Why have an administrator? What can an administrator do in terms of the relationships around the school? Steve Brubaker makes the case that administrators inhabit and manage the complex meeting place of all the people involved in a school. It's a position of influence to be used not to lord it over others but to serve them. “Administrators exist to serve the servants,” says Steven. And schools that lack these people are hampered in their efforts to grow. Specifically, administrators are in a position to nurture growth in these two ways: Valuing the diversity – each person with whom or for whom we labor is worthwhile, and it is one of the administrator's primary roles to reveal and maximize that worth. Promoting the unity – helping all our people speak a common language, doing a lot of listening (which includes creating opportunities for listening), doing a lot of communicating (before, around, and during decision-making), and fostering shared experiences makes this a potent second role for an administrator. Steven develops both of those roles and also provides practical elaboration on the admin/board relationship and the admin/teacher relationship. Bonus: (from the discussion time in the original presentation) How can you go about growing into these responsibilities as an administrator if you're in a situation where the board currently has those responsibilities?

Summary   Lego faced financial trouble in the early 2000s due to the emergence of digital distractions. The new CEO, Jorgen Vig Knutstorp, embraced authenticity and refocused on Lego's core values. He introduced Lego Ideas and formed strategic partnerships with franchises like Star Wars and Harry Potter. Authenticity is crucial in leadership because consistency builds confidence, transparency transforms teams, and integrity inspires influence. Consistency cultivates confidence by being the same person in every situation. Transparency is about being open and honest, creating a predictable environment that fosters trust. Integrity is the backbone of authenticity, doing the right thing even when no one is watching.   Keywords   Lego, financial trouble, authenticity, core values, Lego Ideas, strategic partnerships, Star Wars, Harry Potter, consistency, confidence, transparency, trust, integrity, influence   Takeaways Authenticity is crucial in leadership because it builds trust and fosters a predictable and secure environment.

My leadership style focuses on being open and creating a work environment where team members feel like family, helping brandiD employees thrive both personally and professionally. The biggest leadership lessons come from the positive and negative examples of leaders in your own life. For me, my father's approach to running a family business emphasized kindness and treating team members with respect. Other leaders taught me the significance of autonomy and empowering employees to take ownership of their work, fostering innovation and confidence within the team. If you're developing your own leadership style, be sure to take time for self-reflection, learn from past experiences, and continually seek knowledge through books and podcasts like "The Business of You." Quotes “One of the reasons I think people start businesses, entrepreneurs launch things, besides the fact that there's a problem they're trying to solve. You know, we also get to create our work environment.” “Certainly one thing that's always been important to me, and I don't even think I was conscious of it at the beginning, actually, it's like just a friendliness, helpful nature. I think our whole team has that.” “I'm a very big proponent of being around positivity. I think life is short. I've said that in other episodes, and I don't have time for drama, I don't have time for negativity, I just want there to be as much positivity in my day to day life as possible.” “I would say my leadership style is I'm open, I want to know more than just what's going on in people's lives. Besides their work day and their crafts. I want people to work in their strengths, I want them to feel happy about being in the work environment that they're in, I don't want them to feel stressed. I think life carries enough stress around, it brings enough stress to all of us. So I want it to be just kind of a pleasant environment, but that is very innovative and cutting edge and where people can learn. And I want to foster people's ability to learn and, and grow personally and professionally. Those are all things that are very important to me. So I think my style is just very kind of open. And trusting.” “Good leaders welcome people on their team that are smarter than them and better than them and certain skill sets, I think that's a huge part of success.” “My ability to grow as a leader is so deeply tied into my personal growth that I've learned in more recent years, particularly around mindset, but knowing that my company isn't going to grow unless I personally grow to that level has been very eye opening.” “Take stock of people you've worked for, what did you like, what didn't you like, do the things you liked and don't do the things you don't like, you know, it's really that simple. “Read books about great leaders, it doesn't matter what industry they're from, or if they're political, or what it might be. But just reading their history and reading about their characteristics and their traits, also is very eye opening.” Links mentioned in this episode: The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable by Patrick M.

