Podcasts about right things done

Topics:How to Free Up Leadership BandwidthThe Power of Mission, Vision & ValuesPitfalls in Implementing The Management System...and so much more.Top TakeawaysWant more freedom? Get more structure and discipline. Many founders resist structure, fearing it will slow them down. In reality, a well-defined system brings clarity, accountability, and autonomy. As an SMB founder, Michael knows firsthand that clear roles and a problem-solving framework allow companies to move faster and focus on growth instead of firefighting. Vern describes The Management System as liberating. It removes dysfunction and unnecessary complexity, creating an environment where talented people can thrive.Middle management is the backbone of scalable companies. Great companies scale by empowering middle management, not by keeping decisions at the top. The Management System ensures that middle managers understand the bigger vision, their role in achieving it, and how their success is measured. And if someone resists this level of accountability and transparency, the system reveals it fast. Efficient teams track fewer metrics—and get more done. Vern suggests ditching 50-slide reports for clear, actionable tools. Tracking sheets keep teams focused on 10 or fewer key metrics—green means you're on track, red means it's time to act. Tools like the A3 condense problem-solving into a one-page plan outlining the issue, root cause, and next steps. With these tools, teams leave meetings not just informed, but aligned and ready to execute.Teamwork makes the dream work. Podcasts and books often highlight solo journeys to success, but Michael emphasizes that true success comes when a team unites for something bigger than themselves. What matters more than personal wins is a shared mission and a willingness to support each other through the highs and lows. When a group shares that purpose, success follows naturally.Recommended Reads from This Episode“Accelerating Growth” by Vern Davenport: Unpacks how a structured system can help companies scale by improving execution, accountability, and leadership alignment.“Getting the Right Things Done” by Pascal Dennis: Teaches how to apply lean management principles to eliminate inefficiencies.“The Founder's Dilemma” by Noam Wasserman (Harvard Business Review article): Explores the trade-off between control and financial success that founders face as they scale.About Vern DavenportVern Davenport is a partner at QHP Capital, a growth equity firm focused on tech-enabled life sciences and pharma services.

Let's get to it.  Tomorrow is August 1. Buildings are opening for teachers to begin prepping for their new classes.  This time is limited!  Once you get into professional days, the amount of prep time dwindles to almost zero. Much will be created for you: class lists, grade-level schedules, and building procedures.  And it is ALL subject to change.  So let's focus on you.   Is this the very most important thing I should be doing with my time and resources right now?”  This question is from Essentialism.  You may want to post this question to remind yourself throughout the year! Teachers become world-class multi-taskers.  We need to get the right things done.  We CANNOT do it all.  Online phonics diagnostic @whamphonics.comAdditional elementary resources @ https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Whamphonics

In today's episode of Category Visionaries, we speak with Joseph Fung, CEO of Uvaro, a career success platform that's raised over $15million in funding, about why reframing a host of familiar categories like recruitment and training support leads to a whole new approach to business that puts people first. Career success means taking a human-oriented approach to professional development, helping people find the positions that really work for them, and helping them really deliver on what their host companies need. It's a whole new perspective on the oldest challenge in business. We also spoke about why it just makes sense to work with a partner when it comes to professional development, the increasing importance of skills suitability in an economy defined by rapid career transitions, and how the real stories of Uvaro's members are the best possible promotion for a company that builds everything on trust. By fostering a sense of genuine community and facilitating organic interactions, Uvaro is rapidly changing the way we will all soon approach the prospects of work. Topics Discussed: Why we should all invest in a career development partner with the skills and insight to get us where we need to be Why putting people in the right positions helps entire industries do amazing things How the pandemic pushed Joseph to reframe his company's commercial activities, and why a comprehensive career success approach has paid dividends What a future economy where we all change jobs more regularly means for career development, skills support, and finding success Why trust is key for a company promising personalized support, and how Uvaro's organic communities help build it from the ground up How real support includes unique features like deferred membership payments to help the next generation get started on their road to a better life   Favorite book:  The Effective Executive: The Definitive Guide to Getting the Right Things Done

He shares his lessons about mid-life, why your age has nothing to do with when you experience a ‘midlife crisis,' and his mission to help others realize we are all free to create the person we want to be and the life we want to live. “It is absolutely possible - and preferable - to be wildly successful and sane.” - Mark J.

This is a replay of one of our more popular episodes from a few years ago. We hope you enjoy this conversation between Jamy Bechler and Todd Gongwer. The full show notes from the original episode are below. Also, if you are on Twitter, please consider following Jamy @CoachBechler.   - - - - -   Todd Gongwer is the best-selling author of “LEAD…for God's Sake. The book has been called a “game changer” by national championship football coach Urban Meyer. It has been credited with having a huge impact on Coach Meyer's decision to come out of the broadcast booth and take over the reigns of the Ohio State Buckeyes. Todd is first and foremost, a husband and father.   His expertise in leadership and cultural dynamics comes from a broad range of experiences in the world of business and athletics, spanning over 25 years. He has held numerous executive positions in companies ranging from entrepreneurial start-up to public entity, while also serving as an assistant college basketball coach for over a decade. Following the successful launch of the Need to LEAD program, a systematic approach to shaping team culture, Todd wrote LEAD…for God's Sake, A parable for finding the heart of leadership. As the popularity of the book grew, stories of its powerful impact surfaced in such noted publications as ESPN Magazine, Yahoo Sports, ESPN.com and Forbes.com. Testimonies from high profile coaches, business leaders, and educators from around the country continued to stream in, affording Todd the opportunity to work directly with some of the most successful leaders, teams and organizations in America. Today, when Todd isn't coaching his own children, he travels throughout the country speaking, teaching, and coaching on the topics of leadership, purpose and cultural dynamics. He lives in Indiana with his wife Traci and their three children; Kaden, Kira, and their newest arrival from Haiti, Wadson.

