Ce înseamnă cu adevărat a fi un lider? Auzim din ce în ce mai des acest termen, însă se fac foarte multe confuzii pe acest subiect. ”Un lider cu adevărat bun îi face pe oamenii din echipa sa să se simtă implicați și nu dați la o parte, în așa fel încât fiecare să înțeleagă că prin munca sa contribuie la succesul companiei” ne spune Warren G. Bennis. Ca să îi poată inspira pe alții, un lider trebuie mai întâi să-și cunoască propriile calități, dar și să aibă un echilibru între realitatea sa emoțională intrinsecă și realitatea celor pe care încearcă să îi inspire; Deși există o serie de abilități necesare pentru ca o persoană să devină un lider de succes, Goleman spune că empatia apare mult mai des în studiile referitoare la competențele liderilor; Un lider de excepție și cu o viziune de ansamblu reușește să facă mai mult decât să acționeze în baza unui sistem; el prevede oportunități de dezvoltare și muncește pentru a deveni mai bun, cu posibilitatea ca un număr tot mai mare de oameni sa beneficieze de pe urma muncii sale. Calitatea de lider depinde de captarea și direcționarea eficientă a atenției, întâi cea individuală, apoi cea colectivă. O gestionare eficientă a acesteia poate fi utilă pentru luarea unor decizii inteligente la nivel organizațional; Un lider atent are abilitatea de a se concentra în același timp asupra sa și asupra celor care îl urmează, dar în același timp poate să fie atent și la tabloul general în care ei toți evoluează. Nu te naști lider. Leadership-ul se dezvolta într-un om atunci când acesta găsește o cauza mai mare decât el în care crede și căreia i se dedică. Leadership-ul se învață, însă esența lui se trăiește. Cel mai bun training de leadership nu ți-l oferă o carte sau un curs, ci a sta cât mai mult în preajma unui adevărat lider, mai ales în vremuri grele, și a învăța de la el. A fi parte a întregului proces. Când petreci timp în apropierea unui lider te simți inspirat. Calitățile lui le avem cu toții în noi și când le vedem la alții care le trăiesc pe deplin, o parte din noi se trezește, cel puțin pentru o vreme. Robin Sharma este de părere ca fiecare om poate să fie lider în domeniul lui de activitate, indiferent cu ce se ocupă și că a fi lider nu ține de o funcție, ci de o atitudine exemplară. Albert Einstein a spus odată: „Liderul este acea persoană care reușește să scoată simplitate din dezordine, armonie din dezbinare și oportunitate din dificultate”. Cum ar fi dacă cei care ne conduc la orice nivel ar fi adevărați lideri? Și ce s-ar întâmpla cu nivelul de performanță general dacă ne-am comporta și am munci cu toții ca niște lideri?
In the face of our ever-changing working environments, the stories we tell ourselves will change the way we see the world. Focusing on our strengths and finding meaning in what we do will unlock our best selves and allow us to lead and succeed even when the going gets rough, even when it seems like success and integrity are at odds. In this episode, Gautam Mukunda is joined by serial entrepreneur, author, and co-founder of the Happiness Studies Academy, Tal Ben-Shahar, and blog writer and author Eric Barker to discuss how creating a meaningful narrative can change our experience. “One of the biggest insights of all of social psychology is that the situation is often more predictive of behavior than individual personality traits.

"Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality." -Warren G. Bennis How are things in your state? Are you running the streets (like Mel Gibson in Braveheart) screaming, "FREEDOM!"? That's kind of been the feel here where I live....not by me but by many. Regardless of where you are, we here in the studio hope you are healthy and well. On this episode, I had the awesome opportunity to talk with Greg Thomas about his new book, "Code Your Way Up." It's not a book (or a conversation) just for coders. Greg has leadership tips that can be used by all in their quest to lead better and do better for their teams. One key thing he said to me in our conversation was to "follow your non-leadership style." What's that about? Take a listen and find out....that's why I titled the episode the way I did. CHEERS! More on Greg... Greg Thomas has seen (and done) it all – whether it’s been writing code, leading projects, breaking builds or developing and launching products – all while amassing an impressive wealth of experience as a team leader. In Code Your Way Up, Greg asks (and answers) the important questions facing leaders in the software industry that don’t get asked enough (or at all) in identifying what it takes to be a great software leader and what to do when things go sideways. If you’re new to software leadership or it’s something you aspire to, Code Your Way Up breaks it all down for you, pointing out the pitfalls and the joys, and providing you with a blueprint for excellence and success. It’s the perfect balance of information and inspiration, imparted with humor, empathy, and clarity and it starts with taking the same approach to leading as you do to coding – jumping in.

Paul Annett is the Owner of inTransition LLC. He has more than 25 years of experience in corporate management and consulting and has successfully helped first-generation family-owned businesses transfer their leadership to the second generation. Paul was also responsible for growing a privately-held printing services company from $40 million to over $140 million. In today’s episode, Paul shares the four stages teams go through before they become a high-performing and high-functioning team. Key Takeaways: [2:15] What types of clients does Paul usually work with? [6:45] Instead of building a high-performing team first, Paul works with the individual leadership members first. Everybody might be very talented, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they work well together. [10:00] Paul breaks down the four different phases a team goes before becoming a successful and high performing team. [13:55] The first phase is the forming stage where leadership takes the time to really get to know each other. You’d be surprised that even siblings in leadership roles might discover something new about what it’s like working with their brother or sister. [14:20] The next phase is the storming stage. Leadership members can be stuck in the storming stage for years if they’re not careful and it can lead to a lot of conflicts and lack of trust. [16:45] What’s the difference between healthy conflict vs. unhealthy conflict? [22:50] With every bright side, there is a shadow. It’s important for leaders to be aware of both their strengths and their weaknesses. [27:40] The third stage is the norming stage. This is where leadership can begin to align the mission of the organization with systems and processes. [30:25] How do you know when you’ve successfully completed one stage and ready to take on another? [31:40] The next stage is the performing stage. This is the stage that a lot of people don’t always realize they’re in because everything is so easy! [38:05] What are some of the biggest mistakes teams make when going through this process? [41:00] What is considered ‘healthy friction’ within teams?

The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born - that there is a genetic factor to leadership. This myth asserts that people simply either have certain charismatic qualities or not. That's nonsense; in fact, the opposite is true. Leaders are made rather than born.~ Warren G. Bennis Click Below to Listen to Today's Show Insert Podcast Link Here Thank you, Mr. Bennis. Warren G. Bennis was a scholar and renowned author on leadership. Perhaps one of the the founders and forerunners of the modern leadership movement, Warren Bennis has debunked the myth that leaders are born. That cannot be farther from the truth. As, Mr. Bennis said, the thought that people are born with leadership skills, that it's part of genetics is total nonsense, a myth. Leaders are made. Leaders learn skills as leadership itself is a skill. Many people with upbringings that are less than stellar, with ancestors that were far from leaders have made great leaders. They learned the skills necessary to lead and then applied those skills. Charisma is not necessarily a genetic trait. Many people learn the science and mechanics to understand life and people and then take that into their mental thought processes and become that person. That leader. This thought, I believe, stems from the male-dominated business environments of the past where they believed that only men were capable of being leaders. Therefore, they had the genetic makeup required to be leaders. Well, we all know this is bunk. Let's face it, there have been many great leaders that have been women. There genetic makeup had nothing to do with it. Don't let this old myth stop you from striving to be a good leader. Learn what makes a good leader. Then strive to be a great leader. Go Out Today and Learn to Be a Great Leader, Then Be A Great Leader Thank you for listening to Goal Getting Podcast. I am going through some transitions in life. As I do this I started thinking about my original goal for the podcast. The original goal was to provide tips, strategies and inspiration to Goal Getters. I had originally set the podcast up as a weekly edition with then intent of sharing the lessons of my Goal Achievement Success System and to interview expert guests that has achieved success in areas of their life that you Goal Getters might be working on yourself. I started an experiment in July of last year providing the Goal Getting Quote of the Day. It was well received and I had a lot of you start following me because of that addition. The frequency went from 1 day a week to 7 days a week, with one day being the Weekly lesson, interview. With my career change in September, which you may remember was a goal I had set and achieved 2 years sooner than I expected, my schedule has gotten busier at work. I took a winter break to start Season 2 which would be longer segments focusing on a quote and a longer lesson to go along with that quote. I wanted to keep the podcast down to less than 20 minutes. With the new transition and the increased workload at the office and my #WorkOnWellness goal I am committed to, I realize that I must go back to the original plan of the podcast. I will be reverting back to the original one show per week beginning in May. I will do three days this week and next, I hope. That is my goal for the next two weeks.

