The Mentally Strong Leader   In this episode of Richer Soul, Scott Mautz, an acclaimed author, keynote speaker, and former Procter & Gamble executive shares powerful insights from his new book, The Mentally Strong Leader, focusing on how mental strength can be the leadership superpower that helps people overcome adversity and thrive in their personal and professional lives. The conversation touches on Scott's personal journey, the six “mental muscles” every leader needs, and the science behind building effective leadership habits. Key takeaways: Mental strength is the superpower that allows leaders to navigate challenges and lead with resilience. Cultivating mental strength requires building key habits that support confidence, fortitude, boldness, and clear communication. Leadership involves balancing confidence with humility to create an environment of trust. Reframing setbacks as learning opportunities strengthens mental fortitude. Leaders need to focus on long-term success and develop mental muscles that help them perform consistently. Money Learning: Scott shared his first major money lesson when he ran a pool-cleaning business as a high school student. He quickly realized that profitability hinges on a simple but often overlooked principle: your revenue must exceed your expenses. This early lesson in financial management taught Scott the importance of understanding costs and managing a business efficiently. Interestingly, Rocky pointed out that many adult business owners still struggle with this concept, underscoring the critical need for better financial literacy, both in personal and business contexts. Bio: Scott Mautz is the founder and CEO of Profound Performance, a keynote training and coaching company. He is a former executive at Procter & Gamble, where he successfully ran four of the company's largest multi-billion-dollar businesses.

Key Discussion Points: Building Mental Strength: Scott emphasizes that mental strength is crucial for leadership, especially in today's fast-paced, high-pressure world. He introduces the concept of six “mental muscles” that leaders need to develop: fortitude, confidence, boldness, decision-making, goal-focus, and messaging. These are the pillars of mental strength, and they help leaders stay resilient in the face of adversity. Habit-Building Science: One of the key elements of Scott's approach is the idea of habit-building science. He explains how habits can shape behavior and how leaders can build mental strength by adopting practices that reinforce resilience and clear communication. For example, reframing setbacks as opportunities to learn is a habit that strengthens fortitude over time. Confidence with Humility: Scott points out the importance of balancing confidence with humility. While confidence is necessary for effective leadership, it must be tempered with a willingness to listen and adapt. This balance creates a culture of trust and respect within a team, which is essential for long-term success. Reframing Setbacks: Scott shares practical strategies for reframing setbacks, an essential habit for mental strength. Leaders often face challenges, and those who can view these moments as learning experiences rather than failures build resilience. This mindset shift is crucial for staying positive and proactive in difficult times. The Power of Messaging: Effective communication is one of the core “mental muscles” Scott talks about. He explains that leaders need to send clear, purposeful messages to their teams. This requires intentionality, precision, and consistency. The ability to convey the right message at the right time can make all the difference in motivating and leading a team. Conclusion: In this episode, Scott Mautz delivers a masterclass on the mental strength required to lead effectively in today's challenging world. His insights on habit-building science, resilience, and leadership balance provide listeners with practical tools they can apply immediately in their personal and professional lives.