A big part of what keeps you alive—among other things—is nitrogen. The plants you eat need it to grow, so for centuries farmers have been applying it to soil to make their acreage more productive.  Prior to the 20th century, nitrogen fertilizer used to come from animal feces, blood, and bones—which is still common in organic agriculture today—but most row crops these days are fertilized with human-made nitrogen, produced by a high-energy reaction known as the Haber–Bosch process. (Or if you take Fritz Haber's view of things rather than Carl Bosch's, you might just call it the Haber process.) The creation of synthetic nitrogen is a big reason we can feed eight billion humans today, since it enables us to produce a lot more food from the same acre of land. But, there's much to be desired about how we fertilize crops today. Not only is it highly energy-intensive to fix nitrogen from the air and turn it into something bioavailable to plants, but the application of all that nitrogen also creates major runoff pollution and air emissions problems from our farms. But what if, instead of doing the hard work of turning nitrogen into ammonia ourselves, we could simply coax soil microbes to do it for us? That's what a startup founded in 2011 called Pivot Bio is doing. They've gene-edited microbes to restore their natural ability to convert atmospheric nitrogen and deliver it to crops by adhering to the roots of the plants. These nitrogen-fixing microbes are applied either in the furrow at planting or directly on the seed before planting, forging a symbiotic relationship that allows the plant to thrive with less synthetic nitrogen. And we've got Pivot Bio's president and chief operating officer Lisa Nunez Safarian on the show to talk all about it. Nitrogen, it turns out, is very big business, with the global fertilizer business nearly $200 billion in value. As you'll hear, Pivot Bio has raised a whopping $600 million-plus from venture investors with a valuation nearing $2 billion—or one percent of the entire global fertilizer industry. Lisa tells us in this conversation that Pivot's microbes were used on three million cropland acres in 2022, reducing the need for a huge amount of synthetic fertilizer, and generating about $50 million in 2022 revenue for Pivot Bio. Even if you don't know much about agriculture, I promise this conversation is a comprehensible and riveting one that showcases the potential for biotechnology to slow climate change, clean up the environment, and produce more food with fewer resources. Discussed in this episode Lisa and Paul both endorse The Alchemy of Air by Thomas Hager. Lisa recommends reading The Infinite Game by Simon Sinek as well as The Five Dysfunctions of a Team and The Advantage (both by Patrick M. Lencioni). Paul recommends Resetting the Table by Rob Paarlberg, who we had on this show! More about Lisa Nunez Safarian Lisa Nunez Safarian leads commercial, manufacturing, and product development at Pivot Bio. Dedicating her career to advancing agriculture and helping farmers achieve better outcomes, Lisa oversees the day-to-day operations to ensure we are meeting the nitrogen needs of our customers. Prior to joining Pivot Bio, Lisa held several leadership positions at Bayer and Monsanto. Most recently, she served as President, Crop Science North America for Bayer where she launched innovative technologies and go-to-market strategies that grew the business. Before this role, Lisa served as Vice President, North America for Monsanto where she was responsible for strategy, execution, and commercial transformation of the $12B U.S., Canada, and Latin America North seeds, traits, licensing and crop protection businesses.

We have all experienced working with people who cause us to experience excess stress. This is often considered normal in corporate America. But as business owners, we get to choose who we want to work with. So if you have a client who is draining you or you struggle to show up for them with enthusiasm and excitement, you shouldn't ignore this. I'm going to give you some pieces of advice that have helped me in these situations and allowed me to be okay saying no to clients, even when that also means saying no to a lot of money.   * Find The Advantage by Patrick M.

It's not easy to stay on top of your game. In fact, most teams fall into a complacent trap where they stop trying to improve and stagnate.  As a leader, it's important to fight against complacency and always be looking for ways to improve both yourself and your team. I host Leslie Kass, CEO of Lewis Tree Service, one of the largest providers of utility vegetation management services in North America, who shares an essential strategy to stay sharp and fight complacency. They are 100% employee-owned with approximately 4,000 employees in the U.S. and Canada providing a wide range of vegetation management services and expertise including around-the-clock utility line clearing and outage response resources.  Leslie has 28 years of experience in the industrial and energy spaces including serving as CEO of Babcock & Wilcox, a publicly- traded 150-year-old power generation and environmental equipment company and Executive Vice President of TC Energy. Leslie has an undergraduate degree in Materials Science and Engineering from MIT and an MBA from Duke University's Fuqua School of Business. She currently serves on the board of Bruce Power nuclear facility (the largest nuclear generation site in the world). Leslie is a U.S. citizen and a permanent resident of Canada and has held Top Secret level security clearances in both countries associated with her work in nuclear energy. LinkedIn Profile https://www.linkedin.com/in/lesliekass (https://www.linkedin.com/in/lesliekass) Company Link: https://lewistree.com (https://lewistree.com) What You'll Discover in this Episode: What's it like having top secret clearance in two countries. How you become a trailblazing leader. What she's learned as the first female engineer in so many of her jobs -- at her first employer, as engineering manager in a large nuclear power plant, and CEO of a 150-year-old industrial company.  How you can identify great advocates in your career. A key strategy to fight complacency on your team. The one trait she'd instill in every employee and why. What's it like leading a company that's 100% employee owned. A twist in her career that led to her success down the road. How an executive coach was helpful in her career. Two songs every leader needs on their playlist. The helpful tool she uses every day.

