Why Remarkable Leadership Matters

I was fortunate to be a guest on Nan Russell’s Work Matters radio show recently. That show is now available online to listen or download as a podcast.

My interview begins about half way through the show, and I believe, is one of the best I have given to date on leadership, learning what it means to be a Remarkable Leader.

I hope you will listen, and share it with others.

Initiative and Remarkable Leadership

Initiative was the focus of the final podcast this month as I was the guest of Jim Canterucci on the Personal Brilliance Podcast.  In this this week’s podcast we discussed:

• Now Steps
• Being an initiator doesn’t mean we have to do the work
• A bias for action
• Customer service and infusing initiative
• Empowerment is required for action orientation
• Creating a clear line of sight to the organizational goal
• Culture of initiative for everyone is an expectation

I know I’m biased, but I believe this is a great interview and it discusses an extremely important topic.  I hope you will choose to listen in here.

Remarkable Leadership – Personal Brillance

My friend Jim Canterucci, author of Personal Brilliance asked me to be his guest on his podcast series – Personal Brilliance Up Close and Practical.  In fact, I’ll be his guest each week this month.  In this week’s episode we talked about Awareness – one of Jim’s keys to Personal Brilliance.  We discussed the following ideas:

• The connection between leadership and helping others reach their potential
• The two most common mistakes relating to potential
• How leaders can create a frame for the organization to deal with strengths and weaknesses
• The most difficult component of awareness – self awareness
• The balance of evaluating ourselves and getting feedback for improvement
• The source of understanding
• How to increase our understanding of complexity
• Taking learning outside the classroom

I believe this is one of the best interviews I’ve ever participated in – I hope you will listen to each of the next four weeks to each episode.
