Eric Guy interviews Author, Vistage Chair, and Executive Coach, John Dame. We want to know what kind of mindset you believe it takes to be a leader and how you're going to train your mind to be a better leader in the comments below.

Greetings, Summit Leaders.   Humility is a virtue that helps leaders empower others in becoming the best they can be.    Humility is essential because it enables a leader to build bridges to people, sustain teamwork, and create an environment where others can thrive and flourish.   C.S. Lewis put it this way: “Humility is not thinking less of yourself; it’s thinking of yourself less.” Early in my life and career journey, I thought of humility as a weakness instead of quality for greatness in a leader. "Humility comes before honor." and "If anyone among you wishes to be great. Let him become a servant to all." are two quotes that highlight two proven principles in leadership.   
 Through our selfless actions, we inspire others to be part of our team, produce our best work as a team, and stay engaged because they have a sense of belonging and growth.  Think of someone you know who exhibits the quality of humility in their leadership. Ask yourself, "What impact has this person made in my life and career?"   The Havard Business Organization published several articles on leadership that highlight the impact of humility in a leader. 1. "Six Principles for Developing Humility as a Leader" by John Dame and Jeffrey Gedmin 2. "How Humble Leadership Really Works" by Dan Cable 3. "Level 5 Leadership: The Triumph of Humility and Fierce Resolve" by Jim Collins. 
 Being mindful that humility is a vital virtue helps us to focus our minds on cultivating this quality in our lives. Over time, we become a leader who has expanded influence and receives honor by how they perform in addition to the results they achieve. Also, we build a hedge of protection against pride or thinking more of ourselves than we should. "Before his downfall, a man's heart is proud, but humility comes before honor." is an ancient quote that points to the value of humility. “Humility will open more doors than arrogance ever will.” Zig Ziglar A Summit Leader shared with me an update on his progress. He works hard, builds his skills, and focuses on his vision. He describes the advancement in reaching some of his career goals is like "becoming a celebrity overnight." Here are four suggestions he makes. 1. Train every day like there is no tomorrow. 2. Give it 100% 100% of the time. 3. Train with others who are seeking excellence. 4. Focus on being the best you can become. He rates his humility between 6 to 7 on a scale of 10.   He encourages me because of his focus on developing this quality.   Many Summit Leaders are focusing on the attribute of "humility." A recent cohort of 32 Summit Leaders highlighted "humility" as one of their top five characteristics. Summit Leaders are thinking, acting, and developing habits leading to greatness as leaders. "Sow a thought. Reap an action. Sow an action. Reap a habit. Sow a habit. Reap a character. Sow a character. Reap a destiny." Ralph Waldo Emerson

Business isn't just about making a buck. It's about making a difference.Previous leadership models were about command and control, using rewards and consequences to push employees into getting the job done. But that style doesn't work anymore. To attract and retain talent, companies are learning that they must bring a sense of purpose and meaning to the work they do and create an ecosystem where people feel connected and valued.John Dame leveraged his 32-year career in radio broadcasting to become an executive coach and business strategist. He has spent the last 15 years training CEOs and their executive teams in the strategic planning and leadership development space, and his current areas of focus include the role of purpose in the business environment and the transition to a millennial workforce. To address these issues, John created the Evolution Leadership Conference Series to help leaders move away from the rudimentary model of telling people what to do to Leadership 3.0—influencing people to achieve.In part two of my interview, John discusses the BS parts of his own early leadership style and how he continues to overcome ‘Bad John' through self-awareness. He gets into the details of the Evolution Conference Series, offering his take on the characteristics of a next-generation leader and his insight around working with millennials.

Ever get the feeling people are blowing smoke up your ass?Executives are rarely challenged in a way that is meaningful, surrounded as they are by yes-men. But you can't get better if you only ever hear what you want to hear.

Purpose, vision, and mission often get bantered about in board rooms as if the words held magical powers.  They don't. It's the passion and action behind those words that matter. During this podcast, my friend and colleague John Dame didn’t waste any time tackling one of the biggest concerns we hear from executives and small business owners when we ask “what is the purpose of your business.”  The reaction we get suggests we are asking some sort of trick question like who's buried in Grant's tomb? Of course the purpose of business is to make money. Isn’t it? Unfortunately for companies today that philosophy doesn’t help attract enthusiastic customers or acquire and retain talent. “Few if any employees,” John explained, “want to come to work for you to help you make money.” When studying many of the most successful and sustainable companies, the one thing they have in common is that making a lot of money is the outcome of a great vision, purpose, focus, and clarity for what the future looks like. “If you just want people to come to work to make money,” it will be more difficult to grow your business and attract and retain talent going forward. Has it always been this way? Does purpose seem to be more important today than it was just a few years ago? Are the Millennials responsible for this greater emphasis on purpose? For those answers you’ll just have to listen!