Du bist unzufrieden mit deinem Job und weißt nicht so recht warum? Dann gebe ich dir ein paar Gründe zum Nachdenken!Es gibt in jedem Beruf und in jeder Tätigkeit einen Moment, wo man nur kotzen möchte. Wo man sich mal kurz ne Minute Zeit nimmt und überlegt, auf welcher Job-Seite man noch einen aktiven Account hat. Aber meist verfliegt diese schlechte Laune so schnell wieder, wie sie gekommen ist - und die Jobwelt ist wieder in Ordnung. Aber was, wenn die Unzufriedenheit täglich mehr wird? Und die Jobportale einfach, sei es wegen wirtschaftlicher Lage oder da dein Profil aktuell nicht gesucht wird, partout keine neue Option für dich ausspucken wollen? Dann lieber mal analysieren, warum dein Job dich aktuell nicht zufriedenstellt! Kann man mal machen - aber 52 Wochen hintereinander? / Bild-/Quelle: privat Wenn dies nicht der erste Blog ist, den du von mir liest, kennst du den ersten Punkt, den man sich genauer ansehen sollte: die eigene Führungskraft. Hier mein immer wiederkehrendes Mantra, dass die Realität in einem Satz abbildet: Die Leute kommen wegen der Firma und gehen wegen der Führungskraft. Hast du gerade was mit deinem Chef? Ist aus einem guten Chef über Nacht ein ewiger Nörgler geworden - und keiner weiß, warum? Oder hast du nach fünf, sechs Jahren mit einer Jahresbewertung, die nahe an der beliebten Schulnote 1,0 hängt, plötzlich und ohne weitere Angaben eine 4 oder noch schlechter bekommen? Klappt es mit der Kommunikation nicht mehr und dein Chef mault nur noch rum oder entwickelt sich gerade zu einem, sorry, aber jeder weiß, was ich meine, wenn ich den Namen nenne, Stromberg? Gründe gibt es derer viele, warum Chef von Superheld zu Superarsch in nur einer Nacht mutiert: einschneidende Erlebnisse wie ein, vielleicht sogar erneutes, Übergehen auf dem Weg nach oben auf der Karriereleiter, was nun seine demotivierende Funktion in voller Breite entfaltet. Vielleicht hat er auch Zwänge, den Job nicht wechseln zu können und sein Chef drangsaliert ihn bis aufs Äußerste? Vielleicht ist sein neuer Boss ein besonders harter Superheld, der jetzt Jahresziele in 30 Tagen sehen will und seine Drohkulisse beginnt direkt mit fristloser Kündigung? Mobbing kann auch immer ein Thema sein. Du kannst dich jetzt auf den Punkt stellen und sagen, er möge es nicht an dir auslassen. Legitim. Aber: hilft es dir weiter oder ärgert dich sein Verhalten dann nicht von Tag zu Tag oder sogar von Stunde zu Stunde noch mehr? Und so wird ein Wunsch-/Unternehmen, dem du die letzten Jahre oder sogar Jahrzehnte deine Zeit geopfert hast, plötzlich zu deiner größten Spucktütenverbrauchsrechnung? Wenn einem schon die Daumenschrauben so angezogen werden, kann man eines dieser diversen Gespräche auch mal mit der Frage des Wohlbefindens starten. Manchmal ist dieser kleine Handreich der Dammbruch, dann musst du aber auch damit leben, dass du vielleicht sogar mehr erfährst, als dir lieb ist. Und dann fällt es dir wahrscheinlich leichter, die aktuelle Situation und das Verhalten besser einzuschätzen. Dass Gesagtes im Vieraugengespräch unter diesen vier Augen bleibt, versteht sich von selbst, oder? Aber gehen wir mal davon aus, du leidest nicht unter einer schlechten Führungskraft oder einer völlig inkompetenten Quotenfrau - was könnten dann Gründe für deine Unzufriedenheit sein? Ein Grund, der immer kommt, ist fehlende Wertschätzung. Du rackerst dich ab, ziehst die Kohlen aus dem Feuer, holst neue Kunden und hältst bestehende, und der Dank ist, dass dein Kollege das Lob dafür bekommt. Oder, noch schlimmer: dass einfach niemand Lob dafür bekommt! Damit ignoriert man dein Engagement, dein Empowerment und auch dein Potenzial und deine Leistungen. Das löst Unzufriedenheit in einem aus, was in einem Teufelskreis endet, der einem sagt: Kein Mensch in dieser Firma braucht dich, keiner nimmt dich wahr. Die Steigerungsform davon ist, dass du glaubst, dass du problemlos ersetzbar bist. Ein weiterer Grund ist, dass du kein Benchmark hast, ob du erfolgreich bist oder einfach nur "fertig" mit deiner Arbeit bist. Du benötigst eine Selbstbestärkung, Lob vom Chef auch mal ein Schulterklopfen vom Kollegen und musst auch schwarz auf weiß sehen oder für dich selbst auswerten können, dass du hier einen Meilenstein erreicht hast. Wie willst du auf der Autobahn wissen, dass du da bist, wenn auf den Schildern schlichtweg nichts steht? Nur ein blaues Schild, alles Einheitsgröße, keine Pfeile, keine weißen Aufdrucke. Und das seit Stunden? Da kommen Zweifel, da kommt Langeweile, da kommt Gleichgültigkeit. Und mit der Gleichgültigkeit sinkt deine Motivation - und damit auch der Spaß, den dir dein Job bisher gemacht hat. Und ein dritter Grund ist, dass du merkst, dass deine Tätigkeit niemanden etwas bringt. Du schaffst also für das Unternehmen, deine Kollegen oder deinen Bereich keinerlei Mehrwert. Niemand braucht, was auch immer du für Ergebnisse erzielst, was du erforscht hast oder was du auf Basis deiner Ausbildung oder Studiums an Mehrwert für das Unternehmen bringen könntest. Du kannst also deine Ergebnisse aus dem Drucker direkt in den Streifenkopierer, also den Papierhäcksler, werfen. Spielt ja eh' keine Rolle. An irgendeiner Stelle dieser drei Gründe kommt immer der Einwand: Aber hey, ich habe einen Kollegen/Chef/Mitarbeiter, der allerdings gar nicht arbeiten will. Der keine Resultate bringt. Der keinen Wert auf mein Feedback oder ein Lob gibt. Der sich nichts sagen lässt, der sich bewusst isoliert und auch kein Interesse hat, mit Kollegen im Team tätig zu werden. Und, und, und - wie passt das auf vorstehende Aussagen? Ganz einfach: Vorstehende Gründe, von der Führungskraft über die Fehlbesetzung bis hin zu Ignoranz dir gegenüber, fehlendem Benchmark und Arbeit für den Papierkorb summieren sich und potenzieren damit deine Unzufriedenheit auf Job, Chef und Firma. Guck doch bei deinem Kollegen/Chef/Mitarbeiter, der kein Lob will, der nicht arbeiten will oder/und der einfach keine Ergebnisse bringt, mal genauer hin: Er wird nicht scheintot am Schreibtisch sitzen und nach exakt achteinhalb Stunden Leben einhauchen und nach Hause gehen. Mal den Internet-Verlauf oder die genauen Download- und/oder Upload-Zahlen prüfen. Spielt er online, vielleicht sogar gut, und hat das als seine Erfüllung? Oder schaut er zulasten eures Netzwerks Netflix leer? Vielleicht hat er über den Büroverteiler seine Zeitschriften aus dem Privatleben nun ins Berufliche verlagert und benötigt dafür Zeit? Oder hat er, vielleicht von einer früheren Tätigkeit, die goldene Miles&More-Karte und ist daher viel unterwegs, wenn auch die zugrundeliegende Mission unbekannt ist? Auch wurden Kollegen schon negativ konnotiert, weil keiner wusste, dass er sich vor Monaten freiwillig zur Zuarbeit für einen "befreundeten Bereich" gemeldet hat und nun hier aufgeht. Ebenso kenne ich die Hardliner, die nun mit dem Argument "Nicht geschimpft ist doch gelobt genug!" um die Ecke kommen. Aber auch diese Einstellung ist, gerade in der heutigen Zeit, zu kurz gedacht. Schon mal die Kosten für eine Neueinstellung inkl. Einarbeitungszeit durchgerechnet? Und jetzt drehen wir die drei Punkte mal um und sehen den Nutzen für das Unternehmen: Gut, wer wegen der Führungskraft geht, ging sowieso schon durch die Hölle, und wenn hier alle, inklusive des Vorgesetzten der schlechten Führungskraft zu Seite sehen, muss es so ein! Hier kann selbst ich keinen Nutzen für das Unternehmen schönreden. Der Punkt ist also außen vor! Was passiert, wenn ich für meine Arbeit zumindest "faire" Wertschätzung erhalte? Spaß an der Arbeit! Damit bemühen sich Mitarbeiter intrinsisch, gute Arbeit mit Mehrwert anzufertigen und abzugeben. Da bilden sich plötzlich Teams, die eigeninitiativ harte Nüsse knacken oder sich den ärgsten Konkurrenten mal so richtig vornehmen, um doch eine Schwachstelle zu finden. Da sind acht Stunden pro Tag nur das Warm-Up, wenn es brennt wird auch mal ein Wochenende durchgeschrubbt. Und man hat ein gemeinsames Ziel vor Augen, das Unternehmen weiterzubringen. Und dank eines Benchmarks, einer Skala, wie gut du arbeitest und wie gut du aktuell im Verlauf deiner Tätigkeit oder deines Projektes bist, hast du immer eine Rückmeldung zu deiner Arbeit. Das kann auch mal weh tun, aber das öffnet die Chance, auch mal nach Hilfe und Unterstützung oder auch nur Anleitung zu fragen. Und auch das hilft weiter. Und motiviert, dazuzulernen oder sich fortzubilden. In Summe steigt dann auch hier, selbst wenn es mal kein positives Feedback gibt, die Mitarbeiterzufriedenheit. Und, welche zwei weiteren positiven Effekte haben zufriedene und wertgeschätzte Mitarbeiter? Sie sparen Recruiting-Kosten, da sie aus dem eigenen Freundes- und Bekanntenkreis wiederum Leute in das Unternehmen bringen, die einen gewissen "Fit" bereits mitbringen. Und um auf die aktuellen Jobsituationen zu kommen: sie sind auch eher treu und springen nicht wegen Drei-Fuffzig von Firma zu Firma. Was, natürlich, primär Hochqualifizierte in dem Unternehmen hält. Natürlich gibt es noch mehr, als nur auf diese drei Punkte und den Vorgesetzten zu schauen. Aber im Kern, sind es genau die Schwerpunkte, die über ein tolles Unternehmen mit spannenden Aufgaben oder einem Menschenschinderladen unterscheiden. Es gibt zu dem Thema diverse Bücher, aber eines der besten ist von Patrick M. Lencioni und trägt den zum Thema passenden Titel "Die drei Symptome eines miserablen Jobs: Eine Fabel für Manager (und ihre Mitarbeiter)". Und da ich, wie ihr wisst, ein totaler amazon-Fan bin, habe ich euch den Link zu dem Buch gleich mal von da mit verlinkt. Zum Vertiefen. Und gerne auch, um meine Aussagen dagegenzuhalten. Und, falls es euch erwischt hat, zum Vertiefen, wie man wieder rauskommt. Oder, um sich in den Seiten zu freuen, dass man ein gutes Unternehmen erwischt hat. Und wer es noch deutlicher will, möge mein Lieblingsbuch zu dem Thema ansehen, das Frustjobkillerbuch (Link zu amazon). These: die Scheiße ist in jedem Unternehmen die Gleiche, warum also wechseln, wieder Gehaltsverhandlungen, wieder neue Kultur, wieder neue (dumme) Kollegen, wieder ein inkompetenter Chef, wieder eine unschlüssige Strategie, die zum Scheitern verurteilt ist - und schon wieder grüneres Gras bei einem weiteren neuen Unternehmen... In jedem Fall hoffe ich, dass ihr morgen, wenn der Wecker klingelt, motiviert aus dem Bett steigt und einen erfüllten Arbeitstag vor euch habt. Und wenn nicht, werft einen Blick auf die Links zu den Büchern, wer weiß, wo es euch dann als Nächstes hin verschlägt?

