Podcasts about leaderwhy

One of the greatest paradoxes of leadership is that to lead well, you must learn to let go. To get comfortable with not having all the answers! To release your grip, relinquish control, and know that the wisdom already exists in everyone around you.Professor, coach and facilitator to the next generation of leaders, Rob Lion has spent the last 20 years fostering self-leading workplace cultures that truly listen to their people, building leaders that are facilitators at heart.Because the best leaders? They've taken off the stabilisers of delegation, left their ego at the door, and learnt the delicate dance of stepping back, to invite others to step in. Find out about:The intersection of leadership and facilitation – and what it takes to be a facilitative leaderWhy we should think with our whole bodies, rather than just listen to our gutThe complex, nuanced role of surrender and controlWhy leadership micromanagement and delegation are safety mechanismsWhy great leaders and facilitators must learn to confront their own triggersDon't miss the next episode: subscribe to the show with your favourite podcast player.Links:Watch the video recording of this episode on YouTube.Connect to Rob Lion:LinkedInWebsiteBlogShare your thoughts about our conversation!Support the show✨✨✨Subscribe to our newsletter to receive a free 1-page summary of each upcoming episode directly to your inbox, or explore our eBooks featuring 50-episode compilations for even more facilitation insights.

“What's the value-add for each and every interaction?”According to Daniel, this is a critical question every leader should ask about interactions with customers.But it doesn't just apply to customers. Leaders have four critical relationships to manage, and each one has different needs, concerns, and desired outcomes.Managing these four relationships can make leaders feel stretched in multiple directions at once. As Peter points out, a leader who is focused on addressing the boss' needs will still feel pulled toward direct reports, peers, and customers.It is possible to successfully navigate the different needs of each relationship–without being pulled apart in the process!Tune in to learn:What each relationship needs most from a leaderWhy taking the time to address peer needs and peer learning is so critical to collaborationThe biggest trap you can fall into if you don't treat each relationship uniquelyPlus, insight into why we don't remember everything, and memories about epic Koosh Ball battles.In this episode:1:29 – Insight of the Week8:36 – Memory Lane: Koosh Ball Mayhem11:50 – Topic: Four Critical Relationships Every Leader Needs to Manage32:40 – Lightning RoundResources:Stewart Leadership Insights:The Four Critical Relationships All Leaders Must Develop6 Tips for Creating Psychological Safety in the Workplace3 Human Needs to Retain Every EmployeeSix Keys to Successfully Working with Your Boss6 Ways to Become Aware of Your Leadership Blind SpotsKoosh Ball, WikipediaBrain Facts, Cleveland ClinicThe Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable, by Patrick LencioniIf you liked this episode, please share it with a friend or colleague, or, better yet, leave a review to help other listeners find our show, and remember to subscribe so you never miss an episode.

Charismatic leaders who are intent on governing solely using their charismatic authority and subverting other things to their personal power are inherently bad for democracy and inherently illiberal. They're anti-pluralist. They don't want to share their power with others even within their own movement or their own party. They don't tolerate dissent.Caitlin Andrews-LeeA full transcript is available at www.democracyparadox.com or a short review of The Emergence and Revival of Charismatic Movements: Argentine Peronism and Venezuelan Chavismo  here.Caitlin Andrews-Lee is an Assistant Professor in Ryerson University's Department of Politics and Public Administration.

