Stop wasting your energy on barking orders and telling people what to do. It's far more effective and satisfying to lead by example. It's one of the greatest leadership hacks of all time because people respond better to what they see, not what they're told. I host Eric Liebowitz, CISO of Thales Americas, who shares a key insight that explains why leading by example works and an essential strategy to immediately begin leading more effectively.  Thales is a global Aerospace, Transportation, Cybersecurity and Defense organization with a complex IT environment and multiple product lines.

Eric started his career on Wall Street where he led a global team of security professionals that implemented a 24/7 Security Operations Center to monitor threats and respond to attacks at Lehman Brothers.  Eric then moved on to Freddie Mac where he built and led multiple teams in different security disciplines such as Identity & Access Management, Governance, Risk and Compliance and Security Monitoring & Incident Response. Eric's attributes include strong leadership and communication skills with the ability to translate technical and risk based solutions to senior management as well as business partners. He also has a demonstrated track record of delivering innovative Security solutions that meet corporate strategic goals while promoting a team-oriented work environment. Eric has partnered with peers in other organizations to start a CISO roundtable with security leaders from the Virginia, Maryland and DC area. He is also a 9 year contributing member of the CISO Executive Network.

Why leaders must become PROACTIVE when it comes to employee retention. The reality of the staffing shortages in the Cyber Security industry. Why leading by example is so effective.

In this episode, Mitch Santala talks to Hope Seth, an expert in community development and start-up success. The conversation centers around humility and the importance of reaching outside yourself to make a dream come true. Mitch starts off by asking Hope about her first entrepreneurial experiences and she talks about falling in love with customer service while helping her dad with the family business. Hope mentions that she doesn't fit the classic definition of an entrepreneur, but Mitch disagrees. Hope continues with her work history, from doughnuts to catalogs, and the two agree on what it means to be a supporting role. Mitch comments on Hope's philosophy about how the people – not the project – should be the focus and Hope brings up the concept of trust. She talks about trust as a foundation and how important it is to establish trust with the way you communicate. Mitch inserts his similar ideas on giving personal value to the people you work with. The pair touches on the idea that everyone can be an owner of something, be it the whole company, a project, a department. As always, the topic of service comes up. Mitch asks Hope about her best tips for getting an idea off the ground and Hope responds that the vision is easy…but getting the timing right is imperative. She also talks about what she believes is the secret to having a successful plan. She even gives insights into a big project she headed up in the city of Anderson, California and what she credits the success to. The conversation turns to leadership and the importance of being able to follow. Hope gives insight into an approach for team leadership that gives everyone the opportunity to be a leader in their own space. Hope discusses some of the dos and don'ts that she'll highlight in the best-selling book Mitch is sure she's going to write. She has a surprising take on writing business plans and what you should do instead. She also makes sure to note that you must be open to feedback and be willing to adjust as people give you advice. There are big tips, too, for getting started and getting an idea off the ground. There's also conversation about what not to do and a strong insinuation that entrepreneurial ideas are probably not as original as their brain trust thinks they are. Mitch and Hope continue to talk about tricks for pitching and Hope reminds listeners that there has to be a problem first. The solution comes second. And she says not to get too used to your idea in its first form. Hope also introduces an article she wrote called “Let's Try It Again,” and gives a great example of how she pivoted her approach to getting her kids to do things and do them the right way. Mitch gives parents a new perspective on approaching their kids' futures. The topic of failure comes up and Hope cites the rather unconventional way it's been worked into her office's culture. The two then dive into keep entrepreneurs in a city and Hope gives some perspective into how hard it can be to both attract and keep local business…and what cities can do to minimize the risk of losing them. Finally, the most important question of all is asked: Where are we going for really good Mexican food. You can nearly hear the team gasp when Hope says that being from the Midwest means Taco Bell is the go-to for Mexican food. It's established that this will not suffice, and Hope says that she is always on the lookout for the best white queso dip, finding it at Casa Ramos in Redding. Table Talk: Mitch introduces the team: Gil Moegerle, Erin Pruetz, and Isaac the Former Intern. Mitch starts out talking about the difference between entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial spirits. Isaac immediately dives into one of his millennial rants about how social media gets a bad rap. He reminds listeners that social media is a viable means of networking and promoting a brand, content. It's about how you use it. Erin agrees, although somehow gets called a boomer in the process. She says that social media isn't a flash in the pan and that businesses need to adapt and figure out how it's going to work for them. Erin also says that Hope's “I don't want to be the leader” statement was relatable to her. She remarks that she's got a million ideas but just don't want the junk that comes with company ownership. She says she likes being the boss of her own little area, without the pressure of the whole company on her. Gil talks about his own dad's door-to-door career and how the first time his dad let him give a pitch was the first time he really believed in himself for the first time. He relates to Hope's own little experience of learning from doing, with the guiding hand of a beloved parent. Mitch wraps it up with comments on showing up and serving, not worrying what others will give you in return. He says, “Find joy in seeding hope in others.” Links: The Speed of Trust by Stephen M.R.