Frederik Fahning stammt aus einer Unternehmerfamilie und spielte schon früh mit dem Gedanken Unternehmer zu werden. Das spiegelt sich auch in unserem Gespräch wider. Mein Gast brennt für das Unternehmertum. Frederik ist Hamburger, hat jedoch schon überall in Deutschland gelebt. Nach seinem Abitur in seiner Heimat ging er zum Wehrdienst. Er begann Jura in Passau zu studieren, bevor er sich dazu entschloss, nach Köln zu ziehen, um dort Wirtschaftsrecht zu studieren. Nach seinem abgeschlossenen Studium zog er vor 6 Jahren nach Berlin. 2016 gründete er mit Fritz Trott und Cihan Aksakal Zenjob. Die Idee des Unternehmens ist es Studierende und Arbeitgeber zusammen zu bringen. Dabei geht es vor allem um Flexibilität. Innerhalb von 5 ½ Jahren wuchs das Zenjob-Team auf 300 Mitarbeitende und erzielt Umsätze im 8-stelligen Bereich. In dieser Folge sprechen wir über Arbeitsweisen, Gründungsideen, Unternehmenskultur und Investitionen. Diese Folge wurde in HQ Remote aufgenommen: www.podcast-inkubator.de Erwähnungen: Bill Gates - Unternehmer Patrick M.

