   Doubt as a Tool to Improve Leadership with Marc Pitman

   Mostly, we think of leadership as epitomizing confidence. We lead, therefore we know. But beneath that is a deeper truth, an apparent weakness - vulnerability. But vulnerability can be a leader’s superpower. As Concord Leadership Group's founder, Marc Pitman helps leaders lead their teams with greater effectiveness and less stress. His latest book is The Surprising Gift of Doubt: Use Uncertainty to Become the Exceptional Leader You Are Meant to Be. He's also the executive director of TheNonprofitAcademy.com and an Advisory Panel member of Rogare, a prestigious international fundraising think tank. Marc's expertise has caught the attention of media organizations as diverse as The Chronicle of Philanthropy, Al Jazeera, Fox News, SUCCESS magazine, and Real Simple. In this episode, Marc highlights bringing back the values and humanity into leadership other than just the mechanistic way of leading. What you will learn from this episode: Find out about the map to leadership, so you know what stage in the four quadrants of leadership you are and learn to manage yourself and your team so you move forward Learn about actionable tips to help in your personal journey as a leader and as a team as you navigate the world of the unknown Learn to find strength in vulnerability and transparency to make that your point of progression in leadership "Consider, I'll just say, consider listening to… that doubt, that confusion – ‘internal’ we've been told is subjective. It's emotions and that's bad. … try to think of them as a partner." - Marc Pitman Topics Covered: 02:04 - Bringing values and humanity back to business leaders 03:05 - Helping leaders face the challenge of the unknown 05:16 - The map to leadership and the two axis 07:11 - Why feeling doubt is never a moral failing or sign of weakness for leaders 08:20 - How uncertainty and self-doubt help you figure out how you are as an individual and understand others more 10:23 - The two personality assessment tools to help leaders in their goal-setting 12:05 - Looking at the map -- the four quadrants of where you are to help you progress as a leader and as a team 14:23 - Should everybody be open about their doubts and share them widely with people? 16:43 - Permitting yourself to think you're the perfect person in the leadership role Key Takeaways: "Some of the best leaders feel like, they must doubt, is a moral failing or a sign of weakness. And it could be that you need professional help, and there's no stigma in that. There are a lot of places to get help. But it could also be that you're really on the verge of greatness." - Marc Pitman "Knowing that there's a map, figuring out where you are, where's your process on the four quadrants, and then how do you best be in that quadrant? And not try to short circuit your growth." - Marc Pitman "There's strength in vulnerability and being vulnerable. But I would caution leaders to be vulnerable in safe spaces only. Not everybody has your best interests at heart. There are employees or people in your team that are gunning for you." - Marc Pitman Resources: Get the 4 Quadrants Worksheet FREE: Click here: https://concordleadershipgroup.com/focusedleader/ (https://concordleadershipgroup.com/focusedleader/) Connect with Marc Pitman: Website: https://ConcordLeadershipGroup.com/ (https://concordleadershipgroup.com/) Twitter: https://twitter.com/marcapitman (https://twitter.com/marcapitman) LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/marcapitman (https://linkedin.com/in/marcapitman) Facebook: https://facebook.com/concordleadershipgroup (https://facebook.com/concordleadershipgroup) Instagram: https://instagram.com/marcpitman (https://instagram.com/marcpitman) YouTube: https://youtube.com/marcpitman (https://youtube.com/marcpitman)

