Recently, I was speaking with an owner who was opening a second location.Despite this being an exciting time for her school, she was drowning in shame.“Chanie, I keep starting and stopping, starting and stopping,” she told me.I asked her what she meant.She told me she felt ashamed that she couldn't be consistent with her decisions. “I keep creating policies, implementing them, then getting pushback, and changing the policy again. I feel like I'm always backing out of my commitments.”First of all, there's wisdom in flexibility, and sometimes updating a policy is the right step.But in this owner's case, she needed to build her self-trust so she could banish the shame.And she was taking the perfect next step by exposing her difficult emotions in a conversation with me.Shame thrives in the dark, but it withers in the light.When you share your shame with a trusted mentor or community, it doesn't seem so insurmountable anymore.

As a leader, you're responsible for a lot of people.But what does that responsibility really mean?Is it about taking on the problems of your team and staff? Or is it about helping them become the best professionals and individuals they can be? You see something I often see when working with owners and directors is their tendency to take responsibility for issues that don't belong to them.They see a teacher struggling to manage their classroom or come to school on time, and their first reaction is to step in.Why? Because seeing people in discomfort is uncomfortable, and we think that by taking on their pain, we're helping them in the best way possible.But the truth is that when you intervene, you're actually taking away from their human experience and eliminating the opportunity for them to learn and grow.The best thing you can do as a leader is learn to sit with the discomfort of watching others struggle, so you can support them to make their own decisions.How? That's what I'm discussing on this week's podcast episode. Join me as I sit down with author, speaker, podcast host, and leadership coach Heather Chauvin for an enlightening conversation about emotional discomfort and how changing your perspective on it can help you become a stronger leader.We'll be talking about:What Heather's learned from her journey through motherhood & cancer treatmentCompassion fatigue and how it impacts leadersWhat practices you can use to learn to sit with discomfortHow to help your team & staff learn to manage their own emotionsPractical tips to help you take action toward developing stronger leadershipLearn more and apply for the Director's Inner Circle & Owner's HQ: http://Chanie.me/jointhedic If you'd like to learn more about Heather and her journey, you can check out:Emotionally Uncomfortable Podcast: https://heatherchauvin.com/podcastTEDx talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/heather_chauvin_dying_to_be_a_good_mother/detailsDying to be a Good Mother book: https://heatherchauvin.com/book-orderFree resources from Heather: http://heatherchauvin.com/freegiftsYou can also attend our on-demand Delegate to Elevate Workshop to learn how to set healthier boundaries around your time.

SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode of the Revenue Builders podcast, our hosts John McMahon and John Kaplan talk to Sprinklr's Chief Revenue Officer Luca Lazzaron. Luca, who has held several sales leadership and general manager positions in multiple software organizations over the past 20 years, offers golden lessons in hiring exceptional talent, credible leadership, and effective revenue forecasting. As Sprinklr's Chief Revenue Officer, Luca talks about the most challenging aspects of transitioning from a private to a public company, and the difference between having a committed versus a compliant team. Additional Resources:Donate to Istituto Serafico Di Assisi: https://www.serafico.org/come-sostenerci/?lang=enConnect with Luca on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/luca-lazzaron/5 Traits of Successful Leaders: https://forc.mx/3BrMkHhListen to More Revenue Builders: https://forc.mx/3bfW5OdHIGHLIGHTSThe science and art of hiring salespeopleHow managers can be more credible leadersWhat it's like to be CRO running a public companyHow to do effective revenue forecastingLeaders need to have a disproportionate passion for coachingBeing committed vs. Being compliantAlways go back to your 'Why' Sprinklr: the easiest way to know what's on your customer's mind GUEST BIOLuca Lazzaron is the Chief Revenue Officer of Sprinklr, the only Unified-CXM platform purpose-built for enterprises, empowering the world's biggest companies to be human@scale across 30+ messaging, live chat, email and voice channels — and leveraging the industry's most sophisticated AI engine to bring Care, Research, Sales & Engagement, and Marketing & Advertising together like never before.Luca has held sales leadership and general manager positions in multiple software organizations over the last 20 years.

You have to know what you are talking about in detail. Because otherwise, there's no way you can inspire the people and coach them on a daily basis on what their job is about and how to do it better."Luca on what it takes to be a CRO of a public company: "Having the entire company able to actually make the customer happy and deliver value to the customer is the first thing. Because you can do all this new business that you want but if from the bucket you're going to continue to lose revenue, there's no way you can run a public company."Luca on the difference between commitment and compliance: "People tend to be compliant when you tell them what to do, and you do not explain why and what difference it can make for them. People are committed when they buy into something and it becomes their own stuff." Check out John McMahon's book here: https://www.amazon.com/Qualified-Sales-Leader-Proven-Lessons/dp/0578895064