Save The Date!  Our next live virtual online Luxury Designation Training will be on March 17th. All the details can be found at:  www.LuxuryDesignation.com One of the most important qualifications of a real estate agent is their ability to negotiate effectively. What makes an agent a skillful negotiator is understanding the negotiating process and being able to navigate through the multiple issues that a real estate transaction entails. It’s the number one skill clients look for. And it's not just a business skill, it's a life skill. If you want to become a better negotiator, this episode is for you. I have some great discussions with the founder of The Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE) and founder of The Real Estate Negotiation Institute (The RENI), Tom Hayman. He has over 15 years of experience as an agent and negotiation trainer. He’s got some practical strategies on how to handle real estate negotiations that will help you close the deal. To find out more about becoming a CNE, visit https://www.thereni.com  “Having excellent negotiating skills is vital. And it’s one of those skills that doesn't always show up in your bio or listing book. You need to be able to differentiate yourself from the competition.”  -Michael LaFido Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode The Influence of Culture on Negotiation: Different cultures negotiate differently. The one common aspect all cultures have is that they’re relationship-based. To negotiate effectively, you need to cultivate that relationship and show your client that you care about them and their culture. The Exchange Persuasion Principle: The Exchange Persuasion Principle states that if I do something for you, then you are likely to feel an obligation to do something for me. An example of this would be when signing on a new listing client, you might accept a lower listing fee if they commit to a performance bonus when you deliver stellar results.  3 Skills for Agent Success: The top 3 skills agents should focus on that will get the best return for their business are marketing, marketing analysis, and negotiation. You need marketing and marketing analysis skills to effectively present a home, and the way you negotiate is vital because if you do a poor job, you leave money on the table for your client and yourself.   Guest Bio: Tom Hayman spent 25 years negotiating with hundreds of companies for Proctor and Gamble (including 4 years in Japan and the Far East). He went into real estate in 2003 and has over 15 years as an active agent and negotiation trainer. In 2007, he founded Real Estate Negotiation Institute. He enjoys studying the latest research on persuasion and figuring out how it applies to real estate (and life) and passing it on to his students.  You can get in touch with Tom through The Real Estate Negotiation Institute website at https://www.thereni.com/   Additional Resources: Max Avenue website - https://www.maxavenue.com/ The Speed of Trust by Stephen M.

A new survey suggests that real estate investors are unlikely to survive in today's competitive market unless they get serious about branding their business (Source: https://www.fortunebuilders.com/brand-real-estate-investing-business/ (Fortune Builders)). Real estate investors often debate the decision to operate independently or build a real business and brand. Many more think that they can put off the decision. However, the need to brand your real estate investing business has never been greater, and that is why I've brought Stace Caseria on to talk about real estate branding tips to beat your competition. Stace Caseria is the founder of Trust Deep Branding Agency and an award-winning writer and branding expert with 20-years of experience. He focuses on creating long-term loyalty between businesses and individuals built on deep trust. He got his start at MAD Magazine and has created communication content and strategy for brands like Realty, Mogul, Bose, Delta Air Lines, Panasonic, Vail Resorts, etc. He's been investing in real estate for more than 20 years and is currently both an active and passive investor. Stace and I discuss all the aspects of branding. From the many profitable reasons why you should be branding yourself to how to create a brand.

