Resilience is very different than determination. In this episode I contrast difference. How flexible are you? Do you bend or do you break when things get difficult or when dramatic change occurs? One of the traits of an effective leader that every new leader has to master is becoming a resilient person. Resilience is being spongy, flexible and able to adapt. Don't make the mistake of having your methodology become your theology.

Determination is a huge part of being a successful leader. Another word for this would per persistence or courageous leadership. I to start this podcast with a story of my own determination through a very tough time. We all face these times. If I asked you to name one of your top biggest times of discouragement, what would it be?I can think of a big one - when I was betrayed by a dear friend. My board chair turned on me.One reason this was such a difficult situation is I couldn't fix it. I had to endure it for a couple of years. I love to resolve conflict and fix things that are broken. But sometimes we have to live in the midst of a big discouragement. It reminds me of my son who's been in the job for about 18 months that is true.

Did you know that accessibility is absolutely essential for todayâsâ leaders? No corner offices and executive floors!Welcome back to our series on Learn to Lead: Ten Essential Skills Every New Leader Must Master. We have covered L: Listen and Learn, and E: Emotional Intelligence. Today I want to talk about A: Accessibility, and along with it Vulnerability.Beware of the:Ivory tower syndromeCorner office syndromeI have devised a simple test to determine whether you are task or people oriented. When you are working at your desk, and someone comes up to talk to you just for conversation, do you stop work, smile, and chat until the conversation comes to its natural conclusion? Or do you grimace inside and do anything you can to get the conversation done as quickly as possible. If your answer is the latter than you are one of us: the âType Aâ personality who tends to measure success by getting our lists checked off.

Today we are going to cover the âEâ in leadership. It stands for EQ, or Emotional Intelligence. It is also known by EI or EQ. I am going to use EQ.I had one of my listeners recently say this to me about my podcast. âItâs not really just about leadership, itâs about being a healthy person.â I loved that feedback. Really thatâs what emotional intelligence is all about, itâs about being a healthy person as a healthy leader. Thank you Jordan in Lyle, IL.Emotional Intelligence counts for twice as much as IQ and technical skills combined. According to research, performance success is one-third IQ and two-thirds EQ.

I am starting my new series on the top ten skills every leader must master in order to be effective.This new series is based on input from my listeners and my own journey of leadership. I am not going to tell you ahead of time what all the letters stand for..that is up to you to gather as you listen!Today we are going to cover the âLâ in leadership. It actually stands for two wordsâŠ..L â Listen and Learn! The two most important words in a leaderâs vocabulary.Keep Listening!Listening. âListenâ is the most important word in a leaderâs language. Just because we are the leaders does not mean we are the only ones with a voice. The L in leader stands for listening.I hear from so many followers and stuck employees, âMy boss just wonât listen to our input.âHow do you feel if you are not listened to? Unimportant Marginalized Waste of time trying I am invisible My opinions are not respected I am not respected I have nothing to contributeLeaders often love to talk. They enjoy listening to their own great pearls of wisdom and insight. Sometimes they even begin to believe their own press reports. And as they gain more authority, they have less reason to listen to subordinates. Have you ever noticed that there is much more horizontal communication in an organization than vertical? Coworkers are always talking about everything, but the communication betweenthose coworkers and their superiors is much less frequent and much more formal.Leaders must figure out ways to tap into that underground flow of information. They must keep current on the undercurrents.

This week I have a great interview for you with Dr. Mick Ukleja! Dr. Ukleja is a Consultant, Teacher, and Writer who studies and teaches leadership and works extensively with Millennials as they are the future of the workforce.Top Leadership Lessons that Dr. Mick Has LearnedâLeadership is synonymous with becoming yourself. It is precisely that simple, and that difficult.â Warren Bennis. This means if you canât lead yourself, you canât lead others.Passion is a responsibility that we need to work on everyday. It includes mastering our moods. Life is about motion or movement. We have to get in the habit of acting before feeling, which prevents procrastination. Affirmation is a key to mastering moods and controlling our self talk. Our fears and doubts can be our allies, as it is Godâs way of pointing out where we do not trust him.Fighting the ImposterSyndrome: this is a form of self talk that says: âif people really found out the truth about you they would not think you are as smart or successful as you think you are.âConcentration is something you need to be brutal about. âSimplify to amplify.â Do whatever you can to eliminate clutter in your world to minimize distraction: make your bed, clear your desk, get rid of stuff you donât need.The Ability to Self-Differentiate: knowing where you end and others begin. This is the concept of togetherness and separateness. Too much separation causes us to miss out on be connected to others and be âin the loop.â If we are too close to others we get enmeshed in other people and leads to mob psychology and not thinking on their own.

How do you survive the rough and tumble of change warfare? Is it by developing a thick skin? DO YOU REALLY NEED A THICK SKIN?No. In fact, developing a coarse emotional hide is the worst thing you could possibly do. Making yourself impervious to pain means shutting yourself off from most of the nuances and intricacies of life â and business. Iâve seen leaders become thick-hided and insulated before, and it only led to their demise. Before long, they became so well-insulated that they could not hear the whispers of common sense, interpersonal resentments, or even approaching trouble. For a leader whose greatest responsibility is to sense how the proverbial wind is blowing, that is the kiss of death.Rather than a thick hide, the thing to develop is a resilient one. One that can absorb the blow, not deflect it. Instead of trying to develop ways of never feeling the attack, work on ways of processing it more painlessly and efficiently.

Welcome to episode 60! I am so excited to have been podcasting for 2 years, and have 60 episodes out there for you. I hope you are enjoying these shows and learning and growing in your leadership.âNothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with great talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence, determination alone are omnipotent.â (Bennis and Nanus, LeadersâThe Strategies for Taking Charge, Page 45)This week I want to discuss courageous leadership. I want to start with a letter from a friend of mine who is head of a seminary, that is embarking on major change in his life and how he is doing so with courageous leadership.

This is the second in our series on my latest book Launch Your Encore, which I co-wrote with Dr. Rick Hicks. While the first episode covered some of the basic ground work on this topic, in this episode Rick and I are going to unpack the idea of having a vibrant life after your traditional career ends in greater detail.Life Stage DevelopmentDr. Rick Hicks studied life stage development under Peter Drucker, which mirrors society. Whereas at the beginning of the last century Dr. G. Stanley Hall recognized the stage of adolescence between childhood and adulthood, today we are seeing a stage emerge that is after adulthood but really before old age when people are retiring from their traditional jobs to enter a new stage of mentoring, which we are calling âElderlesence.â
