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. 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...
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....
LEADING THE NARRATIVE REQUIRES MAPPING THE MESSAGE TO MAKE IT VIRAL THIS IS A LEADERS ROLE
April 07, 2023 14:23 - 22 minutes - 20.6 MBLEADING THE NARRATIVE REQUIRES MAPPING THE MESSAGE TO MAKE IT VIRAL THIS IS A LEADERS ROLE “Every plan starts with a brainstorm session, followed by a plan test or ‘war game’ to test the validity, then by a test of messaging in the marketplace. Some call this a focus group or test market. Some call it floating the balloon or taking the dog for a walk. In any case it is a matter of tentatively putting your ideas in the public for others to respond to. This test is needed to modify the message...

LEADERS LEAD THE NARRATIVE ONE DINNER TABLE AT A TIME
April 05, 2023 12:40 - 11 minutes - 10.5 MBLEADERS LEAD THE NARRATIVE ONE DINNER TABLE AT A TIME It’s entirely too easy to abdicate the single most influential relationship any leader will ever have. The relationship with our children, our siblings, our parents is often overlooked when seeking positions of authority, power and impact. Leaders know the power of the dinner table to set the expectations, express the core values and address the elephant in the room. That dinner table space is the opportunity to lead the narrative by lis...
LEADERS KNOW WHEN THEY'RE BEING CONDITIONED FOR FUTURE RESPONSE AND THEY MAKE MENTAL NOTES
April 04, 2023 12:59 - 16 minutes - 15.4 MBLEADERS KNOW WHEN THEY'RE BEING CONDITIONED FOR FUTURE RESPONSE AND THEY MAKE MENTAL NOTES recognizes when they are being manipulated, managed, or conditioned they should also know the place where they must stand their ground and declare ‘No More!’ Leaders who are silently accepting of the conditioning for themselves are not fit to lead those who rely on them. Leaders who do not know what core values are worth cherishing and defending are questionable as leaders. Take heart, take courage, s...
IMMERSION PLUS MOMENTUM IS THE LEADER'S MAGIC FORMULA FOR SUCCESS
April 03, 2023 13:38 - 16 minutes - 15 MBIMMERSION PLUS MOMENTUM IS THE LEADER'S MAGIC FORMULA FOR SUCCESS Distractions are multifaceted, multiplying in number and manageable when identified soon enough. Immersion on the other hand requires intense focus, intention and commitment. When a leader commits to being fully focused and engaged in the matters at hand, they model the necessary attention the rest of the team will need to operate with excellence. When a leader allows small details to go unnoticed and small issues to go unadd...
LEADERS AVOID DANCES WITH WORDS BECAUSE INTENTION AND ACTION SPEAK LOUDER
March 31, 2023 13:28 - 9 minutes - 9.04 MBLEADERS AVOID DANCES WITH WORDS BECAUSE INTENTION AND ACTION SPEAK LOUDER “It has long been said, actions speak louder than words. Unfortunately, many leaders today charge into a project or assignment with an abundance of words without understanding and intentions not backed by action. It seems there is no shortage of people with excuses, explanations and justifications but a great shortage of people who actually get stuff done. From the local fast food restaurant to the halls of congress, w...
LEADERS KNOW IS CONSISTENCY WHEN YOU THINK NO ONE IS LOOKING THAT MATTERS MOST
March 29, 2023 13:28 - 22 minutes - 20.2 MBLEADERS KNOW IS CONSISTENCY WHEN YOU THINK NO ONE IS LOOKING THAT MATTERS MOST conscious mind does not simply disappear from our lives. The drama, trauma, tragedies of life seem to linger beneath the surface and rear their ugly heads at the most inopportune time. Like a duff fire or tsunami the disaster is looming and imminent but the evidence is only detectable by those highly trained to see it. A leader who focuses on consistency when no one is looking, is a leader who has learned to find...
LEADERS KNOW AND USE THE POWER OF STORIES TO SAVE TIME, MONEY AND RELATIONSHIPS
March 28, 2023 13:52 - 19 minutes - 17.7 MBLEADERS KNOW AND USE THE POWER OF STORIES TO SAVE TIME, MONEY AND RELATIONSHIPS “Communication is a leadership key for success. Failure to communicate is costly in lost time, wasted money and damaged relationships. The power of a story to shorten the time curve is an immediate and measurable return on investment. The money saved by explaining the process appropriately and thoroughly is often unimaginable until is is seen. The damage done to relationships through poor or no communication wil...
LEADERS LOOK OUT FOR EACH OTHER BECAUSE THEY UNDERSTAND THE DEMANDS OF LEADING
March 27, 2023 14:52 - 22 minutes - 20.4 MBLEADERS LOOK OUT FOR EACH OTHER BECAUSE THEY UNDERSTAND THE DEMANDS OF LEADING “It’s difficult to lead when you face the challenges of people, production and profit. Its more difficult to lead when you realize or even feel like you’re doing so all alone. Leaders who are training up leaders should be astute enough to realize when someone they are mentoring is struggling. Whether the challenge is a self inflicted misstep, a true failure, a genuine mistake or it is the efforts of someone else...
THE BEST AND THE WORST OF HUMANITY IS SEEN IN THE FACE OF LEADERSHIP
March 24, 2023 15:06 - 19 minutes - 18 MBTHE BEST AND THE WORST OF HUMANITY IS SEEN IN THE FACE OF LEADERSHIP “From the persuasive toddler to the world’s worst tyrant, those who alter, transform or influence your behavior, choices, conversation are leaders in your life whether you call them that or not. It is not the label, the title, the position or the paycheck which defines a leader, it is the magnitude of their influence. The more ability they possess to modify your decisions, the more they are a leader. Influence does not con...
LEADERS JUMP WHEN THEY HAVE NO WINGS!
March 23, 2023 14:56 - 18 minutes - 16.8 MBLEADERS JUMP WHEN THEY HAVE NO WINGS! “Understand three things about your role as a leader when it comes to moving forward. First, as leader you must be capable of seeing a vision for the future where everyone else sees a blank slate. Next, you musty be willing to take risks others are not willing to take. Finally, you must be able to see it is not all about you. Your future is not your past or present, it is more about how you will impact others today and for the future of your legacy.” J ...

