LEADERS GUARD, LIBERTY, FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE FOR GOOD REASON
July 05, 2023 13:29 - 24 minutes - 22 MBLEADERS GUARD, LIBERTY, FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE FOR GOOD REASON “You are free from the restraint of British Law, is that the same as personal independence? You are free to speak your mind, share your opinions, air your grievances but do you have liberty to vocalize your ideas without consequences? Those who demand freedom to do as they please and yet still demand someone else pay for food, shelter, clothing and education do not comprehend independence. So long as someone else is paying th...
UNICORNS AND SILENT LEADERS ARE FOUND IN THE SAME PLACE
June 30, 2023 13:19 - 20 minutes - 18.5 MBUNICORNS AND SILENT LEADERS ARE FOUND IN THE SAME PLACE “The darkest places, most miserable places, most lonely places are reserved for those who knew the right thing to say or do who instead chose the path of no resistance to remained silent and still. Theirs is the destiny of fools. They possessed the power, the opportunity and the influence to redirect the course of human history but not the will. Fear of the loss of monetary gain, personal liberties, and luxurious relationships was weig...
HARD TRUTH - EFFECTIVE LEADERS ARE NOT ALWAYS LIKABLE LEADERS
June 29, 2023 13:18 - 16 minutes - 15.1 MBHARD TRUTH - EFFECTIVE LEADERS ARE NOT ALWAYS LIKABLE LEADERS “The right thing is not always the popular thing. Because this is true, the effective leader is not always the most popular leader. Like a parent taking their toddler to the doctor for a shot - holding them still whilst they writhe in pain and fear, we presume to know what’s best for them and we bear the pain of their despising us long enough to administer their well being. An effective leader is not always the most likable leade...
A LEADERS SUCCESS MAKES THEM A TARGET OF THE LAZY AND UNSCRUPULOUS
June 28, 2023 13:35 - 20 minutes - 18.6 MBA LEADERS SUCCESS MAKES THEM A TARGET OF THE LAZY AND UNSCRUPULOUS “If you’re competing with fools you will always lose. Its like arguing with idiots they will drag you into their world of debate and then beat with you with experience. To win, to find success, to enjoy constant improvement requires understanding the game of life well. Here is success in a nutshell. If you are doing all you can to be the best you every day, you are well on your way. If you are competing only with you, if you ...
LEADERS KNOW TO SOMEONE HAS TO START THE RIPPLE
June 26, 2023 13:44 - 16 minutes - 14.7 MBLEADERS KNOW TO SOMEONE HAS TO START THE RIPPLE “Without the first stone tossed, there would be no ripple effect in the water. As a leader, influence is your role. If you expect to see radiating influence to ever greater magnitude expanding in all directions from your influence, start with you. Being responsible for you is contagious. When you handle your own affairs, you inspire others to do the same. When you take care of what only you can take care of, the ripple effect encourages others...
LEADERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR VISION, MISSION AND PURPOSE WITHOUT THEM THERE IS CHAOS
June 23, 2023 13:36 - 17 minutes - 16.2 MBLEADERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR VISION, MISSION AND PURPOSE WITHOUT THEM THERE IS CHAOS “All the effort in the world, all the energy exerted, resources committed, talents applied will not overcome the chaos created by a lack of vision. A team without a clear purpose, mission and vision will flounder. Like bunnies in a pen with a hungry wolf, viciously active with zero productivity is a team with no clear vision. It is the leaders role and responsibility to ensure the vision is well constructed ...
LEADERS WHO MENTOR LEADERS PROVIDE SECURITY FOR THOSE THEY LEAD
June 22, 2023 13:39 - 17 minutes - 16.3 MBLEADERS WHO MENTOR LEADERS PROVIDE SECURITY FOR THOSE THEY LEAD “The insecure leader will often fail to thrive like a new born with no nutrition. The most important nutrient to a leader’s success is self confidence. That confidence, that sense of security is built by the faith other leaders exhibit toward you. If you have grown in leadership to a high level of competence and confidence it is likely because someone mentored you and offered a secure environment for you to grow in, to take ris...
