Hosts Mallory and Seth dive into the books that have profoundly shaped their leadership philosophies. From timeless business classics to modern leadership must-reads, they share personal anecdotes, key insights, and how these books have influenced their careers. If you're looking to sharpen your leadership skills, rethink your approach to work, or just add some solid reads to your bookshelf, this episode is for you.Their Book Recommendations:How To Be a Great Boss - Gino Wickman and Rene Boer The First 90 Days - Michael WatkinsFinancial Intelligence - Karen Berman and Joe Knight Linchpin - Seth GodinKey TakeawaysLeadership wisdom in print – Books like The Contrarian's Guide to Leadership and The First 90 Days provide invaluable frameworks for becoming a more effective leader.Decluttering your learning habits – Seth shares why he donated 1,000+ business books and how it changed his mindset.The power of delegation – How to Be a Great Boss introduces the “Delegate and Elevate” method to help leaders focus on their strengths.The business side of leadership – Financial Intelligence is a must-read for marketers and leaders who want to master financial decision-making.Navigating change – Leading Change by John Kotter offers an eight-step framework for organizational transformation.Why AI makes Linchpin more relevant than ever – Seth Godin's classic on being indispensable in an evolving workplace takes on new meaning in the age of AI.Why Seth Donated 1,000+ Business Books‍ At one point, Seth owned over a thousand marketing and business books—until he gave almost all of them away. The decision wasn't about decluttering; it was about mindset. He realized he had been reading out of self-doubt rather than genuine curiosity. His takeaway? Read intentionally, not out of obligation. This led to a more thoughtful approach to learning and a more focused book collection, including only the works that truly resonated with him.‍The Books That Shaped Our Leadership Approach ‍Mallory and Seth each brought a list of their top leadership books, and surprisingly, some picks overlapped. Both agreed that The First 90 Days by Michael Watkins is an essential read for anyone stepping into a new leadership role. Whether you're joining a new institution or taking on more responsibility in your current role, the book provides a roadmap to navigating those crucial first months.Mallory highlighted How to Be a Great Boss, which introduces a simple but powerful framework for delegation. The “Delegate and Elevate” model helps leaders identify what tasks they should focus on and what they should offload to empower their teams. Seth emphasized the importance of Jim Collins' work, particularly Good to Great, for understanding how to build high-performing organizations.‍Bridging the Gap Between Marketing and Finance ‍One of the most overlooked skills for leaders—especially in higher education—is financial literacy. Mallory recommended Financial Intelligence, a book that helps non-financial professionals understand balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow in a way that's practical and approachable. If you want a seat at the leadership table, you need to be fluent in the language of finance.‍‍The Role of AI and Why Linchpin Matters More Than Ever Seth Godin's Linchpin has been a staple for years, but Mallory argues it's more relevant now than ever. In a world where AI is taking over repetitive tasks, the book's core message—being indispensable by focusing on creativity, empathy, and problem-solving—is crucial. AI can handle the data, but it's humans who bring strategic insight. If you've read Linchpin before, this might be the perfect time to revisit it through the lens of today's evolving workplace.‍More Book Recommendations for Leaders Seth wrapped up the conversation with a speed round of additional must-reads:Marketing & Strategy: Ogilvy on Advertising, Ryan Holiday's Ego is the EnemyBiographies & Memoirs: Shoe Dog (Phil Knight), Steve Jobs (Walter Isaacson)Mindfulness & Philosophy: Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind, Tao Te ChingWant More Leadership Insights?If you're looking for an actionable guide to integrating AI into your leadership strategy, check out The AI Playbook for Institutional Leaders. This free resource breaks down AI adoption into three phases, offering checklists and frameworks to guide your institution's approach.

No! God Did NOT Talk to Eve about Pain in Childbirth. God talked to Eve about (1) toil in fieldwork because of the coming curse on the ground and about (2) conception in fulfillment of God's promise of offspring who would crush the serpent's head! Neither of these had to do with what you'll find in most English versions that talk about "pain in childbearing." Let's "true" the verse and let God's actual words come through. The closest we can find in English is the KJV.PLUS - how lives are being changed through our podcast, books and courses!AND - 3/16 Day 2025 is coming fast.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for December 29, 2024 is: linchpin • LINCH-pin • noun Linchpin, sometimes spelled lynchpin, literally refers to a locking pin inserted crosswise, as at the end of an axle or shaft. In figurative use, linchpin refers to a person or thing that serves to hold together parts or elements that exist or function as a unit; such a linchpin is often understood as the most important part of a complex situation or system. // Investors are betting that the new product line will be the linchpin that secures the company's place in the very competitive market in the years and decades to come. See the entry > Examples: “When people tell the story of my life, when I tell this story of my life, Trisha doesn't get much space, but she is a linchpin. For me the linchpin is that tiny bit of aid that holds things together when they might otherwise fall apart that keeps you rolling down the road to where you were already going. It's not the engine, it's not the track. It's invisible but in the moment essential help.” — Alice Randall, My Black Country: A Journey Through Country Music's Black Past, Present, and Future, 2024 Did you know? In his 1857 novel, Tom Brown's School Days, Thomas Hughes describes the “cowardly” custom of “taking the linch-pins out of the farmers' and bagmens' gigs at the fairs.” The linchpin in question held the wheel on the carriage, and removing it made it likely that the wheel would come off as the vehicle moved. Such a pin was called a lynis in Old English; Middle English speakers added pin to form lynspin. By the early 20th century, English speakers were using linchpin for anything as critical to a complex situation as a linchpin is to a wagon, as when Winston Churchill, in 1930, wrote of Canada and the role it played in the relationship between Great Britain and the United States, that “no state, no country, no band of men can more truly be described as the linchpin of peace and world progress.”

