Cassandra Worthy | Personal, Professional, and Business Growth Nov 07, 2023

Cassandra Worthy is the founder and CEO of Change Enthusiasm Global, a well-respected Leadership Development and Consulting company. Early in Cassandra’s career, when her company was in the aftermath of a $5B acquisition, she almost quit. Fueled by frustration and stress, Cassandra was on the precipice of walking out of the office and never coming back. Had she done so, she would have become another statistic. Yet another African-American female departed from a STEM-driven industry. Top talent voluntarily resigns during a time of significant organizational shift. Another change victim.

Instead, Cassandra woke up one day and decided to view those feelings as a signal that she was sitting in a moment of opportunity. An opportunity to transform that chemistry, that feeling into something better. To choose every day to do something, say something, and behave in some way that would move the needle of her work experience towards a better feeling. Cassandra didn’t know it at the time, but she was cultivating a teachable strategy to inspire anyone to become enthusiastic about change and to find their unique power of resilience during turbulent times. Today, Cassandra helps organizations disrupt ‘change as usual’. Through a practical and repeatable framework, she shows them how they can transform their culture from surviving change to growing through change.

Change Enthusiasm is not just about positive thinking, it's about embracing all emotions as signals for growth and opportunity. Tune in to this episode as Cassandra Worthy explores real-world examples of how to navigate tough situations and make choices that lead to personal growth.

Regena Thomashauer | Reconnecting to the Goddess Within Oct 03, 2022

Regena Thomashauer — the one and only “Mama Gena” — is a teacher and best-selling author, mother and media personality, and founder and CEO of the School of Womanly Arts, which began in her living room in 1998 and has since grown into a global movement. Regena believes that women are the greatest untapped natural resource on the planet, and that as people of all genders reclaim the magnificence of the feminine, the patriarchy will fall away, liberating us all. She’s dedicated her work to women, specifically, because Regena knows Woman. And while Woman is an expansive concept (there are so many ways to be a woman), those of us who identify as women are connected through a common global experience of oppression. We are living in a culture that shames our bodies, rebukes our emotionality, fears our sexuality, violates our safety, and makes us wrong for having feminine aspects, for being women at all. In her classroom and through her books, Regena shares our foremothers’ knowledge and embodied wisdom from pre-patriarchal times, the thousands and thousands of years when goddess culture (and pleasure) reigned. She shifts the way women hold their sexuality and identities, both individually and culturally. She creates communities of women who are so outrageously and wildly expressed that they are loving the world back to itself. “I am devoted to raising women up to feel comfortable, strong and powerful in their bodies and souls. I am devoted to banishing shame and replacing it it with irrepressible pride and joy. I am devoted to teaching women to reconnect with turn-on and to release their fire, their outrageous outrage, their unstoppable love, their enthusiasm, their eros. I am devoted to women.” — Regena Thomashauer

His journey has taken him across the world working with senior leaders, intrapreneurs, and entrepreneurs, and speaking on various topics, including humanistic leadership, motivating leadership, and how to craft a job you love from a job you have. LFY Consulting bases its coaching practices on the unique LIVE system© and the Three C’s of Self-Leadership©, which integrates doctoral level applied learning theory, and curriculum and leadership development research. On the surface it’s rather simple.

Plus, they ensure that you understand the process so that you can lead yourself throughout the rest of your career and life. https://benjamin-ritter.com/

Jason Prall | The Human Longevity Project Aug 01, 2022

“When it comes to health, it's more collective than individual. You become a product of your environment and it's very easy to be healthy in these Blue Zone areas because that's the way of their life. We have to look at the situation of these healthier places and understand that their culture and societal norms facilitate health. That's easier to do when it's a small society because in a village, everyone has a responsibility and everyone is relying on each other so it's more like a family unit. It's more difficult to be healthy in the USA because you have to do all of the work on your own. We've gone astray as a culture because we've lost our sense of community and societal values due to technology.” – Jason Prall

BONUS | Kim Moriyama | Coaching the Brave Path Jun 15, 2022

Happiness and Joy are at your core. Imagine a life of fulfillment, ease and grace; a life lived from the core of who you really are. Could you be open to that possibility? Would you be open to that possibility? And when? If your answer is “now”, great! Are you brave, committed, and willing to take action for what you really want? If the answer is yes, I would be honored to support you in having, being, and doing whatever it is you choose in life. Life has a way of calling us forth to grow and transform so that we may become the person we were truly meant to become. I am here to support you in letting go of any self-imposed limitation, and unleash the happiness and joy that “is” already at your core and just waiting to energize the life that your heart deeply desires.