Sometimes our professional lives (and our personal lives for that matter) can cause us to have a crappy attitude. But, what if I told you that thinking about poop could actually be a good mindset to have?It may seem odd, but I explain in this episode how you can be a better leader using a manure mindset.That's right setting your mind on livestock waste can actually help you lead your teams and yourself more effectively.And, I use a proverb from the Bible to make my case.If that sounds like a load of, well... manure to you, check out this week's episode. Then, let me know if you think I'm on to something or if I'm just full of... (you can fill in the blank).You'll LearnA livestock leadership lessonHow a farming lesson from Biblical times still applies to leaders todayA 3-step process to develop a "manure mindset" that will make you a more effective leaderWhy identifying the resources that generate revenue and the challenges they bring is critical to be a successful leaderOne common resume' mistake many job seekers make and how to avoid it3 Fundamental Career Skills Related to Today's Episode1. Identifying critical resourcesLeaders must be keenly aware of the resources they and their teams need to deliver results. Whether it's people, software, equipment, or something else, we must identify and protect the things we rely on to be successful.2. Acknowledging the challenges associated with critical resourcesThe critical resources we depend upon bring challenges and costs along with their benefits. Effective leaders acknowledge this reality and are ready to address difficult circumstances. Good leaders aren't surprised by messy people and malfunctioning tools and equipment.3. Choosing what is valuableLeaders and teams must continually make choices. The skill of being able to choose what you value begins with knowing what is valuable to you and your organization.Some decisions produce short-term benefits and avoid pain and discomfort. But, the long-term impact negatively impacts the organization.Other choices bring challenges and messy situations to manage but generate results that have a lasting positive effect on people and the business.Links and Resources from this EpisodePrevious blog post with similar, written content, How A Manure Mindset Can Make You A Better LeaderWhere there are no oxen, the manger is clean; But much revenue comes by the strength of the ox.Proverbs 14:4 in the Bible (New American Standard translation)For More InformationCheck out the show notes at GregHarrod.com.

Delivering results is an absolute requirement to be a successful leader of a successful team. Even if your team members love you and everyone wants to be on the teams you lead, you still have to get things done. So, how does that fit in with being a kind leader?That's what we talk about in this episode of Connect Mobilize Deliver.In part one of this two-part series (click here to listen), I explained why I use a framework of Connect Mobilize Deliver when leading teams. I also talked about connecting your team and gave some super simple techniques you can use to connect your teammates and help them fight the loneliness we all face at times.In part two I focus on mobilizing teams for action and leading them to deliver the results your organization needs. And, I explain how you can be both kind and respected as a leader of teams who get things done.We'll also cover the mindset you need to mobilize your teams to deliver results even when they encounter difficult challenges.Check out the links below for more of my posts with related content and valuable insight from other experts like Shane Parrish and Patrick Lencioni.You'll LearnWhat is often overlooked by leaders in preparing to lead teamsHow to be an exceptional leader by preparing for adversity and difficultyThe proper mindset you need to be a successful leaderWhy acknowledging and communicating hard truths to your team early is so importantHow to deal with and overcome insecurity as a leaderHow to give your team an advantage over the competition in any situationHow to be kind even when you're facing adversity and still deliver resultsWhy leaders must deliver results to keep the position they have to positively influence othersHow to avoid being a mediocre leader of a mediocre team3 Fundamental Career Skills Related to Today's Episode1. Expecting resistanceWhen our minds expect resistance, we are less likely to be surprised when we and our teams encounter inevitable barriers. Preparing for resistance protects us against our own insecurities which can attack when things get difficult.2. Communicating hard truths earlyHelping your team be aware of and prepare for the reality of the challenges they are facing is critical. Sharing hard truths early will give you and your team an advantage over your competition and bring success.3. Preparing for actionLeaders and teams must be ready to act. Our minds must be prepared for action. We need to continually fight against our tendency to succumb to the inertia of doing nothing or continuing to do what we've always done.

Every leader wants to know how to deliver results. Sometimes, it can be as easy as asking one simple question.In this solo episode, I share how I, and many others, have had success leading teams using the question, "Who needs to do what by when?" It's not complex or hard to ask this question. But, sometimes we forget the most basic solutions to helping our teams deliver results. Well, I do anyway.And, that may be the case for you too.If it is, check out this episode where I not only explain the power behind this simple question. I also open up about why I sometimes avoid doing what I know should do: asking who needs to do what by when.You'll LearnHow to deliver results by asking "Who needs to do what by when?"Strategies for leading effective meetings and team discussions using this questionThe obstacles I, and maybe you, need to avoid when leading a team with this techniqueThe importance of being a vulnerable and authentic leaderWhy things get done when specific action items are assigned to specific owners with clear deadlinesThe benefit of having conversations and dialogue when leading people and projectsHow to be aware of and avoid the traps our ego sets for us when we're leading teams3 Fundamental Career Skills Related to Today's Episode1. Being clear and specificAsking the question, "Who needs to do what by when?" requires a leader and a team to get clear and specific. A thoughtful answer that will produce results takes an investment of mental energy and focus.The act of asking this question will help you and others clarify the resources required to be successful and secure the commitment of the team and organization.2. Being vulnerableBeing vulnerable to admit you aren't perfect as a leader and are susceptible to the dangers of following your ego and pride isn't a sign of weakness. It's an indicator of strength.Admitting to your team that you are a flawed human being will earn the respect of the people you are leading. Because they too are imperfect humans.3. Trusting your teamVulnerability is made possible by trust. As you learn to trust the people on your team, you will find it easier to be more authentic and real with them.And, you will also find it easier to share responsibilities and tasks with them. As you do that, they will be given increased opportunities to grow and develop as leaders and you can focus on tasks that only you can do.For More InformationCheck out the full show notes at GregHarrod.com.

