He has worked as a science and chemistry teacher at the intermediate and secondary level and has been a school principal since 2006. From 2014 to 2018, Joël was on detachment from his school board as a Pedagogical Leader at CFORP, serving the 12 French school boards of the province of Ontario in Canada, as well as various educational partners.

Joël is presently an elementary school principal, as well as a Provincial Leadership Coach for his professional association. He is the founder of Inspire Life & Leadership Coaching, as well as founder and host of Inspire Leadership Podcast.   Having a Deep Impact Joël believed his impact would come from being a classroom teacher and then a principal.  He wanted to develop himself and needed a different challenge. He began coaching principals and worked the processes with them to have a deep impact.  He was able to ask questions and let them come up with the solutions. “Be an even better version of yourself today than you were yesterday.” - Joël McClean   Imposter Syndrome Joël talks about a time after receiving a new job when he was sitting without a school to get ready, no staff to talk with, no kids coming in.  Joël began to wonder what he had gotten himself into. He was having some anxiety as they were building it from the ground up. “It probably ended up being the best decision I could have ever made in terms of my career. ” -Joël McClean   Deeper Impact On Larger Scale Joël started with posting video tips, blogging, building a website and podcasting (in French) to reach as many leaders as he could on a broader scale. “Everyone was like-minded that were creative and motivated people just pushing and pushing themselves and each other.” - Joël McClean   Joël McClean Resources: Stratosphere by Michael Fullan Digital Leadership:  Changing Paradigms with Changing Times by Eric Sheninger Innovator’s Mindset by George Couros The Coaching Habit: Say Less, Ask More & Change the Way You Lead Forever by Michael Bungay Stanier Leadership Step by Step: Become the Person Others Follow Hardcover by Joshua Spodek The Better Leaders Better Schools Roadmap by Daniel Bauer   Joël McClean Contact Info:   @Jprofnb https://twitter.com/jprofNB https://inspireleadership.ca/   Read the Better Leaders Better Schools Roadmap   Show Some Love BECOME A PATRON OF THE SHOW FOR AS LITTLE AS $1/MONTH DID YOU LIKE THE SHOW?  iTunes SUBSCRIBE HERE!

There is no shortage of books that talk about leadership. Few, though, actually help you learn how to lead. Fortunately for you and me, our guest today has not only taken on the challenge of solving this problem, he’s done so quite successfully. I’m talking about Joshua Spodek, author of Leadership Step by Step: Become […] The post Episode #179: How to Become the Person Others Follow first appeared on Read to Lead Podcast.

When you think of a good leader, what do you think of? A good leader is someone who really knows the people that are following them. The people who follow them also know all about the leader. There needs to be a strong level of empathy. People need that emotional connection, and to feel invested. If you throw your power around, you're only going to get compliance - not motivation. Nothing gets done efficiently with compliance. Everyone has dreams and passions. You need to make sure you know what your follower's are, and make sure that they know yours. When that happens they will become emotionally invested. They will want to help, they will be willing to go above and beyond to help you achieve your goals. There are ways you can practice becoming a great leader. Just like a concert pianist practices their skills, and a pro tennis player practices their forehand drills, there are fundamental practices for Leadership. On this episode we are joined by Joshua Spodek, who has been shaking up the world of leadership. Joshua has studied not only what truly makes the best leader, but more importantly what makes the best followers. He's developed leadership training skills you can, and should, practice daily if you want to be the best possible leader. His recent discoveries have been progressing the business and creative entrepreneurial world faster than we've ever seen. Download this episode today to learn how you can get ahead on these growing trends and be on the forefront of being a great leader, before everyone else. THE FUN AND CURIOUS WARRIOR “I didn't want to live a life where people knew me for a long time and didn't know me.” -Joshua Spodek Highlights - Leadership isn't about authority. A good leader can find what motivates people, and what they care about. Lead from compassion and empathy. You want people to work out of loyalty, not out of compliance. People need to feel a sense of ownership over a project. There's no need to hide behind formality. If you don't ask people what they care about, you'll never find out. Don't let your role get in the way of making connections. You need practice overcoming small things in order to overcome big things. Denying or suppressing your emotions limits your ability to improve yourself. In order to be a strong leader you HAVE to make a connection.

