   Three Tips to get unstuck

   In this episode of the Mission-Critical Leadership podcast, I’ll give you three tips to get unstuck. Let’s be honest, being stuck sucks. And yet, despite our best efforts, we can all end up there. We have a good plan. The goals are clear (and smart (https://justinhiebert.com/amateurs-have-goals-professionals-have-process/)) People have been recruited to the right position. And we still don’t take action Why? The Rosecrans principle William Rosecrans was a Civil War general. Everyone believed him to be the man, yet chances are, you’ve never heard of him. So what happened? Nothing. And that’s the problem. Rosecrans, known for taking care of his troops and creating great plans, never acted on any of it. Paralyzed by fear, he was unable to experience any victory. Instead of experiencing success (and fame), he is largely forgotten in history. How can you avoid the same fate? Three Tips To Get Unstuck Here are three tips to get unstuck on your goals and plans. 1.) Incremental Growth. Success rarely comes in big chunks, instead, it is through small, incremental growth steps that lead to breakthroughs. Make small progress every day. 2.) Failure is not final Rather, failure is the only pathway to success. Failure is not something to be avoided. Instead, it is something embraced and a necessary path of learning. 3.) Know your “why.” Knowing your why is always more important than how. Keep focused on the big things that really matter, and trust that you can figure out the how. —– Dr. Justin Hiebert (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoIQrhmkYT-oUvXCovSoaQg) works with mission-critical leaders (http://justinhiebert.com) to accomplish the unimaginable.

   The Difference Between Being Busy And Being Purposeful

   There is a difference between busy and purposeful. In today’s episode, we’re going to explore those issues and help you craft a plan for intentionality on your leadership journey. In This Episode In this episode, we talk about the difference between busy and purposeful. Busy people are distracted. They are running from one activity to the next, afraid of missing out. We’ve all met people who can’t put their phones down, even in a conversation. Afraid of missing out, they are scrolling for the next distraction so they can avoid the present moment. In contrast to this, purposeful people seek out intentional influence. Purposeful people have created “white space” in their heads, and on their calendars, so they can be fully present. When you practice intentionality, you seek out ways to inspire and equip those around you. Busy people are chasing. When you’re busy, you’re afraid to be still. Busy people fill their calendars and as a result, are always chasing false joy. In the pursuit of busyness, we fill are chasing every possible outcome, and fail to attain anything of significance. In contrast to this, purposeful people are in pursuit. They pursue greatness, significance, and meaning. When purposeful people clear their calendar and their mind, they are free to practice presence and influence. Busy people are reactionary. By virtue of being distracted and chasing opportunity, busy people are reactionary. They never have time to anticipate what’s ahead and fail to plan appropriately. By failing to have time for reflection and planning, they can never anticipate what’s ahead. Purposeful people counter this by being proactive. They build in time to think, reflect, and prepare their team for the journey ahead. Purposeful people are passionate about anticipating obstacles and preparing wisely. When purposeful people are proactive, they are free to develop others and build their legacy. There is a difference between busy and purposeful. Choose Purposeful. —– Dr. Justin Hiebert (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoIQrhmkYT-oUvXCovSoaQg) works with mission-critical leaders (http://justinhiebert.com) to accomplish the unimaginable.

   Skills to H.E.L.P. You Listen

   Welcome to episode 20 of the Mission-Critical Leadership Podcast. Coming up on today’s episode, I’ll give you four skills to H.E.L.P. you listen better. You’ll win at life and work with these four skills, so let’s dive in. In This Episode Today, we talk about the four skills to H.E.L.P. you listen better to those around you. We live in a world that is highly divided. Most of the time, we are waiting to respond instead of truly listening to those around us. Waiting to respond is not listening. As a coach, I listen to people and make sure they are communicating with the world the way they want to. Skills to H.E.L.P. You Listen The skills to H.E.L.P. you listen can serve as an acronym that reminds you of how to develop your listening skills. H stands for Hear. Do you really hear the person you’re talking to? Instead of waiting to respond, try to really hear what they are saying. E stands for Empathize. Now that you’ve heard them, empathize with their viewpoint. Can you detect emotion? How are they frustrated? What made them angry? Are you better able to see their worldview or perspective? Empathy builds bridges of connection. L stands for Learn. What can you learn from them? This doesn’t mean that you have to agree with everything. Instead, it is an acknowledgment that you don’t have it all figured out. When you try to learn from them, you admit through humility that you are trying to get better. P stands for Proceed. How do you proceed in unity? With a world marked by divisive politics, religious ideologies, and sports teams, how can we create common ground areas of understanding? When you hear someone, empathize with their viewpoint, learn from them, and proceed in unity, you have made progress as a listener. Using these skills values those around us and models strong, courageous leadership. By utilizing these four points you will succeed at work, in life, and in the random moments of joy and intrigue around us every day.

   Your Unique Leadership Skills

   Have you ever stopped to think about your unique leadership skills? This is episode 19 and in today’s podcast, I’m helping you discover three ways you can utilize what makes you unique so you can lead others better. In This Episode In this episode, we talk about your unique leadership skills. Leadership can be a long and lonely journey if we let it. However, it can also be a thrilling adventure that transforms everything it touches. In the mundane experiences of life, we can lose sight of this. We can also lose sight of this in the chaos. So how do you balance the two? How do you prepare yourself to experience everything life has to offer as a leader? By knowing what makes you unique. By understanding your unique leadership skills, you’ll be able to see not just who your people need, but why you’re ready for the task at hand. So let’s dive into how Moses used his experience in the desert to become exactly the leader the Israelites needed as they left Egypt. Your Unique Leadership Skills We’ve all been through experiences, educational endeavors, jobs, relationships, and circumstances that have shaped who we are. Sometimes we forget that those experiences give us a unique way to lead those around us. In this video, we’re going to look at Moses and see how his desert experience equipped him for the journey of leading the Israelites out of Egypt and through the desert. 1.) Moses lived in the desert. Because of this, he how to find food, water, and shelter. He knew how to survive and help others do the same. 2.) Moses was 80. Walked slowly and with a cane. A 25-year-old wouldn’t have walked slow enough to lead 2 million people. It was Moses’ advanced age and physical limitations that made him perfect for the job. 3.) Moses was humbled in isolation and cultivated a heart deep in the quality of wisdom he possessed. He had time alone to think, contemplate, reflect, and integrate his experiences. We also see this ability modeled in others like David and Jesus. Integrating experiences into character and wisdom is a foundational leadership activity.

   3 Strategies for taking action

   We all become distracted and distant. In this episode, I want to give you three strategies for taking action when you notice that happening. 3 Strategies for taking action Sometimes, all you can do is get started. After not being in the garden for over a month, I had a lot of weeding to do. Avoiding the problem didn’t work, the weeds only got worse. So how do you get started “weeding” out the distraction in your own life? I want to give you three key points: 1.) Commit to act, even when you don’t have all the information. A study of successful CEO’s revealed that they usually make up their mind and act with only 70% of the information. Anything beyond that is irrelevant. High-performing CEO’s then trust their gut and their team to fill in the gaps. Analysis paralysis kills all dreams. 2.) Commit to act within the boundaries you give yourself. You can’t accomplish a big win or significant impact by trying to do everything. Set the boundaries of focus and stay there. Making progress in small increments leads to big success (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=015cilu2ALk). 3.) Commit to act with your team. You can’t do it alone. Find, recruit, and develop others to play integral roles in your success. These three strategies for taking action can help you overcome mental barriers, physical barriers, and communal barriers. By implementing these three strategies for taking action, you’ll see a huge growth in your own potential and leadership capabilities.