The power of diversity of mentality with Hind FaragIn this Leaders in Conversation episode Anni talks to the amazing Hind Farag, a US-based Executive Coach and Strategy Consultant who is passionate about empowering senior leaders as well as underprivileged communities.As a Muslim woman born in Egypt and raised in Sudan before having lived in the UK, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and now in Houston, Texas, Hind has been shaped by the different cultures and communities that she has encountered along the way.“I was around students from all over the world, different cultures, different races, different religions. And I had to prove myself every time as a human being, that definitely had a lot to do with who I became today,” she reveals. However, through her own leadership journey, Hind realises that the impression and the impact she makes on people is not because of or limited to her religion or appearance, which to an extent has set her apart in European and US settings. Instead, she recognises how she learned to show up and present herself as a confident and capable woman leader.The encouragement of her father and family has played a key part in that development and recognition of self-value. However, Hind also reveals how other role models and leaders have helped to shape her as a leadership consultant. She talks about how “meeting Anni in Scotland was a pivotal moment in my life and career” which led to Hind “making a much larger impact across many, many larger communities.” Listen to the full episode to discover Hind's journey and learn:How growing up in a community-led environment, particularly one that did not focus on individual gains, helped her to be a compassionate leader The inspiration and motivation behind Hind's work in leadership developmentThe importance of of enabling and empowering people on both their individual and collective paths to help unlock a better future for everyoneWhy great leadership is about vision and intent and not about titles and accolades Breaking free from convention to be true to yourself and a truly powerful leaderWhy you should be ready to fail but not held back from the fear of failureHow ‘diversity of mentality' makes leaders and organisations strongerFinally, Hind talks about her charity work. She co-founded the first non-profit organisation to support the refugee community in Houston. In collaboration with her son and a friend, she has also recently launched Gaps, a charity supporting underprivileged communities in Sudan and also Houston. The name Gaps came from the intention to find gaps in empowering the underprivileged, that were not being fulfilled by larger organisations or governments. Discover more and connect with HindYou can find out more on the website https://transformcnc.com or via Hind's LinkedIn page.  Gaps Charity is currently on Facebook www.facebook.com/gapscharity

“The human side of your team and business can sometimes be the hardest to manage.”— Shelagh CumminsLaura Tolhoek grew up in a family that owned a small business, so from an early age she was familiar with the tenacity, resilience, and hard work that go into growing a livelihood. After going to school for HR, she worked for large companies in hospitality and food service.She desired a healthier work-life balance and requested that her role be made part-time — a request that her then-employer balked at.She looked at different part-time opportunities, but realized that she was already doing a lot of unpaid consulting work.So, she decided to strike out on her own.Laura realized that many small businesses can’t afford or don’t need a full-time HR person on their payroll, but could still benefit from having someone they can turn to for HR support.She started her own agency offering flexible and customized outsourced HR options.It wasn’t an instant success.When she first launched her business, it took some time to generate revenue.

