How can leaders do all the right things and be very smart and still not get results in their leadership that they want? It makes no sense! Well, that’s because you can be really smart and actually “do” the right things and still not get the results you want. Experience and research have told us for many years that emotional intelligence is the underlying ingredient that changes everything. It is the “spice” that makes leadership that much more effective! 

In this episode, we will chat with Lisa Austin about what emotional intelligence is and why it matters. 

Our leadership needs to shift as society shifts. If it doesn't, we may do unintentional damage. So, why was it not that way "back then?" In other words, why didn't all this fluffy stuff matter years ago? 

Heading into the new year, we need to do more than just survive. In fact, we always need to do more than just survive. I have been wondering if maybe, just maybe, we do and say things as leaders to perpetuate a survival mindset on our teams. We will follow up our October session [The Survival Mindset] with some new thoughts about that very thing. Remember, small movements matter! 

This year has been challenging on many levels. Now what do we do with it? This episode will be a fun conversation about my view of this year and how we lead going into 2021. 

We live in a scoreboard-driven society. If the scoreboard says we have more, then we win. If it says we have less, we lose. If profit says we have a lot of money, then we win. Turns out, that may not be accurate. What is the “win?” In our organizations, teams, lives marriages, etc., we all have something we want to ultimately accomplish. What does an accomplishment or success really looks like to you?

 

The survival mode makes for great TV shows and movies, but is horrible in real life! Do you just want to survive in your leadership or do you want more than that? Are you accidentally creating a survival mindset in your culture and your organization? We want more for our lives, leadership, and culture than simply surviving. When the survival mindset sets in, everything goes flat.

 

Little things can separate the effective from the ineffective. In leadership, these things can make a huge different!

 

In this episode, we will explore the principles of Budge, what keeps most leaders from moving on in their leadership. Then, how they continue to improve their influence to make a difference in the lives they are responsible for.
