In this Leadership with Heart podcast episode, I welcome Kevin Kruse, Founder and CEO of LEADx. Kevin shares how his introverted nature and deep sense of purpose led him to build a platform designed to democratize leadership development and bring coaching and emotional intelligence tools to every leader through AI and digital innovation.  Our conversation goes far beyond leadership tech. It's a personal and reflective look into why Kevin does what he does, including his intentional decisions to support emerging voices, elevate women leaders, and use his platform to advocate for access and equity in the workplace. Together, we unpack the philosophy of progress over perfection, the duality of Leadership as both head and heart and how caring Leadership isn't about being soft. It's about doing the hard work of consistently showing up for others.  We explore how imperfection can be a robust connector, why self-leadership is foundational, and how direct or indirect mentorship can shift someone's trajectory meaningfully. Kevin also explains why EQ is the new competitive advantage, how the LEADx app is helping build that skill globally, and why future casting may become the defining trait of tomorrow's most effective leaders. Whether you're building your leadership toolkit or wondering how to expand your reach as a mentor, this episode offers practical inspiration with a profoundly human touch. How are you scaling your Leadership personally, professionally, or through others? And how might you be showing up as a mentor, even if you don't realize it yet? I'd love to hear your reflections.

This week, I welcome Evan Watkins, an expert in emotional intelligence, who helps us unravel a subject that truly resonates with me - emotional intelligence in everyday life! Imagine that your career is sailing smoothly, or perhaps it is facing turbulence with unforeseen changes like a layoff or a surprising new opportunity. How do we navigate such unpredictable turns? Evan helps us break down how emotional intelligence, described simply as the "intelligent use of your emotions," can serve as our compass. He introduces us to the RUM model - Recognize, Understand, and Manage - which provides a framework for emotionally intelligent decisions in both life and work. Think of it not as your typical cocktail but as your emotional cocktail, blending self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management! If you Google "how to control your anger," you will see 1.2 million search results, but Evan humorously points out how many of these just recycle the same age-old advice. Instead, emotional intelligence teaches us to channel emotions like anger, not just control them, harnessing their energy positively in workplaces and beyond. Evan and I discuss intriguing examples such as Max Scherzer, the baseball pitcher whose intentional and controlled anger powers his performance. We also would be remiss to not talk about AI. As we pivot into the rapidly advancing world of technology, Evan shares his musings on how AI and emotional intelligence may intertwine. They're more intersectional than we often think, with emotion-aware avatars and other tools changing the communication game. I hope that you will dive into this episode filled with wisdom and wit, insights, and practical tips that encourage us all to focus on the human touch in an increasingly digital world. In summary, Evan and I discuss how emotional intelligence can be developed to effectively take on both expected and unexpected life and career changes. Evan emphasizes the practical applications of emotional intelligence in handling workplace dynamics and anger management, while also exploring its intersection with AI technology to enhance communication and interaction. Episode Highlights: [2:45] - Evan lives in Oceanside with his wife, a professor at UCSD, and their border collie Wendell; he surfs daily and is a writer shopping his second book![4:26] - Emotional intelligence involves recognizing, understanding, and managing emotions to improve life and relationships.[7:41] - Soft skills, such as emotional intelligence, are important for generations affected by limited socialization during COVID.[9:05] - Emotional intelligence is learnable; practicing key skills post-COVID can help improve relationships and workplace dynamics.[11:16] - LEADx offers a free, validated emotional intelligence assessment![13:28] - Evan argues that anger, when managed, can improve focus, persistence, and resilience, as shown in various studies.[15:48] - Evan discusses how Max Scherzer uses anger as motivation but ensures it doesn't overwhelm him, balancing focus and control.[17:34] - Recognizing emotions in real-time can reduce their intensity and improve conflict resolution.[20:46] - Emotional intelligence is essential for adapting to rapid AI advancements, blending with technical skills effectively.[22:47] - Evan points out how future emotional intelligence tools could help refine tone in communication.[25:30] - The LEADx book offers strategies and assessments which help readers develop emotional intelligence and track progress.[28:37] - Evan explains how nudges based on assessments offer tailored strategies for personal and team development in real-time contexts.[31:12] - In closing, emotional intelligence involves recognizing, understanding, and managing emotions to enhance relationships and interactions.

