EVERY STORY A LEADER TELLS ESTABLISHES HISTORY, EXPLAINS THE PRESENT AND PREPARES PEOPLE FOR THE FUTURE
November 08, 2023 14:46 - 25 minutes - 22.9 MBEVERY STORY A LEADER TELLS ESTABLISHES HISTORY, EXPLAINS THE PRESENT AND PREPARES PEOPLE FOR THE FUTURE “Leaders who read history know how often and in what ways history repeats itself. Leaders who tell stories recall to validate, or recollect to correct history as it is remembered. Like multiple eye witnesses to an accident, every event or incident in history has myriad perceptions to offer. What happened and why? Who caused it? Who is to blame or receive credit? These answers will be as va...
THREE TOP REASONS YOU MIGHT HAVE TO LEAVE THEM BEHIND AS THEIR LEADER
November 07, 2023 14:36 - 22 minutes - 21 MBTHREE TOP REASONS YOU MIGHT HAVE TO LEAVE THEM BEHIND AS THEIR LEADER “Three reasons people who started the journey with you won’t finish it. They don’t want to know. They don’t want to grow. They don’t want to go. They might want the accolades, the appreciation, the notoriety. They perhaps even long for the riches and recognition. But the price to be paid for going forward into the risky unknown is not in their nature. They would rather be left behind than to go the hard way. Never let them...
LEADERSHIP MUST BE APPROACHED LIKE RAILROAD TRACKS - STOP - LOOK - LISTEN
November 06, 2023 14:45 - 24 minutes - 22.3 MBLEADERSHIP MUST BE APPROACHED LIKE RAILROAD TRACKS - STOP - LOOK - LISTEN “Leaders who assume they know everything, well you know what happens when we assume. It is imperative for leaders to demonstrate the respect, human decency and compassion others deserve. It is also significantly critical for leaders to consider the circumstances, perspectives and predicaments of those they lead. A failure to follow orders or instructions can be a serious problem indeed. However, there is often a why w...
THE INGREDIENTS OF GREAT LEADERSHIP ARE OFTEN UNAPPEALING SEPARATELY
November 02, 2023 14:07 - 24 minutes - 22.1 MBTHE INGREDIENTS OF GREAT LEADERSHIP ARE OFTEN UNAPPEALING SEPARATELY “Many recipes include surprising ingredients. The little known elements which cause critical chemical reactions are by themselves unimaginable as a food item. Have you ever eaten baking powder or straight cocoa powder? Some ingredients cannot be skipped or substituted, In leadership, there are messy, even nasty ingredients which are crucial catalyst to personal growth, team cohesion and ultimately success. If we skip some ...

November 01, 2023 14:07 - 24 minutes - 22.8 MBWHEN FRUSTRATING EVENTS BEFALL A LEADER REHEARSAL BEGINS, RECITAL REMINDS, RESENTMENT RISES UNLESS… “Changed schedules, delayed flights, closed doors to opportunity, a loss of a sale or top employee and suddenly the world of an average leader is in a tail spin. To avoid the disaster of the nose dive and ensuing crash, the blame game is activated like a led parachute. No one comes out of the blame game unscathed. When the mind of the leader is not trained and disciplined to search for positiv...
LEADERS GET MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO FIGHT A BATTLE THEY SHOULD IGNORE
October 31, 2023 14:00 - 22 minutes - 20.2 MBLEADERS GET MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO FIGHT A BATTLE THEY SHOULD IGNORE “This life is filled with chances to get it wrong. Leaders will be challenged on every side with arguments, disagreements and even agreements with nuance. Choosing When to speak up and when to remain silent can be as demanding as the actual skirmish itself. Preparing to avoid a battle is as tasking has preparing to fight one. Before you engage an opponent ask yourself sincerely: ‘What will be the spoils of war in this? If I ...

October 26, 2023 23:51 - 39 minutes - 36.5 MBWHAT MAKES A LEADER A 1% LEADER? LTNTV INTERVIEW WITH RETIRED CMSGT SKIP OVERDIER “It’s one thing to claim to be a leader. It’s another to have the type of influence people seek to follow. It’s important to follow the rules, get permission to lead, build the right relationships to keep the job. It’s another thing to stay in the game long enough to become named among the top 1% in your career field. IN this interview leaders will hear exactly how that was accomplished. WATCH THE VIDEO 10-...

