Welcome to another episode of Beyond the Thesis With Papa PhD. This week, host David Mendes sits down with Dr. Rob Lion, professor of Human Resource Development at Idaho State University, expert in culture, leadership development, and organizational performance, and co-owner of Black River Performance Management. With over two decades of experience guiding individuals and organizations, Rob shares his personal journey from early leadership roles to consulting, and how his curiosity led him to focus not just on systematic solutions, but on the human factors that drive real, lasting change in organizations. In this conversation, Rob unpacks the realities of workplace culture, the true meaning of leadership, and the importance of behavioral science in making organizational improvements actually “stick.” For grad students and early-career researchers, he offers honest insights about the professional world outside academia, including the value of humility, self-awareness, and team skills in landing your first job—and thriving in your career afterwards. Whether you're interested in active leadership, building workplace culture, or just starting to explore where your PhD might take you, this episode is packed with practical advice and new ways of thinking about the future. Dr. Rob Lion is a professor of human resource development at Idaho State University. He specializes in culture, leadership development, strategy, and organizational performance. In addition to his teaching and research, Rob and his wife, Angie Lion, own Black River Performance Management. With over 20 years in leadership and organizational development, he is recognized as a visionary leader who promotes sustainable, actionable science-backed solutions for individuals and organizations. Rob is a dynamic speaker and consultant who understands how to integrate the theory and teachings of best practices into organizational practices, resulting in strategic and sustainable improvement solutions. As a professor and researcher specializing in the psychological and behavioral sciences, Rob provides expert guidance to clients, addressing their “people” needs, obstacles, and opportunities. What we covered in the interview: Embrace Humility & Keep Learning: No matter how advanced your degree, entering a new work environment means there's still much to learn. Being open, humble, and ready to adapt is key to long-term success and professional growth. Practice Teamwork & Emotional Intelligence: Technical knowledge opens doors, but your ability to collaborate, communicate, and navigate group dynamics determines how far you'll go. Emotional intelligence is a crucial differentiator for hiring managers today. Take Initiative in University & Beyond: Universities are a “petri dish” for low-risk leadership experiences—get involved beyond the lab or classroom! Organizing events, working with clubs, or connecting with alumni not only build your resume but also expand your professional mindset and network. Whether you're eyeing your first job outside academia or aiming to grow within an organization, this episode has advice you can act on today! See the resources section below for Rob Lion's links!

Tom Henschel: The Look & Sound of Leadership Tom Henschel of Essential Communications supports senior leaders and executive teams. An internationally recognized expert in the field of workplace communications and self-presentation, he has helped thousands of leaders achieve excellence through his work as an executive coach and his top-rated podcast, The Look & Sound of Leadership. Have you been told you should take more initiative? Or, perhaps you've been telling that to someone else? Either way, this conversation with Tom Henschel will outline three key steps to help you get started. Key Points Three steps to taking more initiative: Think and talk about your work. Ideas come through conversation. Execute on your idea. Feel the fear and do it anyway. Communicate what you've done. Initiative is often in the eye of the beholder. Imagine a scale that goes from bold to cautious. There's probably room for you to be at least 5% bolder. Feeling like you are waiting on others may be an indicator to take initiative. To calibrate where you land, ask yourself: “What's my typical pattern?” In correspondence, consider asking fewer questions and making more statements. Place yourself in situations where you'll need to show initiative.

He and Sanger talk about why so many men feel aimless and how stepping up—not faking it—is the way out. They talk about the appeal of distractions like sports and alcohol, the discomfort of starting from zero, and the kind of fulfillment that comes from actually doing hard things.

Episode 203 In this podcast, New York Times best-selling author and astrologer Chani Nicholas discusses the astrology of the week and what it might mean for us all. The astrology of the week of November 4th, 2024, is all about taking charge. First, on Sunday, November 3rd, Mars (the warrior planet) opposes Pluto (the planet of power), spurring us to navigate conflict more strategically. Then Mars enters Leo, emboldening our inner leader. And the next day, the Sun trines Saturn (the planet of structure), pulling our focus toward how we shine in the long term. Over the next seven days, we can expect surges in tension and confidence in equal measure. May we channel them wisely. Let's get into it. This episode covers: Mars' opposition to Pluto on Sunday, November 3rd Mars' ingress into Leo on Sunday, November 3rd The Sun's trine to Saturn on Monday, November 4th Venus' square to Neptune on Saturday, November 9th This episode was recorded on 09/19/2024.

