Through more than 40,000 assessments and hundreds of interviews, John Eades and his team at LearnLoft have discovered the most important job a leader has today is to elevate others. That's exactly what we talk about in this episode. Leadership is more than having a C-level or management title. For any entity or group to succeed, there must be a leader who truly believes in servant leadership, elevating each member of the team to be their absolute best. So, if you're struggling in your leadership role, not getting your team to "do what you want them to do," listen to what John has to say and take it to heart. You'll be amazed at the results.

As managers, we’d do well to remember that we succeed when our people succeed. It’s not always easy to know how we need to adjust our behavior - by stepping in or getting out of the way - but when you get it right, your people can truly flourish and accomplish great things. Today’s guest is John Eades. John is the CEO of LearnLoft, Author of Building the Best, and host of the Follow My Lead Podcast. John and I talk about how to connect purpose to your work, no matter what industry or function you work in, how to support your team members through their role development by providing the right support style at the right times, how to get past your own fears so your teammates can really flourish and when to let go because you can’t make someone else succeed if they don’t want to.  Members of The Modern Manager community get access to Learn Loft’s Leadership Styles quiz that will help you better understand your style and their Mastering the Mighty Skills toolkit so you can elevate your leadership.

When you connect your team to a cause, you breathe life into them. Look for creative ways to show your team the impact or results they are contributing to. When possible, make it about the customers not just the business. Leadership is someone whose actions inspire, empower, and serve others. One of the biggest mistakes managers make is thinking they can just hire great people and get out of the way. We all need somebody else to challenge us in order to go beyond what we think we're capable of. There are four stages of development for an employee in a given role. It’s important to establish where each person is on their development journey so you can match their autonomy and responsibility with their readiness. If you give too much autonomy or responsibility too soon, you risk the person failing or being overwhelmed. If you wait too long, you risk the person losing confidence or becoming bored. What you tolerate, you encourage. If your people are struggling, consider how your actions or inactions are impacting their ability to succeed. Managers need to detach themselves from the outcome. You can do everything to inspire and develop your team, but at the end of the day, they choose how much they want to try. According to the 80-10-10 principle, about 10% of your workers will be low performers, 80% are in the middle, and 10% are top performers. Young managers tend to focus on the bottom 10%. Instead, invest in helping the middle 80% get to the top.  KEEP UP WITH JOHN Website: https://learnloft.com/ Book: https://learnloft.com/building-the-best-book/ Podcast: https://learnloft.com/podcast/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johngeades/ mamie@mamieks.com

