Tired of what's happening in politics? Me too. I'm reposting an episode to remind us, we need to dream bigger — like Nazareth-big. I'm making the case for why my write-in vote this election would go to Mary, the mother of Jesus.Forget the mudslinging, the super PACs, and the endless superlatives — what we need in the Oval Office is the guts, grit, and grace of a woman who survived patriarchal oppression, political refugeeship, and raising the Savior of the world. (And did it all without a social media manager.)We'll explore how Mary's life experience — her leadership, her suffering, her faith — makes her more qualified than most modern candidates. Plus, I'll midrash a little, take a few playful swings at politics-as-usual, and offer a fresh vision for leadership rooted in compassion, courage, and relentless hope.Because honestly? We don't just need a President.We need a Mother.And Mary gets my vote.

In this robust and unfiltered conversation, veteran media personality Bhusan Dahal dives deep into the current Nepali political crisis, media censorship, and the state of leadership in Nepal. From the rise and fall of communism to the controversial Social Media Bill in Nepal, Bhusan Dahal shares his candid views on how the country has drifted away from accountability and progress. We explore the troubling misuse of media, the erosion of media ethics in Nepal, and how freedom of speech is increasingly under threat. Dahal opens up about the Tinkune riot, deepfake videos from recent monarchy protests, and whether Nepal's parliament is equipped to serve the people. He also critiques the lack of role models in Nepal and questions why our brightest minds are often overlooked. Could a directly elected PM be the change Nepal needs? What would a more competent and people-focused political system look like? Is cannabis legalization a potential path to revenue and reform? These are just a few of the bold ideas explored in this eye-opening discussion. If you're frustrated with where the nation is heading or curious about what real leadership should look like, this is a must-watch.

That doesn't necessarily lead to influence which is not manipulation or persuasion. This is why we need new rules. 2.    Lida divides the 10 rules into 4 groups. Courage is our “Why” and it's about being real. Credibility means being clear what we stand for. “Who” is now global and includes rules of being of service and inclusive. “How” is not about perfection but being consistent and that builds trust. “Where” is about visibility. 3.   Misalignment of our values can be part of the journey and gets us to where we are (Rule 3) We've all experienced this and we learn from them.

Cindy Esliger addresses the inevitability of workplace conflict by differentiating between using discernment over judgment to navigate the tension. Since workplaces are comprised of people and people each have their own struggles and lives going on unseen, tension is inevitable. Not taking things personally and approaching conflict with a desire to listen and get to the core issue are some of the strategies Cindy encourages us to adopt. As strange as it may seem to the conflict-avoidant, challenges aren't just inevitable, they're necessary. Challenges drive us to push the envelope, innovate, and keep the office interesting. It's how we go about disagreeing with each other that needs attention, not the fact that we do disagree. Cindy offers advice on how to step back from reacting personally to things that simply aren't personal and instructs us on how to approach healthy conflict that seeks true resolution. Leadership requires dealing with storms head-on. Tension must be acknowledged and the root cause must be unearthed so the tension can ultimately become a tool for growth. Leaders must learn how to address issues rather than letting them fester but also how to work for truth in resolution rather than rush to smooth things over with false comfort. Cindy guides us through learning discernment in conflict and holding back judgment until we can truly understand what a conflict is about. Her advice makes conflict less of a terrifying notion and more of an opportunity to learn. Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Reckoning With TensionAstronomic AudioConfidence Collective—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email

True leadership is Christian leadership because only Christian leaders are guided by Scripture as illuminated by the Holy Spirit and understood by the historical orthodox Christian church. This is the requisite epistemology that undergirds alignment of thought and actions with God's will, performed according to God's ways, in God's timing, and for God's glory. No leader will ever be profound without this mindset. And such leaders will be clear that the knowledge and wisdom needed will be found in Scripture and propagated through the real expressions of the local New Testament ekklesia (the church of the living God).

