126 - Leadership Return on Investment With Alex Vorobieff Jun 02, 2019

Show notes

"In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in practice, there is." - Yogi Berra

I like talking about leadership legacy. Let's face it, policies and plans fade away but a legacy is what stays. What does that take? It takes an investment of yourself, as leader, in others. Something that I refer to as the leadership tithe...that you're sharing that 10% of yourself that really matters.

On this episode I'm talking with Alex Vorobieff. Alex, quite frankly, blew me away with some of his leadership insights and I know he'll do the same for you...plus, he's a great conversationalist. It was just a lot of fun and I learned some new stuff.

CHEERS!

123 - Leading Great Teams With Jeffrey Davidson May 19, 2019

Show notes

"Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much." --Helen Keller

As the saying goes...."teamwork makes the dreamwork!" That's what we're talking about this week on the podcast: Leading Great Teams!

Jeffrey Davidson and I have a great conversation on what it takes to get your team to the next level, what it means to lead, and how what you do is so much more important than what you say. We also talk about the power of failing. I know you're going to dig it as much as I did.

CHEERS!

More on Jeffrey...

By the age of 35, Jeffrey had been both director at a start-up and president of a multi-million dollar sales organization. Despite his reading, the teaching, and different roles he wasn’t a good leader. None of his teams came close to reaching their potential. In frustration he gave up on management and became a consultant. Real leadership began when a client asked Jeffrey to build a team of analysts. He started by hiring good people. And keeping an unrelenting focus on learning and improvement. Within 2 years the team was the envy of the organization. Eventually, Jeffrey realized he hadn’t taught people how to be a good team. The team had taught Jeffrey how to lead. Jeffrey took his hard-won knowledge and went back into consulting, rescuing high-impact projects. In every instance there were at least two problems — and one of them was always teamwork. Have you noticed the world is more connected, complex, chaotic, and faster than ever before? It feels like these forces are trying to rip your business apart. Jeffrey speaks to organizations about the need for responsive leaders and adaptive teams. More, he lays out the steps it takes for leaders to get teams from Meh to High-Performance!

122 - Fire Them Now! With Phillips Stutts May 10, 2019

Show notes

“However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results.” - Winston Churchill

I've spent a lot of time on marketing campaigns that have netted absolutely nothing. I don't have a clear strategy going in and, in the end, don't have a clear outcome when it's done. The same has applied when attempting a new venture as a leader. Have you had the same?

On this episode I get to talk to marketing genius, Phillip Stutts. Okay, he doesn't call himself a genius but I do. Phillip and I talk about his book, Fire Them Now! It's a great conversation about what you need to be thinking about with strategy, connecting with your customers, and being in the game. I enjoyed every moment of our conversation and I know you will too!

121 - Deep Listening With Oscar Trimboli May 05, 2019

Show notes

"Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you'd have preferred to talk." --Doug Larson

I'll admit it. I'm a horrible listener. Let me clarify that....I'm horrible listener and, because I know that, I am constantly working on improving my listening skills. Most of the time I've got so much going on in my head that I am only partly in the conversation.

That's why I loved talking with this week's guest, Oscar Trimboli. He's the author of the book, Deep Listening, and we talk about how to be fully present in the conversations you're having so you can really hear what's being said. His book (and Oscar) have a really mellow vibe to them and I know you'll want to listen to it more than once (and buy the book).

Speaking of which...you can get the book HERE!

Cheers!