[30:34] And remember, “Leadership is all about emotional intelligence.

Many people are friendly when they're trying to sell you something.” "We all need to sort of train ourselves to respond to things, not react to things." "Understanding ourselves is a journey that doesn't end. There are so many facets to ourselves, and we change as people." "If you show up and genuinely care about people, your exposure will be there because people always remember that person who cared about them." "In the backdrop of exponential technological advancement, the way we win is to lean into our human stuff, our relationship stuff." "Dig your well before you're thirsty.

Hindrances of fostering a future vision and providing feedback from afar, the intriguing concept of "coffee badging" in the return-to-office movement, and the contrasting approaches to remote work globally.The importance of building habits and the use of micro-actions to effectuate notable behavioral changes—essential not only for individual growth but also in leadership and engagement.Kevin Kruse is the Founder and CEO of LEADx.org, offering an AI-powered leadership habits building platform.

Q&A: Most common client questions lately: The whole world is going into a recession! What is a recession?

Higher yields on cash – great for short-term savers and retirees. 4%-5% - CDs, T-Bills, Annuities Housing was getting out-of-control – would soon become unaffordable for most Americans.

And realize that the only thing that I can control is how I react to the situation. When experiencing difficult times with family health it would be easy to get angry, frustrated and allow negative emotions to be destructive to yourself and those around you. Instead, make a disciplined decision (with help from trusted friends, loved ones) to have a positive attitude and make the best of a difficult situation. When going through difficult times thing about: “What does this make possible?” In Rob's situation, he was able to spend focused time with his son and get help from the doctors that may improve his son's health. Charlie's Lesson Learned: Time is the most valuable, precious resource. Become a protector and defender of your time. Time goes by so fast, take the time and be intentional about the impact you are having with your time. Take time to plan your time and how you will be using it wisely, for the benefit of you and your family. https://www.forbes.com/sites/kevinkruse/2016/07/18/successful -people-agree-this-is-their-most-valuable-asset/?sh=cf1f1aa42d78 Kevin Kruse: CEO of Leadx and author of Great Leaders Have No Rules. Rob's Lesson Learned: Treat others with respect and kindness. Even when it's not easy. It's easy to treat friends and people you like well. However, there will be many opportunities to treat people with respect and kindness that don't treat you that way. This takes intentionality and planning. You must think about how you will react when someone makes you angry. How will you react with your personal values and principles in mind. Charlie's Lesson Learned: Choosing the meaningful over the urgent. Don't let tasks drive your day and distract you from the meaningful things. https://valorieburton.com/ “Choosing the meaningful over the urgent so that our life is unhurried, yet purposeful and reflects the values and the impact we want to make, takes reflection. It takes intention. It takes planning...” Think about the analogy of filling the glass container throughout the week. Fill the container with the big rocks first. The most important things. Then the smaller rocks, sand will fill in around the larger rocks. Rob's Lesson Learned: Be present, stay on target, remain focused on the task at hand. Sometimes we get caught up on thinking of past wrongs and/or mistakes and it can negatively affect our present performance and quality of life. Be present! See Lesson Learned #1: Control what you can control. Sometimes the only thing you can control is only your reaction to difficult situations. Charlie and Rob, Final Lesson Learned: Practice Gratitude! It will improve every aspect of your life and those around you. Without practicing gratitude, other things in your life will suffer: Mental health, physical health, quality of relationships, your positive impact on those around you. By practicing gratitude, you become a person other people enjoy being around. Your positive influence grows as your gratitude, even during difficult times, encourages others who may be struggling.