In this short video, I point out the reasons for using a story, how to find the right story, why LRADERS must practice before using a story and th...

HEY LEADER WHATS ON YOUR MIND?
October 20, 2023 13:15 - 24 minutes - 22.7 MBHEY LEADER! WHATS ON YOUR MIND? “Every leader runs the risk of having too much on their mind. Too many projects started but not finished. Too many haters judging your every move. Too much time spent without focus on the assignment. Too many worries about not being enough, good enough, smart enough, successful enough. If you are not intentionally observant, diligently aware, astutely critical of every whisper into your soul, you will become an overwhelmed leader. To be an extremely effective...
WHAT MOTIVATES YOU TO BECOME AND REMAIN A LEADER?
October 19, 2023 13:33 - 25 minutes - 23 MBWHAT MOTIVATES YOU TO BECOME AND REMAIN A LEADER? “Everyone is driven by something a little bit different. Everyone’s past is a little bit different. Everyone makes decisions a little bit different. Between decision making and results there is a direct line of causation, not so with history, motivation and action. A leader’s actions often appear to be inextricably linked to their past successes and failures. Sadly, a leader may choose to act in ways driven by current motivations such as reve...
FAILURE IN A LEADERS LIFE WILL PROMOTE, PROPEL OR PUMMEL
October 18, 2023 13:12 - 23 minutes - 21.2 MBFAILURE IN A LEADERS LIFE WILL PROMOTE, PROPEL OR PUMMEL “As a leader, you will fail. It is not a question of if but when. The real question is, what will you do when you fail? Will you see that failure as an excuse to quit? Will you ignore the failure and what caused it then brush off the symptoms and effects? Will you learn, heal, recover, adapt and insure the root cause is eradicated? One guarantee is certain, overcoming this challenge has a reward. The reward is the next challenge. Congr...
VISION AND SIGHT ARE NOT THE SAME LEADERS KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
October 17, 2023 13:45 - 24 minutes - 22.2 MBVISION AND SIGHT ARE NOT THE SAME LEADERS KNOW THE DIFFERENCE “It’s difficult enough in this world of virtual and augmented reality to see what really is. A leader’s role is to see in a way that is not based on sight but a deeper understanding, A well constructed blend of what was, what is and what is to come. Vision is not sight. Vision is wisdom applied. Sight is found in the eyes. Vision is found in the heart and the soul.” J Loren Norris WATCH THE VIDEO 10-17-23: https://rumble.com/v3p...
ORIGINALITY, INNOVATION AND AUTHENTICITY ARE TRADEMARKS OF CUTTING EDGE LEADERSHIP
October 16, 2023 13:17 - 24 minutes - 22.8 MBORIGINALITY, INNOVATION AND AUTHENTICITY ARE TRADEMARKS OF CUTTING EDGE LEADERSHIP “I am a product of my environment like everyone else. I am a user of tools of all sorts. I know well the aggravation of attempting to complete a task with the wrong tool. I also know there are times when laziness, apathy and contentment overwhelm inventiveness, motivation and ambition. Tools are created to save time, to maximize effort and to make us more productive not to make us less industrious or conscient...
GREAT LEADERS ARE NOT DRIVEN BY SELFISH GAIN BUT BY CREATING VALUE FOR OTHERS
October 13, 2023 13:49 - 21 minutes - 19.8 MBGREAT LEADERS ARE NOT DRIVEN BY SELFISH GAIN BUT BY CREATING VALUE FOR OTHERS “Today’s world is filled with would be leaders of industry, governments, nations, business and medicine who have their own legacy front and center. For leaders like this, the greatest accomplishments are financial security. The greatest goal is the legacy or reputation they hold for pushing further than the competition and winning at all costs. We also have a generation of financially astounding influencers who man...
