Although an essential part of our project-driven world, most project leaders didn't set out to be one. For many of us, our first steps into project leadership won't come with an official title. So, if we are not ‘officially' project managers, how are we supposed to lead the project?  There are a lot of answers to this question, but one approach all project leaders need to master is the art of managing with informal authority. Without being people's ‘boss,' we need to pull a team of seemingly random people, give them common purpose, build a team and help them successfully deliver a project.  But, seriously, what really is ‘informal authority?' What's involved and how can I master this mystical art? To help us understand this superpower, we are joined on this episode by Kory Kogon, author of the book, “Project Management for the Unofficial Project Manager.” Kory takes us through the 5 pillars of informal authority which include:  Demonstrate respect Listen first Clarify expectations Extend trust Practice accountability About our amazing guest, Kory Kogon Kory is FranklinCovey's Vice President, Content Development, and a Senior Leadership Consultant.

How do you add value to someone who is in the industry with far more experience and tenure?Mariel Tablan is one of the greatest voices in the Philippines around leadership. She's a top leader in “Malasakit”, a Filipino word that means "empathy", and is the founder of Igniting Transformation Life Coaching Services. She has a rich background in developing leadership academies as well as in leading Learning and Development within organizations. In this episode, Mariel emphasizes the role of coaching in igniting transformation in individuals. Coaching holds space for the individual to verbalize his thoughts and encourages him to explore what is not being said. And while coaching creates an opportunity for the individual to take full accountability of his shift in mindset, there is also a place and time for taking on authoritarian leadership when creating clarity around the vision and aligning strategies with the company's direction.Listen to this episode to know when best to wear your coaching, mentoring, or consulting hat in leading high-performance teams. References:The 5 Choices: The Path to Extraordinary Productivity by Kory Kogon, Adam Merrill, Leena Rinne Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariel-tablan/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mariel.chuacucotablanInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachmarieltablan/Youtube:  https://www.youtube.com/@ignitingtransformationwith7902Soaring to New Health: The Glass is Half HealthySDOH: why they are important and how they can play a role in more efficient careListen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showJoin us in our mission at The Leadership Project and learn more about our organization here. https://linktr.ee/mickspiersYou can purchase a copy of the Mick Spiers bestselling book "You're a Leader, Now What?" as an eBook or paperback at Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09ZBKK8XV

WENDY GROUNDS:  Welcome to Manage This, the podcast by project managers for project managers.  I'm Wendy Grounds, and joining me in the studio is Bill Yates.  Welcome, Bill. BILL YATES:  Good to be in here with you. Meet Kory WENDY GROUNDS:  Today we are talking to Kory Kogon.  Kory has over 25 years of business expertise.  She is FranklinCovey's Vice President of Global Sales Enablement.  Kory has been featured on Inc.com and in its Productivity Playbook online series, on FastCompany.com, Forbes.com, and in Investor's Business Daily.  She has also appeared on NBC's Today with Hoda Kotb.  And we're very privileged to have Kory with us today. BILL YATES:  Yes, we are.  And I'm so excited to talk with her about her book.  She's a co-author of the #4 Wall Street Journal Bestseller, “The 5 Choices:  The Path to Extraordinary Productivity.”  She also wrote “Project Management Essentials for the Unofficial Project Manager” – we may have to have another conversation with her about that – and “The Presentation Advantage.”  This book at that we're going to focus on, “The 5 Choices:  The Path to Extraordinary Productivity,” is so full of great advice.  And you know, one of the things I appreciate is she's going to talk about the science behind some of this, too. WENDY GROUNDS:  Yes.  Sometimes we struggle to get everything done that we need to do in a day.  And she's just going to give us advice on how to choose what we need to do and what's important.  And I think it's going to be a great conversation.  Kory, welcome to Manage This.  Thank you so much for being our guest. KORY KOGON:  Well, thanks for having me.  I'm excited to be here with you. WENDY GROUNDS:  Yeah, we're looking forward to getting a little deeper into this book that you've written.  But what we like to find out from authors is why did you write the book? KORY KOGON:  Well, you know, I am part of FranklinCovey, who is very well known, like, oh, “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” and within that “First Things First” and our whole background around principle-based time management, life management.  Over the years we've iterated based on pointing those principles at the relevancy of particularly the workplace.  And so a few years ago we again updated our work around those principles in relevancy.  And it was just an honor to be able to, with my colleagues, really take this work into the 21st Century – when people are busier than ever before, and a little crazed – and, under the conditions pre-pandemic, able to really help people accomplish the most important things in their life. Extraordinary Productivity BILL YATES:  There are so many principles that we're going to get into that are in the book that resonate with me and,

In this episode, Mitch Santala talks to Executive Scheduling Associates' client, Brett – a 25-year veteran of the life insurance industry – about how he adapted and lead his team through the 2020 pandemic and into today. After an introduction by host Gil Moegerle, Mitch talks about his take on leading through change – and that not everyone is successful at it. He continues, talking about The Whole Enchilada spirit that defines entrepreneurs, whether their occupation fits the traditional definition or not. Mitch also makes a Chuck Norris claim about how the martial arts master handles shifting trends and variations. Erin Pruetz asks Brett about how his business changed during the pandemic and how it also stayed the same. Brett's answers about new types of communications and the challenges of virtual meetings lead Mitch to talk about his philosophy of forced change and what it can do to strong leaders and entrepreneurial spirits. He discusses adaptation, the pain of staying the same, and how innovation can quickly become tradition. Mitch also shares a personal story about his experience in a Class 4 white water rafting adventure and the invaluable leadership lessons that came from two pieces of advice from the guide. Brett weighs in on his best practices for managing time with clients and Mitch expands on it, advising that productivity may actually mean the opposite of what we've always assumed it means. As always, we asked our signature question, inviting Brett to whisk us away to the best Mexican food he's ever had. Brett doesn't hesitate to mention Chuy's, a restaurant chain in the American South and Southwest, where he urges us to indulge in the Chicka-Chicka Boom-Boom platter - chicken enchiladas smothered in a creamy pepper sauce.
