As leaders, it can be tempting to bypass team building exercises and just get down to business already. That is a very bad idea.
In today’s episode, co-hosts Richard Lindner and Jeff Mask build a solid case for why leaders in today’s virtual environment can’t afford not to design trust-building experiences for their team. If you want to make an impact—and you want it to be enduring—you have to rally people to do their best work, or it won’t be sustainable. Your dreams and aspirations will crumble, and work will be a drag. When you align people, connect with them, and build deep strong relationships, the output is the best work of your career. You can accomplish way more, way faster, and more profitably when you have a strong foundation of trust.
Listen in for some great practical advice on intentionally designing organizational trust as a leader.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:
3 levels of trust-building experiences you need to implement consistently
Creative ideas for shared experiences your team will love and remember
3 big questions to ask during a vulnerability-creating experience
What you need to know about assessments before you give them to your team

How Leaders Can Make Decisions.... Despite Burnout, Overwhelm, and Fatigue
When is a decision yours to make as a leader and when do you entrust it to your team?
On today’s episode, co-hosts Richard Lindner and Jeff Mask talk about the fine line leaders walk when it comes to making decisions. If you think that being a leader, being in charge, automatically means you make all the decisions, you need to take a step back. Sometimes the biggest decision a leader can make is deciding to delegate that decision-making to someone else. As leaders, we also need to take a deep dive into why we make the decisions we make. Are we being ruled by fear, or do we have the best interests of our team in mind? As leaders, our job is to multiply effective leadership—to lead others well so they may lead others well.
Listen in for some actionable tips and helpful frameworks for making, delegating, and analyzing decisions.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:
Tips for creating decision-making opportunities for your team
3 big fears that lead to unhealthy decisions
2 frameworks that can help you make better decisions
The one thing NOT to say when a poor decision is made on your team

How Leaders Can Get the Most Out of Their Time | A Productivity Strategy for Leaders
What’s one of the single biggest frustrations/struggles for new leaders? Time management.
On today’s episode, co-hosts Richard Lindner and Jeff Mask take on the challenge of helping new leaders manage their time effectively as they transition from an individual contributor role to the role of manager. That shift is no joke, they say. And hopefully it helps to know that you’re not alone. No less than 100% of leaders find this difficult. And no two leaders approach time management the same way. Jeff and Richard don’t. Their suggestion is to learn as much as you can, then put a plan into action. Think of it as an experiment. If it doesn’t work, and you have to change it, that’s still a win. It’s a stepping stone on your way to success.
Listen in for some helpful guidelines and frameworks you can test out as you transition into leadership.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:
How the 3 Ps and the 4 Ds can help eliminate frustration and challenges
How to use the Eisenhower Matrix as you plan your day, week, and month
The pros and cons of a player-coach role
How and why to use day-theming in addition to calendar-blocking