WARNING TO LEADERS - AVOID APATHY
June 21, 2023 13:23 - 11 minutes - 10.3 MBWARNING TO LEADERS - AVOID APATHY “Nothing is more powerful for shaping the society we live in than passion in the heart of devoted and fearless leaders. The antidote to that catalyst is apathy. The uninterrupted barrage of emotionally charged events, news reports or optical illusions foisted on the American population (and almost every other western society globally) is designed to emotionally overwhelm the sympathy, empathy and emotional well being of leaders at every level. Leaders in the...
LEADING WITH STRENGTH IS ABOUT CONVICTION RATHER THAN ARROGANCE
June 20, 2023 13:16 - 11 minutes - 10.4 MBLEADING WITH STRENGTH IS ABOUT CONVICTION RATHER THAN ARROGANCE “It is not the boisterous, over bearing, demanding, self righteous leader who represents strong leadership. When a leader is well heeled in their convictions, well informed in their thought processes and well established in their influences they are strong leaders. It is the strength of their conviction which emboldens them against the risk of change, the outcries of opposition and the resolve of the status quo. It is the humil...
LEADERS LEARN TO USE STORY TO CONVEY AND COMMIT OTHERS TO THE DRIVING VISION
June 19, 2023 13:54 - 15 minutes - 13.9 MBLEADERS LEARN TO USE STORY TO CONVEY AND COMMIT OTHERS TO THE DRIVING VISION “IMHO A proper vision statement should not sound like a bullet point list, a recipe, a set of goals or menu. A story which compels others emotionally to become a part of the vision has much more lasting and expansive effect. A vision statement should be a story of a future not yet seen which paints a picture, inspires action, evokes emotion and causes others to want to repeat that story. It should draw others into ...
ONE OF YOUR GREATEST TOOLS AS A LEADER IS STORYTELLING - STORYPOWER IS WORLD CHANGING

LEADING WITHOUT A CLEAR VISION IS NOT LEADING IT IS WANDERING AS A HERD
June 13, 2023 15:05 - 13 minutes - 12.6 MBLEADING WITHOUT A CLEAR VISION IS NOT LEADING IT IS WANDERING AS A HERD “You can go on a journey alone or with friends. You can adventure or trek or explore alone or with a team. You can choose to go one way or another and expect people to follow you. That’s wandering with a herd. However, if you want to truly lead, you will need a vision worth participating in, sacrificing for, and pursuing at all cost. You will need to be clear and articulate about your purpose, your end goal, the benefit...
ARE YOUR BIGGEST DECISIONS LEAD BY OPPORTUNITY, INCOME OR VALUES?
June 12, 2023 13:56 - 20 minutes - 18.6 MBARE YOUR BIGGEST DECISIONS LEAD BY OPPORTUNITY, INCOME OR VALUES? “As your influnce grows in magnitude and measure, it also grows in value. At some point there will be an offer to buy in to your influnce. Perhaps the offer will ask you to promote a product, service, philosophy or idea. Perhaps the offer will ask you to cease offering the same. There are many whose financial capacity and social leverage are enough to persuade almost anyone. Their agenda may be nefarious but the offer is legi...
THE LEADERSHIP VACUUM IS NOT MY PROBLEM ITS OUR PROBLEM AND WE MUST SOLVE IT
June 09, 2023 13:38 - 18 minutes - 17.3 MBTHE LEADERSHIP VACUUM IS NOT MY PROBLEM ITS OUR PROBLEM AND WE MUST SOLVE IT “The voices of reason, resonance and recalcitrant logic are perpetuating hope. The giants of tyranny are exercising the leverage of their power to silence them. From shadow bans to deplatforming, the powers that be can change the narrative with the flip of a switch. They can control your ability to speak out, to conduct business, to influence thoughts and behaviors, they have even the wherewithal to remove your acc...
HEY LEADER! IF YOU DON’T STAND IN THE GAP WHO WILL?