Today's guest, Lucas Carlson, was CEO of AppFog, and now works as CTO of LEADx. He's had plenty of experience building up companies and even seeing them through to acquisition. Today, he dives into some fascinating topics, including what happens when large companies ghost small startups during the acquisition process. He says it's not something that makes the headlines, but it's something that happens all too often. Building Other People's Dreams Lucas has been a computer programmer since he was in middle school in 1996. He can still remember writing his first HTML website and getting hooked. Lucas continued to build websites through high school, and he knew then it was what he wanted to do. Wanting to broaden his horizons, Lucas went to college for physics. After that, he went right back to computers, building startups for other people. People would come to him with their ideas, and he would take the idea through the early stages, sometimes all the way through to an exit. One project he worked on, Measure Map, was later bought by Google. Another success was Mog, a music streaming service. Lucas helped to grow that from an idea to millions of users. He says it was exciting, taking something from inception to mass adoption. Shortly after Lucas left, the company was sold to Beats. Left In A Lurch The story leading up to the sale of AppFog to CenturyLink has never been told publicly before, but Lucas thinks it holds a valuable lesson. Lucas was able to raise $10million for AppFog, but as they grew rapidly, so did their need for more funds. Unfortunately, just as they went out to raise more capital, the market had just dried up. Lucas decided instead to reach out to strategic partners and ask them if they'd like to invest. People were very excited to get involved. Things were going great until one company said, why don't we just acquire you. Lucas brought the idea to his board, who said he should go for it. When Lucas asked if they should get an investment banker involved and shop around, the board told him he should just take the deal. Looking back, Lucas wishes he would've pushed the idea more. Anyway, everything had been agreed on, and everything was in order, but just weeks before closing, the acquiring company ghosted Lucas. When he finally got through to them, they said they didn't hit their earnings and that their stock had fallen 25%, and they weren't in a position to go through with the deal. This left Lucas between a rock and a hard place, almost having to close down his company. Lucas ended up laying off staff and hiring an investment banker. This is when they came across CenturyLink and a deal was made. What Lucas Is Working On Now Lucas is right back where he belongs, as a CTO. He says he feels most comfortable handling the tech side, while someone else handles the business side. He's co-founded LEADx, an AI-powered coaching platform. To check it out, visit www.leadx.org. If you'd like to hear more of Lucas's story, he's written several books, including Finding success In Failure. -- The Exit—Presented By Flippa: A 30-minute podcast featuring expert entrepreneurs who have been there and done it. The Exit talks to operators who have bought and sold a business. You'll learn how they did it, why they did it, and get exposure to the world of exits, a world occupied by a small few, but accessible to many.

As the end of this year draws to a close, we are taking time to review our most listened to episodes of 2020.  This year has been a year like no other and one many of us could have anticipated. As leaders, we have had to be agile both in our plans for the year as well as adapting to what our employees  Earlier this year, we launched our employee engagement trends report showcasing data that explained what drivers employees cared about the most.  Earlier in the year, we revisited this data asking, “Is what we thought to be true then still true today? Joining the discussion is Kevin Kruse, New York Times Best Selling author and CEO of LeadX, along with Santiago Jaramillo, CEO of Emplify.