Es bringt dir automatisch eine Nähe zu dem Thema und in gewissen Bereichen die Angst vor dem Gründen.“ 39:43 Frederik Fahning: „Bei einer Gründung geht es in erster Linie ums Team.“ 46:12 Frederik Fahning: „Wir bringen Unternehmen und Menschen zusammen, wie es das in dem Bereich vorher nicht gab.“ 1:21:20 Frederik Fahning: „Wir haben auch bei uns ein relativ saisonales Geschäft. Q4 ist immer sehr stark, was die Anfrage von Unternehmen angeht. Das Jahresende und Weihnachten sind hoch. Nach den Inventuren in Q1 sinkt die Nachfrage.“ 1:28:20 Frederik Fahning: „Wir waren unbekannt und keine Brand. Wir haben über Networking und normale Stellenausschreibungen Personal gefunden. Ich glaube, das ist eine Mischung aus Abenteuerlust, mal zu sehen, wie es ist, wenn alles unbefleckt ist, und der Möglichkeit in einem Start-up Strukturen mit aufzubauen.“ 1:31:10 Frederik Fahning: „Seriosität gepaart mit Selbstironie ist wichtig. Für uns war es von Anfang an wichtig eine Kultur zu prägen, die das zulässt.“ 1:34:55 Frederik Fahning: „Beim Hiring gibt es immer ein Founder-Interview. Wir sind Bestandteil des Hiring und gucken uns an, ob die Person zu unserer Firmenkultur passt. Dabei wollen wir keine homogene Maße. Kultur heißt Menschen zu finden, die gerade nicht so sind. Du brauchst eine Einheit, die aber keine verschworene Gemeinschaft ist.“ 1:39:30 David: „Die aktuelle Generation ist nicht nur auf der Suche nach einem Job oder einem super Lebenslauf.