June 08, 2023 12:59 - 16 minutes - 15.4 MBHEY LEADER! IF YOU DON’T STAND IN THE GAP WHO WILL? “If we all become a society of observe and reporters, who will actually stand in harms way to defend the defenseless? There are those who have the will to defend and not the capacity. There are those who have the capacity to defend and not the will. Then there are those who silently have the will and capacity and they only need the reason. The time is quickly approaching when those in the last group will need to stand up, speak up and act ...
ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION: WHAT IS THE COUNTER NARRATIVE I SHOULD BE LEADING?
June 07, 2023 13:25 - 16 minutes - 14.8 MBASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION: WHAT IS THE COUNTER NARRATIVE I SHOULD BE LEADING? “Your story of success is not the story being told in the major media, the social media or the classroom. In fact, when you tell your story of success you most likely are skittish about telling the truth in public hearing. Why? Because chances are the five most basic steps, thought processes or core values which lead to your achievements are considered out dated, racist, hegemony and not welcomed on today’s colle...
ITS HARD TO ARGUE WITH A LEADER’S EXPERIENCE
June 06, 2023 13:42 - 20 minutes - 18.9 MBITS HARD TO ARGUE WITH A LEADER’S EXPERIENCE. ONE CAN ARGUE WITH EDUCATION, PHILOSOPHY AND EVEN FACTS, BUT EXPERIENCE IS A BIT TOO PERSONAL TO OVERCOME “The philosophy of the school room in this generation will be the philosophy of the government in the next. If you want to reshape the entire world, you need only change the content of what is taught in the class room. A kinetic war is not always required. Reshaping culture will happen as those with philosophical input and no experience be...
LEADERS STRIVE TO BE A BRILLIANT CONVERSATIONALIST
June 05, 2023 14:04 - 15 minutes - 14.2 MBLEADERS STRIVE TO BE A BRILLIANT CONVERSATIONALIST EVERY ROOM A LEADER ENTERS PRESENTS FOUNDATION FOR A DIFFERENT CONVERSATION. STRIVE TO BE A BRILLIANT CONVERSATIONALIST “Learning to speak in every conversation at a different level is a necessity for leadership. To assume one can converse with every person the same is obviously a delusion. Oddly, many leaders assume they can enter a new conversation with people from different walks of life, with differing histories, priorities and core va...
LEADERSHIP MUST BE AS DIVERSE AS A PIZZA BUFFET SALAD BAR
June 02, 2023 13:42 - 19 minutes - 18.3 MBLEADERSHIP MUST BE AS DIVERSE AS A PIZZA BUFFET SALAD BAR “Leadership is not a hammer and not everyone you lead can me influenced like a nail. The willingness of a leader to assess, consider and apply the differences of one personality versus another is critical before determining the path of communication. A great leader cannot lead everyone the same way. Determining which one needs nurture and which one needs challenge to respond is the artful requirement of the leader.” J Loren Norris...
GREAT LEADERS ARE DEALERS IN HOPE AND ENCOURAGEMENT
June 01, 2023 14:24 - 20 minutes - 18.4 MBGREAT LEADERS ARE DEALERS IN HOPE AND ENCOURAGEMENT “Its has been said humans can live 40 days without food, seven days without water but only seconds without hope. Leaders must give time and attention to understanding the needs, and emotional language of those they lead. Speaking to them the way they hear will give great power for you to encourage them and offering hope. Great leaders deal in hope and encouragement to build their teams.” J Loren Norris WATCH THE VIDEO 6-01-23: Leading L...
THE SIZE OF EVERY LEADERSHIP PROBLEM IS A FIRST PERSPECTIVE ISSUE THEN A FOCUS ISSUE
May 31, 2023 13:33 - 19 minutes - 17.7 MBTHE SIZE OF EVERY LEADERSHIP PROBLEM IS A FIRST PERSPECTIVE ISSUE THEN A FOCUS ISSUE “The inability to see a problem from more than one perspective can be catastrophic in your leadership endeavor. The desire to focus on the minute details will often cloud the picture of reality in the blurry periphery. Take time to ask your core team, your inner circle and your coaches or mentors for their perspective on your problems. Zoom out to perceive the bigger picture. Your problems won’t likely disa...
