The Mentally Strong Leader In this episode of Richer Soul, Scott Mautz, an acclaimed author, keynote speaker, and former Procter & Gamble executive shares powerful insights from his new book, The Mentally Strong Leader, focusing on how mental strength can be the leadership superpower that helps people overcome adversity and thrive in their personal and professional lives. The conversation touches on Scott's personal journey, the six “mental muscles” every leader needs, and the science behind building effective leadership habits. Key takeaways: Mental strength is the superpower that allows leaders to navigate challenges and lead with resilience. Cultivating mental strength requires building key habits that support confidence, fortitude, boldness, and clear communication. Leadership involves balancing confidence with humility to create an environment of trust. Reframing setbacks as learning opportunities strengthens mental fortitude. Leaders need to focus on long-term success and develop mental muscles that help them perform consistently. Money Learning: Scott shared his first major money lesson when he ran a pool-cleaning business as a high school student. He quickly realized that profitability hinges on a simple but often overlooked principle: your revenue must exceed your expenses. This early lesson in financial management taught Scott the importance of understanding costs and managing a business efficiently. Interestingly, Rocky pointed out that many adult business owners still struggle with this concept, underscoring the critical need for better financial literacy, both in personal and business contexts.

He introduces the concept of six “mental muscles” that leaders need to develop: fortitude, confidence, boldness, decision-making, goal-focus, and messaging. These are the pillars of mental strength, and they help leaders stay resilient in the face of adversity. Habit-Building Science: One of the key elements of Scott's approach is the idea of habit-building science. He explains how habits can shape behavior and how leaders can build mental strength by adopting practices that reinforce resilience and clear communication. For example, reframing setbacks as opportunities to learn is a habit that strengthens fortitude over time. Confidence with Humility: Scott points out the importance of balancing confidence with humility. While confidence is necessary for effective leadership, it must be tempered with a willingness to listen and adapt. This balance creates a culture of trust and respect within a team, which is essential for long-term success. Reframing Setbacks: Scott shares practical strategies for reframing setbacks, an essential habit for mental strength. Leaders often face challenges, and those who can view these moments as learning experiences rather than failures build resilience. This mindset shift is crucial for staying positive and proactive in difficult times. The Power of Messaging: Effective communication is one of the core “mental muscles” Scott talks about. He explains that leaders need to send clear, purposeful messages to their teams. This requires intentionality, precision, and consistency. The ability to convey the right message at the right time can make all the difference in motivating and leading a team.

“Mental strength is the leadership superpower of our time,” says Scott Mautz, a distinguished author, keynote speaker, former Procter & Gamble senior executive, and founder and CEO of Profound Performance. This week, he joins Mike Horne to delve into the essence of leadership and mental strength, offering timely and transformative insights from his latest book, “The Mentally Strong Leader.” Highlighting six core mental muscles—fortitude, confidence, boldness, decision-making, goal focus, and messaging—Scott reveals the critical components for effective leadership. His journey from managing multi-billion dollar brands at Procter & Gamble to becoming a thought leader in human capital offers a rich perspective on what distinguishes great leaders. Extensive research involving over 3,000 executives underscores the importance of these mental muscles. Mental strength, Scott argues, transcends emotional intelligence by encompassing a broader range of skills vital for leadership. He also touches on creating meaning in work, a central theme in his earlier book, “Make It Matter.” In a world where business challenges are constant and complex, understanding and building mental strength can make all the difference. Scott's insights provide practical strategies and a fresh perspective on what it takes to lead effectively and thrive personally. This episode is an invaluable resource for those looking to navigate and excel in the ever-evolving landscape of leadership. Quotes “My first book is called ‘Make It Matter.' It was about the importance of creating meaning in your work and at your job, and how to go about doing that. I believe that meaning is one of the great motivators of our time. Understanding how to create meaning, a sense of purpose, and a desire for employees to leave a legacy behind was something I was very interested in. That book led me straight into the early work I started doing on mental strength and understanding how mental strength intersects with great leadership, especially in times of adversity.” (04:55 | Scott Mautz) “Leadership often means it's no longer about you. It's about looking at things through the lens of your employees and those around you, helping them to deliver on their goals and the company's goals by helping them to learn and grow, and helping them to find meaning in their own work. That requires mental strength.” (08:06 | Scott Mautz) “Mental toughness is a part of mental strength. And now, to get into the next level down definition, mental strength really equates to you exercising and developing six core mental muscles. Those mental muscles are fortitude, confidence, boldness, decision-making, goal focus (your ability to stay focused on the goals and keep your organization focused on those goals), and messaging (your ability to stay positive-minded and engaged, even in the face of negativity, so you're sending a positive message to the troops).” (13:01 | Scott Mautz) Links Learn more about Mike Horne on Linkedin Email Mike at mike@mike-horne.com Learn More About Executive and Organization Development with Mike Horne Twitter: https://twitter.com/mikehorneauthor Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mikehorneauthor/, LinkedIn Mike's Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/6867258581922799617/, Schedule a Discovery Call with Mike: https://calendly.com/mikehorne/15-minute-discovery-call-with-mike Learn more about Scott Mautz: https://scottmautz.com/mentallystrong/ https://scottmautz.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottmautz/ https://www.facebook.com/ScottMautzPP Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