E29: Natalie Putnam is Chief Executive Officer at DeliveryCircle  DeliveryCircle is a proprietary technology-based same-day delivery solution provider providing a technology platform for final mile fleets.     Natalie has more than 30 years in the logistics industry and has served as the Chief Commercial Officer at Verst Logistics and other senior leadership positions at YRC Worldwide, Ryder Systems, Kansas City Railroad. Her leadership was put to the test at YRC Worldwide when the troubled trucking company sought her leadership to reduce turnover of their 600+ sales force during an economic downturn that threatened the company with bankruptcy.   Natalie is a member of the advisory boards of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, AWESOME Leaders, and the American Logistics Aid Network (ALAN). She earned her undergraduate degree from Central Michigan University. Natalie's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/natalieputnam/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/natalieputnam/) DeliveryCircle: https://www.deliverycircle.com/ (https://www.deliverycircle.com/) WHAT YOU DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE: The question Natalie asked led to her choosing a business career. How to communicate directly and respectfully. How to increase communication effectiveness. The question that helps you set your sights higher and accelerate your career. What it was like working in Jimmy Hoffa's “local” for her first big job. What it was like being one the first women in management at her company. Sales stories from 8 Mile in Detroit (yes, the same place as Eminem hails from) The single strategy that boosts your team's productivity. A personal example of the shadow-side of stress. The hardest layoff Natalie ever had to make. How to summon your courage. The “finger print” strategy to get your big idea accepted by the C-Suite. Strategies to conquer impost syndrome. Why you should add music to your meeting. HIGHLIGHTS: Advice for underrepresented groups in C-Suite: Discard the fear. If you want to lead, then lead. Be female but compete on competence. Show up with gravitas. Lower voice has more command. What traits Natalie is looking for when hiring new people: They need to be ambitious, eager and passionate. Be humble. Be smart emotionally and intelligently. How employees should communicate their big ideas: You should socialize it with someone else before bringing it to the meeting. Your big idea is not about making a name for yourself but making the company better. Tweak your ideas and let other people put their fingerprints on it.

We all want to generate a ton of motivated seller leads, but using radio? Yes, radio may feel a bit antiquated, but according to Chris Arnold, most real estate owners are over 50 years old and still listen to the radio. According to https://www.radioworld.com/news-and-business/programming-and-sales/radio-listening-audiences-rebound-despite-pandemic-impact (Nielsen), even beyond Chris’ expertise, radio listening is on the rise, and people are tuning in with greater frequency to news/talk formats. Those with greater spending optimism are more likely to be heavy AM/FM radio listeners. Radio advertising provides high-quality leads, as the people who take action and call you are serious about doing a deal. And since most investors are using the other strategies where they are less qualified or serious about doing a deal, it could be more efficient for you and your team. Chris is the owner of Wholesaling Inc and the creator of the REI Radio program. He works with clients to get 100 ads per month, per station, for about $1,000 to $2,000 per month. Chris shares tips on leveraging radio to find real estate deals and why radio is the best marketing, yet most overlooked, solution for real estate investors.  Key Insights: Chris’ real estate journey  Why virtual real estate was the way to go, even before COVID The 3 Freedoms we all want: Freedom of resources, freedom of time, freedom of thought, freedom of location  The solution provider approach to real estate investing The two categories of lead generation Why radio is the perfect channel for real estate investors Reaching the prime audience of people aged 50+  The cost of using radio is one of the most affordable marketing The mistake most people make when advertising on radio  How to analyze a radio advertising buy  If you buy marketing right, you will net a high ROI Negotiating radio advertising rates How you obtain immediate leads advertising on the radio The two main things you get with radio marketing that you don’t get anywhere else Radio is a respective form of marketing that provides you instant credibility and celebrity status Radio marketing is excellent for new real estate investors Generating motivated seller leads without the headaches  How radio instills recognition and trust for you and your business Radio is a great way to generate off-market leads What type of real estate investors should use radio advertising The process to follow for successful radio marketing The best way to handle radio live leads The ROI of radio marketing compared to other channels The most competitive radio markets and how to differentiate yourself Transitioning from success to significance What marketers like about radio Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it’s time to pause and reflect.

The Connected Yoga Teacher Podcast 166: When & How to Hire a VA (virtual assistant) with Sandra Booker   Description: Running a yoga business is more than just teaching yoga classes. From scheduling and collecting payments, to sales and marketing, to promotion and logistics, we may find ourselves needing help with different elements of running a business. That's where a Virtual Assistant (VA) can come in handy, but where do we start?   Sandra Booker is the founder of Any Old Task, where she provides small business owners with Business Support and Assistant Services. She specializes in workflow and process review, and helps streamline business processes and develop efficient workflows to keep things organized and on track. She also helps startup VAs generate the same kind of raving clientele she enjoys in her own business as part of her work at VA Studio.    Do you really need a VA or you need to look at your own productivity?

Der erste Podcast-Streit hat stattgefunden. Darauf aufbauend widmen Dr. Simone Burel & Jan Roskosch eine ganz Folge der spannenden Frage nach Sinn und Unsinn von Diskurs und Konflikt. Wie geht es, sich im Business zu streiten? Wie funktioniert es nicht? Warum sollte sich jede*r mal entschuldigt haben - selbst beim Pizzakarton oder dem Hähnchenschenkel? Tiefgreifende Lebensweisheiten gibt es - wie immer - im Sensations-Podcast von Entrepreneur Infernale. Seelen-Striptease für Unternehmer*innen. Im Podcast sprechen wir über das https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard-Konzept (Havard-Konzept), die https://drfemfatale.de/leistungen/workshops/womanomics/ (Workshops von Dr. Fem. Fatale), das https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuckman's_stages_of_group_development (Tuckman-Phasenmodell) und zwei der fünf Dysfunktionen eines Teams nach Patrick M. Lencioni.