LEADERS MUST REGAIN THE ART OF FACE TO FACE COMMUNICATION
May 30, 2023 13:59 - 16 minutes - 14.8 MBLEADERS MUST REGAIN THE ART OF FACE TO FACE COMMUNICATION “No amount of analysis can render the true meaning behind an AI generated, CGI produced, data driven model of leadership. The plethora meanings, conjectures and manipulations would be incalculable. For a human to offer a simple review of content versus intent would be the equivalent to a doctoral thesis. Humans must remain vigilant to remain relevant. Todays youth are conditioned to trust digital assets over human insight, to expect ...
LEADERS HOLD THE LINE WHEN THE PATH AHEAD IS UNCLEAR
May 29, 2023 14:03 - 15 minutes - 14.6 MBLEADERS HOLD THE LINE WHEN THE PATH AHEAD IS UNCLEAR “It is inevitable as a leader to face times when the future is unclear, unknown and possibly unknowable. No one knew the result of the pandemic, not from a health standpoint, a geo political standpoint or an economic standpoint. Every leader faced the fog of the future like a fiery NASCAR crash at 220 mph. Without a great spotter, knowledge of the race course and nerves of steel, the odds of survival are zero percent. With a bonafide men...
CONTROL AND INFLUENCE ARE NOT THE SAME. GOOD LEADERS KNOW THE DIFFERENCE (REPLAY)
May 22, 2023 12:37 - 16 minutes - 14.8 MBCONTROL AND INFLUENCE ARE NOT THE SAME. GOOD LEADERS KNOW THE DIFFERENCE “While influence can be used to control others, control and influence are not the same. Influence advises, admonishes, informs, perhaps cautions, and still allows the decision to be made by those influenced. Control might use influence as a means to an end, but the end is always the same, a surrender of will and rights. Persuasion, manipulation, threats are all mechanisms of control and often influence is used to oper...
GREAT LEADERS MAKE SPACE AND OPPORTUNITY FOR THE FORGOTTEN AND OVERLOOKED
May 19, 2023 12:53 - 13 minutes - 12 MBGREAT LEADERS MAKE SPACE AND OPPORTUNITY FOR THE FORGOTTEN AND OVERLOOKED “Loving the unlovable as a leader is harder than leading volunteers. The compassion, caring and concern demonstrated by those who make space for the forgotten and overlooked is a remarkable feature of their character and quality. John Maxwell says ‘Talent is never enough’. Taking time to look past the super stardom of performance and talent in into the heart of the person is a sign of a great leader. Such compassion is...
LEADERS KNOW FREE SPEECH AND OPEN DEBATE BOTH CHALLENGE AND SOLIDIFY IDEAS AND BELIEFS

BLINDSPOT MONITORS WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE AND YOUR LEADERSHIP
May 16, 2023 13:57 - 25 minutes - 23.2 MBBLINDSPOT MONITORS WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE AND YOUR LEADERSHIP “Are you willing to admit you have blind spots? If not, they are likely to become a destructive factor in your life on the highway and your life in leadership. You need monitors in your car and in your inner circle to alert you to obstacles and obstructions in your path, in your blind spots. You do have blind spots, now you need to ask: What are they? How can I alleviate them? What happens if I do not deal with them? Who can see the...
TOO MANY OPTIONS CAN PARALYZE A LEADER INTO IN ACTION - FOCUS IS THE ANTIDOTE
May 15, 2023 13:01 - 15 minutes - 14.5 MBTOO MANY OPTIONS CAN PARALYZE A LEADER INTO IN ACTION - FOCUS IS THE ANTIDOTE A leader who does not have clarity of vision will not have clarity of assignments. This means every assignment from their short and long term goals to their daily to-do list will be mottled, unclear and likely unaccomplished. Simply reiterating the vision on a regular basis will reinforce the purpose, the mission, and the necessity of the daily work. This practice will limit distractions and obliterate the tyranny...