One day, she decided that she wasn't going to live life this way anymore.When Tracy was in rehab, her therapist introduced her the Enneagram, and it changed her life. After she understood the core motive behind all of her actions — to be in control of her life and protect herself from harm — everything made sense. Through her journey of self-realization and recovery, Tracy is no longer a victim but a leader who helps others understand their personality through the Enneagram so that they too can be empowered in who they are! I am so excited for Tracy to share her wisdom with you, so let's dive in!_____________________________________________________________________________________In This Episode You Will Learn...How the Enneagram brings a deep level of awareness which leads to changeWhy the Enneagram is different from other personality testsHow the Enneagram can equip you to become a better, stronger leaderWhy your learning your "Type" helps you understand yourself and other peopleThe importance of understanding that other Types respond differently to certain situations than you doHow knowing your Enneagram can empower you to be a better parent Why network marketers should use the EnneagramHow to discover your type and start your Enneagram journey_____________________________________________________________________________________Get Into Stacy's Vortex: Instagram | LinkedIn | CoachingBe Boldly Courageous with Melissa:Instagram | Community

Filling your pipeline in worship ministry from kids to young adults to build your big church I sat down with my friend Jason Stewart from the KBC (Kentucky Baptist Convention). He is the Worship Ministry Consultant for the state of Kentucky. Jason knows how to grow teams and Inspire musician In worship ministry. He has been doing It for over 11 years with 2,400+ churches across the beautiful state of Kentucky. Jason gives rare and wise insight.... "It all starts with the kids choir!" This may sound funny when you are trying to build a worship team or grow to a 60 member big church choir, but it is a smart and proactive approach to worship music training that will cause a church to grow and thrive with new and inspired musicians. In business we'd call It "keeping your pipeline full" Some of the points we discuss In this episode Include: Your next worship leader is in your congregation right nowCraigslist ads may not be the best place to find a worship leaderWhy gigging isn’t great for building a worship ministry Identify those in your church that want to use their gifts and give them an opportunity to spread their wings and play for worship in a safe place It is a process of training and mentoring and taking time to pour into young aspiring musicians Start small with youth and spend time helping develop their talents How to get back to recruiting and building team and leaders in the worship ministry Where to start when the goal Is to build a big choir or band.Identify people in your congregation Learn more about how to start training musicians In your church at http://www.worhsipbandbuilder.com Connect with Jason at the KBC web site:http://kbc.staging.communityq.com/stories/jason-stewart,2311/p/stories/our-staff,1037Support the show (https://worshiptheking.com/partner/)

Greetings everyone, my name is Julie Masters and welcome to another episode of Inside Influence. In which I delve into the minds of some of the world’s most fascinating influencers – or experts in influence - to get to the bottom of what it really takes to own your voice - and then amplify it to drive an industry, a conversation, a movement or a nation. Here is the primary question I went into my interview with this week’s guest thinking about…What kind of leadership influence actually creates impact? Real impact.Sure as leaders we can request, motivate, incentivise - reprimand. But what happens when those tools don’t work? When we’ve tried everything we know - and the results are still falling way too far short? When we have that sneaking feeling in our gut that it’s us rather than them - and that a better leader could get this train back on track. It’s hard to admit those moments - because it means we have to stretch when we already feel stretched enough. Learn new tools and - hardest of all - admit to those we’re supposed to inspire that in this moment we’re as unsure as anyone else.And yet - it’s in those moments - according to my next guest - that we have the choice to do something different. To develop tools that are some of the most potent we have available as leaders. These tools are counter-intuitive. They involve slowing down - especially when you need results fast. To stop talking even when everyone is looking to you for answers. To really listen to our teams - and consider their purpose in going to work in the first place - rather than purpose we have given them. To trust the people around us implicitly until proven otherwise - and then tell the truth fast when things aren’t working. Essentially they involve unlearning everything we think we know as leaders.My guest today is the entertaining and unreservedly direct Nigel Risner. Nigel is a globally recognised specialist in company turnarounds - and author of ‘The Impact Code’. His journey into leadership began at 21 - as one of the youngest CEO’s of a financial services company in London. He started with the total sum of £12.80 in his pocket - and went on to lead that company through massive growth - eventually becoming the largest independent brokerage in the Country. But of course that’s not the end of the story. The course of true love - or true leadership - never ran that smooth. I also can’t think of many masterful CEO’s or Founders that I know that hit the bullseye on the first shot. Or the second or the third for that matter. Then came the financial crash of the 1980’s - and after a chain of events Nigel found himself making a previously inconceivable choice - to drive a mini-cab in the Company Bentley in order to pay the bills. What happened next - and the lessons he learnt - fire tested all the tools he now teaches when it comes to helping companies and teams successfully emerge from what would be considered ‘near fatal’ situations.In today's conversation Nigel and I go head first into:The importance of telling the truth quicklyThe art of deep trust - until proven otherwiseWhat it takes to show up intentionally and powerfully as a leaderWhy 17 mins is the magic number - I won’t go into more detail here - but it’s worth writing downHow to turn Feedback into Feedforward. A simple twist that completely changes the outcome.And the vital leadership pivot from coach to commentator I first heard about Nigel in a Facebook message that arrived one morning from a friend I admire. It said: ‘You need to check this guy out. He’s interesting.’So now I’m saying the same to you. Grab a coffee - get ready to dive into a world of what it takes to drive leadership impact - when the road most travelled disappears.Enjoy my conversation with Nigel Risner.