AT SOME POINT GREAT LEADERSHIP OFFENDS SOMEONE
October 12, 2023 13:40 - 22 minutes - 20.2 MBAT SOME POINT GREAT LEADERSHIP OFFENDS SOMEONE “It would be nice if we could all just get along. It would also be nice if no one said a harsh word, set difficult expectations, created a demand for excellence. If all those things were true, we would have no need for leadership. It is the role of leadership to motivate, inspire, and influence. It is the purpose of a vision to establish the destination and the goals along the path. It is the ‘dark side’ of leadership which must hold people acco...
LEADERS MUST CONQUER POINTLESS DISTRACTIONS
October 11, 2023 13:59 - 23 minutes - 21.3 MBLEADERS MUST CONQUER POINTLESS DISTRACTIONS “What is a pointless distraction? Personell drama could be a pointless distraction. The ploys of your competition could be a pointless distraction. Market volatility could be a pointless distraction. Most of the issues a leader must confront on a daily basis could be a pointless distraction. Knowing what is a pointless distraction and what is attending to the critical details of the mission is among the hardest roles of a leader. However, allowing...
BAD STORIES CAN DO MORE DAMAGE THAN A LEADER CAN UNDO ON THEIR OWN
October 10, 2023 14:13 - 24 minutes - 22.1 MBBAD STORIES CAN DO MORE DAMAGE THAN A LEADER CAN UNDO ON THEIR OWN “BAD Stories might be Boring, Acrimonious and Divisive but these are only one stacked acrostic of a BAD story. Leaders who choose stories which fit this definition are leaders who destroy confidence, relationships and opportunities. If we fail to understand the magnitude of our stories, the 10 second, single line stories in our head or the months long stories of a campaign, we will do more damage than can be undone alone.” J...
LEADERSHIP DEMANDS THE COURAGEOUS PURSUIT OF THE UNKNOWN
October 09, 2023 14:05 - 23 minutes - 21.6 MBLEADERSHIP DEMANDS THE COURAGEOUS PURSUIT OF THE UNKNOWN “Life is filled with challenges, obstacles and distractions. Leadership amplifies, magnifies and seemingly attracts each of these exponentially. Seeking new opportunity, discovering the newest mouse trap, innovating new management techniques all demand courage to face the risk of the unknown and tenacity to charge forward regardless. Leadership will unlikely install this new download of fearlessness, you’ll have to write that code on...
LEADING AND MANAGING DIFFER IN BOTH STYLE AND SUBSTANCE
October 06, 2023 13:44 - 22 minutes - 20.6 MBLEADING AND MANAGING DIFFER IN BOTH STYLE AND SUBSTANCE “Trying to lead a team of different and diverse people is a challenge. Knowing the difference between leading and managing is one key aspect of the challenge. One example would be the difference between equipping and developing your team. Strong management skills would include training team members to excel in the role by up-leveling their skills sets to mastery - this is equipping. Leadership on the other hand requires developing the ...
LEADERS WHO LIVE IN AN ECHO CHAMBER OFTEN HAVE A FALSE SENSE OF SUCCESS
October 05, 2023 14:04 - 24 minutes - 22.5 MBLEADERS WHO LIVE IN AN ECHO CHAMBER OFTEN HAVE A FALSE SENSE OF SUCCESS “If everything around you points to your greatness, you might be in greater danger than you know. If everyone you lead, everyone you report to, every one of your peers agrees with every word you say and every action you take, it’s time take stock. Being surrounded only by those who value your every idea and agree with every decision can lead to internal blindness. Take time as a leader to read books from people you know ...
LEADERS WORDS HAVE A DIRECT IMPACT ON ROI, RISK REWARD AND EMPLOYEE RETENTION
October 04, 2023 14:13 - 21 minutes - 19.9 MBLEADERS WORDS HAVE A DIRECT IMPACT ON ROI, RISK REWARD AND EMPLOYEE RETENTION “The words a leader selects to speak to their team, about their team and THROUGH their team will always bear an ROI. These words will have a direct impact on the strength, confidence and proficiency or productivity of the team. These words will have a direct correlation to the strength of your brand, your reputation in the market place, your ability to do business. These words will have a direct relationship to hir...