Your success as a leader depends not only on the quality of your work. Whether you want to get a promotion or influence stakeholders to support your next big investment project, you need to make sure that you and your work are perceived in the desired way. Success is a function of performance and perception.Managing perception does not mean you need to put on a show or try to be someone else. On the contrary: the best leaders can put themselves into other people's shoes and cater to their needs while remaining authentic.Key Aspects with Time StampsYour impact as a leader, your ability to influence and to be successful, depends on how other people perceive you. Therefore, you need to spend time and effort to manage other people's perceptions actively, be that as an individual or a team of leaders.[01:20] How we see ourselves can be quite different from how other people see us.  A leader may see him-/herself  as very spontaneous and the ability to adjust course quickly as a strength. However, their team members might find their frequent direction changes  frustrating. Or what one considers as providing candid feedback may be perceived as destructive criticism. [04:56] Success is a function of performance and perception. Delivering quality work is a necessity, but it is not sufficient. To be successful, others need to know about and recognise the quality of your work.Tony's story: Tony (not his real name) was a director in a large multinational corporation. He became Gerrit's executive coaching client after he applied in vain for a General Manager position. Tony was well-respected and known for “getting the job done.” However, the decision-makers in the organization doubted that Tony had the big picture view they felt was mission-critical for the higher-level role.Once Tony knew how these stakeholders perceived him, he focused on better understanding their needs and adjusting his communication style accordingly. Ultimately, Tony successfully demonstrated his ability to see the big picture and was soon appointed GM in another country.Managing perception is not only critical for career advancement. It is also crucial to influence stakeholders, e.g., to get the buy-in for your next big investment project.[11:47] In a consulting project, we helped a leadership team realise their long-term growth strategy for their company. They needed a major investment to increase manufacturing capacity. They understood that, besides the technical aspects of such a mega project, they needed the buy-in from various stakeholders: their local employees, authorities, communities, and, of course, from the management board at headquarters. They had to understand the varying needs of these different stakeholders. They needed them to trust that this team has what it takes to make the project successful from the various points of view: technically, safety-, and business-wise.The local leadership team set up dedicated teams to deal with the different stakeholders to understand their needs and to manage perception — making sure the stakeholders see how their needs will be met through this project, and that the team handling the project was seen as competent. A year later, the Managing Director commented that he had never dreamed they would come that far in such a short time.[21:30] Reflection Questions for LeadersWhat do I want to achieve? (e.g., promotion, get buy-in for a project)Who are actually the key stakeholders or decision-makers in this case, and what matters to them?Is there a gap between how I see things (myself, my results, my business plan) and how my key stakeholders perceive them?If so, how can I change their perception and close this gap?More info: secondcrackleadership.com

Decision making is a cornerstone of leadership. Decisions are why leaders exist... decisions day in day out. To be an effective leader, your decision-making skills must be top-tier. Decisions, however, are tied to your mind and how you think.

Vision: What a Spiritual Leader needs to have! This is a leadership from March 2018. Three questions Steve leaves us with1) Team Leaders: What is the vision for our school? Is it portable?2) Leaders: What is my vision for our high school friends?3) New Leader: What do you hope the ministry to look like your senior year?

Episode 216: Jim Collins – How To Go From Good To Great Show Notes: Sustained Excellence: Never go to a meeting without writing down 5 questions prior to the meeting Always follow up the meeting with at least a page of notes -- Share those with your mentor What made you say yes to The Learning Leader Show after 2 1/2 years? It requires intense focus to prepare This is a teaching moment Only say yes if it's going to be impactful. The team determined this show was the right place to do that Always ask yourself -- "How can I make myself useful to the world?" This was advice originally given to him by Peter Drucker A great teacher can change your life in 30 seconds -- Peter Drucker did that for Jim "I am constitutionally unemployable" -- Why Jim feels this about himself His curiosity has led to the success and most importantly... Great questions like: How to turn something into an enduring great company? How someone or a company can go from Good To Great? Jim most admired Peter Drucker when he was 35 years old... The story of their first meeting and how Peter was the curious one... Kept peppering Jim with questions to start the conversation (much like Jim did to me to start this conversation) "The ultimate zen master with bamboo stick" Drucker - "It seems to me that you spend a lot of time worrying if you will survive. You probably will survive. You seem to focus a lot on the question, "how to be successful?" That is the wrong question. The right question is "How to be useful?" What would it have cost Jim to not publish Good To Great after he finished the manuscript? -- More than $100m.  He had to get it out in the world.  He felt it was his responsibility to do so... Another great mentor said to Jim... "When seeking an entrepreneurial path... Cut off all other options and GO." "Everything is driven by by questions" Can a good company become a great company? How? Level 5 Leader Starts with confronting the brutal facts Personal humility and professional will Not what, but who -- Get the right people on the bus Does not happen in one fell swoop or a leap. It happens over time. Flywheel -- Create momentum Understand the hedgehog concept -- An expert in one thing... Knows it very well 3 Parts of the Hedgehog concept Deeply passionate about it Encoded for it... You're really good at it. An expert Economically, you can make money from it Level 5 Leaders: What cause do I serve? Humility to serve... It's not about them Willful -- Able to make difficult decisions For the best Level 5 Leaders... How do they sustain it? It's easier for them because they understand their personal hedgehog -- It helps them remain renewed after many years "Measured Risk" vs. "Burn The Boats" Fire Bullets... Then Cannon Balls For Jim, this was his first two books + his time as a professor at Stanford before he decided to leave to start his own company You must navigate your path.  It doesn't mean you take unfounded risk... Fire bullets first, then cannonballs "If you never fire a cannonball, you'll never make it. "BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) How to write a good one? Take calibrated, calculated risk -- Have things to keep you alive even if everything goes wrong Productive Paranoia Validation - What are points of success you can look to? Jim's wife Joann committing to winning an Ironman race... She was a consultant at the time.  She was also a runner. She tried biking and was very good at it.  Eventually she practiced, took measured risks, and won the Ironman race "If you were a trial attorney and had to win the case, what evidence would you use?"