‘Mum instincts are honed by repeatedly having to figure things out. We can't criticise dads for not having the same parenting initiative if we don't give them the chance to develop it by themselves.'

Intention is meaningless without action. This year, be the man who steps up to create a DA+3 group. It's as simple as getting three dads to join you. Extend invitations, build friendships, and keep going when it's tough. Your family's future depends on it. Key Takeaways Isolation is deadly. Show me your group, and I'll show you your family's future. 17 Ideas of Groups to Start. 6 Benefits of Being the Dad Who Goes First. 4 Steps to Take Initiative. Jeff Zaugg Jeff Zaugg is a loving husband, intentional dad, and passionate advocate for the fatherless. With experience in nonprofit leadership and pastoring, Jeff founded DadAwesome in 2018 and Fathers for the Fatherless shortly thereafter. Jeff and his wife, Michelle, have been married for 17 years and are parents to four daughters, ages 3 through 10. Key Quotes 13:08 - "Why should we step into being the activator, being the spark, being the guy who rallies and gathers other dads? Isolation is deadly. We know this, it's so true. When we're alone, we're vulnerable. Second, dads without friendships will at some point cause deep pain to their kids. The pain of isolation and a dad being a dad that doesn't have friends looking out for them, encouraging them, challenging them to grow. You will pass on pain to your kids." 16:51 - "You're going to move into a simple goal, I call it DadAwesome +3, DA+3. This is how easy it is, your goal is just to get three dads, three dads to join you. It might take inviting nine to get three to show up. Guys, it takes invite, invite, invite. DA+3 is a simple goal, but it takes inviting. It takes initiative. If you want to gather guys together, you've got to be the one who goes first. You've got to send the message, you got to decide, and then you've got to go after the simple goal of DA+3. Be a dad who gathers three other dads."

Transitioning from an individual contributor to a manager requires a significant behavioral shift. As individual contributors, we are used to solving problems and handling tasks independently. However, as managers, our role shifts to empowering our team members to take initiative and perform effectively. This transition is crucial because it not only alleviates our own workload but also fosters a sense of ownership and growth within the team. By enabling our direct reports to contribute meaningfully, we create a more efficient and motivated team, which ultimately leads to better organizational outcomes. This week I share a story about Oscar, a rapidly promoted leader in Silicon Valley who faced a common challenge. Despite his success as an individual contributor, Oscar struggled with micromanaging his team, which stifled their growth and initiative. He realized that his hands-on approach was causing his team to rely too heavily on him. Through coaching, Oscar learned to set collaborative goals, use a coaching approach to problem-solving, and apply situational leadership techniques. These changes transformed his team dynamics, increased their ownership and efficiency, and allowed Oscar to focus on strategic planning. Key Questions Discussed In the Podcast How can setting collaborative goals with your team members foster better engagement and initiative?What are some effective coaching methods managers can use to empower their teams?How does situational leadership help in addressing the diverse needs of team members and improving overall performance?

The idea that a man should chase a woman can encourage manipulative behavior like playing hard to get." — Lisa Shield"Great guys who are building fabulous careers and have money want women who are easy to get along with, women who are transparent, women who are upfront, who know how to talk to a man." — Lisa Shield "And all of our clients who have found the Guardians of Their Souls will say, ‘This is not the kind of guy I thought I would be with. It started off very slow and it just kept progressing and getting better and better and better as we got to know each other.'" — Lisa Shield"You may think you're being very clear about how you feel, you may think you're being obvious. But some women, most women, can be extremely cryptic in the way that they send signals to men." — Lisa Shield"The idea that men like to chase women sets up a cat and mouse game, and that is not a good basis for the beginning of a relationship or a good way to gain male attention and interest." — Lisa ShieldContinue On Your Journey: Lisa Shield | YouTube | Facebook | Instagram | Book a Call With LisaEmail the podcast at: podcast@lisashield.com

Invite people into your life. Look for opportunities to include people. What you are already doing, do with others. Supper, lunch, coffee – make intentional plans with others. 4. Join people where they are. Find clubs. Start a new hobby that is supported by a local club. Photography, etc 5. Learn a skill that requires others. Music, band, sports 6. Listen, Learn, Show interest in others. The other person is new to you, get to know them! 7. Don't expect perfection from others or yourself! Leave room for growth and change. Part of friendship is helping the other person be better. 8. Allow space to disagree. We learn about our self as we have difficult conversations. 9. Be flexible. Everyone around you has a life and their own interests and goals. Be open to including others interests in your life. 10. Be a good friend. Be Dependable, Honest, Loyal, Considerate, and Supportive. That means remembering to call, show up on time, listen more than talk, help when needed. Be the hands and feet of Jesus in your friends life. Thanks for joining me today.