Leadership and the EnvironmentIs a conversation about climate change and the environment relevant to you and I as leaders… or is it just the flavour of the day?Environmental issues are part of the everyday news cycle. But here’s the big question: If we think above and beyond either side of the discussion (and the environment being used a political catapult), are these issues relevant to us as leaders of industries? And if so, why are they relevant? Well stay tuned because we are about to take a dive into this controversial subject. Our guest on this episode is Joshua Spodek. He’s the bestselling author of Leadership Step by Step, and his resume is far beyond impressive!Joshua is an Adjunct Professor at NYU, leadership coach and workshop leader for Columbia Business School, columnist for Inc., and founder of Spodek Academy. He has led seminars in leadership, entrepreneurship, creativity, and sales at Harvard, Princeton, MIT, the New York Academy of Science, and in private corporations. He co-founded and led (as CEO or COO) several ventures, and holds six patents. He also holds five (5) Ivy League degrees, and he studied under a Nobel Laureate. He’s visited North Korea twice, swam across the Hudson River, and has even done burpees daily since 2011 -- 130,000 and counting. Due to his commitment to being a leader, he takes 16 months to produce one load of garbage, and in the age of easy access he (by choice) hasn’t flown since March 2016.He's the man Esquire’s Genius issue called “best and brightest”, and NBC said he’s an “astrophysicist turned new media whiz”. So let's welcome author of Initiative: Bring Your Passions to Life!, returning champion Joshua Spodek.On this episode, we go FullMonty on:Why we need to focus on initiative rather than entrepreneurshipWhy leadership is NOT about telling people what to do, pushing legislation without popular support, or spreading facts, figures, doom, and gloomWhy we must learn to lead AND practice initiativeUsing your lack of integrity to become an outstanding leaderWhy you being a genuinely happy leader is so important to loyalty Why it's all about the "little things" And so much more...To find out more about Joshua: www.joshuaspodek.comTo find out more about hiring Dov Baron as a speaker or strategist for your organization: http://fullmontyleadership.com/consulting or http://fullmontyleadership.com/speakingRemember you can now also find us on iTunes, Spotify, iHeart Radio, or wherever you tune into podcasts.Listen in on traditional radio stations across the US every Monday and Thursday on: 99.5 FM & 1520 AM Las Vegas102.1 FM & 1640 AM Lancaster, Philadelphia87.9 FM & 810 AM Macon, Gorgia 92.1 FM & 1630 AM Tampa, Florida97.7 The Villages, Florida96.3 FM Boulder ,Colorado90.3 FM Milwaukee, Wisconsin 94.7 FM Pittsburg, Philadelphia87.9 FM Colorado Springs, ColoradoAnd NOW LIVE!

