If you can't be a leader at home, how can I trust you to be a leader somewhere else?” “Leadership is about trust. If somebody doesn't trust you, you can't be a leader. You can still be the boss and tell them what to do, and they do it because they have to. There's a huge difference between doing what you're telling them to do (because they have to) and then doing it because they trust you and want to do it well. And the only way to develop trust is through a relationship.” “Every single day as a leader, you are going to make a difference in somebody's life. I guarantee every day. Go out there and make a conscious decision to make a positive difference in at least one person's life every day.” “If you make a positive difference in somebody's life, they're going to leave positive prints in somebody else's life. So it just seeds on itself.” “I don't care how long you've been a leader; you always need that nudge every once in a while to get you back to your roots. It doesn't mean you're not a good leader, but you can be better. You can always be a better leader.” “Every single day as a leader, you owe it to the people you've had the privilege to lead to be better than you were yesterday.” BOOK MENTIONED: Wooden on Leadership by John Wooden (https://a.co/d/cSf0lMN) PODCASTS MENTIONED: The Word on Fire Show https://www.wordonfire.org/videos/wordonfire-show/ Jocko Podcast – Leadership and Discipline https://jockopodcast.com/ USEFUL RESOURCES: https://www.ltcoakmcculloch.com https://www.instagram.com/ltcoakmcculloch https://www.facebook.com/LTCOakMcCulloch https://www.linkedin.com/in/oakland-mcculloch-34293256/ https://twitter.com/LtcOakland https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Ep1eqF3o0X5CBamtVgClQ Your Leadership Legacy: Becoming the Leader You Were Meant to Be (https://a.co/d/j6DPIr1) CONNECT WITH JOHN Website - https://thejohnhulen.com Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnhulen Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/johnhulen Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/johnhulen LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhulen YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLX_NchE8lisC4NL2GciIWA EPISODE CREDITS Intro and Outro music provided by Jeff Scheetz - https://jeffscheetz.com/

That's what makes a good leader in life.” “The way you're going to get better leadership and better long-term results is by investing in your people, by building them up, and by helping them become what they were created to be.” “Leadership is not about you; it's all about you and how you treat and empower the people you have the privilege to lead.” “One of the things that I see lacking in today's leaders is that they're afraid to get to know the people that they're working with.” “Leaders forget how important it is to understand how much the people you lead want that personal touch. They want you to show them that we're worth sitting down and actually repaying by writing a note.” “Legacy has two parts to it. Very small part of it is what you actually did...the majority of your legacy is that next generation of leaders that you produce.” USEFUL RESOURCES: https://www.ltcoakmcculloch.com https://www.instagram.com/ltcoakmcculloch https://www.facebook.com/LTCOakMcCulloch https://www.linkedin.com/in/oakland-mcculloch-34293256/ https://twitter.com/LtcOakland https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Ep1eqF3o0X5CBamtVgClQ Your Leadership Legacy: Becoming the Leader You Were Meant to Be (https://a.co/d/j6DPIr1) CONNECT WITH JOHN Website - https://thejohnhulen.com Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnhulen Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/johnhulen Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/johnhulen LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhulen YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLX_NchE8lisC4NL2GciIWA EPISODE CREDITS Intro and Outro music provided by Jeff Scheetz - https://jeffscheetz.com/

Episode 77: Joe Weston & His Book, Mastering Respectful Confrontation: A Guide to Personal Freedom and Empower, Collaborative Engagement With a career spanning 30+ years in the fields of conflict prevention, leadership, stress management, and communication, the wisdom Joe shares in this conversation and through his books seems to be more timely (and deeply needed) these days than ever. Having first started out as an actor -- and then teaching his own method -- and specializing in communication, Joe has been drawn to the power of connection and understanding that can lead us as a species to either become more cohesive and connected or fall to disconnection and distrust. It says a lot about Joe's work and character that, while I look at this conversation and see the fear we all have inside of us that leads to that disconnection, he sees, believes, and is pulled more toward the hope that exists and that is out there. Although he's hopeful, he knows it takes work -- in understanding both ourselves and others. Before looking to the outside world and either saying our needs aren't being met or believing another's needs are not as important as our own, we need to look inward, into our hearts, to see what this life should be all about. Do we want to allow it all to fall apart around us, or take responsibility and contribute as much as we can -- no matter how little or how much -- to creating ripple effects of support, concern, and community? Each of us is more powerful than we believe. In my coaching, I've see most of us don't understand this. We leave too much ability, desire, and skill on the table by underestimating ourselves. We need to turn that around. Conversation Highlights "Unfortunately, the planet is filled with an enormous amount of information gatherers who haven't learned very much." The problems in our world are complicated. The solutions are simple. But implementation is hard work. The dangers of Chronic Niceness The Power of Assertiveness vs. The Pitfall of Aggression How Joe's work helps you get physical vitality, emotional stability, mental clarity, and spiritual grounding The MAIN QUESTION underlying my conversation with Joe is, How do you balance understanding who you really are and what you need/want with your responsibility in what the world needs?

