Mediocrity is continuing to be more and more accepted while people still expect results from those above them. The acceptance of the “dad bod”, “bad bosses”, and “doing the grind” are just a few examples of the new average. But as leaders we need to be better than the average, for that our teams, organizations, and even selves depend on our peak performance. That’s why being an average leader simply sucks. When Michael Bernoff got called out for not living up to his potential, it bothered him. But rather than shrinking from the challenge, he chose to step up and solve a problem he saw in the personal development industry. This quest led him to develop Human Interaction Technology, which moves society forward through the power of communication. From there, Michael founded the Human Communications Institute, which is dedicated to creating rapid and lasting change in people’s lives. He works with entrepreneurs, athletes, executives, and Fortune 500 companies, offering courses, live events, and leadership training for those who want to achieve a life beyond limits. Topics During this interview, Michael and I discuss the following topics: The Inspiration behind the bookHow leaders can identify if they are averageHow to utilize role models to your advantageHow to move from you are to where you wantHow to overcome failures en route to their goals For the complete show notes, be sure to check out our website: https://leaddontboss.com/129

Employee safety is being redefined. We write volumes of standard operating procedures about it. We measure it, regulate it, and insure against its risks. In the U.S. alone, organizations funnel billions into creating workplaces and environments in which employees are safe to bring their best talents. But physical safety, and added creature-comfort perks like stocked snack bars, open-air offices, and foosball tables, only do so much. They don’t adequately address an employee’s state of mind. They all but ignore employees’ psychological safety. Timothy R. Clark is the founder and CEO of LeaderFactor, a leadership consulting and training organization that works with executive teams around the world. An Oxford-trained social scientist and sought-after international authority on organizational change, Dr. Clark is the author of five books on leadership, including his newest release, The 4 Stages of Psychological Safety: Defining the Path to Inclusion and Innovation. Topics During this interview, Tim and I discuss the following topics: The Inspiration behind the bookThe four stages of psychological safety—Inclusion Safety, Learner Safety, Contributor Safety, and Challenger Safety—and what they mean for your organizationWhy your employees need to feel accepted before they’ll feel safe to contribute and be heardHow any worker can learn, regardless of aptitude, given the right environmentFour words every leader needs to live by: “No cover, no candor”How to swap the pattern of “helicopter leadership” for a culture of innovation For the complete show notes be sure to check out our website: https://leaddontboss.com/128

One of the most important questions a leader can ask themselves is: “How do I get my teams, my organization to move faster?” That is the challenge that all leaders face. This challenge grows more intense every day. Lead with Speed is the answer. This problem of speed is often disguised by other symptoms, such as “my projects cannot make an accurate prediction of when they will be done” or the stated need of “my teams need to take more risks.” The real need is not reckless risk-taking that will lead to even more problems and nishing even later. The real need is for speed. Alan Willett is the master of the “friction points” of organizations highly dependent on technology. This ranges from organizations that create world-class software products to the organization that use those products to create their own competitive advantage. Alan is the expert who transforms organizational friction points to produce positive results for the business and the people that create and use the technology. Topics During this interview, Alan and I discuss the following topics: The Inspiration behind the bookHow leaders can own the acceleratorHow leaders can avoid data analysis paralysisHow Leaders can get into the mindset for leading with speed Guest Resources If you are interested in learning more about Alan and his resources be sure to check out the following links: Connect with Alan on LinkedInBuy Lead with Speed: Fire Up Your Team, Power Your Engines of Development, and Make Your Organization on AmazonCheck out Alan’s Website For the complete show notes, be sure to check out our website: https://leaddontboss.com/127

Yet, most people are conditioned to avoid risk. Leading innovation requires a willingness to pursue a goal without knowing exactly how you’ll achieve it. To overcome the fear of failure and move forward with pursuing the unknown, leaders must learn to embrace the concept of being “directionally correct.” Kreek is a powerful guide who teaches us how to realize our full potential at any stage of our career and lives.

Organizations are paying the price in many ways — absenteeism, reduced production and quality levels, complaints, poor morale surveys, and recruiting costs. Leaders need to learn how to get their workforce engaged, get them to offer discretionary effort, and in the process bring extra value to the organization. If they don’t, their company isn’t reaping the benefits of their innate talents and strengths. Laura Prisc is a leadership expert and the author of Conscious Leadership: Are Your Leaders Wide Awake? For over 20 years she has worked extensively with executives and managers in a diverse range of industries. Prisc’s clients have included large organizations such as Toyota, Dow Chemical, Constellium, SimEx, PrimeLending, Tree Top, and Northwestern Mutual. She is a John Maxwell-certified coach, teacher, and speaker; a Gallup-certified Strengths Coach; a certified People Acuity coach, as well as a certified human behavioral specialist. Prisc has taught the concept of transformational leadership to citizens, law enforcement, and business leaders in Paraguay and Guatemala. Topics During this interview, Laura and I discuss the following topics: The inspiration behind her bookWhat it means to be a wide-awake leaderHer Four Pillars of Conscious LeadershipWhy Self-Awareness is crucial as leaderThe importance of Vision as a leaderHow to get everyone on board with visionHow to get subordinate leaders to think, plan, and act with strategic purpose For the complete show notes, be sure to check out our website: https://leaddontboss.com/121

What many organization leaders fail to understand is that you can’t simply transplant a competitor’s talent strategy and achieve the same results—just as you can’t take plants suited to a warm climate and expect them to thrive in chillier locales. The conditions are too different. But a company that takes the time to examine its own environment, select talent accordingly, and nurture its people will stand tall, regardless of economic conditions. Roberta Chinsky Matuson is the CEO of Matuson Consulting, a top management-consulting firm established 20 years ago that has helped organizations of all kinds- General Motors, Microsoft, Best Buy, LinkedIn, and many others-achieve dramatic growth and market leadership through maximizing talent. She was named a 2018 LinkedIn Top Voice in Management and Workplace and has an excellent relationship with MentorBox as well as with getAbstract, which has a huge reach in the corporate-learning market. She is quoted regularly in the business and general consumer press (Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Working Woman, etc.) as well as online (MSNBC, Monster, NPR, etc.) and broadcast media (Fox Business News, CNN, CBS’s Early Show, etc.). Topics During this conversation, Roberta and I discuss the following topics: The inspiration for her bookThe leadership lessons which she learned as a young HR executiveHow leaders can find the right people for their organizationWhy hiring is not a HR functionWhy it is important for organizations to develop their people internally For the complete show notes, be sure to check out our website: https://leaddontboss.com/115