Life is full of change, and sometimes things go our way, and sometimes they don't. Tools and techniques are helpful in navigating life, but at a deeper level, it is our consciousness that guides us in how to use the tools appropriately. There are exquisitely simple tools and techniques that allow the life affirming energy held in the heart to flow more freely and meet life as it is. You can gently “experience” ancient wisdom and discover what it means to lead a life of loving action with ease and grace.

Larry Hagner | Gaining The Dad Edge Through Empathy & Active Listening May 23, 2022

Larry Hagner, the founder of The Dad Edge joins us on Dose of Leadership. The mission of The Dad Edge is to empower men to live and lead legendary lives.

The Dad Edge empowers men to create legendary marriages, create epic connections with our kids, master our personal finances, optimize our health (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual), and become a leader within their family.

Half of Larry’s childhood was without a father figure and the other half was with toxic father figures that came and went. He made one decision as a young boy, and it was that his kids would know who their father was. He knew firsthand, the devastating effects of growing up without a positive father figure in my life.

When he became a father for the first time in 2006, it became clear that he didn’t have the skills to be the best for his sons. He was short on patience. He was quick to anger. His marriage was mediocre at best.

He learned quickly that the desire to be a legendary father, man, and husband wasn’t enough. He had to learn the skills to actually do it.

In 2015, he decided to start The Dad Edge Podcast and learn the skills from experts to live a legendary life as a husband, father, and man. Over the past 6 years, I have interviewed over 700 experts on: parenting, mindset, patience, communication, intimacy, optimizing health, and the power of community.

In this episode we talk about the challenges of being a father, husband, and man in today’s world. We deep dive on being authentic, active listening, and the power of empathy.

Antong Lucky - Part 2 | From Incarceration to a Life of Activism May 09, 2022

A motivational and aspirational conversation with a formerly incarcerated man who transformed from founder and leader of the Dallas Bloods to a practitioner of peace and nonviolence in the neighborhood he once helped destroy

As a child of an incarcerated father, Antong Lucky grew up in an impoverished, crime-ridden neighborhood in East Dallas, Texas, born at the same time as East Dallas experienced an alarming rise in crack cocaine and heroin use. Despite his high grades and passion for learning, Antong is introduced to gang life and its consequences.

Eventually, Antong forms the Dallas Bloods gang, inaugurating a period in the 1990s of escalating retaliatory gun violence buoyed by a lucrative illegal drug enterprise until he is ultimately arrested and sentenced to seven years in prison. His journey through the doors of transformation came through the pain of incarceration and introspection that caused him to question the cognitive distortions embedded in him since childhood.

Once in prison, Antong denounced his gang affiliation and began working to unite rival gangs, quickly rising to become one of the most respected and sought-after mentors in prison.

Neil Giraldo | Living a Life of Expression, Innovation, & Creativity Mar 07, 2022

Neil Giraldo was born in 1955 in Cleveland, Ohio. Immersed in the culture of his beloved Sicilian ancestry, his parents Anthony and Angela Giraldo instilled the love of music at a young age, giving Neil his first guitar at the age of six, with the hopes that he and his sister, Priscilla, who played the accordion, could entertain family and friends with songs from the old country after church on Sundays. As Neil got older, his mentor, Uncle Tim, introduced him to revolutionary bands like The Yardbirds, The Kinks, The Rolling Stones, and all the other great guitar-driven rock ‘n’ roll bands of the 1960s. Finding new and innovative ways to shadow path his way into songs, Neil developed a discipline early on of not just playing along to his favorite artists but creating different parts for himself within those tracks. At the same time, the budding guitar artist also became proficient on piano by continuously practicing along to Chuck Berry (Johnnie Johnson), Fats Domino and Jerry Lee Lewis records. His interest in percussion instruments soon followed, practicing the drums to Simon & Garfunkel albums he explored how different rhythms could alter the complexion of songs. These practices and disciplines created the foundation for his future success as an innovative record producer and musician.

