They are the “glue” of the team. Conscientious people are thinkers, their key desire is order, accuracy, precision and perfection.People are never just purely one personality, there's at least one more since people are very complex. However, there is one personality that's more dominant than the others. DISC won't only help you and your team know each other's strengths and weaknesses, but it can also be used to communicate and interact with your clients more effectively.To know a person's DISC personality -  give people two simple either/or decisions, see if they exhibit a more open or guarded behavior and direct or indirect behavior. "The beauty of DISC is that it… makes us better managers, builds a team cohesion because if I could know who's what style, what the do's and don'ts of communication could be, what their strengths and struggles may be - it makes our interaction so much more productive." — Dr. Tony Alessandra YouTube playlist link mentioned in the episode:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTNKuyfaKqLbCwGVqyfFRQghFoRFaQQjr Free Communication Coach link mentioned in episode:https://www.assessments24x7.com/communication-coach To take the DISC with Jennie at a discounted rate go to https://badassdirectsalesmastery.com/product/deeper-than-disc/And use coupon code BDSMDISC to get $50 off full priceConnect with Dr. Tony Alessandra:Twitter: https://twitter.com/TonyAlessandra Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Assessments247 Instagram: https://instagram.com/tonyalessandra/ Website: https://alessandra.com/ YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/TonyAlessandra LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tonyalessandra/ Blog: http://www.assessments24x7.com/blogCONNECT WITH JENNIE:Twitter: https://twitter.com/jenniebplFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/badassdirectsalesmastery/app/307339332686535/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/badassdirectsalesmastery/Website: https://badassdirectsalesmastery.com/ Show: https://badassdirectsalesmastery.com/blog/Email: jennie@badassdirectsalesmastery.com Show notes by Podcastologist: Justine TallaAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Co-hosts Jan Rutherford and Jim Vaselopulos interview Tommy Spaulding - the author of “Heart-Led Leader.” The conversation explores themes on being humble, authentic, and honorable vis-a-vis grit, edge, and tenacity. Tommy wrote about Return On Relationship (ROR), and says that with authentic relationships, you get lifelong customers. When you have a genuine interest in others, they will ask you, “What do you do? How can I help you?” Tommy believes the greatest leaders are the ones that connect the head to the heart. Listen in to learn more about leading with your head and heart..   Key Takeaways [1:59] Tommy’s career started at Up With People. In the course of that job he met Ken Blanchard, who changed his life. Tommy followed his footsteps to become a thought leader, speaker, and author. Tommy sees his success as being based on ‘heart.’ He categorizes thought leaders as either arrogant about success or humble about their path to learning. [4:39] Tommy says within minutes of entering an event he can tell if the CEO is respected and loved. You can choose to work every day on being humble, authentic, and honorable. It’s Not Just Who You Know is about ‘net giving,’ not networking. Net giving is where your heart should be when you meet people. Don’t sell yourself, but learn about others, and how you can serve them and give to them. [12:03] Leadership books must deliver bottom line results. Tommy wrote about Return On Relationship (ROR) to steer people toward relationship building. Authentic relationships become lifelong customers. Tommy reveals the ‘magical’ key to monetizing relationships. Without this key, the relationship will fail. When you have a genuine interest in others, they will ask you, “What do you do? How can I help you?” [18:16] As Tommy met leaders, he observed the ones that people particularly loved. He started taking notes, and listing leaders that he felt were servant leaders, and interviewed them. The greatest leaders are the ones that connect the head to the heart. People want to follow them. [20:31] Tommy defines a great leader as one people choose to follow, because they love and are loved. Tommy uses the example of Roger Eaton, the global President of KFC. He is not just respected, but is loved by his people. Tommy talks on love in the workplace. Millennials will not follow you, unless they know that you are creating a place of goodness. [27:38] Tommy wants a Maserati, but he won’t leave Lexus, because of service manager Kelly Kennedy. Kelly provides incredible customer service, and hugs Tommy every time he sees him. Any leader would want customers to feel about their staff the way Tommy considers Kelly. [36:54] In building authentic relationships with people, the goal is not get on their Christmas card list. The goal is to be invited to their Christmas (or Chanukah) dinner. Make a list of the top 20 important people in your life, and ask what kind of relationship you have. Ask, how would you love and serve them more? It can transform your life. It takes time. Tommy discusses authentic philanthropy.     Books Mentioned in This Episode The One Minute Manager, by Kenneth Blanchard Ph.D. and Spencer Johnson M.D. Leadership and the One Minute Manager: Increasing Effectiveness Through Situational Leadership, by Ken Blanchard, Patricia Zigarmi, and Drea Zigarmi The Heart-Led Leader: How Living and Leading From the Heart Will Change Your Organization and Your Life, by Tommy Spaulding It's Not Just Who You Know: Transform Your Life (and Your Organization) by Turning Colleagues and Contacts into Lasting, Genuine Relationships, by Tommy Spaulding, Foreword by Ken Blanchard   Bio Tommy Spaulding is the Founder & President of Spaulding Companies, a leadership development, speaking, training, and executive coaching firm based in Denver, Colorado.