John Eades is the CEO of LearnLoft, a leadership development company that transforms managers into leaders. In 2017 he was named a LinkedIn Top Voice in Management and Workplace. He is also a renowned speaker and host of the Follow My Lead podcast. He joins Marcel Schwantes on this week’s show to talk about his new book, Building the Best: Eight Proven Leadership Principles to Elevate Others to Success, and to equip you with the tools you need to become the kind of leader the world needs today. John describes his book as a collection of stories, principles and best practices to help elevate the way you lead. He specifically included tools in the book to help readers apply the principles in their daily leadership practice. [4:23] Marcel cites a line from John’s book: “The most effective leaders who elevate others, lead with high levels of love and discipline.” John defines love as ‘to contribute to someone’s long-term success and wellbeing.’ But there also needs to be discipline. Discipline, in this case, means to promote standards so that those we lead can choose to be at their best. [5:16] John has created an assessment tool to measure both love and discipline. He cites statistics from his research that proves that leaders who use high levels of love and discipline get better business results. [7:37] If as a leader you only look at results, John says, your people will start to cut corners to get the results you want. Instead, you should focus on the daily behaviors and habits that live out your core values. The more your employees buy into your values, the more you will see the desired results. [12:52] John lists the five leadership styles in his book. The top-level leadership style is called Elevate, which entails high levels of love and discipline. He says that you can put this type of leader in any company and they will elevate others. The performance will also elevate. [14:00] Leadership is a journey. We can all develop our skills and become better leaders. [15:58] Once we set high standards we have to hold ourselves and others accountable. John comments that we shouldn’t look at accountability as negative; it also means that giving praise and recognition when standards are exceeded. [17:44] Marcel asks John to share one love competency. John chooses trust because there is no effective leadership without mutual trust. He quotes an old saying, “Rules without relationship lead to rebellion.” You build trust by putting competence and care at the center of your relationships. It takes time though, so you have to be willing to put in the effort. [19:41] John says that it’s a leader’s responsibility to understand the purpose behind the work and communicate that purpose to the team repeatedly. When work is tied to purpose, employees are more engaged and less likely to leave. [23:51] “What are the core responsibilities of a modern leader?” Marcel asks. John responds that a true leader elevates others by inspiring, empowering and serving them. He defines what each of these words mean for a leader. His definition of ‘inspire’ in particular, resonates with Marcel. [25:47] John explains why leading with fear is still so rampant in the workplace. Leaders need to combat fear by choosing to be courageous, he says. [31:16] Marcel comments that great leaders surround themselves with a team of mentors. John names several of his mentors and points out that you have to seek out people who you want to learn and grow from. He wants listeners to actively seek out good mentors because they add so much value. [33:57] John wants you to know that the most faithful wins. He encourages you to do your best wherever you are to elevate others, and don’t give up. In due time you will be rewarded.

On today's episode of the Caged Vision Podcast, I interview John Eades.  John is the CEO of LearnLoft a leadership development company that exists to turn professionals into leaders and create healthier places to work. He is also the author of "Building the Best" due out on November 5th and is the host of the 'Follow My Lead' Podcast. He writes or has been featured on Inc.com, LinkedIn Pulse, TrainingIndustry.com, eLearningIndustry.com, CNBC Money, and more.  Show Notes: Who have to dance within the flame, who chance the sorrow and the shame that always comes with getting burned. Most of us stand outside the fire and what we want to do is be in the fire. ...And we need courage to be in that fire. “This world we live in needs more people not afraid to be in the fire and doing the very best they can possibly do, not sitting on the sidelines. After a year of attempting to build a learning platform, I looked up and we were like a rudderless. And, like most young leaders do, it couldn’t be John’s fault, it has to be my teams fault.  And I decided to let one of my team members go, who was a fantastic team member...worked her tail of. ...And she looked at me at the end of that meeting and said -  “I didn’t know where we were going, I didn’t know what we were doing, and I didn’t know how I was going to help us get there.” I was living proof of being a really poor leader. From the next day forward, I made it my mission to figure out what the best leaders do. I made the decision early on that I was going to document my journey along the way. I didn’t want others to make the same mistakes that I did. Interested or Committed. If you’re just interested in something you do it b/c it’s convenient. You do it because maybe you’re supposed to or you kind of like it. But when you’re committed to something there’s nothing that will stop it. Your going to have ups and downs... But there’s a difference because it doesn’t matter what happens within those boundaries, neither party is going to give up on it. If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. You’re never as bad as you think you are in a lose and you’re never as good as you think you are in a win. ~ Lou Holt’s Failure is not final, failure is feedback. To do anything meaningful, the price you have to pay is high. Self-Discipline: The ability and willingness to sacrifice what you want now for what you want later on. Are you willing and able to make the sacrifice if what you want later on may never happen? It’s actually easier to not do something...it’s easier to sit on the sidelines. The world we live in today - you can be an Uber driver, stay at home, build a life only about yourself...I reject that notion. I hope more people to decide to not sit not he sidelines, I hope they decide to get in the fire. I’m more intensely focused on today than I’ve ever been. PTS Method - Prepare to Serve. Any time you change your environment, Prepare To Serve. There’s a Latin term called nunc coepi - Now I Begin. Each of us have a choice that tomorrow we can wake up and start a new beginning.