Giraldo began his professional career in 1978 as a key member of the Rick Derringer band after competing against 200 other guitarists for the position. It wasn’t long before Rick discovered Giraldo’s piano playing prowess and quickly put those skills to work in the studio for the recording Guitars and Women. In the spring of 1979, Mike Chapman introduced Giraldo to an up-and-coming singer named Pat Benatar who had recently signed to Chrysalis Records. While impressed with the young vocalist, Chapman felt she needed a musical partner who could facilitate the creation of a sound both identifiable and powerful. Over the years Neil has produced some of their biggest hits including “Love is a Battlefield” and “We Belong.”

With a back catalog of more than 100 songs written and more than 45 million records sold, Giraldo has written, produced, arranged, and recorded for Pat Benatar, John Waite, Rick Springfield, Kenny Loggins, Steve Forbert, The Del Lords, Beth Hart, The Coors, and others, which include many Grammy-nominated and Grammy-winning hits.

Today, Giraldo’s career is as dynamic and diverse as ever. He is in the process of completing two books – one an autobiographical novel, one a motivational book on the psychology of creating. He is further expanding his Bel Chiasso entertainment company, which is developing a variety of television, film and Broadway theater projects.

On May 16th 2016 Neil founded Three Chord Bourbon to celebrate creativity, community, and tradition by bringing together the award-winning musician and producer’s love of whiskey and music with his passion for conversations with family and friends. Inspired by the simplicity yet infinite expressions of the three chord progression — the foundation of the blues — Neil collaborated with master blender and distiller, Ari Sussman, to bring together notes of a variety of bourbons and create a distinctive taste in whiskey that balances simplicity and complexity in perfect harmony.

Neil has utilized this new platform to assist emerging musicians via Three Chord Musical Ambassador program. Learn more at ThreeChordBourbon.com

Micro-Dose of Leadership Traits | Understanding the USMC Foundation Dec 10, 2021

If there is one constant about the fourteen leadership traits recognized by the Marine Corps, it is that not one of them stands alone or above all the others. They are intertwined and interdependent, like the parts of a fine watch or the gears in a complex machine. Absent one trait, all the others are affected: the watch loses time, the machine malfunctions. Without unselfishness, it may be difficult to be dependable. Without knowledge, it’s tough to make solid judgment calls.

For Marines, it’s about the mission and keeping the mission central to each tactical decision. Today’s complex and knowledge-intensive world requires the kind of bottom-up leadership that Marine NCO’s undertake every day.

Jessica Tracy | How Authentic Pride Produces Success Nov 15, 2021

In this episode, leading psychologist Jessica Tracy reveals how our most misunderstood emotion—pride—has shaped our minds and our culture, and shows how we can harness its power.

Why did Paul Gauguin abandon middle-class life to follow the path of a starving artist? What explains the massive success of Steve Jobs, a man with great ideas but weak programming skills and a questionable managerial style? How did Dean Karnazes—the famed “Ultramarathon Man”—transform himself from a directionless desk jockey into an extreme athlete who once ran fifty marathons in fifty days?

As the renowned emotion researcher Jessica Tracy reveals how each of these superachievers has been motivated by an often maligned emotion: pride.

Its dark, hubristic side is well known, but Tracy shows that pride is also essential for helping us become our best, brightest selves. By making us care about how others see us and how we see ourselves, pride makes us strive for excellence.

In the right doses and the right contexts, it has been proven to boost creativity, motivate altruism, and confer power and prestige on those who display it. But while pride can inspire feats of genius, Tracy explains, it can also compel acts of apparent insanity and spectacular self-destructiveness, causing some people to seek status not through hard work but through intimidation, deception, and self-aggrandizement.

Avoiding the bad kind of pride while nurturing the good kind might just be the secret to success.

Tracy explains why our species came to feel pride in both its good and bad varieties, and how we can make this double-edged emotion serve us—rather than the other way around.

Richard Shares His 5 C's of Leadership Mar 13, 2021

How important is charisma when it comes to leadership?

When we think of leadership or ask people to define what makes a great leader, we often gravitate to the high-profile leaders with big egos and larger-than-life personalities.

In Nov 2011, Forbes published an article titled "Egomaniacs make the best leaders” In this article, they reference a study by four professors that studied 78 CEOs in the pharmaceutical/biotech industry and they concluded that “narcissism and hunger for attention lead to innovation and daring decision-making.”

