​YOU CAN CHANGE THE WORLD IF YOU WILL COMMIT TO LEADING WITH THESE THREE INTENTIONS

August 14, 2023 14:14 - 28 minutes - 25.7 MB

YOU CAN CHANGE THE WORLD IF YOU WILL COMMIT TO LEADING WITH THESE THREE INTENTIONS “The world needs more leaders who will step out on a limb and address the proverbial elephant in the room. Lacking is the person or persons who are acutely aware of the issues at hand, especially those issues intentionally hidden. The subversive range of certain forms of communication blended with the technical ability to personalize and privatize the core message requires leaders to always be aware of effort...

THE DANCE OF LEADERSHIP IS OFTEN MORE OF A MOSH PIT THAN A TANGO OR A WALTZ

August 11, 2023 13:53 - 24 minutes - 22.6 MB

THE DANCE OF LEADERSHIP IS OFTEN MORE OF A MOSH PIT THAN A TANGO OR A WALTZ “No matter how long you are involved in leadership, you will eventually come to the conclusion not everyone shares your passion for doing the right thing. The evidence may be slow coming to light, painful to acknowledge and devastating to your relationships but awareness beats blind trust any day of the week. Understanding your role in the long term cycles of life and civility will give you an upper hand. Determining...

HEY LEADER SLOW YOUR ROLL AND KNOW YOUR ROLE

August 10, 2023 13:24 - 25 minutes - 23.6 MB

HEY LEADER SLOW YOUR ROLL AND KNOW YOUR ROLE “One of the mist distracting and damaging behaviors of a young leader is the ambition to prove their power, their influence and their worth. Often this insecurity is expressed through taking on more roles than they can competently accomplish. Sometimes it manifests in attempting to do the job of others before they have had a chance to fail or succeed for themselves. This behavior does not prove the validity of the leader, instead it usually tests ...

WHEN CANCEL CULTURE CALLS WILL YOU LEAD OR CAPITULATE? ​ 

August 09, 2023 15:13 - 24 minutes - 22.6 MB

WHEN CANCEL CULTURE CALLS WILL YOU LEAD OR CAPITULATE? ​  “Too often the path of least resistance has great appeal because it offers the illusion of going along to get along with others. When peer pressure, the cultural norm, the status quo threaten what’s right and what’s best in the long run, it is essential for leaders to know the difference. Are you prepared to stand your ground? Do you know where the proverbial line in the sand exists for you? There are too many philosophical hills to ...

GREAT LEADERS KNOW WHEN A TEAM MEMBER IS AT RISK OF DROWNING

August 08, 2023 14:21 - 25 minutes - 23.6 MB

GREAT LEADERS KNOW WHEN A TEAM MEMBER IS AT RISK OF DROWNING “When a team member is in over their head, overwhelmed with their assignments or the stress of the role they are filling it is the job of the leader to be aware and engaged. A leader who allows the onslaught of life to slip into the soul of their team unnoticed and unhindered is a leader too focused on their own issues. Be willing to step in and rescue, render aid or even assist in getting the job done.  Before you consider replaci...

SQUEEZE PLAY IS A STRATEGY TO PUSH LEADERS FROM EFFECTIVE TO COMPLIANT

August 07, 2023 14:19 - 23 minutes - 21.8 MB

SQUEEZE PLAY IS A STRATEGY TO PUSH LEADERS FROM EFFECTIVE TO COMPLIANT “”The pressure to fit in to societal expectations is increasing every generation. Leaders are daily under attack to conform to and confirm some of the silliest ideas ever expressed. Sadly, those who are notorious for manufacturing some of the notions we now call normal, are ruthless in gaining buy-in to their ludicrous ideas. From film making to music, from elementary school library’s to the most viewed award shows if e...

THE GOTCHA STYLED INTERVIEW IS THE ARMPIT OF LEADERSHIP

August 04, 2023 13:55 - 22 minutes - 21 MB

THE GOTCHA STYLED INTERVIEW IS THE ARMPIT OF LEADERSHIP “The leader who is on the verbal offensive in every interaction , interview or encounter is the unwanted participant of any relationship. It is either the narcissist or nihilist nature in a leader which pushes them to play gotcha in every conversation. The attack on personhood, status, class, education, race, beliefs is seldom based on merit or demerit of the actual attribute. Most commonly the one sided verbal sparring is designed only...

