Do you work with any difficult people? Research indicates when we deal with difficult people, our creativity, productivity, and engagement suffer. Conflict and stress compromise our ability to think clearly and make sound decisions. Amy Gallo joins Kevin to share practical advice about how to deal with challenging relationships.

Do you give yourself permission to lead? Jacqueline Baker believes when we open that door, good things will happen. She thinks that there are four levels of leadership, and it starts with the leadership of self. We need to recognize our strengths as well as our challenges AND continue to get better.

How often do you feel stifled by all the red tape? Do you ever think you could get more done if your organization wasn't so bureaucratic? Nick Sinai tells Kevin that bureaucracy is just organizations with rules and procedures. It does not have a positive or negative connotation. However, when we take the time to understand them, we can continue to improve them. Further, you don't need to be an executive to get things done. When people take change on themselves, they build the momentum for change. Nick shares some bureaucratic hacks to get unstuck. Key Points Nick Sinai defines bureaucracy. He gives us some hacks, like watercooler rules, one pager, the power of the pilot, and understanding the real org chart. Meet Nick Name: Nick Sinai His Story: Nick Sinai is the co-author of Hack Your Bureaucracy: Get Things Done No Matter What Your Role on Any Team with Marina Nitze.

When we think about leadership development, we probably think about workshops, podcasts, white papers, and business books. We understand the importance of learning to benefit ourselves and our organizations. Unfortunately, after putting in a full day (or more) of work, we find we don't have the energy to read novels. Melanie Bell joins Kevin to talk about how reading fiction can also help with our leadership development. Studies have indicated that different parts of our brains are activated when we read fiction vs. nonfiction. Further, business books break down the problem to the principle. In fiction, the characters are complicated so, we don't just jump to conclusions. The stakes are lower, so we can take a breath and think about the situation. Key Points Melanie discusses why fiction can be powerful for leaders. She shares how to translate fiction to leadership. She provides advice on choosing a fictional book to read for leadership lessons. Meet Melanie Name: Melanie Bell Her Story: Melanie founded Leaders Who Fiction while operating her marketing strategy and technology consulting firm.

Work is changing; it always has. However, March of 2020 brought accelerated change. The question we need to ask is what is work changing to, and how can we adapt? Brian Elliott joins Kevin to share findings of the change in work from research with his colleagues at the Future Forum and global case studies from leading companies such as Levi Strauss & Co., Genentech, Royal Bank of Canada, and IBM. For example, 74% of executives want to come back to the office three days a week or more. Only 23% of employees want the same thing. In addition, 63% of executives are planning for the future without input from their team. As leaders, we need to gain another perspective and ask if we can be successful going back to what we did before. Key Points Brian Elliott discusses the struggle of work. He explains what digital-first means. He shares two steps necessary to building the new principles needed to enable flexible, high-performing teams including a Culture of Connection and Experimentation.

Are you frustrated because your hard work isn't noticed? Are you looking to move up and don't know how? Michael Wenderoth joins Kevin to discuss the mindsets we need to change to not only promote ourselves but also our teams. For example, politics aren't bad; they are just a mechanism by which decisions are made. Power is not a bad word. We need to understand power and learn how to harness its energy. When we reject the idea of power, we are immediately at a disadvantage. We need to leverage power to accelerate our impact. Key Points Michael Wenderoth discusses the mindset shifts we need to think about including political, authenticity, and power. He shares the sources of power, political skills, networking, control of resources, executive presence and communication, and visibility and brand. Meet Michael Name: Michael Wenderoth His Story: Michael Wenderoth is the author of Get Promoted: What You're Really Missing at Work That's Holding You Back and an Executive Coach that has helped thousands of aspiring leaders ethically leverage power and politics to breakthrough – and ascend.

New customers are great, and to keep them we need to nurture the relationship and build trust. Jason Young tells Kevin that most decisions are based on emotion. So, to continue the relationship, it's important to understand how the guest feels. This is true for both external customers and our teams. It's easy to give a job title or description. It is more difficult to build the culture you want, so you need to be intentional and work together. Key Points Jason Young describes a guest and the connection to hospitality. He discusses the importance of moving beyond demographics and looking at psychographics. He shares a few practices that create lifelong customers, including knowing the guest, focusing on feeling as much as function, and focusing on the culture, not the job.

Micromanagement. Leaders tell me all the time that they're not doing it, but if I talk to their teams, I often hear something different. And here's the thing, the other person decides if you're micromanaging. It's wonderful to think if you're not. But the reality is, if the other person, the person you're leading or managing thinks you are, then you are. Because micromanagement is relative, right? What feels like micromanagement when we're brand new in a job is quite different than what it might feel like when we've been doing a job for a long time. Because what we even need as the employee is quite different. You could be working with two different people, leading them in exactly the same way. One of them thinks you're doing great. The other thinks you're micromanaging because micromanagement is relative. Micromanagement is also personal. We have different experiences in our past, different sort of buttons that can get pushed by our boss. And so we have to be clear about what does it look like to the other person. If we want to avoid this problem right now, this doesn't mean that we might not need to provide guidance. Does it mean we don't need to provide coaching? Does it mean that sometimes people are messing up and we need to give them more input? It doesn't mean any of that stuff because all of that might even be welcome. But micromanagement is something else. So how do we overcome it? Well, there's lots of things we can do to overcome micromanagement. Talk with each team member. Set clearer expectations for the work and your interactions with others. The main thing I want you to remember from this short video is this, that even if you don't think you're micromanaging, you might be because the other person decides. Tweet it out: You may think you aren't micromanaging, but others decide whether you are or not. @KevinEikenberry In this episode: Learn more about our Remarkable Master Class, Overcoming Micromanagement.

Communication. So important in our lives, both professionally and personally. So complex, not only with all the platforms on which communication is possible but even more so as we are doing more "remote" communication.