DEBORAH HARTMANN PREUSS ON ENGINEERING CULTURE BY INFOQ The Engineering Culture by InfoQ podcast featured Deborah Hartmann Preuss with host Shane Hastie. Deborah was once an Agile coach. She wondered why she didn’t have anything in her toolkit to help people with the discomfort they were feeling with the change Agile was bringing. She didn’t find the answer in Agile, but she found it in coaching. Deborah says that one of the important things she does as a coach is to bring balance to the excitement of our dynamic lifestyles by helping us to slow down long enough to hear our own wisdom. Deborah tries to ask the biggest questions she can come up with. Typically that elicits a “Huh! I need to think about that for a minute.” Sometimes she has to say, “Don’t think about it. Feel it.” She sees her skill as being able to see what is in you, reflecting it back, and helping you notice what’s there. She says that when she can see herself clearly, she can stand in front of other people with less fear, more courage, and more love. She says we have good methods to bring, changes to bring, and skills to teach, but if we are stressed out when we’re doing it, that becomes part of our message. She says that for too long we’ve been told, ”Suck it up! Life is hard. You don’t have to love your job. The stress is part of the package.” In contrast, she believes that people who are not constantly stressed out can bring so much more to their work. Creating a joyful workplace starts with authenticity. When you are not trying to conform to somebody’s idea of who you should be, all that extra energy is left over to simply do great stuff. Authenticity both reduces stress and frees your uniqueness. Shane pointed out that authenticity requires vulnerability. Deborah says that is where leadership comes in: to create safety. A leader who doesn’t feel safe will have trouble creating safety for others. When we ask people to be vulnerable, it has to fall into a place of trust. That trust must be built first and that is a leadership skill. Shane asked how one builds that trust. Deborah pointed to the book Liftoff by Larsen and Nies (https://www.amazon.com/Liftoff-Start-Sustain-Successful-Agile/dp/1680501631). We build trust, she says, by talking openly about things and being accountable to one another. She also referenced The Speed of Trust by Stephen M. R. Covey (https://www.amazon.com/SPEED-TRUST-Thing-Changes-Everything/dp/1416549005) for building trust and repairing trust when it is broken. Shane asked about the state of diversity. Deborah said that part of the state of diversity right now is, “Oh look at how diverse we are!” but this is not the same as everyone feeling welcome to contribute their differences. Inclusion is honestly welcoming differences and giving those differences a proper reception. Shane asked about Ten Women Strong and Deborah described how the Ten Women Strong #WomenInAgile program lets women start from a common set of values from Agile. The group helps them to recognize their authenticity, celebrate it, and start designing to turn that into what they need. She described how the program helps women meet their own needs so that they fill the well and have more to give out to others.

Scott Ford. Jessica has been a software developer for twenty years. One of her obsessions is how, as developers, we have a unique power to change our own environment. It gets even more interesting when we change the environment our team works in.  They talked about symmathesy. It starts with systems thinking, where people realized that you can’t reduce a system to its parts, understand the parts, and expect that to extend to an understanding of the system as a whole. You need to understand the relationships between the parts. Anthropologist Nora Bateson took this idea further when she realized that it is not just that the relationships between the parts matter; each part is constantly changing as a result of its relationships to the others. She called this symmathesy. Scott asked how awareness of the symmathesy of software development has changed the way Jessica does her work. Jessica says that if you look at a software team as a socio-technical system of humans and software based on mutual learning, the trickiest part is the line between the humans and software. The interface between the humans and the software is low bandwidth and this has made Jessica appreciate the value of tooling and how tools need to be customized for every different software system and every group of people. Andrea asked how Jessica can explain those benefits to those who are in charge of budgets and in charge of predicting what will be delivered. Jessica says that people are starting to notice developer experience and developer productivity. For example, these topics show up at conferences more today than they used to. Jessica related the symmathesy of software development back to Andrea’s article on technical debt as communication debt. When you have a mental model of the software, that software is alive to you because you can change it. But if you add another person who doesn’t yet have that mental model, that software is dead or legacy to them because, to them, that software is not safe to change. They talked about 10x developers and how much of their productivity comes from being the original author of the system. Building a mental model from a system that somebody else wrote is much more difficult than writing a system yourself.  Andrea pointed out that from the original system author’s perspective, the other engineers seem less capable because they are struggling to understand something that seems obvious to the original author. Jessica says to always replace the word “obvious” with “I can’t explain it, but...” Jessica says she’s learned that whenever she thinks someone else is stupid, chances are they know something she doesn’t, and this is why their actions don’t make sense to her. Jessica is talking about avoiding the fundamental attribution error. She went on to talk about the difficulty of transferring knowledge.

Eric asked Nir what inspired him to write his new book Indistractable. Nir says that Indistractable is a pro-human, pro-tech book about being able to control your attention and manage all sorts of distraction. Half the book is about how individuals can become indistractable and the rest is about how to help others or our environments become indistractable. When Nir was researching the book, he was surprised to discover that all of our behaviors are driven by a desire to escape discomfort. He says that if you want to become indistractable, you need to start with mastering your internal triggers.  We also need to be aware that the companies we work for are creating much of the distraction. If a company has the wrong kind of culture, that is, one that is high expectation and low control, it causes psychological discomfort. In these cultures, we strive for control by sending more emails, calling more meetings, and distracting ourselves and others. Another surprise for Nir was learning that technology at work is not the source of distraction. Distraction at work is a symptom of a dysfunctional workplace culture. For example, group chat apps like Slack are considered distracting. If the technology was the culprit, he asks, shouldn’t the people who work at Slack and use it most be the most distracted people? Slack doesn’t have this problem because they have a healthy workplace culture. This is relevant to managers because, unless you have three factors in your workplace, you will always have distraction. The three factors are: 1) an environment that provides psychological safety, 2) a forum for people to air concerns, and 3) leaders who exemplify what it means to be indistractable.