THE MOST PROFOUND, IRREPLACEABLE, CRITICAL ROLE IN LEADERSHIP IS…
May 12, 2023 13:26 - 16 minutes - 15 MBTHE MOST PROFOUND, IRREPLACEABLE, CRITICAL ROLE IN LEADERSHIP IS… “If you love them, you will correct them, direct them, influence and inspire them. A parent’s role in leadership is critically irreplaceable. Too many parents abdicate their responsibility to social media companies, media, Hollywood, and a questionable education system. Be a firm leader, lead the narrative, speak life, give hope, empower them to their own greatness. Be that kind of leader, a responsible parent.” J Loren No...
WHEN THE WELL RUNS DRY LEADERS KNOW ITS TIME TO REFRESH AND REPLENISH
May 11, 2023 13:10 - 17 minutes - 15.9 MBWHEN THE WELL RUNS DRY LEADERS KNOW ITS TIME TO REFRESH AND REPLENISH “Your refill and mine are not likely the same. What charges you up, fills you with life, gives you meaning, pizzazz and energy might be boring as all get out to me and those you lead. It’s also possible that exertion, debate, exercise, a long walk are the thing to recharge your batteries where mine is reading, learning, and studying. Some see that as killing time, I know it is a refill and a refresh. Whatever refills you, ...
IGNORING THE DETAILS TO MANAGE THE NARRATIVE IS NOT THE ROLE OF GOOD LEADERS BUT OF MANIPULATORS
May 10, 2023 14:03 - 18 minutes - 17.3 MBIGNORING THE DETAILS TO MANAGE THE NARRATIVE IS NOT THE ROLE OF GOOD LEADERS BUT OF MANIPULATORS “Like leaving ingredients out of the cake recipe or telling less than the whole truth in the courts of law, skipping significant details because they do not suit your agenda is not a sign of good leadership. Managing the details and flow of information for the sake of crafting a narrative which has only one beneficiary is clearly manipulation at best and corruption at worst. These are not the ac...

LEADERS LOOK BEHIND THE OZ CURTAIN FOR THE MACHINATIONS OF TRUTH
May 08, 2023 13:27 - 19 minutes - 18.3 MBLEADERS LOOK BEHIND THE OZ CURTAIN FOR THE MACHINATIONS OF TRUTH “The level of trust needed to operate as a true influencer in todays society grows by leaps and bounds by the minute. The level of trust a leader must create, maintain and scrutinize in their role is exponentially greater than only a decade ago. Because there are so many nefarious actors with access to tools for distribution of information, the passion for fact based decision making is a must for real leaders. Understanding thi...
LEADERS OWN THINGS LIKE PRIVATE PROPERTY, BUSINESS, THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION AND THEIR MISTAKES
May 05, 2023 13:26 - 24 minutes - 22.5 MBLEADERS OWN THINGS LIKE PRIVATE PROPERTY, BUSINESS, THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION AND THEIR MISTAKES “When it’s really yours, you take care of it. You are worried about the condition of it, the well being and the future. It matters not if it is a toy, a pet, a business or a lawn tool. If it’s yours, you have more concern for the condition and sustainability. When governments abscond with private possessions, businesses and the means of production, they not only disincentivize those who have demon...
LEADERS DO NOT LIVE FOR AWARDS NOR AFFECTATION BUT FOR AUTHENTIC IMPACT
May 04, 2023 12:55 - 15 minutes - 14.4 MBLEADERS DO NOT LIVE FOR AWARDS NOR AFFECTATION BUT FOR AUTHENTIC IMPACT “If you live for awards or lead for accolades when you get your award, you are likely done with your achievement. If you realize awards are meant to be markers on the path to your greater goals, you are more likely to leave a lasting impact. Live and lead for the authentic impact not the awards or accolades. Enjoy the episode and learn what it means to be a grass bur leader.” J Loren Norris WATCH THE VIDEO 5-4-23: htt...