March 21, 2023 17:54 - 20 minutes - 19.1 MBLEADERS WEATHER THE STORM WITH PREPAREDNESS, AWARENESS AND PERSEVERANCE & ALL LEADERSHIP IS LOCAL AND DOWNSTREAM OF CULTURE “Leadership knows when the storm is coming. Strong leaders face the storm with preparedness, awareness and perseverance. These attributes are characteristics of a culture which begins and ends with the leader. Integrity, transparency and grit are core values which drive the personal culture of strong leaders because all leadership is local. When the political storms, f...
LEADERS TRUST THOSE WHO EARN IT NOT THOSE WHO DEMAND IT
March 16, 2023 14:34 - 12 minutes - 11.2 MBLEADERS TRUST THOSE WHO EARN IT NOT THOSE WHO DEMAND IT “Leaders know the art of projection is a result of the nature of flawed humanity. When we know ourselves to be untrustworthy, we have an issue with trusting others. When a leader feels the need to remind you often that you can, should, must trust them, it is often because they feel like they have something to hide. It can also be they don’t trust you at all and subconsciously they desire to build trust by expressing trustworthiness - a...
SERVICE LEADS TO ACCESS. ACCESS LEADS TO OPPORTUNITY.
March 15, 2023 13:24 - 22 minutes - 20.4 MBSERVICE LEADS TO ACCESS. ACCESS LEADS TO OPPORTUNITY. “Nothing helps build credible relationships like the humility required to serve another. When a leader recognizes a connection which could bring future opportunities for personal growth, business exposure, or synergy in client bases the best way to test the waters is to offer something before asking for something. The most successful people in the world have been scouted, approached and taken advantage of many, many times before their a...

March 06, 2023 16:31 - 25 minutes - 23.1 MBA CLEARLY DEFINED AND WELL ARTICULATED PROCESS LEADS TO REPEATABLE SUCCESS “Leaders who are diligent about identifying, clarifying and articulating the process which lead to their success are in great position to repeat what worked. Anyone on their team stands to benefit from mistakes made, lessons learned and opportunities revealed in the process. Take the time to discover and make note of what works well and what does not.

A LEADER'S VISION HAS 3 ROLES IN BUSINESS: DRIVES EXECUTION, OPERATION AND LID SETTING
March 03, 2023 14:44 - 20 minutes - 18.8 MBA LEADER'S VISION HAS 3 ROLES IN BUSINESS: DRIVES EXECUTION, OPERATION AND LID SETTING “Without a vision, the people on your team might function but they will not function optimally. They will do the work prescribed for the day. They will have no inspiration, inclination, or innovation to do more than the scope of their job description. Any obstacle has the potential to derail any project. Every setback is a step back. Every new opportunity is a bridge too far. However, a well crafted and...
LEADERS KNOW SHORT CUTS, COST SAVINGS AND WORK AROUNDS USUALLY TAKE LONGER AND COST MORE
March 02, 2023 20:07 - 13 minutes - 12.3 MBLEADERS KNOW SHORT CUTS, COST SAVINGS AND WORK AROUNDS USUALLY TAKE LONGER AND COST MORE “A mentor of mine, Dr. Randy Weiss has reminded me many times: ‘No matter what the project, plan or production it will always take longer than you thought and cost more than you thought.’ This is no where more true than in the realm of leadership. Hiring people without due diligence might seem to be a work around to onboard training. Delaying the upgrades to tools, systems and procedures might seem to b...

The most important tool for communication is storytelling. I propose the most powerful tool for leadership is StoryPower and the best course to learn the mastery of StoryPower is the StoryPower MasterClass. Leaders who can use the power of story to present new ideas, gain buy in from those they lead, build trust with those new...
LEADERS KNOW THE NARRATIVE CONTROLS JUSTICE LIKE THE RECEPTIONIST CONTROLS THE SCHEDULE
March 02, 2023 20:07 - 18 minutes - 17.1 MBLEADERS KNOW THE NARRATIVE CONTROLS JUSTICE LIKE THE RECEPTIONIST CONTROLS THE SCHEDULE “The narrative, the script in the leader’s head, the world view which drives their opinions and strategies will always predict policies, procedures and precedence. The team they lead will learn to conform to that world view or participate elsewhere. In this way, the narrative of the leader will determine the parameters of fairness and justice. Who gets promoted, how the promotion decision is made, who ge...
THE NARRATIVE EXPRESSES THE PRIORITY THROUGH THE STORIES TOLD - LEADERS CHOOSE THE STORIES
March 02, 2023 20:07 - 20 minutes - 19.1 MBTHE NARRATIVE EXPRESSES THE PRIORITY THROUGH THE STORIES TOLD - LEADERS CHOOSE THE STORIES “Every story you hear on a daily basis comes to you through a gatekeeper. These gatekeepers select, craft and deliver stories to match the narrative they wish for you to believe, follow and participate in. This narrative expresses the priorities of the gatekeepers and by implication shapes the priorities they expect you to value as well. By virtue of the influence these story selectors garner and main...