Leaders Teach us the Why, Playing Infinite Games & A Bit of Optimism w/ Simon Sinek   AZ TRT S05 EP10 (225) 3-10-2024    What We Learned This Week Best Selling Author & Speaker Simon Sinek talks Leadership & creating safe environments New Podcast A Bit of Optimism - inspiring stories Start With the Why - tell people the Why, before the What & How Playing Infinite Games - long term over short term Leaders Eat Last - Empathy, care about employees     Guest: Simon Sinek, Best Selling Author & Speaker Simon is an unshakeable optimist. He believes in a bright future and our ability to build it together.     Described as "a visionary thinker with a rare intellect," Simon has devoted his professional life to help advance a vision of the world that does not yet exist; a world in which the vast majority of people wake up every single morning inspired, feel safe wherever they are, and end the day fulfilled by the work they do. A trained ethnographer, Simon is fascinated by the people and organizations that make the greatest and longest-lasting impact. Over the years, he has discovered some remarkable patterns about how they think, act, and communicate, and also the environments in which people operate at their natural best. Simon may be best known for his TED Talk on the concept of WHY, which has been viewed over 60 million times, and his video on millennials in the workplace-which reached 80 million views in its first week and has gone on to be seen hundreds of millions of times. He continues to share inspiration through his bestselling books, including global bestseller Start with WHY and New York Times bestsellers Leaders Eat Last and The Infinite Game, as well as his podcast, A Bit of Optimism.   In addition, Simon is the founder of The Optimism Company, a leadership learning and development company, and he publishes other inspiring thinkers and doers through his publishing partnership with Penguin Random House called Optimism Press. His unconventional and innovative views on business and leadership have attracted international attention, and he has met with a broad array of leaders and organizations in nearly every industry. He frequently works with different branches of the US Armed Forces and agencies of the US government, and is an adjunct staff member with the RAND Corporation - one of the most highly regarded think tanks in the world. Simon is also active in the arts and with not-for-profit work, or what he likes to call the for-impact sector. In 2021, he founded The Curve: a diverse group of forward-thinking chiefs and sheriffs committed to reform modern policing from the inside-out. Their purpose is to build a profession dedicated to protecting the vulnerable from harm while advancing a vision of a world in which all people feel justice is administered with dignity, equity, and fairness.     A BIT OF OPTIMISM Podcast   The future is always bright.if you know where to look.

