 The new year is right around the corner, and for many people that means setting new goals, but have you considered setting new goals for your career? At the intersection of goal setting and productivity, you will find a successful career path that you can start down today. In today’s episode, Thom Singer is joined by author and executive consultant Dr. Mary Kelly to discuss how to plan your career, how to set goals, and how to move forward to execute those goals. She shares some of the reasons that planning your career goals can be difficult, how to combat the obstacles that are keeping you from the career you want and action items that will get you where you want to be, starting with just five minutes.    On today’s podcast, you will learn about:   Common career planning mistakes  Too many people don’t focus on networking, which results in a limited understanding from others about what you do.  Keep your supervisors and peers up to date about the work that you are doing. It is your professional duty to communicate clearly with others about the work that you are doing. Take ownership of your career path by clearly defining your goals. Run a cost-benefit analysis of the work you are doing and what you want out of your career.  If you want to advance your career, stop thinking about yourself and start thinking about other people.   How to set the right career goals Identify the work that you want to do by shadowing leaders in your field.  Solicit constructive criticism and take action accordingly.  Make your boss a partner in your career path.  Delegate the work that you don’t need to be doing to free up more time to spend on strategic career planning.  Contact three people a month to solicit advice from the smart people in your network.    How to meet your goals If you want to accomplish something, put it on your calendar, not your to-do list.  Identify the obstacles that might get in your way and brainstorm a solution for every obstacle. Set small action items that you know you will accomplish.  Review your efforts monthly and pinpoint the work that you still need to do to meet your goals.  Find people that you can be accountable to make a habit out of your goal.  Write down action items that you can cross off your list.  Organize your time and identify what you can accomplish in just five minutes.    Do you have an example of extraordinary efforts or innovation during these unprecedented times? We would love to hear your story and possibly interview you for an upcoming episode. Please reach out to us at www.DigitalEnterpriseSociety.org   Productive Leaders 2021 Success

Sometimes you have a conversation with someone who reminds you of what’s important in life, of the huge impact you can create, and that you can achieve more than what you believed was possible. My chat with today’s guest, was one of those conversations for me. So, if you are setting out to achieve a big goal, or have a challenge in front of you, or are wanting to go beyond what you thought was possible, then this episode is for you. I recently sat down with a sporting superstar and Australian Survivor competitor, Mat Rogers. Few players have achieved as much as Mat has in both Rugby League and Rugby Union, setting records for the highest points scored in a match, in both league and union, as well as the most points scored in league for an entire career and for a session. He also made it to the final 12 on this year’s Australian Survivor, and by doing so, he once again become an inspiration and role model for thousands of Aussies. After he and his wife, Chloe Maxwell, went public in 2009 about their son with autism, they founded the charity, 4ASDkids as a way to change the lives of families with children battling with an Autism Spectrum Disorder by assisting them to access the early intervention treatment that they believe is critical to giving these kids the best chance at leading a normal life and reaching their full potential. They also have an upcoming documentary, MaxingOut, which follows 3 celebrities on a journey to their first ever Iron Distance Triathlon. This documentary mirrors the struggle of everyday challenges dealing with a child with Autism. This chat was incredibly inspiring for me, and I know it will be for you too. Mat shared about: * What he learnt from being on Australian Survivor * How he developed his drive, tenacity and determination * What it's like being a role model * Living with authenticity and character, and being values driven * Achieving beyond what you think is possible * Raising a child with ASD * Creating the charities 4ASDKids and Maxing Out * The power of creating the right team and support network around you * If you put the right people around you, you can get through anything * Re-thinking masculine roles * What Mat has learnt from raising Max * The power of taking your eyes of yourself and putting it on to other people * Saving your best for your best Contact Mat on facebook and instagram, https://4asdkids.gofundraise.com.au, and https://www.maxingout.tv Mat’s challenge for the week: go all week without saying anything negative. Instead, use positive language and focus on what you do want, not what you don’t want.

RJ and I talk about the early success of LEAD Palestine, the organization he began to teach leadership to youths that most of the world abandoned in Palestine.Where their environment made it natural to respond with hopelessness and what comes from it---desperation to the point of aspiring to blow oneself up---RJ is bringing social and emotional development to create hope themselves.They happen to have been born into a world where leadership meant in politics authoritarianism and militarism, which bled into personal relationships. Nobody taught alternatives and those who acted on those models succeeded, however much at others' costs.RJ is teaching an effective style of leadership built on personal skill. I can't help but imagine a lot of it came from my class, though, obviously he deserves the overwhelming credit for implementing it. Though the class he took with me was social entrepreneurship, that semester, several students showed great interest and initiative and I'd stay after class to teach and coach leadership exercises, sometimes for hours. Among those students, RJ stood out.I also ask him about his personal role as a student barely older than the people he's helping, as well as his personal challenge of avoiding plastic bottles.For a self-aware, thoughtful, active leader, the modest personal challenge increased his mindfulness, activity, awareness at no cost in time, money, or other resource.

