Robert W. Mixon, Jr. is a retired U.S. Army Major General, former President of a manufacturing company, EVP of a diverse, innovative not for profit company, and Leadership Consultant. He serves as a faculty member at the Thayer Leader Development Group at West Point and various premier business schools including The Simon School of Business at the University of Rochester, The Olin Business School at Washington University in St. Louis, and the Cox Business School at Southern Methodist University.   In this episode Dr. Gaye Lang and Robert Mixon discuss: Internalizing tolerance in one's own life  How an organization can benefit from practicing tolerance The value of being transparent and genuine  Being fully committed to tolerance  Key Takeaways:  We must expect leaders to demonstrate their commitment to diversity, inclusion, equity, and tolerance. They have to walk the talk and not just talk it. It has to be a genuine way of life, a genuine belief, and not just a one-time event.  When every leader and every team member commits to practicing tolerance, the whole organization benefits. Organizations that have embraced tolerance have been seen to grow both internally and externally because of it.  You can't fool people. People will know when you're not being genuine. It's best to be transparent. If there's a problem, admit that there's a problem, create a system of change and commit towards getting better.  If you can't be in it to win it, then don't be in it. You can't put one foot in and one foot out. The saying is true in diversity, inclusion, equity, and tolerance. You have to be fully committed to it and really embody the values in your life.    “Training is not episodic, it shouldn't be a one-time event every year or every six months. It should be part of our way we do things… It truly has to be a way of life, if you're going to grow a world-class culture.” - Robert Mixon Connect with Robert Mixon: Twitter: http://twitter.com/levelfiveassoc  Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/LevelFiveAssociates?fref=ts  YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UClp-MK0vsoRaI0yvMdZTs1A  Website: https://www.levelfiveassociates.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/level-five-associates/    Connect with Dr. Gaye Lang: Don't forget to subscribe to the show, so that you don't miss a single episode; and please leave a rating and review.

On this episode Gavin is joined by Major General Robert W. Mixon Jr. a leadership expert who has honed that skill in his previous career in the U.S. Army. He shares his six pillars of leadership insight as well as advice for taking charge and stay calm in situations where people are looking for clarity and certainty and how a daily self-audit can help with that. Sign Up Here: https://bit.ly/biz-pod   KEY TAKEAWAYS The six principles of leadership are: 1. Set the azimuth – who are we, what do we do, why do we do it? 2. What is our intent? 3. Values. 4. What's our culture? 5. When in charge take charge. 6. Balance personal and professional. Do the right thing when none's looking, the senior leaders of Volkswagen were personally accountable for paying the company back over $350million because of their wrongdoing which damaged the company. Balance is not about hours or work/life. It's about your four energy levels; physical, spiritual emotional and mental. The opportunity and the changes in the world brought about by the pandemic should jolt us in terms of who we are and what we represent and whether we're walking the talk. One-to-one meetings are the most important meetings to your company, they must be planned for as such. Schedule, prepare for it, conduct it in a space that's effective to have it, ask thoughtful questions, listen to responses and take notes.   BEST MOMENTS ‘My Mom told me a thousand times; God gave you two ears and one mouth for a reason, are you listening with the intent to understand, or are you listening with the intent to reply?' ‘Listening leaders are, by far, more effective leaders.' ‘There's no reason for panic in the Big Six Model, you've built a team of people, you have an azimuth and a purpose, you can be the calm in the chaos and so can they.' ‘You can't manage time, time is finite. That leads you in the wrong direction in understanding what balance is.' ‘It takes a while, you're not going to move the needle in your own leadership model, or in those of others, or the culture and the ecosystem of your organisation without investment of your time and energy. You've got to expect a year or two for this to take shape.' ‘The most successful leaders I've seen in the last 18 months are those who focus on alignment and a common understanding of who we are, where are we going and what are we going to do to get there?'
