The Leadership Growth Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

What if the same drive that built your career is quietly eroding your relationships at home?

When leaders ignore how their behaviors at work are affecting their most important relationships, it leads to exhaustion and burnout, says Lisa Skeffington. “It’s that constant pushing through the whole time, and it’s depleting your physiology without you even realizing that it happens,” she says.

Lisa is a multi-award winning psychotherapist, executive coach, and author with over 25 years in private practice. She joins Daniel and Peter to discuss emotional wealth and how to bring your best self to both work and home.

Tune in to learn:

• Key characteristics of a mentally and emotionally strong leader
• The three pillars of emotional wealth
• Some daily practices that can help develop emotional wealth

Lisa promotes a shift in mindset around success–away from “achieving more and having more” to “being fully present and connected to the life and the people we have around us so that we begin to regard emotional wealth as seriously as financial wealth.”

Whether it’s your first leadership role or one you’ve entered after decades of leading people, one thing is sure: your first 90 days in a new position can make or break your tenure.

In today’s conversation, Daniel and Peter look at what leaders should and shouldn’t do during their first 90 days. “It’s not a standard checklist for everybody,” says Peter, “and not everybody’s going to come in and do it the exact same way.”

Tune in to learn:

• Why you shouldn’t spend your entire 90 days listening
• The danger of focusing on your favorite aspects of your role
• How to cultivate a good working relationship with your boss

Plus, a fun conversation about the origins of some of the most iconic American companies–and the lessons a huge pivot can offer leaders.

“Whys unite and whats divide,” says Haydn Shaw.

Haydn is the founder of People Driven Results and the author of Sticking Points: How to Get 5 Generations Working Together in the 12 Places They Come Apart. Hailed by Time Magazine as an expert on cultural differences in the workplace, Haydn focuses on helping generations work together better with a combination of clear insight, humor, and practical advice.

In today’s conversation, Daniel, Peter, and Haydn discuss some of the most challenging aspects of having five generations in the workplace at the same time.

Tune in to learn:

• The new “life stage” that impacts the modern workplace
• Three things leaders can do to improve generational relationships in the workplace
• The value of “leaning into the negative” when it comes to retaining employees

Leaders can bridge a lot of divides simply by being curious, says Haydn. “You go online and find a list of nine things to know about Gen Z–that’s a list of whats, and whats are good, but whats divide us. Whys lead to great conversations.”

Tune in to learn:

• The value of including all participants in the planning process

Plus, some reflections on an insightful quote from Robert Frost, including what it says about delegation and manager wellbeing.

As a consultant and coach, Lorraine Armijos, founder of LAR Insights, has observed many leaders struggle to respond when she asks how they measure success.

The first response, she says, “is just a blank stare.” Some leaders gauge success entirely on revenue numbers. And finally, many leaders give a “laundry list of things.”

“It’s really important to start with what problem you’re trying to solve,” says Lorraine. “From there on, start creating that alignment through each layer” of the organization.

In this conversation with Daniel and Peter, Lorraine discusses the elements of leadership success and offers practical advice on how to focus on, collect, and measure the right data.

Tune in to learn:

• The three intangible measures of leadership success
• The slightly unconventional advice Lorraine offers for collecting data
• The one thing all leaders should remember when deciding where to focus their efforts

Ultimately, says Lorraine, leaders need to focus on the things that are within their control. “At every level of the organization, you will have a different level of control,” she says. “Make sure you are focusing on that, because otherwise, it’ll just be frustrating for you.”

“If you’re not clear on who you are, then the people around you are not going to be clear on where they’re going,” says Dominic George.

Dominic is a leadership strategist, executive coach, and founder of Vision Leadership for Life. He helps high-performing leaders rise into senior leadership without sacrificing their identity, values, or wellbeing.

In this conversation with Daniel and Peter, Dominic offers advice for leaders on how to stay centered on their core “why” without losing themselves to other people’s expectations.

Tune in to learn:

• One exercise to help you “read the room” better

When you don’t delegate, you risk impairing the growth of your organization, says Daniel in today’s episode of The Leadership Growth Podcast.

“That is a very limiting, very restrictive mindset,” he says. Choosing not to delegate will create bottlenecks in a system, and bottlenecks create inefficiencies.

Delegating can be tough for many leaders. Personality traits, poor experiences, and even fears of micromanaging can interfere with efficient delegation.

But as Daniel and Peter point out, delegation is an essential skill for all leaders to learn–for their own success and the success of their teams.

Tune in to learn:

• Three reasons why you should delegate
• Four steps of effective delegation
• Two vital words to use any time you assign a task

Plus, revisiting the origins of employee benefits, and why the employee experience matters even after someone leaves the organization.

Many leaders grew up with a mindset that encouraged giving 120% all day, every day.

But giving 120% all the time is not your best, says Amanda Younts, because it’s not sustainable.

Known to her audience as The Midlife Catalyst, Amanda promotes a leadership model that encourages self-compassion–a model that sustains leadership performance and improves the workplace for both leaders and their people.

In this conversation with Daniel and Peter, Amanda shares her philosophy and some practical advice to create sustainable, self-compassionate leadership.

Tune in to learn:

• How to customize your daily routines to your preferences, needs, and energy levels
• The difference between self-compassion and self-care
• Why you should have a “Board of Directors”

“It’s the small things in the day” that help you stay on top of your energy, outlook, and performance, Amanda says. “Your best is good enough.”

“Each person has their own story,” says Kerim Kfuri, author and host of “The Supply and Demand Show” and President and CEO of The Atlas Network, LLC.

In this conversation with Daniel and Peter, Kerim shares insights gleaned from a lifetime of experiences in a multi-cultural and cross-border world. From growing up as a child of immigrants speaking multiple languages to leading a packing and logistics organization with over 2,000 suppliers around the world, Kerim has learned what works–and what doesn’t–when it comes to working together through global differences.

Tune in to learn:

• How to set the stage for working with others across cultures through survey questions
• Why curiosity is so important in leading across global boundaries

The great leveler in all leadership is communication, Kerim says. Communication helps you “connect the dots and know exactly who and how and what each person’s experiences are.”