Today our expert guest is Kevin Kruse, the founder and CEO of LEADx, whose mission is to spark the next 100 million leaders through the use of AI-powered leadership coaching. He's also the host of the LEADx Leadership Podcast, a Forbes columnist, and New York Times best-selling author of nine books, including “15 Secrets Successful People Know About Time Management” and his latest, “Great Leaders Have No Rules.” When he was a teenager, Kevin saw his father try to be an entrepreneur and almost lose everything, but rather than scaring him away from that path, it solidified his desire to have a hand in his own future. Kevin's latest book “Great Leaders Have No Rules” is, contrary to the title, not about breaking the rules or being a rebel—it's about the problems with rules in general. Every time we bump into a rule, it takes away an opportunity to make a choice. And every time we have a choice taken away from us, we feel less engaged, less a part of the company we work for. Instead of forcing rules onto people, we can get them to buy into the shared values of the company and feel like they are contributing to the team. He started several companies from the age of 22 on, and his first few companies crashed and burned. He didn't understand how to manage his time. He didn't understand leadership. Eventually, he realized that, if you want to do great things, you need a talented team of people and you need to lead them effectively. The less time he spent working on the company and the more he spent on leadership and culture, the better his companies did. After seeing a huge advance in artificial intelligence, and noticing that it was now being used for cognitive behavioral therapy, Kevin asked himself: why couldn't it be used to coach people for leadership? That's the premise behind his new company, LEADx. You can download the app directly from Google or Apple right now. The goal is not to mimic a coaching conversation, but imitating the process. In behavior change studies, there have been increases in employee engagement and productivity while also seeing reductions of stress. It's very early, but the progress is encouraging. If you can afford a human coach, you can and should still get a human coach. But for a fraction of the price, you can get a coach-like experience that will give you progress in the areas that you want to focus on. Coaching should be accessible to everyone, and LEADx is aiming to lead the charge in creating that future.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “Leadership isn't a choice. You are a leader whether you want to be or not. Leadership boils down to influence, and what we know from behavioral psychology is that we are influencing people all the time, whether we want to or not. Whether you are at home or at work, you are leading your family, you are leading your team members, you are leading people out in the world. Don't take your actions for granted. When you speak up, you're influencing people. When you choose to stay silent, you're influencing people.

Nikki's guest is Kevin Kruse, author of several books and a contributor to Business Week, Fast Company, Business Insider and Forbes. He is also the founder and CEO of LEADx.org, a next generation AI-powered leadership development and management training company. Kevin tells us how AI can help us – and our managers – be aware of our personality type which in turn can guide us to better, customized WFH strategies. He notes that managers should be less concerned that people are working too little at home, but rather too much – which can lead to burn out. He also tells us how important recognition is, and suggests that since we are missing physical interactions around the office, companies should use systems (like Kudos, for example

As younger-gen (I’m not saying young gen intentionally) and Next Gen hires come into organizations and show their incredible aptitude and promise, we’re certainly justified in wanting to reward them and promote them. Continuity is on our minds right now as we search for the light at the end of the tunnel of this current crisis — and look for how we’re going to sustain our organizations for the future. And it’s the bright stars in our own workforce that may wind up leading the way. So how do we best develop them? How can smaller organizations keep pace and provide access to coaching and support? The answer may lie in AI.  An AI-driven digital coach named Amanda is actually proving to be a phenomenal solution for companies looking to train, develop, and educate front-line managers, supervisors, and upcoming leaders. It was launched by  Kevin Kruse of LEADX using technology powered by IBM Watson. We’re going to talk about what it is, how it works, and why it’s leveling the playing field for organizations no matter their size. Both 80% of those polled on whether or not they wanted robot coaching, and the same percentage of those polled on whether or not they want human coaching said yes, they do. The bottom line isn’t machine or person. It’s having a coach, period. And the results with Coach Amanda are really compelling.

Kevin Kruse is the founder and CEO of LEADx, and a New York Times bestselling author of 9 books including his newest, 15 Secrets Successful Real Estate Agents Know About Time Management.      In this episode, Karen and Kevin discuss: Success Story of Karen Commit to Get Leads o Start a podcast!

While leadership assessments have to potential to provide valuable data for the development needs of an organization’s leaders, they often do nothing more than gather virtual or actual dust. But what if artificial intelligence could turn that data that you’re already collecting into nudges, chatbots and personal insights for Leadership Development and automate the coaching process? It sounds futuristic, but the future is now. Listen in as I talk with Kevin Kruse about how LEADx is using technology to reduce the effort required to transform data into meaningful development opportunities for your leaders. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/learningtechtalks/support

Kevin is the author of Great Leaders Have No Rules: Contrarian Leadership Principles to Transform Your Team and Business and serves as Founder & CEO of LEADx, an online learning platform that provides free leadership development.

No rules. 2. No Smartphones. 3. Crowd your calendar.

