On Episode 49 of the Impact Makers Podcast, I’m speaking with someone that I admire and respect, and whom I’ve learned a great deal from over the past 10 years through his podcast, his books, and also by sometimes sharing stages with him speaking at conferences and events around the world. Todd Henry positions himself as an “arms dealer for the creative revolution”, and he teaches leaders and organizations how to establish practices that lead to everyday brilliance. He’s the author of five books (The Accidental Creative, Die Empty, Louder Than Words, Herding Tigers, and the latest - The Motivation Code), and he speaks and consults across dozens of industries on creativity, leadership, and passion for work. Todd is also the host of The Accidental Creative podcast, where he offers weekly tips for how to stay prolific, brilliant, and healthy, and it’s been downloaded over 10 million times. When I saw that he was releasing his latest book - his fifth - in early October, I immediately bought a copy to keep my streak going of having read all of his books, and I also reached out to ask if he would join me on the podcast to share more about it with you. I was thrilled when he said yes right away, and I think you’ll enjoy learning more about his books, as well as how you can do the best work of your life.   Topics Discussed In This Episode:​​ How starting a podcast in 2005 as a fun side project and creative outlet led unexpectedly to a book deal with a major publisher, and invitations to speak at events all over the world. Why persistence is the key to success at work and in life. What a 5-time published author who hates the writing process loves about writing books. How to structure your life in a way that you’re going to produce great work. How to avoid the seven forces that disrupt your ability to produce work you can be proud of. The five key elements needed when putting your work into the world to ensure it will resonate with people. The leadership framework necessary to lead highly creative people, and to provide the stability and challenge they need to thrive. How identifying your core motivators can help you understand what drives you, and also how you can mitigate any of their negative effects.   People & Resources Mentioned In This episode: Todd Henry Todd Henry LinkedIn Todd Henry Twitter Todd Henry Facebook The Accidental Creative podcast The Motivation Code / The Motivation Code Assessment The Motivation Code: Discover the Hidden Forces That Drive Your Best Work by Todd Henry, Rod Penner, Todd W.

John interviews Todd Henry, author of Herding Tigers: Be the Leader That Creative People Need, about how to get the most out of the creative teams you manage.

The most fulfilled innovators and influencers who lead lives of mastery and meaning—at some point get cracked open by wonder, get cracked open to a purpose greater than themselves. Today, Jeffrey reflects on Season 1 of Tracking Wonder, looking back at his conversations with leaders, change-makers, artists and creatives to identify the wonder switch in each of their stories, those moments when they were opened up to a greater-than-you purpose that drives the work they do today. Jeffrey begins with Susan Piver’s experience of being cracked open in love after a serious car accident by way of a surprising connection with another person. He reminds us of Caroline Adams Miller’s inspiration—people with the grit to do extraordinary things in their ordinary lives. Jeffrey speaks to the challenge of ‘standing in love’ with your big idea, revisiting Jonathan Fields and Dorie Clarke’s discussion around the need for authentic community. He also covers the concept of conscious leadership, reflecting on Mike Erwin and Todd Henry’s respective takes on sourcing bravery from within and leading with a mindset of service. Listen in as Jeffrey highlights Marty Neumeier’s theory on doing the ‘right thing’ that leads us to beauty, cohesiveness and order and learn why wonder is the key to unlocking our compassion—and ultimately making decisions with an eye to the future. Key Takeaways [7:50] Susan Piver’s experience being cracked open in love Boyfriend served as lifeline after serious car accident ‘Surprised to have someone reach through haze—and reach back’ [11:50] The kind of grit that inspires Caroline Adams Miller Uplifted by people doing extraordinary things in ordinary lives Awed by those who do what’s necessary without fuss, fanfare [15:48] The challenge of ‘standing in love’ with your big idea Requires deep drive to survive challenges Impact assumes different forms [18:36] Why the world needs brands to build authentic community Sense of belonging impacts cognitive ability, health Movements bring people together around shared set of values [23:30] The concept of conscious leadership Bravery comes from within Lead with mindset of service, elevate people around you [27:06] Why we have an ethical responsibility to lead with our ideals Short-term, selfish good vs. long-term, broadly beneficial good Make choices that further human evolution to beauty, coherence and order [38:30] The role of wonder in evoking empathy and compassion for others Need each other’s perspectives to open heart Look beyond cubicle-sized view to impact on future Resources The Heart of Altruism by Kristen Monroe ‘Blessing the Boats’ by Lucille Clifton The Art of Loving by Erich Fromm Getting Grit: The Evidence-Based Approach to Cultivating Passion, Perseverance, and Purpose by Caroline Adams Miller Stand Out: How to Find Your Breakthrough Idea and Build a Following Around It by Dorie Clark Good Life Project The Positivity Project Accidental Creative Herding Tigers: Be the Leader That Creative People Need by Todd Henry Liquid Agency Upheavals of Thought: The Intelligence of Emotions by Martha C.