Episode #15 // I’ve got to say, we get some seriously great listener questions every week! When we started the podcast we were coming up with our own topics, and now we get so many questions, that we get to make what you guys want and need to hear - which was our ultimate goal of the podcast from day one!The question I'm answering today is no different, in fact we liked it so much we moved this episode up the priority order as I suspect this is something that happens far more frequently than we might imagine. Listener James asked:"In a recent leadership transition from individual contributor to management, I was tasked with delivering tasks above my competency and was under supported in acquiring these skills, resulting in damage to my career brand. When acting in a new level, how do you ensure a safe learning approach and don't damage your reputation?”A cracking question James, and first of all I want you to know - you’re not alone! I’m going to answer this question by covering the below:My own experience of none of my bosses EVER having a conversation with me about the differences I was about to face in a new levelThe issue with most of the cookie cutter training many organisations have their leaders completeA great analogy from Monty Python demonstrating the gap between most leadership education and the actual practicality and implementation of these skills (I’m a big Monty Python fan!)The five key generic skills that I believe are needed at any level if you want to be a good leaderWhy your boss can’t be your mentor, and what to look for in oneAnd finally, how to take control of your own career development destiny - I’ve put these all in an easy to download free PDF which you can get here, called ‘Five Tips for Taking Control of Your Own Development’Now I’m going to make a pretty educated guess and say that because you’re listening to this podcast, you’re already going down the self development path, however I hope this gives you clarity on what you need to focus on, and how to move yourself forward, even if you’ve been stranded by your boss!As always, I’d love to know what you thought of this episode, so send me any of your feedback to hello@yourceomentor.com.Have you checked out our Leadership Level Up online masterclass yet?

Michaëla Berglund is the CEO of executive recruitment company Michaël Berglund. Today Michaëla talks about the positive shift in the Swedish corporate environment, what makes a good leader, why purpose-driven companies are so popular right now, why it’s important for companies to focus more on the present rather than on the future, why we should all find our purpose and why leaders need to be more open, vulnerable and mature in order to make a difference.On today’s podcast:The positive shift in the Swedish corporate environmentWhat makes a good leaderWhy purpose-driven companies succeedCompanies should focus more on the presentWhy we all need to find our purposeWe need to be more open, vulnerable and matureLinks:Michaël BerglundMichaëla’s Podcast (in Swedish)Full show notes at: http://corporateunplugged.com/podcast/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Episode #1 // Needing to be liked is a symptom of a deeper issue - conflict aversion. This affects everything you do as a leader. How would you know if you, or your people, had a problem with this? Overcoming it is key to any successful leader’s career.On today’s show, we’re looking at why letting go of the need to be liked is critical for your success as a leader. I love talking about this, because it's so closely tied to one of my favourite career killers; the inability to handle conflict.In this episode we'll cover:The mantra you HAVE to use if you're going to help yourself move from likeable leader, to respected leaderWhy wanting to be liked cannot be the goal of a leaderWhy developing yourself to handle conflict is essential to your leadership successHow to recognise the symptoms of conflict aversion in yourself and others (it's much easier to see in others, but what about when you turn the microscope on yourself!)My key strategies for getting over the need to be likedMy daily reflection discipline that will enable you to put the theory into action (you should definitely download these key questions at www.yourceomentor.com/episode1 to keep yourself on track)I’d love to know how you go using the daily reflections discipline, and whether this has struck a chord with you in your leadership journey.Head over to my LinkedIn page and send me a message. I'd love to hear from you!

As leaders, our role is to make an impact. In one form or another, we need to make an impact to be successful. But what does it mean to be a high-impact leader? That's the question which my guest and I tackle during this episode. Being a high-impact leader is beyond making results at the bottom line, it's about making results in your people - their attitude, development, and thought process. Ultimately, in order for leader to be high-impact leaders they need to develop an organizational culture which allows for everyone to be developed into high-impact leaders.  The guest on this episode, Dr. Jason Brooks, has just the solution and ideology behind this concept. As an executive leadership coach, a podcaster himself, and leadership scholar he lives his life through the framework of: Live. Love. Lead. Leave a Legacy!  How to be a High-Impact Leader Topics During our conversation we discuss the following topics: Where the ideology of being a high-impact leader came fromWhat it mean to be a high impact leaderWhy growing high-impact leaders is important in an organizationHow current leaders develop other leaders into high-impact leader Guest Resources If you are interested in learning more about Dr. Jason Brooks and his mission, check out his resources: WebsitePodcastFacebook PageLinkedIn Profile Moving Forward Leadership Resources Keep on top of Moving Forward Leadership with all the resources which I have established for you: POWER Goals Program - If you are ready to stop complaining and start achieving those goals which you have been trying to achieve for some time now.