Are you a leader who is still following leadership principles from decades ago? Believe it or not, having an open door policy or treating the star performer on your team the same as the guy who is always late and never hits his sales targets may not be a good thing — for you, your team, and innovation! The dynamics of our teams have changed, but the leadership rules have not. Thankfully, Kevin Kruse recognized the need for new principles to guide leaders, and today we’re digging right into his insights.   Kevin is the founder of several successful startups, CEO of LEADx (world’s first executive coach built with IBM Watson AI), and the author of the book Great Leaders Have No Rules: Contrarian Principles to Transform Your Team and Business.   Most of the leadership rules we as leaders follow are outdated, antiquated, and sometimes just plain wrong. Kevin shares more about some of the old mindsets that he’s completely turned around, including why you should be crowding your calendar and scheduling every minute of your day, and why you need to close your open door policy and set fixed office hours for your team! He also has some great insights into the importance of understanding your own personality in being a good leader instead of depending on 10 random principles, and how AI can help leaders. Remember: Leadership starts with yourself because you can’t give what you don’t have.   If you are ready to: get buy-in from key decision makers on your next big idea be a high-impact, high-value member that ignites change foster a culture of innovation where everyone on your team is bringing innovative ideas that tackle challenges and seize opportunities… Join us on LaunchStreet — gotolaunchstreet.com   Mentioned in This Episode: Sponsor: Brillity Digital — Digital Presence Assessment Offer Kevin Kruse LeadX Great Leaders have No Rules: Contrarian Leadership Principles to Transform Your Business and Your Team, by Kevin Kruse 15 Secrets Successful People Know about Time Management, by Kevin Kruse Leading with the Heart, by Mike Krzyzewski and Donald T.

His latest book is Great Leaders Have No Rules: Contrarian Leadership Principles to Transform Your Team and Business.

He is a Forbes Leadership columnist and was named one of the Top Thought Leaders in Trust Across America. Stew and Kevin talk about lessons Kevin has distilled from his experiences, both his failures and his successes. He shares his somewhat unorthodox views on leadership -- including a closed and not an open-door policy, the importance of picking favorites, and having “no rules.” This does not mean anything goes, laissez-faire. It means having crucial conversations about shared values and co-creating standards that flow from them. Kevin believes all of us lead in all the different parts of our lives. It’s not a matter of whether you’re leading but, rather, what your leadership is and what impact you’re having. Kevin’s insights on how he learned this big idea and how he uses it are both profound and practical. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

I have been following Kevin’s career for around ten years, and it is wonderful to finally have him as a guest on the show. Besides talking about a “no-rules” work zone, we discussed the role of “love” in leadership. That's right, love. We explored the idea that you don't actually need to like someone who works for you or with you, but you do need to love that person. It's smart and interesting conversations like this one that keeps me excited about doing this podcast! So if you enjoy learning about the interconnectivity between love and work, leadership principles, or “no rules” work zones, join me for this conversation with Kevin Kruse. In this episode, you’ll hear: How rules can get in the way of relationships Success and understanding that can develop when leaders connect with employees, explain the company culture, and the “why” behind certain actions Leadership is a superpower - not a choice The importance of the “close the open door” principle and the power of creating a sense of psychological safety in others The “crowd the calendar” idea and the importance of scheduling open-office times and your work How to personalize your leadership approach The reasoning behind not over-investing in one person but rather leveraging the talents of top performers Kevin’s perspective on why leaders must lead with love by putting the needs of others ahead of their own That whatever rules you have, it’s important to have a conversation about them...then the rule will be strengthened because of the relationship that develops Resources from this episode: Thank our sponsor: https://Ultimatesoftware.com/LFW  Great Leaders Have No Rules: Contrarian Leadership Principles to Transform Your Team and Business: https://amzn.to/2U59biV John Wooden Quotes https://www.success.com/27-quotes-by-john-wooden-to-motivate-you-to-be-better/ Kevin’s website: https://www.kevinkruse.com Kevin on Twitter: https://twitter.com/kruse Kevin on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinkruse67 *** We're proud to be sponsored by Ultimate Software.