What's your leadership blueprint?I'm not talking just about your values – or a description of how you operate at your best, on the best day – when everything is going according to plan. I'm talking about a roadmap of clearly defined behaviours, rituals and practices that exactly define the type of leader you want to show up as – EVERY DAY.There's an age old saying that we get the leaders we deserve. Maybe that's true and it's certainly a conversation worth exploring. But today's conversation comes at it from a different angle, that rather than getting the leaders we deserve – which is somewhat out of our control - we become the leaders we build. And like any successful building project, it starts with a carefully considered blueprint. From the bedrock of our carefully chosen intentions, to the walls of our daily non-negotiables.My guest on this week's episode literally wrote the blueprint on how to do that.Today's Guest Doug Conant is the only former Fortune 500 CEO who is a New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-selling author, a Top 50 Leadership Innovator, a Top 100 Leadership Speaker, and one of the 100 Most Influential Authors in the World. A devoted leadership practitioner and teacher, Doug's 45-year career has been defined by achieving high performance through an intentional commitment to studying, practicing, improving, and spreading the tenets of “leadership that works.” He is Founder and CEO of ConantLeadership, former President and CEO of Campbell Soup Company and former Chairman of Avon Products. His Wall Street Journal bestselling book, co-authored with Amy Federman, is called ‘The Blueprint: 6 Practical Steps to Lift Your Leadership to New Heights'. He is also the New York Times bestselling co-author of ‘TouchPoints: Creating Powerful Leadership Connections in the Smallest of Moments'. Website: conantleadership.comTwitter: @DougConantLinkedIn: @DougConantYou'll LearnThe importance of setting an anchoring intention as a leader – and why as leaders we're so often thrown in the deep end with no roadmap to follow.Doug's fundamental belief that ‘Your life story is your leadership story'. Why owning that story is the key to connection, engagement and embracing your own authenticity as a leader.If leadership is the hardest and most important job on earth, then it deserves a plan. You wouldn't build a multi-million dollar hotel without some considered thought. And yet, somehow and at all levels of society, we believe leadership should be innate. Learned the hard way. Sink or swim. Survive or die.How different would our organisations, communities, and political systems be if - before we even began the journey of leadership – we created a plan. Not about what we wanted to achieve, but instead a clear set of commitments on how we intend to show up.Imagine the cumulative effect of that? Of all those plans in action, of all that accountability and growth. Now imagine the opposite. Feels strange right?That's where we are right now. That's also an incredible opportunity to stand out.Subscribe to and Review the Inside Influence PodcastThanks for tuning into this week's episode.

For me it's what makes life so interesting.” -Doug Conant [8:29]On how to navigate imperfect jobs early in one's career. “For me it's about growth, and it's not just my growth, it's growth and contribution to others. And so I'm always looking through the lens of growing and contributing in a more substantial way.” -Doug Conant [9:22]“As a CEO, you're crazy if you think you're going to know everything. So you've got to be able to have a collection of people that know a lot about the subject matter expertise and then you've got to be incredibly fluent at orchestrating to optimize your effectiveness at calling on all those talents.” -Doug Conant [10:24]On leadership as a learnable skill: “I view leadership in a mastery model, you've got to become a craftsman at it. You apprentice, you study, you learn, and most of the time you do it by the seat of your pants, let's be honest. But I think it's imperative that you really embrace the notion of being a brilliant leader to get the most out of people.” -Doug Conant [12:43]“It's hard to have courage if you're not clear on your convictions.” -Doug Conant [26:46]“You were an overnight success 25 years in the making.” -Syd Finkelstein [30:49]On the most important aspect of leadership “I find that my effectiveness, in every situation, improves if I'm a good listener. If I'm very attentive with it. I serve people better because I better understand their situation. They appreciate that I'm earnestly trying to hear them and we move forward in a way that's a higher order of effectiveness.” -Doug Conant [52:24]Stay Connected:Syd FinkelsteinWebsite: http://thesydcast.comLinkedIn: Sydney FinkelsteinTwitter: @sydfinkelsteinFacebook: The SydcastInstagram: The SydcastDoug ConantWebsite: https://conantleadership.comLinkedIn: Douglas ConantTwitter: @DougConantYoutube: Doug ConantSubscribe to our podcast + download each episode on Stitcher, iTunes, and Spotify.

Top Tips How to become Inspired by and Passionate about Your Work Again Don't ask the wrong question about your inspiration? The things that inspire us are passive? How did I lose my inspiration in the first place? What drains your inspiration? Failure is the antithesis of inspiration. Fear engages our brain in the wrong conversation for ourselves. Only three ways to fail: Quit. Don't improve. Never try. Failure is an event, not a person. Failure doesn't happen to you…it happens for you.