There is certainly a ring of truth to this theory; after reading the Steve Jobs biography I’m convinced that Steve Jobs's genius and creativity were driven by his ego and narcissism.

Personally, I’m less concerned about ego and a larger-than-life personality being the bench mark definition of great leadership.

I’m a believer that all of us should think and act like leaders; that we all have the potential to be great in some sort of leadership capacity.

I also think that people often don’t think of themselves as leaders because they feel they don’t have the personality or “charisma” to be a leader.

I have seen many aspiring leaders spend a great deal of energy and effort on looking or acting the part of the leader. All of their leadership development centered on developing their charisma.

Instead of studying on how to develop a larger-than-life personality, one should spend their time and energy learning how to be:

Composed
Confident
Consistent
Courageous
Compassionate

Regardless of our charismatic style, all of us can become better leaders if we devoted our life to these Five-“Cs”; instead of developing a personality.

Charisma, for the most part, is more of a God-given talent. It’s great if you have it; but you will get more return on your personal growth investment learning how to be calm, confident, consistent, and courageous in every aspect of your life.

Jim Collins in his book “Good to Great” has a great chapter on this topic called “Level-5 Leadership”. In his book, he argues that all of the “Great” companies of our time had “Level-5” leaders at the helm. Leader-5 leaders:

Are ambitious, but ambitious first & foremost for the company, not themselves.
Display a compelling modesty, are self-effacing and understated.
Are fanatically driven, with an incurable need to produce results.
Attribute success to other factors than themselves; often acknowledging good luck, not personal greatness, for their success.
Look in the mirror and blame themselves when things go poorly.

Charisma can be a great enhancer and motivator to leadership, but it has to be backed up with substance and genuine character for it to be effective and long-lasting.

Charisma can also be a dangerous thing; it’s an authority that defies natural logic. Regardless, history is replete with tragic example upon tragic example of people following charismatic leaders without character and substance.

Great leadership is not defined by your charisma.

Great leaders focus on learning how to be modest & willful, humble & fearless.

Peter Kozodoy is the author of Honest to Greatness, an Inc. 5000 serial entrepreneur, TEDx speaker and business coach who works with organizations and their leaders to help them overcome self-limiting bullsh*t and use brutal honesty to achieve massive success.

At 17, he was an Olympic-hopeful figure skater who was sure he would achieve his childhood dream of attending Harvard University.

From the depths of 2008, Peter and his business partner built an Inc. 5000 marketing agency that would go on to work with startups to the Fortune 500, and local car dealers to Warren Buffett. Peter’s tough lessons learned — in business, leadership, and entrepreneurship — have appeared in Inc., Forbes, The Huffington Post and more, and his work at GEM has earned Telly, Pixie, Communicator, Aurora, Davey and W3 awards.

He has shared his story at TEDx, CEO Clubs of America, Digital Book World and many other conferences and corporations, spreading his mission to help leaders use brutal honesty to achieve massive success in business and in life.

Martha MacCallum Discusses the "Unknown Valor" of Iwo Jima Sep 28, 2020

Martha MacCallum currently serves as the anchor and executive editor of The Story with Martha MacCallum (weeknights 7PM/ET). She joined FOX News Channel (FNC) in January 2004 and is based in New York.

As the anchor of The Story with Martha MacCallum, MacCallum focuses on the headlines that are most important to Americans with insights from top newsmakers and analysts.

She previously anchored The First 100 Days, which chronicled the beginning of President Donald Trump’s administration, and prior to joining the primetime lineup, she served as co-anchor of America’s Newsroom (weekdays 9-11AM/ET) alongside Bill Hemmer from 2010 to 2017.

Throughout her tenure with the network, MacCallum has played a role in every major political event since the 2004 presidential election. Most recently, MacCallum, alongside FNC’s chief political anchor Bret Baier, provided coverage of the 2020 Democratic and Republican National Conventions.

In her new book "Unknown Valor", Martha pays tribute to the heroic men who sacrificed everything at Iwo Jima to defeat the Armed Forces of Emperor Hirohito—among them, a member of her own family, Harry Gray.

Admiral Chester Nimitz spoke of the “uncommon valor” of the men who fought on Iwo Jima, one of the bloodiest and most brutal battles of World War II. In thirty-six grueling days, nearly 7,000 Marines were killed and 22,000 were wounded.