Kevin Kruse is a New York Times bestselling author and entrepreneur who has a mission of reaching over 100 million leaders. He joins me on the show this week to talk about his new book, Great Leaders Have No Rules, adapting a leadership strategy in modern society and creating conversations that lead to deeper clarity and understanding about values.   Key Takeaways: [4:47] As a graduate of Rutgers University, Kevin was the first in his family to go to college. He is originally from Orange County but his family moved out to the East Coast in his teenage years. [12:02] In using baseball as an analogy for business, shortening the season may have benefits, but it’s important to keep sight on how revenue would continue to be generated. [12:50] In this fast-paced and ever-changing society, great organizations learn to modify and adjust how they do business and engage with their customers. [14:20] The stronger the connection is internally between leaders and their team, the greater the customer experience will be. [17:21] Great leadership starts in the hiring process with the right people aligned with the company values and goals. [18:09] Kevin’s inspiration to flip the script on traditional leadership led him to write his new book, Great Leaders Have No Rules. [20:14] Every time we bump into a rule, it shorts us of making a decision and makes us feel less involved. [22:04] Rules crowd out relationships. [24:04] Rules start from a good place, but over time, when the rule is broken or unmet, it causes defensiveness and dishonesty. [25:33] A conversation must be had about the expectations and boundaries within the rules. The more a team understands why the rules are there in the first place, the more likely they are to be compliant. [26:07] Set boundaries as a team. [26:33] When we bump into a rule it is not the end of the world but an opportunity for feedback and a teachable moment. [36:47] Constant screen time impacts our ability to be immersed in the moment and connect fully with others. In Kevin’s Chapter, “Turn off Your Smartphones,” he proposes checking it to process the information and then setting it aside. [38:59] LeadX created an experimental AI-powered executive coach who can answer questions and give action items based on leadership and management essentials. [45:55] Kevin’s goal is to work with a team and impact over 100 million leaders.   Resources: Purchase Bring Your Whole Self to Work and gain access to bonus material Mike Robbins Website Mike Robbins Podcast Mike Robbins on Facebook Mike Robbins on Twitter Mike Robbins on Instagram TED Radio Hour KevinKruse.com Adam Silver and Bill Simmons Leadx.org Great Leaders Have No Rules: Contrarian Leadership Principles to Transform Your Team and Business, by Kevin Kruse

Kevin Kruse knows two things about leadership that most people do not believe. First, leadership is a superpower. Second, almost everything we’ve been taught about leadership is wrong. In Great Leaders Have No Rules, New York Times bestselling author and successful entrepreneur Kevin Kruse debunks popular wisdom with ten contrarian principles for better, faster, easier leadership.  Specifics that we covered on the show include: On great leaders having no rules (03:01) Leading your time vs. managing your time (05:05) On the “open door policy” as a productivity killer (07:50) How to open up your calendar (13:45) Instead of putting rules, what should a leader do instead? (18:40) Defining extreme productivity (26:16) On the 15-secrets mentioned on the last book (30:32) On the idea of slowing down and adopting what successful leaders do (34:20) Quote "We all have the same 1,440 minutes a day. You are not gonna make more time. So, it is really leading your energy, leading your schedule, and leading your minutes." ~ Kevin Kruse Relevant Links: https://www.kevinkruse.com/ (Kevin Kruse - Website) https://twitter.com/Kruse (Kevin Kruse - Twitter) https://www.facebook.com/KruseAuthor (Kevin Kruse - Facebook) https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinkruse67/ (Kevin Kruse - LinkedIn) https://www.youtube.com/user/KruseAuthor (Kevin Kruse - YouTube) http://feeds.feedburner.com/KevinKruseBlog (Kevin Kruse - Blog) https://www.amazon.com/dp/product/B07FC2MG2T/?tag=kevkru-20 (Great Leaders Have No Rules by Kevin Kruse) This episode teaches us the lesson that we are in charge of our time.

LEADx wants to help those that want to make an impact. Leadership is not a choice. You don't need a title to lead. You're a leader whether you want to be or not. Leadership is about influence. We want to help those who want to be great leaders. Great leaders at work, at home and in the neighborhood. We want to help others who just want more from life and who want to achieve their full potential. We hope you join us on this journey! Sign up at LEADx.org.