Knowing your why is an important first step in figuring out how to achieve the goals that excite you and create a life you enjoy living (versus merely surviving!). Indeed, only when you know your ‘Why' will you find the courage to take the risks needed to get ahead, stay motivated when the chips are down, and move your life onto an entirely new, more challenging, and more rewarding trajectory.' - excerpt from Forbes article People buy why you do it, so start with the why. Most business know the what, and how they do it - but rarely understand the 'Why'. This is what your mission statement should be. Starbucks does it for customer connection, to make interaction unique for the customer, make it an experience, more than just buying a cup of coffee. People believe Starbucks cares about them so they buy more coffee and keep coming back. It helps that customers enjoy the coffee, but there are lots of places to get good coffee. They go for the experience. Starbucks feels different than the other stores. The Starbucks Mission Statement is: "Our mission: to inspire and nurture the human spirit – one person, one cup and one neighborhood at a time." People wonder about the future of Apple after Steve Jobs. Their current mission statement is about products and how much better they are than competitors. This is very different than what Jobs believed, and maybe that is why they have hit a bump recently. I pulled an excerpt from an investing article  - 'It is radically different from Steve Jobs' original ideals, which are encapsulated in his mission statement: "To make a contribution to the world by making tools for the mind that advance humankind." This reflects Jobs' ethos and statements from his family members after his death – that what satisfied him most was watching kids use Apple products in the classroom.' The most fundamental difference between Apple's current ideals and Jobs' vision is that Jobs saw Apple products as a tool to improve the quality of life for mankind.' (You can read more here.) There is a great TED Talk by Simon Sinek called 'Start With the Why'. He explains perfectly this point. He even gives a good summary of Apple's marketing and what makes it so effective. The rise of social media has taught us a lot about ourselves. One thing is the need for more connection, to feel important, and often to be a part of something bigger.  That is why the 'Why' is so important in business. People can get a bottle of water anywhere. But they would rather buy a brand that is environmentally friendly and trying to help the world. And they will pay more that bottle of water.  Do you know your 'Why' in life? What motivates you to work so hard during the week?  How well we do at our career is often affected by what our motivations are. It is more than just passion (though that helps also). It can be your family, or life mission, or some core belief. Whatever it is , it is always personal. No one else can tell you your 'Why'.  When you are making a plan and it seems like it will be too difficult to carry out, the 'Why' can help. Even if you enjoy your job, relationship, or hobby, there will be tough times. Knowing the 'Why' will carry you through those tough times, and keep you believing. If you know the 'Why, you will find the 'How'.    The Infinite Game   There are two types of games: finite and infinite games. Finite games have clear rules, well-defined beginnings and endings, and clear winners and losers. Infinite games have fuzzy rules, no clearly defined "win," and players can change the way they play anytime. The objective is to keep playing for as long as possible. Finite games work when both participants understand the game and rules – like sports, football or basketball.   Infinite Games also work when both players have the same objective – The Cold War, just survive and do not kill each other.   Confusion happens when the opponents are playing different games.   The example Sinek uses is the Vietnam War. USA was trying to kill the enemy and win the war thru military combat. Vietnam was just trying to survive and outlast the Americans, no matter how long it took.   Another example is the rivalry of Microsoft vs Apple. Per Sinek's experience speaking at events run by each company – Microsoft talked and focused on beating Apple. Apple focused on making better products. Microsoft was short term and short sighted. Apple was long term and had a vision.     Companies that operate with a finite mindset are designed for stability. While they might produce quarterly results, they are not prepared to handle disruptions. In contrast, companies that play the infinite game are designed to embrace unpredictable situations and adapt to them. Infinite minded organizations think in terms of generations, not quarters. The five essential principles for the infinite mindset are: 1) exist to further a just cause, 2) build trust in teams, 3) find worthy rivals, 4) display existential flexibility to make extreme strategic shifts, and 5) find the courage to lead with an infinite mindset. A Just Cause is a clear future vision that is bigger than the organization that it serves to further. The Just Cause provides the long-term motivation, direction, and purpose required to play the infinite game. It creates customer loyalty, brings out the best in employees, and gives the organization both strength and longevity. The core task of a CEO is not to manage operations. The CEO should be the Chief Vision Officer who communicates the Just Cause to the team and ensures that C-level executives direct their efforts to advance it. The best-run organizations have a CEO who focuses on the long-term and a COO who focuses on business plans and operations. In an infinite game, competitors are not opponents to be defeated but "worthy rivals" who continuously push the organization to do better. In an Infinite game, more than one organization can simultaneously do well. Build a company with a culture and good product development that lasts…..       Leader Eat Last: Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don't   Real Leadership is about empathy, and a circle of safety for employees Long term leaders focus on people, work as a team, & help each other   Build an Environment of happy employees who feel inspired - happy chemicals Employees who are not afraid to fail, not concerned they will be punished for mistakes   Simon does not like the modern capitalist picture created in the 1980s by GE CEO Jack Welch – aka The Welch Way or the Wrong Way per Simon Sinek's argument that leading for long-term is better than leading for the short-term by comparing GE & Welch vs Costco  — ·         The short-term leader:  Jack Welch, former CEO of General Electric The long-term leader:  Jeff Sinegal, former CEO of Costco Sinek compares GE vs Costco by measuring profits via the rise and fall of their stocks, and then connecting those price moves to the decisions made by the leadership. GE / Jack Welch / Short-term leadership:   Profits at GE were like a roller coaster ride due to irrational decision making without regard for long-term implication Every year Jack would fire the bottom 10% of his managers at GE to balance the books GE did indeed make profit, but it was more like rolling the dice and gambling with lives of employees for selfish gain — this is not strategy, this is a man on high on dopamine Costco / Jeff Sinegal / Long-term leadership: While Welch was striking fear into the hearts of his managers, Jeff Sinegal was concerned about giving his employees a raise — at a time when the US was in an economic crisis… Sinegal would say that they should be helping the employees in bad times, not letting them go. Costco's stock was (and still is) stable and predictable — nothing exciting about it, just great, clean, predictable progress, performance and profit… when you're the 2nd largest retailer in the country, predictability is better than spontaneity.       Seg. 2   Interview With Simon Sinek discussing his concepts, leadership, creating a safe and optimistic culture, and his new podcast – A Bit of Optimism             Business Topic: HERE   Investing Topic: HERE   Tech Topic: HERE   ‘Best Of' Topic: HERE      Thanks for Listening.

All the way from Pakistan to Silicone Valley, Andaleeb Ahmed has taken a journey that inspires many women to believe in themselves and bravely step into unfamiliar territories to come out as better leaders. Learning from her mother, she realised leading is more about enabling the talent and uniqueness in the people around you, than using them to just rise up the ladder. Helping those around you achieve their dreams and become better humans, makes your own leading more fulfilling. To find the right balance between encouraging other people, and taking care of your own self, leading is an ever evolving journey. And leaders don't just hide under the titles of CEOs and Founders, they are hiding everywhere. They are hiding in the silent house helps, nail salon runners at the corner of the street, the mother who quietly makes sacrifices to make her children the leaders of tomorrow, leading lessons everywhere, if you look close enough.