MANAGING DRAMA, STRESS AND ANXIETY ARE UNSPOKEN EXPECTATIONS OF A GREAT LEADER
October 02, 2023 13:36 - 25 minutes - 23.2 MBMANAGING DRAMA, STRESS AND ANXIETY ARE UNSPOKEN EXPECTATIONS OF A GREAT LEADER “If you have worked in an environment where someone on the team seems to live for drama, you know the discomfort that brings to a team. Drama driven teammates will say things like, ‘I get bored when it’s all smooth sailing.’ ‘I work better under pressure,’ ‘Give me the tough assignments because that’s where I shine.’ Usually, that means they will create drama where there is none, exacerbate stress and high pressu...

September 29, 2023 11:45 - 26 minutes - 24.7 MBCHOOSE THE FUTURE OF YOUR HOMELAND “If we continue to listen to the negative, malicious, divisive stories we are fed from the news and the pews we will see self destruction continue to unfold. The best weapons we have against tyranny are the compounded stories of freedom. We must remind ourselves, our foes and those hopeless ones in dire need there is an answer. Speak the truth. Tell better stories better!b Express your recall of freedom. Shout freedom stories from the mountain tops and de...
SOME LEADERS LEARN TO SERVE OTHERS BY SERVING THEMSELVES
September 28, 2023 13:41 - 23 minutes - 21.4 MBSOME LEADERS LEARN TO SERVE OTHERS BY SERVING THEMSELVES “Meeting the need of others can be a genesis for serving. Inspiration or the request of others can be the genesis of serving others. However, never underestimate the power of serving others as a means of your own growth needs. Is there a chance your next area of challenge, personal development, or need for heightened awareness would benefit others? Do it. Do it because they need your help. Do it because you need to grow. Do it because...
LEADERSHIP IS A LIFE TIME OF DECISIONS, NEGOTIATIONS AND RISK
September 27, 2023 13:45 - 23 minutes - 21.9 MBLEADERSHIP IS A LIFE TIME OF DECISIONS, NEGOTIATIONS AND RISK “Leaders who believe life is fair will have a really hard life. Leaders who are averse to risk taking will miss out on many opportunities to grow and excel. Leaders who feel like every negotiation should end in compromise will find themselves on the losing end of too many deals. Decision making is emotional business. Business is emotional. Leaders must master the art of emotional risk taking and deal making to be successful.” J Lo...
REHEARSAL IS THE BIRTHPLACE OF EXCELLENCE FOR EVERY LEADERSHIP PRINCIPLE
September 26, 2023 14:06 - 25 minutes - 23.3 MBREHEARSAL IS THE BIRTHPLACE OF EXCELLENCE FOR EVERY LEADERSHIP PRINCIPLE “Brandon Dawson says leaders must ‘Model. Mimic. Master. Multiply.’ This process is the rehearsal of leadership. Like an orchestra, an ensemble, a ballet or a movie set, every part must be perfected through practice. In the same way that one vocalist, instrumentalist or dancer can make or break the show, one member of the team might corrupt all the efforts of leadership as well. Rehearsing your leadership skills alone i...

LEADERS MUST PRACTICE EFFECTIVE TROUBLE SHOOTING IN ALL AREAS
September 22, 2023 13:51 - 23 minutes - 21.2 MBLEADERS MUST PRACTICE EFFECTIVE TROUBLE SHOOTING IN ALL AREAS “Ancient teachers say there is wisdom in a multitude of advisers. The theory goes, if enough people agree on an idea as good or bad, how could they all be wrong? Sometimes, a bad idea is perpetuated because no one wants to disagree. Sometime an ok idea is regarded as stellar because so many people buy in. Trouble shooting the practice of the master technicians in any field. Looking first from the most likely problem to the most c...
LEARNING IS BEST DONE THROUGH DISCOVERY AND AWARENESS THATS WHY GREAT LEADERS COACH RATHER THAN LECTURE
September 21, 2023 13:35 - 23 minutes - 21.8 MBLEARNING IS BEST DONE THROUGH DISCOVERY AND AWARENESS THATS WHY GREAT LEADERS COACH RATHER THAN LECTURE “The leader who feels it necessary to lecture, dictate and micromanage every decision will come across to team members as a tyrant or dictator. If you want your team to truly grow and own the information, practices and processes, give them room to discovery. All of us hold on to an idea we believe was our own. When we become aware of a new way of dealing with people, navigating obstacles ...