Martha takes us from Pearl Harbor to Iwo Jima through the lives of these men of valor, among them Harry Gray, a member of her own family.

In Unknown Valor, she weaves their stories—from Boston, Massachusetts, to Gulfport, Mississippi, as told through letters and recollections—into the larger history of what American military leaders rightly saw as an eventual showdown in the Pacific with Japan. In a relentless push through the jungles of Guadalcanal, over the coral reefs of Tarawa, past the bloody ridge of Peleliu, against the banzai charges of Guam, and to the cliffs of Saipan, these men were on a path that ultimately led to the black sands of Iwo Jima, the doorstep of the Japanese Empire.

Meticulously researched, heart-wrenching, and illuminating, Unknown Valor reveals the sacrifices of ordinary Marines who saved the world from tyranny and left indelible marks on those back home who loved them.

What if It All Ended Tonight? Sep 03, 2020

What if you knew that today was going to be your last day?

Would you have been happy? Would you be proud of how you lived your life?

What if you knew ten years ago that your life was going be over on this day?

How would you have lived your life differently?

In this episode, I explore the universal truth that the universe is impersonal and will try to stop you from dreams.

It is, therefore, up to you and only you to become intentional about embracing that calling in your gut and start living a life of significance.

It's not about pursuing happiness, rather it's embracing the world and your circumstances for what they are and start living fully.

Your biggest fear should be the regret of not pursuing activities and actions that will get you closer to your purpose and universal obligation.

It's about becoming insatiably curious, fueling energies towards your passions, and living a life of significance.

A double major in both math and physics, Ed is one of the most well-rounded men in America. His Twitter and blog are seen by millions of people every month and has been featured on numerous podcasts.

His journey wasn’t always a straight path. After being kicked out of the house he was staying at, Ed had his wake up call to make something of his life. Down and out with only a string of minimum wage jobs to show for the last four years Ed resolved to become a boxer and went on a 13-0 run with 7 KOs before being featured on SHOWTIME.

This fight would prove to be a seminal moment for Ed and his development as a leader. After losing the fight in the first round Ed was attacked on social media and media outlets covering the fight.

He took an entire year off from boxing before watching his fight. During that time he did a lot of self-reflecting and decided to go back and finish his degree.

It’s from this time that Ed developed the thick skin he would need to become an internet icon.

In some cases, the right choice is crystal clear.

In other cases, the correct course of action is not so clear.

Leadership Starts At The Top...But The Middle & Below Takes It Across The Goal Line Apr 27, 2020

In many of my keynotes, I informally poll the audience on if they view themselves as leaders or not.

On average less than 1/3 of those polled actually raise their hand.

Here are some of the typical responses from those who didn't raise their hand:

"I don't have the title or position."
"I'm not the main leader."
'I'm waiting until I get to the top, then I'll lead."
"I'm in the middle (or bottom) of the company"
"What I do makes no difference to the bottom line."

This is probably the biggest misconception about leadership; this belief that leadership comes from having a position or title. That you can’t lead if you’re not at the top.

In reality, leadership isn't something you wait around for. It's all about influence. And to become influential you must intentionally add value to everyone, in every situation.

When you grasp this concept you will start to see how leadership is all about choice, and that you can begin to lead from where you're at right now. No position or title is needed.

In this episode, we deep dive into how we can shift our mindset and start adding value no-matter where we are in our lives.

Great leadership is learned, and great leaders are made, from the middle and below in organizations. It's down in the trenches where real leadership challenges are met and solved.

It's about having the consistency & courage to meet these challenges head-on, at the lower levels, and being prepared when the higher leadership calling presents itself.

We all have way more influence than we realize. Once we become aware of this potential, we then realize that even though good leadership starts at the top, it's the middle & below that will take it across the finish line.

Nice guys finish first. Nez Balelo is a Major League Baseball super-agent, representing such players as Japanese phenom Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Angels, Ryan Braun of the Milwaukee Brewers, Arizona D-Back' Adam Jones and many more. Balelo also stands out as an anomaly. Raised in San Diego Ca, first-generation Portuguese descent where his family migrated from the Madeira Islands in Portugal and was raised in the Commercial fishing industry, Balelo would become a promising MLB infielder before a devastating accident cut short his playing days.