What can one say about John David Mann? He has mastered, well he wouldn't say that, but I would, writing non-fiction, parable and fiction writing. He has also shown us how a marriage can be lived fully and be written about, how to start your own school, and how to run a business with over 100,000 people. And those are just a few of his achievements to date. My favorite is that he has launched almost every book he has written or co-authored on my show since 2015. Yup, that one is special to me because his words lift my spirits, awaken my brain and bring me joy. Well not just to me but to over 3 million people in 38 languages. Blind Fear is John's latest novel with Brandon Webb and it does not disappoint. Today we talked about what his latest novel means, how he manages to take a more 'Hitchcockian" approach to writing than many others (my choice of words as you will hear), and how crime writing taught him to fall in love with the world.  These aren't the usual questions John gets asked, and his answers may surprise you.  Take a listen as we dive deep with John David Mann on life, fiction, writing mastery mentoring and a few other things. John David Mann has been creating careers since he was a teenager. Before turning to business and journalism, he forged a successful career as a concert cellist and prize-winning composer. At fifteen he won the prestigious BMI Awards to Student Composers and received the award at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City, where he met such twentieth-century-music luminaries as William Schumann and Leopold Stokowski. He apprenticed as a choral conductor under his father, Dr. Alfred Mann, which gave him the chance to meet more legendary figures of classical music, including Randall Thompson, Leonard Bernstein, Boris Goldovsky, Robert Shaw, and George Crumb. His musical compositions were performed throughout the U.S. and his musical score for Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound (written at age thirteen) was performed as part of a theatrical production of the play at the stone amphitheater in Epidaurus, Greece—the very one, in fact, where the play was originally premiered a few thousand years earlier. At age seventeen, he and a few friends started their own high school in New Jersey (called Changes, Inc.). “Alternative” though they were, his school successfully placed its students in such universities as Harvard and Yale. After graduating, he joined the school's faculty. In the years since he has taught children in affluent Boston suburbs, Indiana farms, and the poorest neighborhoods on the outskirts of Philadelphia. John never planned to go into business; it just seemed to keep working out that way. He has founded one school, one food distribution business, one graphic design business, and two publishing companies. John's diverse career has made him a thought leader in several different industries. In 1986 he founded and wrote for Solstice, a journal on health, nutrition, and environmental issues. His series on the climate crisis, “Whither the Trees?” (yes, he was writing about this back in the eighties), was selected for national reprint in 1989 in Utne Reader for a readership of over one hundred thousand. In 1992 John helped write and produce the underground bestseller The Greatest Networker in the World, by John Milton Fogg, which became the defining book in its industry. During the 1990s, John built a multimillion-dollar sales/distribution organization of over a hundred thousand people. He was cofounder and senior editor of the legendary Upline journal and editor in chief of Networking Times. As a public speaker he has addressed audiences of thousands. John is an award-winning author whose writings have earned the Axiom Business Book Award (Gold Medal, for The Go-Giver), the Nautilus Award (for A Deadly Misunderstanding), and Taiwan's Golden Book Award for Innovation (for You Call the Shots). The Go-Giver was also honored with the Living Now Book Awards “Evergreen Medal” in 2017 for its “contributions to positive global change,” and cited on Inc.'s “Most Motivational Books Ever Written” and HubSpot's “20 Most Highly Rated Sales Books of All Time”; The Go-Giver Leader was listed on Entrepreneur magazine's “10 Books Every Leader Should Read” and Forbes magazine's “8 Books Every Young Leaders Should Read.” His 2012 Take the Lead (with Betsy Myers) was named Best Leadership Book of 2011 by Tom Peters and the Washington Post. His first novel, Steel Fear (2021, with former Navy SEAL Brandon Webb), was hailed by Lee Child as “an instant classic, maybe an instant legend” and nominated for a Barry Award. Jeffery Deaver called the sequel, Cold Fear (2022), “one of the best crime novels of the year.” You can read his thoughts on entering the world of crime fiction at JohnDavidMann.com His books are published in 38 languages and have sold more than 3 million copies. John coauthored the international bestselling classic The Go-Giver (with Bob Burg), the New York Times bestsellers The Latte Factor (with David Bach), The Red Circle (with Brandon Webb), and Flash Foresight (with Daniel Burrus), and The Answer (ghost-written for John Assaraf and Murray Smith) and the national bestsellers The Slight Edge (with Jeff Olson), Among Heroes (with Brandon Webb), Out of the Maze (with Spencer Johnson) and Real Leadership (with John Addison). He has written for American Executive, CNBC, CrimeReads, Financial Times, Forbes.com, Huffington Post, Ivey Business Journal, Leader to Leader, Leadership Excellence, Master Salesmanship, Strategy & Leadership, and Wired. You can find his writings on Huffington Post here. He is married to Ana Gabriel Mann (check out their wedding photos and vows), his coauthor on The Go-Giver Marriage, and considers himself the luckiest mann in the world.