The Mentally Strong Leader: Build the Habits to Productively Regulate Your Emotions, Thoughts, and Behaviors by Scott Mautz https://amzn.to/3QeDkvJ Manage yourself internally so you can lead better externally Award-winning, bestselling author Scott Mautz defines mental strength as the ability to self-regulate emotions, thoughts, and behaviors to achieve exceptional outcomes, despite adversity. It's the leadership superpower of our times. Mentally strong leaders are confident and in control of themselves and their environment; they have endurance, are disciplined, and external stressors make their decision-making sharper. They're a safe port in a storm for their team. The Mentally Strong Leader gives readers a mental exercise plan to become such a leader. Readers will walk away with a menu of over 50 proven tools they can choose from to build a tailored set of habits in six areas that will make them mentally stronger: Fortitude Decision-making Confidence Goal-focus Boldness Messaging Inspired by Mautz's hit LinkedIn Learning course, “10 Habits of Mentally Strong People,” his 25 years leading some of Procter & Gamble's multi-billion-dollar businesses, and over 30 years of studying this topic, The Mentally Strong Leader relies on mental models, data and research, habit-building science, and practical tools and exercises to create enduring understandings for readers. Mautz begins with a compelling explanation of the power of mental strength, and offers a Mental Strength Self-Assessment. He finishes, as he has in his past titles, like Leading from the Middle, and Make it Matter, by providing a Mental Action Plan (MAP) to help readers create their own, tailored practice.

Scott Mautz, the celebrated author and keynote speaker, is well known for his competence in leadership training and the books he has authored, such as "Find the Fire," "Make It Matter," and "The Mentally Strong Leader". With a special focus on the mental strength aspect of leadership, Scott's perspective is shaped by his belief in the necessity of self-regulation of emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, to achieve productive outcomes despite unpredictable circumstances. In a rapidly evolving world marked by uncertainty, division, distraction, and fear, he emphasizes mental strength as an indispensable leadership superpower. The habits that underpin this strength, according to Scott, are vital for leaders to navigate challenges and lead effectively amidst adversity. His commitment to these principles is palpable in his coaching and training efforts, as well as in the wealth of free resources on his website. Here is some of what we discussed: - Mental Strength Defined: Mautz defines mental strength as the ability to self-regulate emotions, thoughts, and behaviors for productive outcomes, emphasizing its significance in today's uncertain and chaotic world. He highlights elements like fortitude, confidence, and positive messaging as key components of mental strength. - Impact of Remote Work: The shift to remote work has significantly impacted workplace dynamics, leading to increased insecurity and self-doubt among employees. Mautz discusses the challenges of maintaining connections and identity in a remote environment and the importance of self-assessment in building mental resilience. - Overcoming Indecision: Mautz addresses the prevalence of indecision in the workplace and its detrimental effects on productivity. He emphasizes the need to recognize one's baseline of mental strength and shares tools for overcoming indecision, such as setting time-bound parameters and accepting inevitabilities. - Decision-Making: How decision-making is a critical mental muscle for effective leadership. Mautz highlights common biases that affect decision-making, such as confirmation bias and sunk cost bias, and provides strategies for making informed and objective decisions. - Goal Focus: Maintaining focus on goals amidst distractions is essential for achieving success. Mautz introduces the concept of the "mental spotlight," a metaphorical tool for staying focused on priorities and avoiding distractions. He emphasizes the importance of simple habits in building mental strength and offers practical tips for enhancing goal focus.

If you're a leader who leads from the so-called messy middle, I'm sure there are times where you feel how the challenges you face are uniquely different from those other leaders have to face. As it turns out, those leading from the middle do face both unique challenges - as well as opportunities other leaders don't have access to - as a result of their having to lead down, up and at times, across the organization. Thankfully, in this episode of my podcast, “Leadership Biz Cafe”, I'll be speaking with a seasoned executive who's first hand experience and research has lead to a powerful and insightful playbook to help those who lead from the middle. Scott Mautz is not only a former Procter & Gamble senior executive, but he wrote a popular leadership column on Inc.com, serves as faculty at Indiana University's Kelley School of Business for Executive Education, and the CEO/founder of Profound Performance, a keynote, leadership training, and coaching company. Scott is also a good friend of mine who's written three books, his latest being the brilliant “Leading From The Middle - A Playbook For Mangers To Influence Up, Down, and Across The Organization." Over the course of this episode, Scott and I talk about his latest book “Leading From The Middle” where we look at: The 5 unique challenges those who lead in the middle face and how they can be transformed into opportunities for growth.The limitation that comes from a servant leadership mindset and what leaders in the middle need to adopt instead.The 7 skills those who lead in the middle need to adopt if they are to succeed as leaders.How those who lead in the middle can address the growing issue of employee burnout.A powerful model that will help leaders in the middle to gain more influence with their bosses. As I mentioned at the end of this episode, this year marks the 10th year of my leadership podcast, and it's been truly gratifying to have so many insightful guests on my show for such a milestone. And I'm sure it won't be surprising to hear this episode is one of my favourite conversations of this year because I not only got to talk about leadership with an insightful thought leader, but I got to talk to a good friend as well.