LEADERS APPRECIATE THE VALUE OF A HUMAN CONVERSATION WITH NO DEVICES IN BETWEEN
May 03, 2023 12:59 - 19 minutes - 17.7 MBLEADERS APPRECIATE THE VALUE OF A HUMAN CONVERSATION WITH NO DEVICES IN BETWEEN ”Face to face, eye to eye, nose to nose, that is where the most genuine, life changing and influential conversations take place. The triple dots of the messaging app draw cowards from the hearts of the bravest warrior. They represent the same emotion as ‘we need to talk’. Deep fakes, AI conversation, trick editing, and nefarious manipulation all threaten the landscape of conversation. As a leader you must take t...
LEADERS DON’T WASTE TIME GETTING OFFENDED
May 02, 2023 13:29 - 18 minutes - 17.3 MBLEADERS DON’T WASTE TIME GETTING OFFENDED impossible to never be offended. Because this is true, we must prepare for the eventuality. Leaders must ask not IF but WHEN I am offended, how will I choose NOW to react when it happens? If leaders waste time being offended, they also waste emotional energy. There are resources which must be in full reserve or replenished regularly. Time, talent, treasure and attention will all be depleted if a leader allows offense and drama to rule their lives. Le...
LEADERS TAKE A STAND FOR WHAT THEY BELIEVE WITHOUT GAINING CONSENSUS ON THE THE CULTURAL OPINION
May 01, 2023 13:28 - 16 minutes - 15.3 MBLEADERS TAKE A STAND FOR WHAT THEY BELIEVE WITHOUT GAINING CONSENSUS ON THE THE CULTURAL OPINION “Most often ideas are pushed forward and gain momentum in popular culture by means of the most vocal constituents. Whether the majority or not, the loudest, most persistent, most demanding tend to bring about change. It is incredible that our society functions this way because the majority is not always right, just because they are the majority. Nor is the minority always right because they are...
LEADERS KNOW THE POWER OF WORDS AND USE THEM WISELY
April 26, 2023 13:36 - 17 minutes - 16 MBLEADERS KNOW THE POWER OF WORDS AND USE THEM WISELY “Responsible leaders understand the power of their words to wield harm or help in the lives of others. Words used carelessly, manipulatively or flippantly are like landmines left on the playground. There is ample evidence the damage they can cause is catastrophic. Take the time to measure your words, understand their true meanings, lasting effect, immediate application, lingering implication and resonance in the hearts and minds of culture....
CONTROL AND INFLUENCE ARE NOT THE SAME. GOOD LEADERS KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
April 25, 2023 14:04 - 16 minutes - 14.8 MBCONTROL AND INFLUENCE ARE NOT THE SAME. GOOD LEADERS KNOW THE DIFFERENCE “While influence can be used to control others, control and influence are not the same.

Control might use influence as a means to an end, but the end is always the same, a surrender of will and rights.

LEADERS KNOW WHEN TO PAUSE OR PASS BASED ON THESE THREE QUESTIONS
April 24, 2023 13:13 - 12 minutes - 11.3 MBLEADERS KNOW WHEN TO PAUSE OR PASS BASED ON THESE THREE QUESTIONS “Is it the right time? Is it the right team? Is it the right idea? Even with the best product idea, incredible speed to market, and great team integration, failure is possible. We have known of viable electric cars in the USA for more than 100 years. Unfortunately, when they were first introduced the petroleum based companies did not embrace the new ideas. The consumer staying power and the political will of the people would...
LEADERS MUST MAKE A CONCERTED EFFORT TO GENUINELY CARE ABOUT OTHERS
April 21, 2023 14:02 - 10 minutes - 9.54 MBLEADERS MUST MAKE A CONCERTED EFFORT TO GENUINELY CARE ABOUT OTHERS “Life is hard enough to survive without the added pressure of road rage, sibling rivalry at work and a boss who couldn’t care less. Leaders who become myopic and fail to remember that the majority of their team are humans, will fail to care genuinely about the concerns their teammates wrestle with daily. Taking time to care, for real, not in words but empathetically and practicality requires an intentional and concerted eff...