Welcome to the Selling from the Heart podcast with Darrell Amy and Larry Levine as they welcome Oakland McCulloch, a retired lieutenant colonel and the author of Your Leadership Legacy. Taking from 40 years of leadership, Oakland zeroes in on taking care of people as the number one priority of every organization.He emphasizes that a culture of trust starts with servant leadership, and you can start this by bridging the professional and personal gap to forge trust with your team. Oakland also points out that leadership development does not happen by accident and how self-discipline is one of the biggest characteristics of leaders. HIGHLIGHT QUOTESEverything cascades from taking care of your people - Oakland: "People will always tell me when I tell them about it's not about you, and they say well, Oak, I really want my next promotion and I want my next pay raise." "And I said, you're going to get it. If you take care of people, they are better, which then makes your organization better, which then makes you better, which means you're going to get your promotion."Developing new leaders has a twofold benefit - Oakland: "Leadership development doesn't happen by accident. You have to develop a plan in your organization that is developing that next generation of leaders. And here's what I tell people, you get two benefits." "Not only are you getting better leaders, which then again gives you a better company and more profit if that's the bottomline that you're really looking for, but you also give people in your organization the ability to move up, which then helps their motivation."Connect with Oakland and get his book:LinkedIn | Website Learn more about Darrell and Larry: Darrell | Larry | WebsiteGot a video about how you sell from the heart?

Why should you always get your own cup of coffee? What is the creative power that lies behind organized chaos? Can you build an “idea cake”? I'm so excited to bring this conversation with Lieutenant Colonel Oakland McCulloch to you. LTC McCulloch is a retired U.S. Army officer, and together we dig into the origins of modern-day emotional leadership. We trace its origins to military styled leadership, and reflect on how that has come to characterize modern day leadership philosophy. We also consider why the modern military has made a switch towards emotionally intelligent leadership, and why it is that the corporate world has not seen a shift to the same degree.

While many might think that being a leader just means telling others what to do, Oakland emphasizes that leadership is about people and that being a servant leader is what it is all about. People need to know that you have their best interest in mind in order for you to be able to lead them, otherwise you will end up with people that might get work done for you, but passion and motivation are the key pieces that are lacking. Tune in to hear all about Oakland's insight on how you can be a truly effective leader that people want to follow.Key highlights:● Oakland's background in the army leading up to his retirement in 2009● Oakland's reasons for being passionate about leadership● Lessons Oakland learned from being an army officer● Leadership is leadership- it doesn't matter where you practice it● People need to know that you have their best interest in mind to be able to lead them● Leadership is all about people and all about trust, if you lose trust or respect, people won't work very hard for you● The power of showing people you care about them● It is a privilege to being able to lead people- it's not about the title and more pay● Servant leadership is key● Leaders make a difference in people's lives● What can people do to improve their leadership skills?● What do good leaders do?● You need to be good at motivating people by finding a sense of purpose in their lives, a paycheck isn't enough motivation● How to get motivated in your leadership position● Why all leaders need a “Napoleon's corporal”● Why he wrote a book and what opportunities it led to● Our country is in need of good leadershipEpisode resources: ● Get Oakland's book: Your Leadership LegacyQuote from the episode:“It's mission first, people always.”Connect with Oakland: Website: www.ltcoakmcculloch.comLinkedInInstagram @ltcoakmccullochTwitter @LtcOaklandFacebookConnect with Eric: Be sure to connect with us in our Lead Sell Grow – The Human Experience Tribe Facebook group: Pick up your copy of B2B Sales SecretsLearn more about our services: www.TheGoalGuide.comImprove your sales and stay connected – Free Gifts Here https://shor.by/TheGoalGuide
"It's not about YOU. It's about how YOU help OTHERS." An outstanding talk on the principles of leadership from the great Lieutenant Colonel Oakland McCulloch. Interesting times we're facing, isnt' it? Our society is the most modern it has ever been, yet we're facing a never-before seen pandemic and something that makes covid seem less important now: war times. As I returned from a longer trip a few days, I was so looking forward to talk about the strong principles of leadership with the wonderful Lieutenant Colonel Oakland McCulloch @ltcoakmcculloch, who is a leader with 40 plus years of leadership experience, a teacher, an author of a leadership book and an experienced public speaker. As Oakland says himself: "It is about leadership, not military leadership, but leadership. I believe great leaders are Servant Leaders. LEADERSHIP IS LEADERSHIP, no matter where you learned it and practiced it. Leadership skills are transferable between professions", his thoughts on fear are: "We all have our fears. I live by the quote by President Franklin D. Roosevelt: "Courage is not the absence of fear but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear." I believe you overcome fear in several ways: self-discipline, training and conviction."
