer it proactively. Knowing that your staff feels that way, they feel that they have a meaning in going to work makes a big difference.   Giving meaning is the first job of a boss or an organization. It’s to make sure that your employees have a difference to make. Clarity. It’s to set the proper expectation towards the people working for you. Let them know what exactly they need to do and what success looks like. Have that excitement to go to work.   Structure. Knowing how we get things done. Needing the right tools to use, and how to be able to simplify it. The process and the structure and the environment are all those things we need to have those stuff because if the structure is on the way the employee won’t know how to go about the right process to follow. The boss needs to be involve to make sure that the structure is right and the support is there to master all these things.   How does a busy man turn his team to a stand out ground? There are 2 things that we got to do: You’ve got to figure out how to get people to work together. We encourage them. If there’s are things that get in the way we need to call it out. We need to have dynamics to be able to become a team. We need to have feedback. Without feedback, we don’t change. It’s because we need to be better that what we were yesterday. Every system doesn’t like changes like in biology, it’s called “homeostasis”. How do we get beyond this, and the answer is you need to ask questions for yourselves. Teach your team to ask each other and ask their boss. Let them acknowledge the fact that all did a good job. This is amazing because everyone becomes part of the team and everyone learns how to do good work. Knows how to ask themselves on what they need to refocus, so they can succeed on their goals. It’s becoming better and better every day. Interactions should show positively as well. The willingness to grow is what will make a successful team. A good leader sets expectation and this is what excellence looks like but still acknowledge your hard work. Because this is still part of good team work and this is what being a leader that you would like to follow.  Don’t wait for an annual review to get better. Have that small conversation to get that positive change.   You may visit this website for more details about Jeffrey Davidson: www.greatteamsltd.com You may book him for next event: 972.965.1830     There are so many ways to do almost free marketing you just have to think about it or you could just go to the web site and pick up the free download.     4 Hot Marketing Strategies That Can Flood Your Business with Customers   If you have a story to tell and would like to be a guest on this podcast email my assistant Shell at Shell@contractorssecretweapon.com   and she will send you our guest sheet.       Our sponsors   Would you like your phone to ring more with qualified buyers people looking to buy now? Then let’s make that happen.

On today’s episode of Just the Tips, Dean and I welcome Jeffrey Davidson, a man who has really become a leader in the leadership space. One of the greatest fears of entrepreneurs and small business owners, spoken or unspoken, is adding to a team (or even creating a team to being with). Whether you’ve led a team for a long time or you’re coming to it brand new, leadership is so much more difficult than all of the books and videos would have you believe. If any of this sounds familiar to you, you’re going to want to tune into this episode, where Jeffrey dispenses invaluable advice. Becoming a bad boss, by being afraid of becoming a bad boss Jeffrey told us about how he’d studied leadership in high school and college and early in his career, but as is so often the case, he found it very difficult to take what he’d read about and apply it in real-life situations. When he was in his early 30s, he was promoted to be in charge of a large sales team. And he told us about how he hid in his giant office with his Palm Pilot, because he didn’t know what to tell everyone. As he said, he knew bad bosses could micromanage or treat people badly or behave in any number of ways that would upend the team. So he knew how to not be a bad boss, but had no idea how to be a good boss. Being a leader doesn’t mean having all of the answers After that, Jeffrey landed on consulting as a way to avoid being a boss again. But eventually a former colleague asked him to come on and help hire and train some analysts. And as Jeffrey stuck around longer and longer, he was eventually brought onto the team. And as he told us, one of the light bulbs that went off that really helped him become a better leader was to start caring about the people. Once he started genuinely opening the floor to other people’s ideas, and learning what they like and how they want to grow, he began to foster a real team at the company. Sometimes, as a boss, you feel like you need to have all the answers. But in reality it’s about fostering a culture where other people are able to provide the answers you need. There’s lots of wisdom that Jeffrey shares in this week’s episode of Just the Tips. True leadership avoids “corporate propaganda” I had to ask Jeffrey how you get people to buy in, and feel like what they’re doing is contributing to something larger. And he threw out a really fascinating phrase: corporate propaganda. As Jeffrey says, he cringes when he goes into an office and he sees writing on a whiteboard, or hears a manager say something like, “We’re going to have best-in-class service,” etc. He says that it becomes more about sloganeering than actually pinpointing the service you’re providing or the problem you’re trying to solve. He pointed to one company whose mission or motto was that they wanted everyone on the team to feel like they were a part of a family. And while that may not be customer-focused, Jeffrey says that sort of sentiment as a north star can go a long way. True leaders have a plan One of the trickiest things about leadership is really assessing whether it’s functioning properly and if not, where the breakdown is. Jeffrey walked us through his approach to determining what’s happening with leadership, and his first question is: “Do you have a plan?” And that one question can identify a whole host of problems: The plans are vague, people don’t know what the goal is, there’s no common definition of success, etc. If there’s one person who knows how to treat a problem in leadership, it’s Jeffrey. And if you’re new to leadership or you find it’s harder than you imagined, you’re going to want to hear this episode of Just the Tips.