WISE LEADERS MASTER THE ART OF LISTENING FAST BUT ANSWERING SLOW
April 20, 2023 13:29 - 15 minutes - 14.1 MBWISE LEADERS MASTER THE ART OF LISTENING FAST BUT ANSWERING SLOW “One of my biggest faults as a leader, father, husband and friend has been speaking too soon. Perhaps before I had all the detail, more often before those I was speaking too were ready to hear. The longer I live, the more valuable I realize listening is. If you lead with a quick response and often find you have to back track, rescind, retract or correct perhaps you are talking fast and listening slowly. All leaders add more va...

LEADERS GIVE HONOR WHERE HONOR IS DUE - HONOR IS AN ATTITUDE
April 18, 2023 13:32 - 13 minutes - 12.6 MBLEADERS GIVE HONOR WHERE HONOR IS DUE - HONOR IS AN ATTITUDE “The attitude required to give honor to others is humility. Humility is the ability to think of ourselves less often and pay attention to the efforts and accomplishments of others. A leader whose ego will not allow them to give props to people on the team is a leader whose ego will allow them to flourish. Take the time to give honor, build character, set expectations, and raise the bar for everyone you influence. Take the time to ...
WISE LEADERS MANAGE MICRO NARRATIVES
April 17, 2023 13:07 - 18 minutes - 16.7 MBWISE LEADERS MANAGE MICRO NARRATIVES “The ability to impact, influence and even redirect someone’s attitude for the day through a simple phrase, comment, or gesture should never be underestimated. Leaders who are wise enough to realize this potential will also intentionally deploy comments, gestures, compliments to encourage those they lead. They will also be very diligent to avoid deleterious remarks out of hand. Be wise with your expressions and gestures. Be wise with your words, each one...
LEADERS KNOW THINGS ABOUT THOSE THEY LEAD WHICH ONE MIGHT CALL SECRETS. IS THAT GOOD?
April 13, 2023 13:07 - 21 minutes - 20 MBLEADERS KNOW THINGS ABOUT THOSE THEY LEAD WHICH ONE MIGHT CALL SECRETS. IS THAT GOOD? “It might seem like an invasion of privacy, a campaign to play gotcha, a game of leverage and consequences but it doesn’t have to be. A leader should be diligent about the business of reading people. Adding masterful skill to natural gifting is a critical responsibility of good leadership. Leaders perceive what was never spoken because they have trained themselves to spot the hidden things. Team members w...
LEADERS KNOW LEADERS GROW PERPETUALLY - WE NEVER STOP SHARPENING THE AXE
April 12, 2023 13:03 - 19 minutes - 17.9 MBLEADERS KNOW LEADERS GROW PERPETUALLY - WE NEVER STOP SHARPENING THE AXE ”There is no one alive who has it all figured out. Every leader of every level has something more to learn. Whether its communication skills, how to read people, how to negotiate in a crisis, new accounting practices, new tax laws, new ways of generating leads or serving customers, no one hass all the answers. Because this is true, every great leader is also a perpetual student. Diligence in mastery of your craft, mas...

EVERY LEADER I KNOW IS HUMAN AND SHOULD REMEMBER THOSE THEY LEAD ARE HUMANS TOO
April 10, 2023 14:19 - 18 minutes - 17.3 MBEVERY LEADER I KNOW IS HUMAN AND SHOULD REMEMBER THOSE THEY LEAD ARE HUMANS TOO “Pets need hugs. Plants need kind words. Leaders need to be authentic, sincere, compassionate and filled with grace. Why? Because every leader I know is a human and those they lead are humans too. What happens to a team with inhumane leaders? Collapse, corruption, career ending choices and bad relationships which lead to bad culture. A leader who stays in touch with their own humanity will make a greater leader....