Adversity and opportunity became the catalysts for Balelo positioning himself as one of the most humble, venerable, and successful professionals in all of sports. After a horrific accident took him permanently out of the lineup, Nez focused on his entrepreneurial skills and opened up a development baseball school outside of Los Angeles called West Coast Baseball School.

At the same time accepted a job with the Atlanta Braves in a Hybrid development, Scouting and consulting role. After a 10-year run working for the Braves and learning the Organization business along with building and purchasing numerous baseball facilities, Balelo took his drive to another level and walked away from the Braves and Sold all of his schools and branding license and started a Sports Agency. Balelo brought with him several players who he developed during these years to start the Agency who all made it to the Major Leagues. After 3 years Balelo already established himself as a name in the Sports agency world having numerous first-round picks and players already entering into the Major Leagues, was asked to join IMG Sports group in a Senior Executive position which eventually moved over to CAA Entertainment to start the Sports group in 2006.

As a major player with Creative Artists Agency (CAA), Nez Balelo helps keep CAA Sports atop the standings in MLB player signings. When it comes to the dotted line, Nez is the penultimate example of how MLB players are represented and supported. Instilled with dedication and tenacity from working alongside his father, Balelo knows how ethics, mindset, commitment, and staying active play such a vital role in the prosperity of your organization that led him to the rightful place on Forbes “Most Powerful Sports Agents in the World” list.

Leaders Must Always Fight For The Big Picture Apr 12, 2020

It's so easy to get sucked into the minutia of everyday business, to fail in our leadership obligation and become a micro-manager.

Professional aviation demands that pilots stay situationally aware at all times and fight for the big picture.

There are numerous mishaps throughout aviation history where the flight crew got hyperfocused on a certain task or abnormal situation, leading to tragedy. In this episode, I use the mishap of Eastern 401 from December 1972 to highlight the importance of maintaining the big picture, allowing you to keep everyone aligned and empowered towards your intended outcome.

In order to fight for the big picture you have to:

Define your Sandbox. Communicate clearly to create alignment on what you're trying to accomplish and what you're not going to do.
Think strategically & leaving the tactics to your team.
Listen to everyone & everything.
Keep your eye on the future and desired outcome

Jon Schram Explains How to Find & Retain Top Talent That Obsesses Over Customer Service Apr 10, 2020

Jon Schram is a husband, father, and entrepreneur. He is the founder and CEO of The Purple Guys, a Midwest-based information technology support company. With over 25 years of Business and IT experience, Jon fully understands the "business of business". Having built three successful startups, he has learned how to leverage technology that supports growth. He also understands that technology is a tool to be used strategically. Jon started The Purple Guys because he found that many small business leaders lacked the internal resources to keep their technology and people fully supported. He was finding that most businesses outsourced their IT only to be met only with frustration due to unreliable, unfriendly, and unpredictable IT Support. Jon's pet-peeve is when an "IT helpdesk" is anything but helpful. Therefore, it's the Purple Guy's mission to make that frustration go away by providing fast and friendly IT Support, for a predictable price. As Jon put's it, "We deliver IT peace-of-mind through our Purple Promise: NoStress Billing, NoWait Response, NoLimit Access. Instead of feeling frustrated, your focus will be on growing your business."

“As the daughter of a NASCAR superstar, my name has always had the power to open doors for me,” says Earnhardt Miller. “Though I have long had a personal passion for the sport and working in the industry was a natural fit, I never wanted to ride through my career in the passenger seat of my father’s legacy. I wanted to work hard and earn every position I ever held. That’s the way my dad always wanted it. These nine lessons have changed the way I lead in business and the way I live my personal life. They’re lessons I wish someone had shared with me before I learned them the hard way, which is why I now gladly pass them along.”

In her highly anticipated book, Earnhardt Miller shares the most important lessons she’s learned over the course of her life that have impacted her incredible success:

Being authentic and approachable - Letting go to move forward
Customizing your communication - Aiming for the win-win
Managing your emotions - Balancing your work with your life

It's Not Your Right to Challenge, It's Your Obligation Mar 26, 2020

The best leadership cultures are those that encourage their workforce to respectfully challenge the status quo.

It's the best way to get the best results, build sustainability, and prevent mistakes.

It takes a tremendous amount of intentionality, confidence, & courage to create this environment of freedom.

But it is an absolute requirement if you're going to create cultures of decentralized control.