Corey is a husband, a father & a Linchpin members. He works all day in an aluminum factory & then heads home to his wife & two young kids. Corey workouts in his garage & at his work.

The first factor was covered on the last episode, that being ownership for the plan. It matters that the frontline manager is bought into the vision and strategy, and embodies it for the people. The second factor is clear, but also often overlooked. Competence. In order for the frontline manager to be a linchpin for the success of your business, he must have the adequate competence required of this role.

Julie is a wife, a mother, a former attorney & a Linchpin member. Over the course of her life she has had 12 orthopedic surgeries, including 2 total hip replacements. This all started with an accident she had when she was only 10 year old. At 12 years old she was in a full body cast for 7 weeks! She has remained fit & healthy to the best of her ability even in the face of difficulty & pain. This is her story.

One of the critical roles in your business is the frontline manager. This is the role of execution. The top leader has the vision, the strategy, the plans. Those are crucial aspects to ensure your organization is moving in the right direction. Is the frontline manager bought into the mission? Does he own it? This is the first factor to consider in making sure you have the right person for the job. The second factor is equally important. But it'll have to wait until next time, when we talk more about how the frontline manager is the linchpin.

The Learning Leader Show With Ryan Hawk Full show notes at www.LearningLeader.com My books: Welcome to Management - https://amzn.to/3XWyZAH  The Pursuit of Excellence - https://amzn.to/4eX9vtP  The Score That Matters - https://amzn.to/3zPub7Z  Seth Godin is the author of 21 international bestsellers that have changed the way people think about work and art. They have been translated into 38 languages. His breakthrough books include Purple Cow, Tribes, The Dip, Linchpin, and his latest book is called This is Strategy. He writes one of the most popular daily blogs in the world and has given 5 TED talks. He is the founder of the altMBA, and the former VP of Direct Marketing at Yahoo! Notes: "If you want word of mouth, you have to create something remarkable, and that means it's worthy of remark." The elegant path is the most useful way forward. “My neighbor is a barefoot runner. He glides without apparent effort.” Elegance is simplicity, efficiency, and effectiveness. Dorothy and Her Crew. How did Dorothy persuade the Lion, Tin Man, and Scarecrow to join her on the trip to see the Wizard? Did she make a case about how much she missed home? No. She created the conditions where the others could get what they wanted by joining her. Seeing Strategy Clearly. Strategy is a flexible plan that guides us as we seek to create a change. It helps us make decisions over time while working within a system. Low-Hanging Fruit Isn't. It's all been picked. The easy, direct, obvious paths are unlikely to get you the results you're working so hard to obtain. In fact, these paths are probably a trap. Seth, at one point, got 800 rejection letters. Have to keep going... "I wouldn't call Steve Ballmer a good leader." An example of Seth making a difference... He went to Kenya and talked with 60 people who started a book club based on his book Linchpin. "They decided to be leaders." Make decisions in the moment: Examine the issue Get feedback Look for patterns "Taste is knowing what the market wants before it knows it." Rick Rubin Reality distortion field Johnny Cash "What do you think?" "Objections are your friends." What are the commonalities among leaders with whom Seth has worked and who have sustained excellence? They are all different, but the one thing they have in common is they all have chosen to be leaders. And that means that they are here to make a change happen. Management doesn't just exist. It was invented. When you race to the bottom, You see people as resources, not as people. Questions That Lead To Strategies. 84 questions. They'll force you to think through your strategy. By answering them, you'll be better prepared to make a difference… And make a ruckus. Some of them: Who is this project for? What is my timeline? What systems would need to change for my project to succeed? Where will I cause tension? What resistance should I anticipate? Where is the empathy? What asset would transform my project? What can I learn from comparable projects? Is the change I'm making contagious? Can I make it easier for others to decide? How can I design for network effects? What are common objections I expect to encounter?