When we try to predict the future it's natural to visualize the worst-case scenario. It doesn't have to be that way once you understand how to use the power of your mind.Tell me your story.

The receptionist responded, “Are you crazy, lady?” and immediately hung up the phone. But that didn’t stop Judy Sheindlin. Three years later, in 1996, Sheindlin convinced CBS television producers to run a daytime reality court show starring her in the main role. For the next 25 years, Judge Judy became one of America’s most famous judges and personalities. In the Old Testament, judges were appointed to preside over disputes and to act as military leaders. In Judges chapter 4, we find God’s people crying out to the Lord for help (v. 3). God loved His people so much that instead of allowing them to drift into sin constantly, He had permitted them to be sold into slavery (vv. 1–2). It took them 20 years to come to their senses (v. 3). During this time of bondage, Deborah didn’t seek a leadership role or making a name for herself. She simply wanted to serve the Lord. The Hebrew word for leading (v. 4) means to judge, to govern, or to act as a decision-maker. The Israelites looked to Deborah for leadership, and she delivered: “She held court under the Palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim, and the Israelites went up to her to have their disputes decided” (v. 5). When the time came to speak the truth, she didn’t shy away. She called for Barak, the army’s commander, to go into battle and free those enslaved (vv. 6–7). When he hesitated to proceed alone (v. 8), Deborah agreed to go with Barak (v. 11) and predicted that the glory of the battle would go to a woman, and not to Barak (Judges 4:17–21). >> Leaders rise to the challenge. And Christ followers can do that not because we are great but because God is on our side. Is there something you have been putting off doing? Whatever it is, ask God if this is His will, then stand tall and take the initiative.

A lot of leaders struggle to get their teams to take initiative and assume ownership. They feel like they have to light a fire under them. But there are better ways to help the team take charge that don't require force.Gayle Lantz offers ideas on what leaders can do to help their team members be more proactive and take initiative in their work.As Gayle explains, you can't just “tell them.” You need to create the right conditions/culture for people to feel comfortable. And recognize that some people show initiative naturally compared to others, so different approaches are required.Find the full show notes at: https://workmatters.com/How-to-Get-Your-Team-Members-to-Take-Initiative-Without-Lighting-a-Fire

Sooo you have a great idea and you pitch it to your boss and it's shut down… or you have staff that don't take initiative, or you're at the top of your game and getting bored. What do you do next?Learn to encourage functional ownership, which is the giving of real responsibility and actual decision making to people within your organization. It's the only way to scale!
One of the ways to be appreciative is to say "thank you." When we say "thank you" we are being polite by acknowledging a possible gift, service, or compliment, from another. "Thank you" is a sign of a mannerism, which is a habitual gesture or way of speaking or behaving. We all were raised different based upon cultural differences however, there is still an idiosyncrasy, which is a mode of behavior or way of thought peculiar to an individual. Continuing with the Gospel of Luke series, we will be taking a look at Luke 17:7-10. The hope is, after this conversation we will take more initiative in being effective servants, not just doing our daily duty but going above and beyond it.
If you're listening to this podcast, I know you already DO have initiative, but this episode is not about the everyday run-of-the-mill initiative. You only get so much energy every day, so I want you to use it well. This episode will focus on the best way for you to use that initiative so that you get noticed in a positive light and so your senior leadership begins to see you as a high potential for executive positions.

If you were to guess what the most requested image in the National Archives is, what would your guess be? Would it be something related to the moon landings? Maybe something historic, related to WWII or the Civil War? Maybe something from the turn of the century? If so, you'd be wildly off base. The most requested photo in the National Archives was taken on December 21, 1970, in the Oval Office. It shows Richard Nixon shaking hands with Elvis Presley, who was wearing one of his famous jumpsuits, along with a giant gold belt buckle.
