Wednesday, February 10, 2021 • Duration 11:38

In this segment I share two strategies to cultivate a motivated, innovative team. We discussed the value of experimentation, exploration and play where the focus is more on coming up with fresh ideas and testing them then on maintaining the status quo. I provide examples of companies that are afforded talented team members to devote time to side projects and how those projects became extremely successful, dramatically increasing the company’s brand recognition & bottom line. I also explain the value of hiring diverse teams; people from different backgrounds and experiences and skills sets as well as different personalities who share a common work ethic and value the company’s mission tend to be the most collaborative. These diverse teams have the most breakthroughs as they avoid “group think”

Episode 5: Power Vs Influence: Knowing the difference could make or break your company

Season 1 · Episode 3

Wednesday, February 10, 2021 • Duration 09:44

In this episode I discuss two distinctive types of leadership; power and influence. These two styles are often considered synonymous, as if you have one, it’s assumed you probably have the other. But a closer look at these two forms of leader ship shows they work and wildly different ways. One can spread your influence and the other can lead to your downfall. I show how those power driven who are primarily focused on financial gain and winning at all costs ultimately fail. I contrast this with a concise description of influencer leaders, those who build motivated, engaged teams by investing in their people. The episode reinforces the point that you can develop these behaviors and create a vibrant corporate culture that consistently attracts, engages and retains the best people.
