Business Confidential Now with Hanna Hasl-Kelchner – Détails, épisodes et analyse

The self-aware leadership sounds a bit like an oxymoron.

You know what your intentions are when you do what you do and say what you say. So of course you're self-aware of yourself.

BUT, are you really aware of all that you need to stay on top of to flawlessly execute your business strategy?

Ooh, maybe not, and you wouldn't be alone. As today's guest, Robert Courser, author of Line of Sight: The Five Keys for Strategic Execution in an Age of Uncertainty, explains.

* The missing piece of self-aware leadership

* How employee surveys contribute to self-aware leadership

* How self-aware leadership lets you work "on" your business, not just "in" your business

* Why self-aware leadership is essential for strategy alignment and execution

* And much more

Robert Courser is a CEO advisor who has been helping small and medium-sized enterprises scale up for the past twenty years.

In his book, “Line of Sight: The Five Keys for Strategic Execution In An Age of Uncertainty,” Robert draws on stories and anecdotes from his clients to share the simple tools and insights that help free up the growth potential of leaders and their companies.

Classically trained as a culinary chef, Robert knows about delivering excellence in a high-pressure environment.

In his inimitable, no-nonsense voice, Robert emphasizes the importance of internal alignment, of having resources in the right place at the right time, and of self-aware leadership to execute flawlessly.

Appealing a lawsuit to the US Supreme Court seems to be very fashionable in certain circles. After all, no one likes to lose. Absolutely. No. One.

And that makes taking the case to the highest court in the land, for one more bite at the apple sound very appealing (no pun intended). But what factors should a business consider before taking the plunge?

This is a SPECIAL BONUS episode.

It's an interview with Clint Vince from the No Nonsense Legal Literacy Vault.

Some of you may remember that long before I started this podcast I did a series of teleseminars under the Ask the No Nonsense Lawyer banner where I invited prominent lawyers to share their insights about the US legal system that’s relevant to the business community.

Even though this interview originally aired in 2010, the mechanics, the planning, and factors to consider when appealing a lawsuit to the US Supreme Court continue to be relevant both now and into the future. 

What's also striking and why I released it as a "trick or treat" Halloween bonus is how scary it is to realize how easily the composition of the court and the philosophical differences between the justices can swing decision and upend long standing legal precedent.

* What factors to consider when appealing a lawsuit to the US Supreme Court

* How changes in the court’s composition causes philosophical realignment that can impact your case

* The role seniority plays in the functioning of the court

* Why the Solicitor General of the United States can be helpful when appealing a lawsuit to the US Supreme Court

* And MUCH more!