Perhaps the most challenging aspect of leading creatives is relinquishing control. Creative professionals have success when they are in control, perfecting their craft to make great work. Yet, the best leaders are the ones who are humble enough to realize that their team members need the freedom and autonomy to take risks and grow. The trick is to lead with influence, to elevate everybody else’s game and inspire your team to do the best work of their lives. But how exactly do you do that? How do you transition from a mindset of control to one of influence? Today, Jeffrey sits down with Todd Henry, the founder of Accidental Creative and self-described ‘arms dealer for the creative revolution.’ Todd is an acclaimed author, international speaker and respected consultant in the realm of creativity, productivity and passion for work.  Todd shares his experience as a ‘free-range kid’ growing up in a rural area as well as the health crisis that sparked his creative journey in music—and how those events shape his work today. He speaks to the idea of leading with influence rather than control and the reason why so many creatives resist leadership roles. Listen in for Todd’s insight around the leader’s aim to do the right thing—even when it’s difficult—and learn how you are a leader by virtue of putting creative work into the world. Key Takeaways [4:01] Todd’s young genius ‘Free-range kid’ growing up in rural area Exploratory play (i.e.: make movies in the woods) [9:24] Todd’s transformation through music Shy kid as high school sophomore Infection led to two-month hospitalization Wrote first song, performed in talent show Pursued music through and after college Learned tactics to capture audience attention [15:17] Mortality as a source of inspiration Difficult moments shake out of comfort zone Must embrace change as nature of life [17:38] How Todd become an intentional leader Creative director for nonprofit in mid-20’s Humbling challenge to lead people to best work [20:31] The structure of Todd’s current team Built on foundation of freedom as core value Sales pipeline, literary agent to represent work Partnerships for projects (i.e.: Herding Tigers Workshops) [23:13] Why creatives resist positions of leadership Tension between need to be liked vs. effective Can BE both, but can’t CHASE both [28:27] How to lead with influence rather than control Leading with control compromises work Equip others to make own decisions Challenge team, give permission to fail [34:31] The motivational archetypes Builder, fixer and optimizer Do best work when wired for task [39:49] Todd’s insight around leading remote teams Stop talking and start listening Find out how team feels via process questions [43:35] Todd’s view of the global leadership crisis Leadership = doing the right thing without credit Must be willing to make tremendous sacrifices Requires mindset of service, aim to elevate team [48:00] Todd’s take on accidental leadership Cannot separate leadership from contribution Creative work influences thoughts, actions [51:13] What Todd is pursuing now ‘Make things I love for people who love them’ Connect with Todd Todd’s Website Accidental Creative The Accidental Creative Podcast Accidental Creative on Facebook Accidental Creative on Twitter Resources Herding Tigers: Be the Leader That Creative People Need by Todd Henry The Herding Tigers Creative Leader Course The Accidental Creative: How to Be Brilliant at a Moment’s Notice by Todd Henry Wiser Partners The Coaching Habit: Say Less, Ask More & Change the Way You Lead Forever by Michael Bungay Stanier World Economic Forum Leadership Report

One of the biggest steps we have to take as creatives is working for ourselves, and starting our own business. This can come with its own set of challenges, but it's nothing to be afraid of. You may think of yourself as a solo worker, but the moment you start working for yourself or step up to a higher position you become a leader. Even if your team is remote, and you have Virtual Assistants or freelancers you're still a leader. As they say, with great power comes great responsibility. Working with creatives below you means you have to respect them the way you like to be respected. Your team needs clear boundaries, and most importantly they need your trust. They need you to trust that they know the process it takes to get things done. Being a leader doesn't mean taking the helm and controlling the ship. It means finding the right people to help you, and nurturing them along the way. Show them why things work, as opposed to just what works. On this episode of Creative Warriors, I am joined once again by Todd Henry. I can't get enough of him, this is his third time and I hope to have him on a fourth. If you missed his previous episodes, Todd writes books, speaks internationally on creativity, leadership, productivity, and passion for work, and helps people and teams generate brilliant ideas. In short, he's an arms dealer for the creative revolution. His latest book is Herding Tigers: Be the Leader That Creative People Need.

WARRIOR OF LOVE AND WISDOM   “Move from a mindset of control to a mindset of influence.” -Todd Henry  My book, LINGO: Discover Your Ideal Customer's Secret Language and Make Your Business Irresistible is now available for pre-order. Highlights - Middle management jobs are going away, and people are becoming more creative. A lot of people are thrown into leadership roles they aren't ready  for. Make sure you are clear on team expectations. The creative process needs a unique type of leadership that differs from traditional industries. Move from a mindset of control to a mindset of influence. Creative people need bounded autonomy. Hire the right person, then leave them alone. Your core message has to point to the “big steak”. Love is a very active, aggressive thing.