We’ve heard a lot of stories on ScaleUp Radio over the past few episodes, of people starting their business after working for the family firm, or leaving university and stumbling into a career - but William Copley from Armstrong Bell did none of those things. He went to New York and signed a 3-album deal with a major record company. Thankfully, for his clients at least, the music dream didn’t last and now Will runs Armstrong Bell -  a telecommunications company with a staff of 16. Listening to Will, you’ll hear that it’s not been an easy journey to get to this point, but he’s managed to create a company that has it’s own identity in a busy marketplace. As always on ScaleUp Radio, there was a lot of ground covered, including:  - What separates Armstrong Bell from the other telecommunications companies that are out there?  - How best to divorce a business partner, and particularly about buying them out of the business. Is there a “right” way to do it?  - Identifying the best process to remove yourself from the day to day business operations - without losing your feel for the business. Will employed a Business Manager - Rob - and the two of them shaped how the business should run, and how Will could take a step back from the day-to-day tasks.  - How big a part imagination should play in the growth of your business  - Why failing quickly is an important lesson to learn Will is very deliberate in his answers, but what’s refreshing is his desire to keep learning, keep growing - and not stand still. I think you’re going to enjoy this one. This is also the last episode of 2019. Don’t worry, there’s more to come in 2020, but we’re taking a couple of weeks off for Christmas. So, thank you for listening to ScaleUp Radio in 2019 and here’s wishing you a successful festive period.

Do you struggle with wanting to improve your Leadership skills or develop personally to be a better leader? On this episode of Coffee Break, Chad Lingafelt shares the 5 books that helped him develop personally and the impact it had on the way he leads our organization. Book 1: Turn the Ship Around - L. David Marquet Turn the Ship Around! is the true story of how the Santa Fe skyrocketed from worst to first in the fleet by challenging the U.S. Navy's traditional leader-follower approach. Struggling against his own instincts to take control, he instead achieved the vastly more powerful model of giving control. No matter your business or position, you can apply Marquet's radical guidelines to turn your own ship around. The payoff: a workplace where everyone around you is taking responsibility for their actions, where people are healthier and happier, where everyone is a leader. Book 2: Powerful - Patty McCord McCord advocates practicing radical honesty in the workplace, saying good-bye to employees who don’t fit the company’s emerging needs, and motivating with challenging work, not promises, perks, and bonus plans. Her road-tested advice, offered with humor and irreverence, provides readers a different path for creating a culture of high performance and profitability. Powerful will change how you think about work and the way a business should be run. Book 3: Radical Candor - Kim Scott The idea is simple: You don't have to choose between being a pushover and a jerk. Using Radical Candor—avoiding the perils of Obnoxious Aggression, Manipulative Insincerity, and Ruinous Empathy—you can be kind and clear at the same time. Radical Candor is about caring personally and challenging directly, about soliciting criticism to improve your leadership and also providing guidance that helps others grow. It focuses on praise but doesn't shy away from criticism—to help you love your work and the people you work with. Book 4: The 5 Dysfunctions of a Team - Patrick M. Lencioni Lencioni's utterly gripping tale serves as a timeless reminder that leadership requires as much courage as it does insight. Throughout the story, Lencioni reveals the five dysfunctions which go to the very heart of why teams even the best ones-often struggle. He outlines a powerful model and actionable steps that can be used to overcome these common hurdles and build a cohesive, effective team. Book 5: Traction - Gino Wickman Do you have a grip on your business, or does your business have a grip on you? In Traction, you’ll learn the secrets of strengthening the six key components of your business. You’ll discover simple yet powerful ways to run your company that will give you and your leadership team more focus, more growth, and more enjoyment.

There is something to be said about a person that gives of their time and resources to help others. Alicja Colon is a great example of such a person. In her interview with Passion Behind The Art Show creator, Darold Pinnock, she discusses her freelance journey. She is a 15-year veteran artist and the creator of Thrice Studio. This interview addresses her inspiration to branch out on her own stems from her desire to help others. Her main motivation is her family and her desire to, in her words, “Take care of my family the way they need me to take care of them.” Her heart can be felt as she discusses her desire to be emotionally healthy and available for her three kids. She talks about having the time to assist her middle daughter, who has a mild form of dyslexia with her reading. She describes seeing her child advancing is “more rewarding than any project I can probably ever land.” Alicja is also motivated to help her workers. She views working as being redemptive and giving others second and third chances to do so, hence the name Thrice. The company’s Mission Statement reads: We exist to help people become a better version of themselves via creative work. This is a place where the underprivileged and underrepresented are welcomed and nurtured. Take a listen as she discusses how God plays a role in how she runs her company. Be inspired and she touches on how we undercharge ourselves and steps that can be taken to know what you’re worth.