Co-hosts Jan Rutherford and Jim Vaselopulos interview Josh Spodek, an Adjunct Professor at NYU, leadership coach, workshop leader for Columbia Business School, columnist for Inc., founder of Spodek Academy, and author of Leadership Step by Step (launching February 2017). Josh talks about how academic teachings failed to prepare him for entrepreneurship, and how learning a theory is insufficient without practicing it.  They discuss the critical need for emotional intelligence, and psychological safety, and how they can be developed, and the techniques Josh uses to strengthen them.  Listen in to learn more about leadership practices, releasing passion, changing beliefs, and nurturing teams.   Key Takeaways [2:59] Josh is concerned that academic education is emotionally and socially passive. At Ivy League schools, Josh learned was intellectually challenged, but he was not taught socially and emotionally. Josh had trouble working with others when he founded his first company. His leadership was ineffective during the recession, and investors forced him out as CEO. [10:34] Reading books, and learning theory, but not learning how to practice the theory, you might as well read about weights, but not actually lifting weights. Josh wanted a place to teach leadership. For Spodek Academy, Josh researched fields that show leadership, to learn from their techniques. He created exercises, tested and refined them, to teach sensitivity to others’ emotions. [18:32] Joshua cites exercises by Marshall Goldsmith, such as “FeedForward,” and “No, But, However,” that taught him so much about listening and empathy. Small changes in behavior change your worldview. Josh organized Goldsmith’s exercises, and others, into a progression of learning, with each exercise being more challenging, and all tied together. [19:58] One exercise is to write down your inner monolog, the voice inside your head — not what you’re thinking about, but the actual words. A later exercise is to speak your inner monolog. That’s scary, because people hear it. It turns out to be authentic, and people respond genuinely. Further exercises are to write your mental model (what creates the inner monolog), and models of others. [25:12] We’ve all been hurt. When part of your identity is mocked, you can’t get rid of it, but you can hide it. We don’t get hurt by casual acquaintances, but by people close to us. We learn to close off our vulnerabilities. Leaders who learn to get people to get past vulnerability to share their passion can get them to engage in their work, for purposes about which they are passionate. [26:50] Jim talks about psychological safety, determined by Google’s Project Aristotle to be the number one key performance driver of high performing teams. With psychological safety, it is easier to have discussions in touch with your inner monolog. Josh says Laszlo Bock’s research at Google revealed the need for our educational system to educate to emotional intelligence. [29:47] Josh teaches adopting a challenging belief, in Unit 2 of Leadership Step by Step. Unit 1 is Understand Yourself. Unit 2 is Lead Yourself. A leader needs to know that beliefs affect how people view the world. Two people, looking at one thing, see two things. To change motivation, change belief. Joshua describes changing the “dandelion belief,” to the “burning building belief.” [33:36] If you can look at a difficult problem from a different perspective, and solve it that way, you have an additional way to solve problems, or more intelligence. Helping someone change a belief is simpler than convincing them of something. The progression in the book is, understand your belief, adopt a challenging belief, understand other’s belief, and help them adopt a belief. [37:48] Visiting North Korea taught Josh about himself. Seeing pictures of Kim Jong Il everywhere, and tuning them out, made him wonder what he tunes out here in the U.S. It hit him, that advertising and brands are what he tunes out. We incorporate into our reality things that are actually aspects of our external culture. Sometimes it takes an outsider perspective to see it. [40:48] Josh teaches entrepreneurs, when they find an industry where everybody has the same fixed beliefs, it is a huge opportunity, especially when the beliefs do not match the interests of the market. The more fixed the belief, the more the opportunity. Google is an example. Before Google were simple site aggregators, like Alta Vista. Google tried to sell “search” for $1 million.