Decentralized authority and decision making is the most effective way for organizations to deal with the demands and chaos of business.

As a senior leader, you must be prepared to encourage your people to respectfully challenge you.

As a middle manager or below, you have to have the courage to speak up when you disagree or have a different perspective.

You also have to be prepared to support whatever decision is made (assuming the decision is legal, ethical, & safe) and carry it out as if it was your own. In this episode, I break down this concept and the power of creating a culture where everyone realizes that it's not your right to challenge, it's your obligation.

Like It or Not, You're a Role Model Mar 18, 2020

Whether you know it; whether you like it or not: You are a Role Model!

It's about "Setting the Example"; a basic leadership fundamental. I usually lead off with this tenant in all of my leadership talks.

It’s one of those basic, common sense, leadership principles that when we hear it we say to ourselves, “Of course, I understand that”.

But successful leaders realize that you have to be intentional about setting the example.

It’s easy to get complacent and forget that we are always on a stage; that one of the prices of leadership is personal freedom and being under a constant spotlight.

In this latest Dose of Leadership podcast episode I discuss the following concepts as it relates to “Setting the Example”:

You are a role model: Whether you like it or not, or realize it or not, you must realize that leadership positions demand that you accept the responsibility as a role model. I find it amusing that certain celebrities, politicians, & athletes claim that they have a right to be something different out of the spotlight. Hogwash; one of the realities we have to deal with when we accept a leadership role is a constant scrutiny and visibility to those we are accountable for. Therefore you must be the same person “on & off stage” and hold yourself to a higher standard.
Perception is reality: And since we are constantly “on stage” we have to be “maniacal” about how we are perceived. One of the unfortunate realities of life is that many times the facts don’t simply matter. If you are perceived to be a thief, liar, untrustworthy, etc that is the “truth” in someone else’s eyes. Therefore you must be diligent in your behavior and constantly ask yourself how you are being perceived. Facts are important, facts are your friends, but never forget the power of perception and optics.
Attention to detail: Because perception is reality, paying strict attention to the smallest of details will often set you apart from the pack. People will notice how you are dressed, if you are chewing gum, if you swear, if you leave early from work, etc. Be “maniacal” about the small stuff and you will be noticed for your efforts.
Avoid “appearing” managerial: Being a leader is about position or title; it’s about action. I’ve seen many a leader think that their position relies on delegating and relying on their positional authority to get things done. In reality, there will be times where you actively need to show your people how you want things done. I’m all for setting the intent and leaving the “how” up to your folks; I hate micro-management. But, if you don’t like how something is being done, roll up your sleeves and get down in the trenches and show them how you expect it to be done. If you don’t like how the toilets are getting cleaned, there should be nothing stopping you to show them exactly how you want it to be done. Your position doesn’t put you above anything you are asking your folks to do.

At the end of the day, Setting the Example is simply doing the right thing, even when no-one is looking.

How to Lead in a Crisis Mar 10, 2020

It’s inevitable that at some point in your life you will face a situation that will require you to remain calm under pressure.

Your child is choking, a customer is irate and irrational, a team member is not pulling his weight, you come upon a car accident, you fly your aircraft through a flock of birds on take-off and lose all of your engines…

How you respond to stressful situations will make or break you as a leader.

As leaders, you have no choice but to remain calm, regardless of the situation. Therefore it’s required leaders learn how to compartmentalize their emotions and fear.

A compartmentalization technique I learned in aviation is what’s called “Hack the Clock”.

In this podcast, I discuss compartmentalization techniques that I learned in flight school that can help you remain calm in stressful situations.

Don't Be Afraid To Make Things Uncomfortable Mar 04, 2020

I wouldn't describe my career as a professional aviator and Marine Corps Officer as a "comfortable" one.

In fact, it was quite the opposite; the experience was at times arduous, challenging, & both physically & mentally challenging.

Yet I look back at my experience with tremendous fondness and pride. I believe the reason why is because there must be some sort of struggle to conquer or overcome.

Struggle produces significance.

Let's face it, business is a fight for survival...so why do we then insist on spending a tremendous amount of resources on to completely de-stress our organizations?

Why do we feel like we need to make our employees feel like we are "one big family"?

This episode is about busting through these fallacies and showing you that effective leaders occasionally make things "uncomfortable" so as to increase their professional capacity.