Hi everyone! In this Tip of the Day episode, I'm talking about a book that I recently read called The Ideal Team Player: How to Recognize and Cultivate The Three Essential Virtues by Patrick M. Lencioni. This book was recommended in the Facebook group and I finally got the chance to read through it, and I really found a ton of awesome nuggets of information. I value reading good leadership books to grow as a group practice owner, and so anytime I read an amazing book, I like to give that recommendation out to other group practice owners so that you can use that time to read a little bit and learn how to lead a little bit better! In the episode, I discuss: three things to look for to find your ideal team players (therapists, employees, admins, etc.): hungry, humble, and smart a summary of the book how to tell if someone is hungry, humble, and smart in your group practice how to apply these ideas specifically to a group practice setting an exercise to map out where your current team players fall in these categories what I got out of the book This episode is sponsored by TherapyNotes. TherapyNotes is an EHR software that helps behavioral health professionals manage their practice with confidence and efficiency. I use TherapyNotes in my own group practice and love its amazing support team, billing features, and scheduling capabilities. It serves us well as a large group practice owner.

Do you have people that show up inspired by your vision? Questions to ask yourself as you build a business and a legacy that stands for excellence in the field. Kris welcomes the Director of Marketing and Child Care Extraordinaire Sindye Alexander, who started out as a client and then grew her center in Michigan from the beginning of doing home daycare. They talk about how Sindye started the business as a way to earn income while spending time with her kids, the impact culture has on both its own business and the community around it, and a peek into her brand new book Relationship Roadmap, chock full of strategies on how to create a culture of excellence.   Key Takeaways: [4:53] The holiday season can be one of joy and merriment, but it can also be a struggle. Kris reminds us that we aren’t alone, and on the Child Care Success website, you can find ways not only to grow your business but also to work on your mindset and live a happier life. [8:28] Sindye started in child care after having her first daughter and seeing how much she was making a difference in the families around her. She combined her business savvy and high-value childcare skills into making a full-blown new career for herself and it wasn’t long before she was full and turning clients away. She then opened a small center which filled up and moved up to a larger center licensed with a capacity of 120. [12:25] Sindye loves her job as the Director of Marketing and sees it an opportunity to impact and touch as many lives as possible. [14:52] Sindye shares the most heartwarming and adorable (sorry Sindye’s husband!) story about how a school dance in 1988 led to them being each other’s soul mates for life. [19:54] Culture affects everything from the turnover of staff and employee hiring and retention to corporate engagement. Sindye explains how quality care in our teachers affects emotional aspects, financial opportunities, and even a child’s brain development. [24:13] If you have a positive and caring culture in your childcare environment, your team will be helpful and positive. They will be solution based, and excited to contribute because of a mutual trust and respect. [26:48] It takes time to develop a collaborative culture but there are some steps to begin right away. Sindye’s answer might not be super popular or easy to hear — the culture reflects the leadership. Also, no matter what level of status an employee has, they could always actively strive to communicate in an approachable and positive way. [30:02] It is important for leaders to be aware of how they communicate with their team, their mindset, and how they manage stress effectively. [36:36] While the staff will probably eat all the donuts you get them, Sindye shares that real inspiration comes providing structure and a strong foundation. Appreciation and connection are two huge things that cost no money but make a big difference. [47:38] Sindye recommends finding a financial advisor to help you, no matter where you are in your journey. [53:08] Sindye defines a child care rockstar as someone that works to positively impact the early years, and in turn, makes a lifelong difference.   Mentioned in This Episode: Kris Murray Child Care Marketing Solutions Child Care Success Academy Child Care Success Summit Patrick M.

Mate Kostovski je osnivač i CEO tvrtke Lemax, jedne od uspješnih domaćih tvrtki za koje se ne čuje - ili se nije čulo sve donedavno dok nisu sklopili posao najvećeg hrvatskog izvoza u području turizma ikad, s agencijom Asian Trails koja pokriva jugoistočnu Aziju, što je 28-godišnjoj tvrtki ujedno i najveći posao do sada, te odskočna daska za globalnu prisutnost. Mate je svoju firmu i posao gradio postepeno, vrlo rano se orjentiravši na softver za turističke agencije, te je nakon više desetljeća sada došao do razine gdje može pričati o globalnom i trajnom, konzistentnom uspjehu. Inače inženjer, Mate se također vrlo rano orjentirao k tome da je prodaja najvažniji dio posla, te smo s njim nadugo pričali upravo o tome - kako razmišljati i kako predstaviti svoj proizvod nekome, te kako postupati na duge staze.

Today's Guest is Joel Kessel, of Kessel Communication and he is a public relations professional. "I am the founder of Kessel Communications (http://kesselcommunications.com/), a strategic communications agency that simply helps businesses communicate better. By doing this, we help companies strengthen their credibility, build positive reputations and increase brand awareness. I’m blessed with an incredible team of consulting partners that is dedicated to every client we are fortunate to partner with and serve. I provide thoughts, ideas, tips and advice on how you can get your story in front of those who matter to your organization. A main focus of my content is on working with media reporters so you can get consistent coverage and awareness about your product, service or organization." - Joel Kessel Key Takeaways Go through a basic marketing/communications assessment. Don't let the project fall on one person's shoulders. Include everyone. "People support what they help create." It's best to share information, be helpful, and then find a solution. Take a step back and focus on everything that is on your plate. "If I like you I'll listen to you, if I trust you I'll do business with you."  “A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labor and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always appears to be doing both.” ~ L.P.