In this episode we talk about how to write a brief that actually serves the teams working on the project as a meaningful foundation and continued point of reference, and that also leads to results at the end of the process. We have been on the receiving end of some pretty bad briefs in our time, so we thought it was important to educate around the process of building an effective brief, and specifically what needs to be included vs. not. It takes time and energy in the short term, but fuels the process in a much smoother way for the long term success of any initiative. We share lots of personal experiences as well as a bit of an unexpected confession from Anne.

A Brand Story is a powerful tool when created and utilized properly - it is a key differentiator to any business' success. But unfortunately too many companies phone it in when it comes to their brand story or even worse...decide not to create one entirely. And at some point, it catches up to them in a bad way. In this episode, we discuss how to ensure you have the right Brand Story to set your foundation and the ability to use it as a lens for every decision your brand makes, leading to the ultimate brand and business success. Our example of a brand who leverages their Brand Story to the fullest is Moxy Hotels by Marriott.

Word-of-mouth (WOM) is the most coveted yet elusive channels of marketing for many. It is generated by a consumer who loves your brand so much they openly and frequently recommend you and talk about you to others. You can't buy your way into these authentic testimonials. You must earn them. For this episode, we invited Sue Frech, co-founder and CEO of Vesta , a digital community platform company, to discuss ways to generate WOM marketing.

Our ultimate goal in doing this episode is to shine a light on the realities of being a woman in business, so that women can approach their careers and lives with their eyes wide open. Many of these realities are highly controversial, so they are rarely talked about...especially within the walls of a company. Which means that sometimes we don't know we are losing the game until it is too late. And, yes, it is a game that we all must become competent players in to achieve our goals. But the one thing we will say over and over is that you need to do you. Stick to your truth, but do so with awareness. In this episode, we focus on sharing the things we wish people would have shared with us as we navigated our careers and build our personal brands.

Whether it is to cater to millennials, participate in socio-cultural based conversations, or show support in times of need, it seems like every brand has jumped into cause or purpose-based marketing. Which begs the question...am I missing out if I don't?

In this episode, we go into detail about these rules with lots of examples of brands who have done it well and some who have not done it so well.

“Leading from afar” has become a hot topic due to remote working environments. But even before our current situation mandated it, we have found that the very best type of leaders have the ability to do so from afar. This means giving their teams space and autonomy to do things their own way. And the benefit? They end up with higher performers and better results than those that micromanage. We call this Vigilant Leadership, meaning a leader is keeping careful watch over progress and results, but not involved and hands-on at every turn. In this episode, we speak to Vigilant Leadership best practices and how this can lead you to an entirely new level of success. We discuss John Mackey, Founder of Whole Foods, and how his practice of Vigilant Leadership resulted in business success and committed team members.

There is a mantra in the marketing and branding world that “Content is king”. And this couldn't be more true. From digital to more traditional written and programmatic ]to OTT (over-the-top), we are now surrounded by content. And the reason it is king? It is the ultimate differentiator for a business and a brand. Not only does it drive awareness by increasing touchpoints with your consumers, content that is consistently branded across platforms can disproportionately build credibility, reputation and trust. These are essential to build the emotional and mental connections to your customer which will compel them to choose you over and over again. In this episode, we share how to make this type of content which will deliver ROI and propel your business. We discuss how the brand Athleta leverages these attributes and also where they could do better versus their competition.

Focusing on your brand in order to build or maintain a successful business is more important now than ever. And we have unfortunately seen too many companies short change their brand given current business climates. So many excuses exist out there: 1) You will worry about brand later. 2) Brand is only for products. 3) It is what big businesses do. 4) It costs too much money. 5) To be clear, this is NOT the way to go about building or maintaining a successful business. In this episode, we will speak to the differentiation that a strong brand can bring and how it is tied to business results. We will also discuss Peloton, and the impact a powerfully brand-led business has transformed a commoditized market and beat out competitors while broadening their audience reach on a regular basis.

We come from the opposite sides of the proverbial marketing tracks, with Anne at P&G and April at several different agencies.