WHAT TO DO IF YOUR LEADERSHIP LID IS CONNECTION
September 19, 2023 13:26 - 25 minutes - 23.4 MBWHAT TO DO IF YOUR LEADERSHIP LID IS CONNECTION “Every leader will tell you failure is imminent and unavoidable. Every leader will also tell you if you fail at the same thing several times, the real failure is you’re failing to learn the lesson. For many leaders, their first experience of failure is directly tied to communication. The inability to deliver the vision, explain the objectives, articulate the expectations will lead to failure. Ironically, most leaders communicate disproportiona...
WARNING: SERVICE LEADS TO ACCESS - IF YOU WANT TO GROW IN LEADERSHIP THEN SERVE FIRST
September 18, 2023 13:17 - 21 minutes - 19.9 MBWARNING: SERVICE LEADS TO ACCESS - IF YOU WANT TO GROW IN LEADERSHIP THEN SERVE FIRST “Serving others is the fastest and most consistently proven way to gain access to those you admire. If you want to be mentored, apprenticed, educated by people who you aspire to become, serve them. Word of warning, this part of the process is the gauntlet of leadership and coaching. If you believe serving leads directly to opportunity, you are mislead and that error in thinking will cost you dearly. Watch ...
LEADERS MUST DO THEIR HOMEWORK TO BECOME PURVEYORS OF HOPE
September 13, 2023 13:42 - 22 minutes - 20.5 MBLEADERS MUST DO THEIR HOMEWORK TO BECOME PURVEYORS OF HOPE “Perhaps you’ve heard the phrase, ‘Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.’ Perhaps you have even seen the reality of this idea prove itself out. Generational addictions, generational poverty, generational incarceration all seem to be hard cycles to defeat. Those same types of cycles are found in leadership, economics, geopolitics, local and regional governmental policy making as well. Leaders who feel confident t...
LEADERS REALIZE FREEDOM IS NOT A NATURAL STATE OF HUMANS IT IS A LEARNED BEHAVIOR
September 12, 2023 14:23 - 22 minutes - 20.9 MBLEADERS REALIZE FREEDOM IS NOT A NATURAL STATE OF HUMANS IT IS A LEARNED BEHAVIOR “Whether you are bound by your own bad ideas, outmoded belief systems, or simple lies and deceptions, there is a strange comfort in knowing where you stand. Leaders who acknowledge this reality are alone empowered to raise awareness in the hearts and minds of those who are not able to see where they are bound. Aristotle said, “Tyrants want their subjects to be strangers.” WHY? Because those who see the invisibl...
LEADERS ARE EFFECTIVE WHEN THEY SOLVE THE PROBLEMS AT HAND RATHER THAN CREATING PROBLEMS TO SOLVE
September 11, 2023 12:42 - 24 minutes - 22 MBLEADERS ARE EFFECTIVE WHEN THEY SOLVE THE PROBLEMS AT HAND RATHER THAN CREATING PROBLEMS TO SOLVE “Leaders are most effective when they are efficient problem solvers. Whether tacking a problem head on, delegating or collaborating, they identify the problem at hand and spring into action. Leaders are futuristic when they identify a challenge which will imminently occur and preemptively propose a workable solution. Too many of today’s leaders are determined to prove themselves to be worthwhile...
HEY LEADER, DANCE WITH THE ONE WHO BRUNG YOU!
September 08, 2023 13:21 - 22 minutes - 20.3 MBHEY LEADER, DANCE WITH THE ONE WHO BRUNG YOU! “Too many leaders believe they must emulate or model others who have become their ideal pinnacle of success. When they witness the meteoric rise of an unknown somebody to stardom, they suddenly lay aside everything they have been building so they can mimic the super star. The first reality is, most people who you see becoming an overnight success have been building in the dark for a long, long time. Second reality is, their success is the result...