Jim asked Dave to explain Cynefin, the conceptual framework that Dave created to aid in decision-making. Dave says that Cynefin is based on a fundamental divide into ordered systems, complex systems, and chaotic systems. There is a phase shift between these types of systems rather than a gradation. An ordered system has a high enough level of constraint that everything is predictable. An example is such a constraint is how we all drive on the left in the UK and on the right in the US. This is called an “obvious” approach to order. The relationship between cause and effect is obvious. Another type of order is “complicated”, where there is still a right answer and, for experts, it may be obvious but, for the decision-maker, it isn’t. You sense/analyze/respond and you may discover the right answer with less precision. It is the domain of good practice, not best practice. If you over-constrain a system that is not naturally constrainable, sooner or later it fragments into chaos. If you fall into chaos accidentally, you no longer sense/analyze/respond, but instead you act/sense/respond. An example is Clayton Christensen’s notion of competence-induced failure: being so good at the old paradigm that you don’t see the change coming and the change becomes catastrophic for you. A complex system is one that has enabling constraints. Everything is somehow connected to everything else but the connections aren’t fully known. One concept is the dark constraint, referencing dark energy, where we can see the impact of something without knowing where the impact is coming from. You may want to compare this to the notion of symmathesy from Jessica Kerr’s appearance on Legacy Code Rocks. In a complex-adaptive system, the only way to understand it is to probe. One of Dave’s definitions of “complexity“ is: if the evidence supports conflicting hypotheses of action and you can’t resolve those hypotheses within the timeframe for a decision from the evidence, the situation is complex. In Cynefin, you don’t try to resolve it, you construct a safe-to-fail micro-experiment around each coherent hypothesis and you run them in parallel. That, in turn, changes the dynamics of the space and a solution emerges. The final domain is the domain of disorder. This is the state of not knowing which of the other systems you are in. It is a type of inauthenticity. If your natural tendency is to bureaucracy, you are likely to impose order when it is inappropriate. If your natural tendency is towards complexity and emergence, you may choose not to impose order when it would have been more appropriate to impose it. The essence of Cynefin is to say, “context is key.” Dave got fed up with management fads that said things like, “business process reengineering is universal” or “the learning organization is universal.” None of these are universal. They all work within a specific context. So part of the function of Cynefin is to decide what context you are in before you decide what method you will use. They went on to talk about Apex Predator theory, agent-based modeling, “anticipatory triggers”, artificial intelligence, Nicholas Nassim Taleb, and many other topics. I particularly liked what Dave had to say about what people who work on artificial intelligence should be trained in.

Scott Ford. Mike has been writing code for thirty-five years. In the late nineties, he got frustrated with watching projects fail. He was working for a big bank and they would celebrate when they shipped something, but they knew it wasn’t what the customer wanted. Looking for something better, he found the XP community. He decided he needed to get better at the “people stuff.” This took him into neuroscience, psychology, hypnosis, neurolinguistic programming, and body language. He talked about Clean Language. Clean Language came originally from therapy. It was modeled on the style of therapy used by a therapist named David Grove, who himself never formalized his process. Clean Language is a set of questions that don’t contaminate the metaphors of the people you are questioning. He used the example of a metaphor of a head “exploding” with ideas to describe how to avoid contaminating a person’s metaphor. They talked about Judy Rees’s Lazy Jedi questions which are named that way because, if you only ask those two questions over and over, it is like you are using Jedi mind tricks. The questions are, “What kind of X is that?” and “Is there anything else about X?” If the metaphor is “my head is exploding with ideas,” the Lazy Jedi questions become: “What kind of exploding is that?” and “Is there anything else about that exploding?” Some people tell Mike that, as a software developer in a highly technical environment, they don’t use many metaphors. Mike begs to differ. He says that the metaphors are so deeply embedded that they don’t notice any more. A bug is a metaphor. A cache is a metaphor. Some metaphors are blatantly obvious, like “the band was on fire,” and some are really subtle, like, “I have a lot of bananas.” You aren’t using the exact definition of the word “lot” but are using it as a metaphor. They went through a clean language exercise in which Mike asked Scott about what he is like when performing at his absolute best and, based on his answers, got deeper and deeper into Scott’s metaphor.