Contrary to what my headline might suggest, this is actually an upbeat message. Guilt is about what you have done. Shame is about who you are. Failure in business has no connection to either of these. Failures are footlights along the dark pathway to success. One of the defining characteristics of Wizard Academy alumni is that we are people of action. Failure does not frighten us. The author of Peter Pan, J. M Barrie, would have been one of us if Wizard Academy had existed back then. He said, “We are all failures – at least the best of us are.” Thomas John Watson, the early President of IBM who turned that company into a household word, said, “If you want to increase your success rate, double your failure rate.” Roger Van Oech, a consultant to Apple, Disney, Sony and IBM echoes, “Remember the two benefits of failure. First, if you do fail, you learn what doesn't work; and second, the failure gives you the opportunity to try a new approach.” Warren G. Bennis had a failure epiphany that changed his life. He says, “The leaders I met, whatever walk of life they were from, whatever institutions they were presiding over, always referred back to some failure: something that happened to them that was personally difficult, even traumatic, something that made them feel that desperate sense of hitting bottom — as something they thought was almost a necessity. It's as if, at that moment, the iron entered their soul; that moment created the resilience that leaders need.” Failure, it seems, is valuable and important and necessary to your success. Here's how to do it right: Fail cheaply. Always ask, “What is the minimum viable experiment?” Fail forward. Be sure to learn something you didn't know before you failed. Fail quickly. The primary goal is to prove or disprove your concept. This education by experience can be expensive. But ignorance is even more expensive. I'm in the middle of what appears – right now – to be a failure of epic proportions. But I'm not frightened by it, ashamed of it, or even confused. “Amazed” is the word I would use. Back on November 4th I announced a $10,000 Quixote's Windmill Prize. Only 4 people, so far, have entered that contest. Think of it this way: would you accept a free lottery ticket to win a $10,000 cash prize if your chances of winning were 1 in 4? That's right. There is nothing to buy, no entry fee, and https://wizardacademy.org/scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=414 (anyone can enter.) The prize is cash. The deeply insightful Jean Vanier says, “I am struck by how sharing our weakness and difficulties is more nourishing to others than sharing our qualities and successes.” The name of Vanier's book is Community and Growth. Community: you're part of the community of Wizard Academy and the Monday Morning Memo. Growth: It's the goal of our coming together. I'm going to say something hard now. I hope you will forgive me: If you want to stand before others as a sparkling example of what is possible if a person works hard enough, is disciplined and determined enough, and makes all the right decisions, well, you seem to have a need to be worshipped. If you actually want to benefit the people around you… if you want to help them avoid the mistakes you made and the difficulties you endured as a result… you must share those mistakes and describe those difficulties. This is how we grow. This is how we have community. I want you to enter Quixote's Windmill contest because it's important for you to laugh about your failures. If you try to keep them secret, you give them power over you. Don't wear the handcuffs of the past. Roy H. Williams