LEADERS WHO EXERCISE COMPASSION ARE NOT WEAK BUT PROFOUNDLY STRONG
September 07, 2023 13:10 - 23 minutes - 21.9 MBLEADERS WHO EXERCISE COMPASSION ARE NOT WEAK BUT PROFOUNDLY STRONG “Looking beyond the circumstances to see the humanity in any situation requires something special. A special type of discipline to think beyond self, to ask how might I benefit someone else, what part of my emotion response to the moment is simply self serving. This exercise is more than empathy or pity. This conscious awareness of the dignity of other humans requires a strong and accurate assessment of self.” J Loren Norris...
GREAT LEADERS PREPARE THOSE IN THEIR CHARGE FOR FUTURE LEADERSHIP
September 06, 2023 13:18 - 24 minutes - 22.7 MBGREAT LEADERS PREPARE THOSE IN THEIR CHARGE FOR FUTURE LEADERSHIP “There are many reasons a leader might be reticent to training and preparing the people they lead to one day lead themselves. First and I believe most common is a mild form of codependency. The leader needs to be needed. Second is the fear they will work themselves out of a job and accidentally replace themselves. Finally, among the most common reasons leaders do not invest in the future leadership roles of those in their ch...
COMMUNITY IS THE COMPLICATED PART OF LEADERSHIP
September 05, 2023 13:21 - 25 minutes - 23.3 MBCOMMUNITY IS THE COMPLICATED PART OF LEADERSHIP “Leadership is a mine field and a mind field. Leadership is demanding and exacting, ambiguous and ambivalent, rewarding and tumultuous all in one. Human relationships are some of the most convoluted systems in the universe. Thoughts and emotions are ever changing, expectations and demands meant to be fixed like goals but often are not. The more humans you add to the equation, the more all of these things are true. Oddly, this is the definition...
FACE THE TRUTH LEADER FACES LIE
August 30, 2023 14:01 - 25 minutes - 23 MBFACE THE TRUTH LEADER FACES LIE “It’s hard to admit, but we have all been fooled or deceived at one time or another. The brightest of smiles, the twinkling eyes, the familiar face, the soothing voice have lead us to believe what our spidey sense warned us was utter nonsense. As a leader, your wisdom comes through research combined with experience. Be wise. Do your homework. Develop your instincts. Grow your intuition. Don’t be fooled by the slick presenter, journalist, politician, or online...
GOOD LEADERS SOMETIMES TELL BAD STORIES
August 28, 2023 14:10 - 22 minutes - 20.2 MBGOOD LEADERS SOMETIMES TELL BAD STORIES “What dos it mean to tell a bad story? How about a story that is boring, acrimonious and disturbing? Maybe they tell a story which is based on damaging beliefs, alarming and divisive. There are stories told by leaders which have no redeeming qualities. There are stories told to manipulate, manage and malign other people. Good leaders must learn to tell better stories better. Watch this episode for some insights to this concept.” J Loren Norris WATCH...
STORYPOWER IS A LEADERSHIP ISSUE - THIS EPISODE WILL TELL YOU WHY AND HOW
August 25, 2023 13:11 - 22 minutes - 20.9 MBSTORYPOWER IS A LEADERSHIP ISSUE - THIS EPISODE WILL TELL YOU WHY AND HOW “Every one you have ever hired, will ever hire, fire, train or retain has a story. It is the anchor of the human experience. Those stories collectively are the history and the future of human societies and cultures. Those stories independently are the record of traumas, tragedies and triumphs. Each person on your team has a story and their story is now intertwined with yours making you coauthors of the future chapters....
LEADERS NEVER STOP ANALYZING THEIR OWN FAILURE
August 24, 2023 13:57 - 23 minutes - 21.2 MBLEADERS NEVER STOP ANALYZING THEIR OWN FAILURE “If you lead, you know everyone around you is watching. Some are looking for reasons to follow your example. Others are looking for a reason to mimic your successes in a their own way. Yet others are looking for your weaknesses, your missteps, your blind spots. As a leader, you must endeavor to be the first who recognizes a failure in your process, behavior, character or thoughts and pounces on it. If you take immediate, swift, decisive action t...
WHO IS YOUR LEADERSHIP SECOND STRING?
