If you can't be a leader at home, how can I trust you to be a leader somewhere else?” “Leadership is about trust. If somebody doesn't trust you, you can't be a leader. You can still be the boss and tell them what to do, and they do it because they have to. There's a huge difference between doing what you're telling them to do (because they have to) and then doing it because they trust you and want to do it well. And the only way to develop trust is through a relationship.” “Every single day as a leader, you are going to make a difference in somebody's life. I guarantee every day. Go out there and make a conscious decision to make a positive difference in at least one person's life every day.” “If you make a positive difference in somebody's life, they're going to leave positive prints in somebody else's life. So it just seeds on itself.” “I don't care how long you've been a leader; you always need that nudge every once in a while to get you back to your roots. It doesn't mean you're not a good leader, but you can be better. You can always be a better leader.” “Every single day as a leader, you owe it to the people you've had the privilege to lead to be better than you were yesterday.” BOOK MENTIONED: Wooden on Leadership by John Wooden (https://a.co/d/cSf0lMN) PODCASTS MENTIONED: The Word on Fire Show https://www.wordonfire.org/videos/wordonfire-show/ Jocko Podcast – Leadership and Discipline https://jockopodcast.com/ USEFUL RESOURCES: https://www.ltcoakmcculloch.com https://www.instagram.com/ltcoakmcculloch https://www.facebook.com/LTCOakMcCulloch https://www.linkedin.com/in/oakland-mcculloch-34293256/ https://twitter.com/LtcOakland https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Ep1eqF3o0X5CBamtVgClQ Your Leadership Legacy: Becoming the Leader You Were Meant to Be (https://a.co/d/j6DPIr1) CONNECT WITH JOHN Website - https://thejohnhulen.com Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnhulen Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/johnhulen Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/johnhulen LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhulen YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLX_NchE8lisC4NL2GciIWA EPISODE CREDITS Intro and Outro music provided by Jeff Scheetz - https://jeffscheetz.com/

Episode 77: Joe Weston & His Book, Mastering Respectful Confrontation: A Guide to Personal Freedom and Empower, Collaborative Engagement With a career spanning 30+ years in the fields of conflict prevention, leadership, stress management, and communication, the wisdom Joe shares in this conversation and through his books seems to be more timely (and deeply needed) these days than ever. Having first started out as an actor -- and then teaching his own method -- and specializing in communication, Joe has been drawn to the power of connection and understanding that can lead us as a species to either become more cohesive and connected or fall to disconnection and distrust. It says a lot about Joe's work and character that, while I look at this conversation and see the fear we all have inside of us that leads to that disconnection, he sees, believes, and is pulled more toward the hope that exists and that is out there. Although he's hopeful, he knows it takes work -- in understanding both ourselves and others. Before looking to the outside world and either saying our needs aren't being met or believing another's needs are not as important as our own, we need to look inward, into our hearts, to see what this life should be all about. Do we want to allow it all to fall apart around us, or take responsibility and contribute as much as we can -- no matter how little or how much -- to creating ripple effects of support, concern, and community? Each of us is more powerful than we believe. In my coaching, I've see most of us don't understand this. We leave too much ability, desire, and skill on the table by underestimating ourselves. We need to turn that around. Conversation Highlights "Unfortunately, the planet is filled with an enormous amount of information gatherers who haven't learned very much." The problems in our world are complicated. The solutions are simple. But implementation is hard work. The dangers of Chronic Niceness The Power of Assertiveness vs. The Pitfall of Aggression How Joe's work helps you get physical vitality, emotional stability, mental clarity, and spiritual grounding The MAIN QUESTION underlying my conversation with Joe is, How do you balance understanding who you really are and what you need/want with your responsibility in what the world needs?

The entirely frank and fearless Retired Lieutenant Colonel Oakland McCulloch shares his decades of leadership wisdom in this episode as we grapple with the big question: What makes a good leader? Oakland shares his experience as a combat arms officer in the US Army and his views on leadership, emphasising the need for accountability and servant leadership. We discuss decision-making, micromanagement, and the importance of honesty and realistic expectations, as well as the limitations of the education system and the need for more leadership role models. Oakland recalls a dramatic change in leadership style from micromanagement to servant leadership that proved to be a lightbulb moment that was to shape his own leadership journey. This conversation, much like Oakland's new book, Your Leadership Legacy: Becoming the Leader You Were Meant to Be, is really practical, insightful and useful.
