Welcome to Monday Mentoring, on the Today's Leader Podcast. Driving a Leadership Revolution to build Tomorrow Best Leaders Today.
Many conflicts that occur in the workplace, can be traced back to a simple synopsis. Usually driven from a misunderstanding, a belief, which then grows a life of its own as a perception. A perception that can grow legs and cause an irreconcilable difference that kills teams and can kill a business.
Ongoing and underlying conflict is a leading cause of job dissatisfaction.
And many leaders get caught in this. They lead in an environment so heavy, you can cut it with a knife. They feel on edge as does their team.

#349 - Enhance Your Strengths Monday Mentoring Oct 31, 2021

Show notes

Welcome to Monday Mentoring on The Today's Leader Podcast. Building Tomorrow's Best Leaders Today. Enhance Your Strengths
I was speaking with a client recently, going through a DISC debrief and we started talking through their strengths. They were actually quite puzzled that the report shared their strengths as well as the recommendation to continue to grow them.
"That's the first time I have even been told to work on my strengths," they told me.
The first time they had been advised to work on their strengths, their mentors and coaches had always previously encouraged them to build their weaknesses.
Why the difference? Let's find out

#347 - Enhancing Our Communities - Monday Mentoring Oct 24, 2021

Show notes

Welcome to Monday Mentoring on The Today's Leader Podcast. Episode 346 featured an inspiring discussion with Adam Williams and his company Supplky Aus, whose major purpose is to have a profound impact on their community. Adam is a role model for indigenous entrepreneurs and has a strong purpose alignment. Adam's business has a strong connection with his community and it creates many questions on what is a business leader's role to enhance their community. Of course, that question should be easily answered, leaders of business should aim for a positive impact on their communities.
However, the reality can be quite the opposite.
In many communities, business and ongoing development is often seen as a negative impact, and many businesses do not engage in the community. And this is not great.

#345 - Being the Technology Enabler - Monday Mentoring Oct 17, 2021

Show notes

Welcome to Monday Mentoring on The Today's Leader Podcast.
Research around shifts in leadership characteristics and success factors, is fascinating. we are definitely seeing shifts on the area of leadership. Some may be more evident than others.
But the biggest shift in many aspects of leadership has been in the acceleration of technology in our lives and businesses. I will share a link in the show notes to a piece of research done last year, in which one of the key aspects of leadership traits is one of the "technology enabler"
"As technology has become an important part of the organization and its workers, leaders should be competent to enable the workers in their roles using technology"
And currently in the world of business leaders today, we still have leaders that struggle with Zoom, and muting and unmuting themselves on zoom, the inference is clear. Many leaders have not been the technology enabler they need to be for their teams.