​LEADERSHIP GROWS THROUGH THREE CHANNELS HIDDEN IN THIS EPISODE

August 02, 2023 13:55 - 23 minutes - 21.9 MB

LEADERSHIP GROWS THROUGH THREE CHANNELS HIDDEN IN THIS EPISODE “Like driving a vehicle with a manual transmission, if you don’t do right in first gear the other gears won’t work well at all. Failure to build the appropriate amount of system pressure in gear one, means no momentum, no torque, no acceleration or speed in subsequent gears. The analogy in this lesson is strong. The three gears one must negotiate are indispensable for relationships, business, career, education and especially lea...

ONCE A LEADER ALWAYS A LEADER - TRUE OR FALSE?

August 01, 2023 13:47 - 25 minutes - 23.8 MB

ONCE A LEADER ALWAYS A LEADER - TRUE OR FALSE? “The skills required to become an effective leader are not skills which evaporate over time. Unlike athleticism demonstrated at a young age, leadership mastery is lifelong learning more akin to the skills such as mastering the game of golf or tennis. If you have become skilled at leadership, leadership follows you into every environment, for better or worse. The best leaders learn to temper leadership skill set with patience, kindness, compassi...

​WELDER OR PHILOSOPHER WHICH ONE IS A LEADER?

July 31, 2023 14:07 - 21 minutes - 19.9 MB

WELDER OR PHILOSOPHER WHICH ONE IS A LEADER? “Having experienced my share of manual labor, sore muscles, aching joints, sunburnt neck and scarred hands, I can tell you for a fact, a day of intense mind work is equally tasking and exhausting. To know for a fact, no one is as invested or interested in your success and safety as you, seems silly to say, but frivolous lawsuits abounding proves it is not common knowledge. If you want success in this life, you must pursue it. You must put in the ...

​LEADERSHIP DONE WELL MAY WELL COST YOU EVERYTHING

July 28, 2023 13:26 - 20 minutes - 18.8 MB

LEADERSHIP DONE WELL MAY WELL COST YOU EVERYTHING “The sacrifices made by leaders who have gone before you demand the utmost of commitment from you. As a leader, you will be asked to give. Likely you will be asked to give more than you could have imagined. Your time, talent, treasure and attention will all be on the chopping block along side your physical, financial and emotional well being. When you have defended those things well, your peace of mind, your reputation, your good name will b...

YOU INFLUENCE THEREFORE YOU LEAD HOW DO YOU INFLUENCE?

July 27, 2023 14:04 - 22 minutes - 20.8 MB

YOU INFLUENCE THEREFORE YOU LEAD HOW DO YOU INFLUENCE? “When you have the floor, when you have the mic, when you have the worlds attention, what will you do with it? So many influencers strive and struggle to gain the traction of notoriety. So many influencers have the ambition of climbing the ladder of clicks, views, subscribes and shares. So many influencers will stoop to any level of moral deprivation, antics and self depreciation just for the attention and associated income. If you work...

IMHO GREAT LEADERS ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH SURFACE LEVEL THINKING

July 26, 2023 13:43 - 24 minutes - 22.4 MB

IMHO GREAT LEADERS ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH SURFACE LEVEL THINKING “I am by no means an academic snob, I am not qualified to be one. I am not superior to anyone, the average chimp likely has a higher IQ. However, I do appreciate and value a conversation of substance over fluff any day of the week. I prefer to think deeply and to consider tough subjects I do not agree with initially. It perhaps is a Machiavellian and self serving of me to project this same ideological position on ‘great leader...

EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED - LEADERSHIP DEMANDS READINESS TO ADAPT AND OVERCOME - BE PREPARED TO INNOVATE

July 25, 2023 13:32 - 22 minutes - 20.9 MB

EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED - LEADERSHIP DEMANDS READINESS TO ADAPT AND OVERCOME - BE PREPARED TO INNOVATE “It seems oxymoronic to expect what cannot be expected, no? Truth is, being prepared in such a way as to be agile, responsive and resolute is the nature of good leadership. If we knew all the obstacles we would face and the perfect strategy to conquer them on the first, try we would never grow. When life changes, shifts and undulates around us, leaders move like a buoy at sea allowing the wi...

​CRAFTING THE STORY WHICH SHAPES THE FUTURE IS A PRIMARY ROLE OF LEADERSHIP

July 19, 2023 13:53 - 25 minutes - 22.9 MB

CRAFTING THE STORY WHICH SHAPES THE FUTURE IS A PRIMARY ROLE OF LEADERSHIP “The pick up line, the brand slogan, the sales pitch, the battle cry they are all tools of the same origin. These are the stories we select to tell to win over a date, a business partner, a customer, a toddler, an investor to our way of thinking. These stories are carefully selected, diligently crafted, masterfully connected and expertly delivered. When all the puzzle pieces fall in place we win. When all the puzzle ...

LEADERS NEED SPACE TO FOCUS - GUARDED TIME TO THINK, PLAN AND PROCESS

July 18, 2023 17:02 - 15 minutes - 13.8 MB

LEADERS NEED SPACE TO FOCUS - GUARDED TIME TO THINK, PLAN AND PROCESS “Busy is a double edged sword. The leader who does not commit to taking time for themselves to think, plan and process their experiences will burn out and possibly self destruct. It’s nice to think the longer one is a leader, the more they can handle. Truth is, the more people and things one has to lead, the more white space they need in their life. Take time to create margin or you will find yourself in the deep end barl...

LEADERS KNOW THAT APPRECIATION IS MORE DIFFICULT WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING

July 18, 2023 14:02 - 26 minutes - 24.3 MB

LEADERS KNOW THAT APPRECIATION IS MORE DIFFICULT WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING “Appreciation and gratitude are related but not the same. It is possible and even practical to be grateful for an outcome without truly appreciating all the effort necessary to pull it off. To experience true appreciation, one must understand the process, understand the effort, understand the commitment required and invested. I love to listen to music of all types. I love to watch American football. I love to eat a great...

FEELINGS ARE NOT FACTS. GREAT LEADERS UNDERSTAND WHY THIS MATTERS IN DECISION MAKING AND LEADING

July 17, 2023 14:25 - 24 minutes - 22.5 MB

FEELINGS ARE NOT FACTS. GREAT LEADERS UNDERSTAND WHY THIS MATTERS IN DECISION MAKING AND LEADING “Great leaders make decisions based on facts properly evaluated not fickle emotions. Emotions, feelings are fickle and can not be trusted. Please make note, your insights, your experience, your wisdom might cause your tail to wiggle in regard to a situation or relationship but that is not a feeling based decision, it is an emotion or feeling resulting from knowledge you have which others may not...

FEAR WILL STOP A LEADER FROM PERFORMING EVEN THE MOST BASIC SKILLS AND FUNCTIONS THEY HAVE MASTERED

July 17, 2023 11:33 - 24 minutes - 22.7 MB

FEAR WILL STOP A LEADER FROM PERFORMING EVEN THE MOST BASIC SKILLS AND FUNCTIONS THEY HAVE MASTERED ”Fear is a killer of dreams, a dead end for ideas, a silencer of hope. Even the most skilled operator in any discipline will fail if they allow fear to freeze them. The better skilled, the deeper the mastery, the more disciplined the leader, the more likely neither crisis nor chaos will disrupt excellent execution. As a fire fighter, we were trained time and time again to respond in proper ha...

​LEADERS ARE THE FIBERS IN THE FABRIC OF SOCIETY WHICH NEED STRENGTHENED

July 13, 2023 12:54 - 13 minutes - 12.4 MB

LEADERS ARE THE FIBERS IN THE FABRIC OF SOCIETY WHICH NEED STRENGTHENED “When the fibers are weak, the fabric stands no chance in the friction and fray of life. The fibers in the fabric of society are those who exert influence in the lives of others. In other words, the fiber which makes up the fabric of societies around the world are leaders. Leaders of families, leaders of communities, leaders of companies large or small are the reason societies and cultures maintain their integrity. When...