August 23, 2023 13:14 - 23 minutes - 21.3 MBWHO IS YOUR LEADERSHIP SECOND STRING? “Are you ready for the inevitable injury, delay, distraction or disruption? Do you have confidence in your own consistency to prepare your back up? If you didn’t show up tomorrow what would happen in your absence? If you got a promotion, a chance to expand and explore, the opportunity of a lifetime would your current effort carry on or collapse? You have the responsibility as leader to insure someone is prepared to take your place.” J Loren Norris WATC...
DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! LEADERSHIP DEMANDS ACTION BEYOND CONJECTURE
August 22, 2023 13:44 - 21 minutes - 19.9 MBDO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! LEADERSHIP DEMANDS ACTION BEYOND CONJECTURE “There are plenty of issues in this world, problems which demand a solution. There are plenty of folks who are more than happy to whine and complain about these problems but have no inclination to take action. Leaders are action takers. Beyond hearing the problem and voicing an option, they engage, they raise funds, they rally people, they roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty. There’s a time for talk and a time for...
LEADERS CALL THEM BLIND SPOTS BECAUSE YOU CANNOT SEE THEM FROM WHERE YOU ARE
August 21, 2023 14:10 - 25 minutes - 23.5 MBLEADERS CALL THEM BLIND SPOTS BECAUSE YOU CANNOT SEE THEM FROM WHERE YOU ARE “The most detrimental part of leadership is the failure which sneaks up on the leader. The likelihood that others have seen the object in your blind spot is high. The odds it will destroy you if not addressed? Also high. The challenge for every leader is maintaining a willingness to hear from others what those blind spots look like, the impact they have on others and the possible remedies. It is a greater leadership...
CAN YOU NAME THE LEADER, CLIENT, BOSS FROM YOUR LIFE WHO IS NOT HUMAN?
August 18, 2023 13:47 - 25 minutes - 23.5 MBCAN YOU NAME THE LEADER, CLIENT, BOSS FROM YOUR LIFE WHO IS NOT HUMAN? “Trying to name a leader, boss, client, CEO, customer who is not human IS a trick question. It might not be a trick question in years to come, but for now, the common aspect of everyone a leader must build connection with is they are human. Humans have shared experiences, shared narratives, shared frustrations and even shared joys. This is why StoryPower is so effective as a leadership tool, a personal development tool a...
THE VALUE OF WHAT A LEADER HAS TO SAY IS ALWAYS TIED TO THE CREDIBILITY OF THE LEADER MORE THAN THE THING THEY ARE TELLING
August 17, 2023 13:56 - 32 minutes - 30.1 MBTHE VALUE OF WHAT A LEADER HAS TO SAY IS ALWAYS TIED TO THE CREDIBILITY OF THE LEADER MORE THAN THE THING THEY ARE TELLING ”No matter how well you tell a story, if you don’t have trust and credibility with leadership, your story will fall on deaf ears not matter how true, important or relevant it is. The time required to build credibility is varying based on your character, your integrity, your experience and your reputation. Working with leadership which is not strong, cantankerous or cont...
CHOOSE YOUR FUTURE BY LEADING THE CONVERGENCE OF PAST AND PRESENT EXPERIENCES
August 16, 2023 14:15 - 27 minutes - 25.6 MBCHOOSE YOUR FUTURE BY LEADING THE CONVERGENCE OF PAST AND PRESENT EXPERIENCES “The power of awareness is impossible to overestimate. Leaders who are always in observation mode are ahead of the game. The ability to perceive and react before anyone else is the foundation to many multimillion dollar organizations. Cures for diseases, pathways to new societies, evolutions of education, clashes of culture, are all the result of leaders who read the past then predict or direct their future. They ...
ITS HARD TO LEAD FROM YOUR LANE AND JOCKEY FOR POSITION AT THE SAME TIME
August 15, 2023 14:08 - 27 minutes - 25 MBITS HARD TO LEAD FROM YOUR LANE AND JOCKEY FOR POSITION AT THE SAME TIME “When a leader decides they need to struggle, hustle, jockey for the next position of power, they have already decided they are too big for their lane. It is difficult and daunting to stick to your area of expertise, mind your discipline and respect those around you when you are convinced you could do their job better. The antidote to this often self destructive, career ending behavior is one of the most challenging att...