   Leadership in VUCA Times with Melissa Eisler

   We were already in the midst of VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) times. Then COVID hit. Now it’s VUCA 2.0 given COVID’s very real economic and mental health ripples. So the question is, “How to flourish as a leader despite mounting uncertainty?” This is Melissa’s realm of expertise. In this episode, Melissa unpacks how VUCA affects leaders. She talks about the mistakes leaders make, the importance of slowing down, and shares valuable insights that you can apply to remain intact, navigate through VUCA and be the leader your organization, your people, and this world needs you to be. Melissa Eisler, MA, PCC, is an ICF certified executive coach. She partners with leaders to develop their systems thinking, resilience, strategic communication skills, and executive presence in order to reach individual, team, and organizational goals. She blends more than 15 years of experience in leadership positions in the corporate world, with her Master’s degree in Organizational Leadership and extensive background in mindfulness to help her clients master their leadership skills and steer their teams through challenges and change. Get a copy of her leadership ebook at https://melissaeisler.com/leadership-ebook-leaders-guide-vuca/ (https://melissaeisler.com/leadership-ebook-leaders-guide-vuca/) What you will learn from this episode: Understand what VUCA is and how to navigate it Discover the power of pause Find out how to develop resilience and adaptability – the competencies you need “To really answer the question of how do you know when I'm navigating VUCA effectively or what's the best thing I could do, I would recommend assessing what impact your state of being has on people.” - Melissa Eisler Topics Covered: 02:11 – The biggest challenge leaders face in business today. 04:26 – Self inquiry, the feedback loop, and the mistakes leaders are making despite knowing that they need not to stay still in this changing world. 08:02 – An actionable step leaders can undertake to develop resilience. 09:43 – How to develop one’s curiosity? 11:54 – Actionable tips and Melissa’s go to’s that absolutely work in terms of building leadership presence. 13:50 – Melissa’s free Leadership eBook and the 5Cs of her leadership framework that paved way for it. 15:50 – What is the VUCA challenge asking of you, or what kind of leader is that asking you to be? Buddhist teacher and author Thich Nhat Hanh and his story. 19:45 – Melissa’s final message. Key Takeaways: “As a leader, if you show up frazzled, anxious, and worn out by the unknown, letting your nervous system get the best of you, others are going to feel that too, and then everyone in the organization ends up unproductive and stressed as a result. If you show up a steady during change in volatility, others follow suit and feel at ease by your steadiness. It's the leaders’ job to help others to the groundlessness of VUCA.” “Learning how to lead is a process and a mindset, and there's not one book you could just read or step you can take to learn how to become better. You got to do the inner work, and the answers aren't in a book. They're through a process, and usually it starts with self inquiry.” “It isn't what you do. It's how you are being that is most important.” Connect with Melissa Eisler: Website: https://melissaeisler.com (https://melissaeisler.com/) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissaeisler/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissaeisler/) Twitter: https://twitter.com/MelissaEisler (https://twitter.com/MelissaEisler) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MelissaEislerExecutiveCoach (https://www.facebook.com/MelissaEislerExecutiveCoach)

   ‘Work-Life Balance’ is Killing You with David Taylor-Klaus

   A leader’s mindset affects the entirety of the group, but with the pandemic and the things it make us experience, disengagement is slowly becoming present and it’s making life a little harder to live. Left with no choice but to find and do work in order to survive, we tend to pay more attention to that job instead of crafting the life we want. In these times, learning how to live a rhythm-organized life is necessary for you to avoid burning your entire soul out. David Taylor – Klaus is the author of the best selling new book “Mindset Mondays with DTK: 52 Ways to REWIRE Your Thinking and Transform Your Life (https://www.amazon.com/Mindset-Mondays-DTK-Thinking-Transform/dp/1735460818)” – a book that will guide you towards living a life in rhythm. He reintroduces successful entrepreneurs and senior executives to their families, and challenges leaders in their teams to reach their highest levels of performance in both their professional and personal lives. As a serial entrepreneur, David was recognised for combining candour, intelligence, and humour with masterful coaching. In this episode, David shares his insights on the disengagement leaders experience that slowly kills them and their being. Here, he discusses how a ‘work-life balance’ system practiced in your life actually affects you in a way that exhausts you out, and how good it would be for you to shift into the idea of ‘life rhythm’. Listen and check these concepts out. What you will learn from this episode: Discover why the concept of ‘work-life balance’ is actually killing you Learn ways on how you can start making a move to change the way you experience life with the help of a framework Find out what ‘life rhythm’ is and why it’s better than the idea of ‘work-life balance’ “We are paying attention to work more than our life when in fact it should be crafting the life you want.” - David Taylor - Klaus Topics Covered: 01:23 – The reason why David focused on the concept of mindset out of everything that’s possible to cover in leadership. 02:29 – What is the biggest challenge leaders face in business today? 04:44 – What are some of the biggest mistakes people are making in their attempts on living a good life? 05:57 – Some actionable tips on how someone can actually start making a move and have traction. 08:45 – Other actionable steps David recommends for you to take. 10:11 – Another tip David shares for you to start getting more out of what you read: The REWIRE Framework. 11:57 – A free resource: The REWIRE Framework explained. 14:35 – The link that will lead you to see the REWIRE Framework: https://www.mindsetmondayswithdtk.com (https://www.mindsetmondayswithdtk.com/) 15:05 – Why does David hate the term ‘work-life balance’ so much and why it should be changed to ‘life rhythm’. Key Takeaways: “Mindset, for me, is the most critical element to leadership because not only does the leader’s mindset impact his or her ability to lead and the way they lead; it's contagious. I've always heard that a leader sets the weather. The leader’s mindset is something that he imbues, or I’ll say, emits and becomes contagious to their team, and that's something incredibly important. It changes the way teams work.” – David Taylor - Klaus “When you stop and look at your life and take an assessment with blameless discernment, letting go of the judgment, just objectively looking at where you are and where things are going, you’ll look forward and you’ll realize, ‘If I change nothing, if I keep going the way I'm going, it's just going to keep getting worse’.” – David Taylor - Klaus “You can wait until you hit bottom, or you can make the decision that this is the bottom and you can start taking action to change things.” – David Taylor - Klaus Connect with David Taylor-Klaus: Website: https://www.mindsetmondayswithdtk.com (https://www.mindsetmondayswithdtk.com/)
