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.

Inclusive leadership can be a sensitive subject.

On one hand we can appreciate the concept intellectually, but emotionally, when someone says we’re not being inclusive it feels like a personal attack because we’re often unaware of how our behavior impacts what others see and hear AND more importantly, how our own culture, experiences, and biases shape what we do and say.

How do we get out of this Catch-22 and bridge these cultural gaps that rob us of credibility and influence? Today’s guest has some proven tips and strategies for you.

* What inclusive leadership really means

* The seven traits of inclusive leadership

* The inclusive leadership trait that can’t be taught and you need to hire for

* The trait that is the most challenging for leaders to master

* And much more.

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!

His experience involves major project development, legislative and regulatory advocacy on behalf of public and private clients, and litigation and appellate cases including US Supreme Court advocacy. Clint has handled more than 650 regulatory and litigation proceedings and argued before trial and state appellate courts; numerous US District Courts; and the US Courts of Appeals for the First, Second, Fourth, Fifth, Eighth, Tenth, Eleventh and District of Columbia Circuits; and the Supreme Court of the United States, in some instances multiple times. He also has handled too many complex energy transactions, negotiations and projects to count.

Clint has been described by clients as “brilliant, dedicated, professional, experienced. He has an amazing ability to work with each Board Member and with each Staff Member on their own level. He has the ability to make each one feel respected and valuable, and to guide even the most contentious topics to amicable resolve. He can also stand against the fiercest opponent successfully; his track record for this company proves that fact.