A commemorative edition of Peter F. Drucker's timeless classic work on leadership and management, with a foreword by Jim Collins. What makes an effective executive? For decades Peter F. Drucker was widely regarded as "the dean of this country's business and management philosophers" (Wall Street Journal). In this concise and brilliant work, he looks to the most influential position in management - the executive. The measure of the executive, Drucker reminds us, is the ability to "get the right things done". This usually involves doing what other people have overlooked as well as avoiding what is unproductive. Intelligence, imagination, and knowledge may all be wasted in an executive job without the acquired habits of mind that mold them into results. Drucker identifies five practices essential to business effectiveness that can - and must - be mastered: Managing time Choosing what to contribute to the organization Knowing where and how to mobilize strength for best effect Setting the right priorities Knitting all of them together with effective decision making Ranging across the annals of business and government, Drucker demonstrates the distinctive skill of the executive and offers fresh insights into old and seemingly obvious business situations.

Employee engagement has always been important, but now with a virtual workforce, it's even more vital that people stay connected to the workplace and to each other. But it's never been harder. NYT best-selling author Kevin Sheridan is on the podcast this week to share some of his best practices as they relate to leadership in this whole new world.Sheridan talks about the role of culture in keeping people engaged, particularly during stressful times. One major, but often overlooked, component of a positive company culture is having fun in the workplace. Research shows that companies that make fun a part of their culture have much lower burnout rates and less turnover. Sheridan shares great examples of companies that have made fun a measurable part of their culture. Quint and Sheridan share real-life stories where “fun” not only made the employees happy, but it became part of the company's brand with customers. You'll not only get solid research on the benefits of fun but also some great ideas for making fun part of your business plan.Resources: https://kevinsheridanllc.comBlog Post - The Importance of Adaptability In Your Next HireKevin Sheridan's BooksPeter Drucker, The Daily Drucker: 366 Days of Insight and Motivation for Getting the Right Things Done

In this episode, we talk about setting healthy boundaries at work. Are you always saying yes to others and every request? Do you have a problem saying no to others? Are you working through your lunchtime and working long hours in order to please others? I share 7 tips to build better boundaries at work, this can also be applied to other areas in your life. Resources mentioned in episode: Brene Brown Quote: “Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves, even when we risk disappointing others. We can't base our own worthiness on others' approval. Only when we believe, deep down, that we are enough can we say, enough!”   Extreme Productivity: Boost Your Results, Reduce Your Hours https://www.amazon.com/Extreme-Productivity-Boost-Results-Reduce-ebook/dp/B007HBLNSS?tag=wwwfccom-20   18 Minutes: Find Your Focus, Master Distraction and Get the Right Things Done https://www.amazon.com/18-Minutes-Master-Distraction-Things/dp/0446583405/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1612916776&sr=8-1   Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity https://www.amazon.com/Getting-Things-Done-Stress-Free-Productivity/dp/0143126563/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=Getting+Things+Done%3A+The+Art+of+Stress-Free+Productivity&qid=1612916878&sr=8-2   Anne Lamott Quote: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/24553-no-is-a-complete-sentence

Time Blocking helps you to get unstuck, stop procrastinating, and move forward on a project. It makes time and space for tasks that need attention. It's a way to chunk projects into smaller parts so it's easier to start and make steady progress. You set time blocks with a start time and end time to work on a specific activity. You could single focus on one difficult, high-leverage project like a strategic marketing plan, or batch process similar, low-level tasks like responding to emails and returning telephone calls. You can move around time blocks if true emergencies and unexpected delays come up. You can schedule new time blocks if you need more to finish the task. Scheduling a time block goes beyond making a to-do list. It tells you when exactly you will do a task, in what context and under what circumstances, and for how long. It encourages you to take deliberate action steps and to block out distractions and interruptions. Time Boxing helps you to stay within scope, avoid perfectionism, and finish and deliver a project on time. It puts time constraints on projects that tend to take too long to complete. It takes advantage of Parkinson's law, which states that work expands to fill the time allotted for its completion. Having a cut-off time to stop working on a task makes you more mindful of the value you bring, rather than the hours you put in.A timebox can be as short as 15 minutes to several months, depending on the activity or project. One project might take one or two steps, while another requires hundreds of steps. A timebox has project milestones, deadlines and deliverables. In this episode, I cover: The Pomodoro Technique, a popular method for time blocking How time blocks help you do deep work, improve your ability to focus, and make progress on the right things at the right pace for the relevant deadlines The core problem with the billable hour model How time boxes help you to be more efficient, intentional and results-oriented Resources cited:  Francesco Cirillo, The Pomodoro Technique: The Acclaimed Time-Management System That Has Transformed How We Work Cal Newport, Deep Work (Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World) Music by:Sebastian Brian MehrCheers,Dyan WilliamsCheck out the book: The Incrementalist, A Simple Productivity System to Create Big Results in Small StepsVisit website: www.dyanwilliams.comSubscribe to productivity e-newsletter