Co-hosts Jan Rutherford and Jim Vaselopulos interview Mary Kelly, CEO at Productive Leaders.  They speak with Mary about the challenges of leadership in industry, and what happens when a leader tries too hard to be liked. They also discuss how employees perceive leaders differently than leaders perceive themselves. They discuss accountability, fairness, consistency, and mentoring. They end with a discussion on motivation, happiness, and contributors to depression. Listen in to learn more about steps leaders can take today to build trust and accountability in their organization.   Key Takeaways [3:23] Productive leadership is hard, with competing demands from above and below. In the military, everyone wants to lead; to be productive. In many cases in business, we take the enjoyment out of being a leader. We’ve made it difficult to be a leader. If leaders make mistakes, they get fired. Some ineffective leaders put themselves first, and lack compassion. [6:34] Simon Sinek did a video on Millennials, whose parents wanted to be liked instead of being respected. Jim says, being respected is hugely important. If you care about people, they will like and respect you. Mary says, they like you, until you make a decision that is not in their best self-interests, and then they don’t like you — but, if you made a fair decision, they will still respect you. [8:38] For Peter Stark and Mary Kelly’s recent book, Why Leaders Fail, they studied over 100K employee surveys from over 10 years, used that data, and crafted a survey for the employee’s bosses. They received 1,000 survey responses. The responses exposed a large disconnect between the bosses’ thoughts and the employees’ perceptions of what was happening. [9:28] The book observes seven common leadership failures: (1) lacking vision and clear goals, (2) sabotaging trust, (3) self-interest, (4) unfairness and inconsistency, (5) not understanding how to build a team, (6) wanting to be liked instead of respected, and (7) turning confidence into arrogance. This last failure stirs the most emotion. [15:55] Hold people accountable for their actions, for what they do, as well as for what they don’t do. Encourage them to take initiative, even if it means risk. The right risks are acceptable. Make sure people are doing their job. Don’t just go to your go-to person and let others skate. Assign jobs consistent with people’s job responsibilities, and then hold them accountable. [20:12] Jan talks about succession planning throughout the organization. People want to know what their path is, and that there is a concerted effort to develop their skills for their future aspirations. Mary sees some who come into an organization for a specific job, want to do it well, and not to be promoted. Leaders will recognize where individuals can do their best work. [24:23] Big companies in many ways have outsourced the risk-taking to startups; and if they’re successful, then they absorb them, destroying the startup culture. Big companies just aren’t good at taking risks. Risk is the path to growth. [26:36] Jan quotes Dan Pink and Frederick Herzberg about motivators. Mary says attracting top talent is critical for every organization. The happy medium between Herzberg and Pink is that people are individuals. Everyone needs different motivators. Most people leave jobs because of their boss or coworker. They knew what the job and salary were when they walked in the door. [31:30] Mary believes in strength-based jobs. Don’t “work on” weaknesses. Develop existing strengths. Student report cards with five A’s, but consistent D’s in Economics, give awesome clarity. It means their strength is not in Economics, but in the A subjects. They should not try to be economists. Employees with a project that they love, and have passion for, lead themselves. [40:16] Mary did a study on happiness vs. the need to feel valued. The age group with the highest suicide rate is people over 85, because they feel as though nobody cares, and they’re not valued. The next group is 45 to 65. They also feel they’re not valued. Being valued, needed, and feeling as though you are contributing, is the most important support we have for mental health.   Books Mentioned in This Episode Why Leaders Fail: And the 7 Prescriptions for Success, by Peter B. Stark and Mary C. Kelly Master Your World: 10 Dog-Inspired Leadership Lessons to Improve Productivity, Profits and Communication, by Mary C. Kelly Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us, by Daniel H. Pink The Motivation to Work, by Frederick Herzberg, Bernard Mausner, and Barbara Bloch Snyderman   Bio Raised in Texas, Mary Kelly is a graduate of the United States Naval Academy and spent over 20 years on active duty in intelligence and logistics. She retired from the Navy as a commander, has a Master’s degrees in history and economics, and a PhD in economics. With over 20 years combined experience at the Naval Academy, Hawaii Pacific University, and the Air Force Academy, she taught economics, finance, history and management. She has experience in business development, human resources, finance and organizational leadership. Mary has a track record of success as a leadership expert and executive coach. Mary’s sister and brothers were also in the military. Mary is the author of 11 books. She was once the Chief of Police, she makes her own wine, and she’s never played a video game.   Through her work in college teaching and in the military, Mary discovered the need to make the principles of leadership and communication available to all types of businesses. Her book, Master Your World, became a bestseller and launched her career as an author and speaker. After publishing additional books on leadership, productivity, communication, business growth, and organization, Mary desired to make leadership fun and fulfilling. Mary views conferences and events as a partnership, and she works to eliminate worry and uncertainty for her meeting professionals. Mary knows leaders today are developing talent, managing change, building teams, communicating across multiple platforms, and worried about profitability. Mary helps leaders and managers save time, reduce conflict, decrease absenteeism, resolve challenges, gain clarity, and make decisions that boost morale and productivity. “Great leadership can be learned.”   Website: ProductiveLeaders.com Website: 7PrescriptionsForSuccess.com for a free chapter (the Trust chapter) of the book, and a free 36-question leadership assessment to use with your team.