LEADERS KNOW BREAKING THE THERMOMETER WILL NOT STOP A HEAT WAVE

July 12, 2023 13:34 - 24 minutes - 22.7 MB

​LEADERS KNOW BREAKING THE THERMOMETER WILL NOT STOP A HEAT WAVE “Changing or destroying the standard measuring device which alerts you to a problem is not a solution to your problem. Relabeling something, someone, some idea does not transform the essence or nature along with the new label. From a company’s annual sales quotas, to a nations moral compass, the tools used to measure achievement or accomplishment is as important as effort of the individuals. This notion is only more true when a...

What is the purpose and meaning behind LEAD THE NARRATIVE TV? by J Loren Norris

July 11, 2023 18:39 - 4 minutes - 3.87 MB

What is the purpose and meaning behind LEAD THE NARRATIVE TV? by J Loren Norris We all have heard the stories selectively chosen by major media, by politicians, by medical experts, by agenda driving school curriculum and by those with a specific slant. We recognize the stories as part of a big picture plan and a larger narrative. We understand their worldviews as they are exposed by these stories. But when we disagree with the worldview, oppose the agenda, are disgusted by the disingenuou...

LEADERS UNDERSTAND THE POWER OF THEIR STORY WHILE ACKNOWLEDGING NO ONE CARES ABOUT THEIR STORY

July 11, 2023 15:03 - 24 minutes - 22.6 MB

LEADERS UNDERSTAND THE POWER OF THEIR STORY WHILE ACKNOWLEDGING NO ONE CARES ABOUT THEIR STORY ”The leaders most potent power rests in the masterful skill of communication. Communicating what? Instruction, wisdom, vision, expectations, goals? Yes. Aside from the lecture styled handbook, standardized operating procedures and employee manual a great leader communicates hope, encouragement, wisdom and wit through stories. A leader who has been through some stuff has the power to mentor those wh...

LEADERS KNOW THE HARDEST WORK IS THE MIND WORK AND LEADING THE NARRATIVE IS MIND WORK

July 07, 2023 13:19 - 26 minutes - 23.9 MB

LEADERS KNOW THE HARDEST WORK IS THE MIND WORK AND LEADING THE NARRATIVE IS MIND WORK “Manual labor is the back bone of nation building, cultural strength and societal character. Without manual labor there are no roads, bridges or homes. Without manual labor no farms, food or future. Without manual labor life as we know it comes to a screeching halt. Manual labor without thinking, planning and analysis is often wasted labor, wasted resources and wasted time. Manual labor, skilled labor requ...

LEADERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE STORY THE WORLD WILL BELIEVE LONG AFTER THEY ARE GONE

July 06, 2023 14:44 - 28 minutes - 26.4 MB

LEADERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE STORY THE WORLD WILL BELIEVE LONG AFTER THEY ARE GONE “If history belongs to the victor, we must become the victor! At minimum we must be persistent with the integrity and richness of the stories we tell. Both sides of any conflict have their own story. But the first hand experiences, the eye witness testimonies, the best documented events will be the ones to lead the narrative in victory or challenge the narrative in defeat. Be the leader who documents, recor...

​LEADERS GUARD, LIBERTY, FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE FOR GOOD REASON

July 05, 2023 13:29 - 24 minutes - 22 MB

​LEADERS 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 MB

UNICORNS 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 MB

HARD 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 MB

A 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 MB

LEADERS 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 MB

LEADERS 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 MB

LEADERS 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 MB

WARNING 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 MB

LEADING 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 MB

LEADERS 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 ...

LEADING WITHOUT A CLEAR VISION IS NOT LEADING IT IS WANDERING AS A HERD

June 13, 2023 15:05 - 13 minutes - 12.6 MB

LEADING 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 MB

ARE 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...

June 09, 2023 13:38 - 18 minutes - 17.3 MB

THE 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 MB

HEY 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 MB

ASK 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 MB

​ITS 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 MB

LEADERS 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 MB

LEADERSHIP 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 “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.