Building a Culture of Rapid Leadership Feb 27, 2020

Rapid Leadership is all about distributing leadership responsibility throughout your entire organization. It's all about empowerment & extending trust.

A fully realized culture of “Decentralized Decision Making” is all about pushing the decision-making authority to the absolute lowest level.

Creating an environment where people ask for “forgiveness” instead of “permission”

We think we need to focus on highly detailed plans, telling our folks “how” to do their job. Instead, we should be focusing on communicating “what” outcomes we need...leaving the “how” up to them

This introduces accountability & initiative into the organization.

As the leader focus exclusively on the outcomes, “big picture”, and the why of your objective.

Building a Championship Culture With Dayton Moore Feb 11, 2020

Dayton Moore, the General Manager for the Kansas City Royals, joins me on Dose of Leadership.

He knows a thing or two about how to build winning cultures, leadership and how to be heroic both professionally & personally.

Dayton Moore marks his 14th full season with the Kansas City Royals in 2020.

A native of Wichita, Kansas, he brought an impressive resume to the Royals in 2006, having previously worked for the Atlanta Braves’ organization during their run of 14-straight division titles.

After joining the Royals in 2006, Moore set out to bring a World Championship back to Kansas City, a dream that was brought to fruition in 2015 when the Royals bested the New York Mets in five games to win the franchise’s first World Series championship in 30 years. A leader in the Kansas City community, Moore is also a regular speaker at numerous community events each year. In 2013, Moore started the “C” You In the Major Leagues Foundation, which provides hope and support to children and families by using youth baseball to develop future character-driven leaders.

The Power of Praise & Recognition Feb 07, 2020

A critical piece to the accountability equation is praise and recognition of your high performers.

Recognition & praise moves the culture & engagement needle more than anything else.

A HBR study in 2014 highlighted the top three drivers of engagement:

Consistent communication from senior leadership.
An understanding of how stakeholder's job feeds the strategy.
Sincere praise & recognition of high performers

The bottom line is that effective praise ultimately builds trust. People will ultimately feel valued and respected. When we become intentional & consistent about pointing out and recognizing when things are going well, then our people are going to start to feel like we have their best interest in mind.

Intentional Leadership & Culture Building Leads to Lasting Impact with Matt Fouts: Equity Bank Series Jan 02, 2020

The Fouts family has built one of the largest, family-owned zoos in the country from nothing. They didn’t receive any government funds or grants to build it. They did it with hard work, dedication, and passion to be stewards for animals in their care and in the wild. They did it with the support of visitors like you.

By 2004, over 4,000 people were visiting the park despite having very few amenities and no parking lot. At that time, Jim and Sherri, along with their son, Matt, decided to expand. However, they knew for it to be successful, it would have to be a world-class facility. They took a portion of the 51 acres and constructed a zoo from the ground up. Some of you may have seen the movie We Bought A Zoo with Matt Damon, well they BUILT a zoo from the ground up!

On August 2 of 2008 Tanganyika Wildlife Park officially opened with 15 exhibits and three interactive areas. Over the past eight years, we have grown into the third-largest animal collection in Kansas, and one of the largest attractions in the state. We have over 40 exhibits featuring 10 interactive stations, over 400 animals and 37 successful breeding programs.

Our family-owned facility right here in Goddard, KS continues to be a world leader in breeding rare and endangered species.

Solo Episode: Putting the Pin Back in the Grenade Mar 18, 2019

Download Episode Here Business is chaotic. Even in organizations that fully embrace decentralized decision making, the figurative "grenade" is thrown by good intentioned leaders.

How we respond to these perceived "grenades" being thrown is worthy of intentional focus.

What do you do when these figurative grenades are thrown?

Do you run for your life? Do you deflect and give it to somebody else because you don't want to deal with it exploding in your face? Or are you a hero that jumps on the grenade and takes one for the team?

Neither of these actions is ideal. Yes, leadership starts at the top...but it's the middle and below that brings it across the finish line.

In this episode, I detail the tactics to effectively deal with leadership disruptions and figurative "grenades" within your organization.

When a perceived grenade is thrown, true leaders sit there in a composed manner, watch it spin around, and with courage and calmness and composure to pick it up and put the pin in. Then they asked the question to the thrower and say, "I see this as important. What do you want me to do with this?".

This stops the perceived chaos, extracts the intent, & helps everyone become a better leader.
