LEADERS APPROACH TRANSITION WITH CAREFUL EXCITEMENT “Change is an inevitable part of life. Every living being, individual, organization or team must evolve to survive. Not all change is good, but change is to be expected. Some transitions are unavoidable but welcome, some are unpredictable but rewarding, some are dreaded from the first signs. Politics and policies might the origin of transition. New market conditions, changes in economies, evolution of culture can all bring transformation which a leader must navigate. Knowing which direction to pivot, when to make the move, how to land, these are the purview of the leader. Huge risks, high stakes, exhausting stress can bring the best team to the brink. The leader will be tested in this season. The vision will be tested. The team will be tested. Hold on to values, principles, priorities and purpose in the face of change and you will transition well .” Watch the video 6-14-24: Follow on Spotify - https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/j-loren-norris ______________________________ Leading Leaders Podcast is a short but impactful leadership video, blog and podcast distributed 5 days a week by J Loren Norris to promote faith, family and freedom in the face of a global leadership drought.

LEADERS ARE EXPECTED TO CHALLENGE THE WAY OTHERS THINK “Leaders are critical thinkers. There is no idle mind in a leader. When the thoughts which dominate the mind of a leader are trapped in the head of the leader no one benefits. Whether held back because of convention or conviction those thoughts are missed critically. Take time as a leader share your thoughts, review your thoughts, challenge your thoughts and grow your thoughts. Make sure your thoughts are focused on your purpose and your priorities. Make sure your team is applying those thoughts to the purposes and priorities you have assigned to them.” Watch the video 6-13-24: Follow on Spotify - https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/j-loren-norris ______________________________ Leading Leaders Podcast is a short but impactful leadership video, blog and podcast distributed 5 days a week by J Loren Norris to promote faith, family and freedom in the face of a global leadership drought.

STORYPOWER TV INTERVIEW - NATALIE LAVELOCK WITH J LOREN NORRIS Can you imagine the looks on their faces when I announced to my friends, family and colleagues that I was planning to walk away from every security I had ever known – a successful career, steady paycheck, health insurance, retirement benefits – everything, to strike out on my own because I felt it was what God was calling me to do! After months of hard work and a failed first stab at business, I honestly considered going back. But the calling within me was so strong I knew that I had to keep going. I knew that other people needed what I had to share. And so I pivoted and tweaked and just kept going…and now almost 7 years later I am blessed to run a successful consulting company that allows me to live a life I love, is fully aligned with my faith and my values, and allows me to serve at my highest level. And if that weren’t amazing enough, I get to walk beside other purpose-driven entrepreneurs who are on the same journey. I get the honor of showing them how they, too, can turn their expertise into income and build a business and life they love – whether they are just starting out or taking it to the next level. I believe, the world is a better place when we are all serving at our highest level. And the longer I am in business, the more I am convinced that people need a way to break out of the soul sucking mediocrity that threatens to keep them small and squelch the divine spark that resides within. I am convinced that together we can fan that spark into a flame! I now have the peace and joy of knowing every day I’m walking in my purpose, on purpose, for a purpose! And you can have that too because when you say “Yes” to what God is calling you to do – no matter how scary it may look, He will provide a way and nothing will be impossible for you!

SPEAKING TRUTH IN A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT IS A LEADERS OBLIGATION “Finding the time, the space and the opportunity to share your ideas in a sympathetic crowd seems like the easy part as a leader or professional communicator. In reality, the more hostile the environment to your ideas, philosophies and convictions, the more likely the opportunity will appear. To be prepared for such an invitation, one must be skilled at the verbal tap dance of candor balanced with compassion, plus a delivery of grace tempered grit.” Watch the video 6-12-24: Follow on Spotify - https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/j-loren-norris ______________________________ Leading Leaders Podcast is a short but impactful leadership video, blog and podcast distributed 5 days a week by J Loren Norris to promote faith, family and freedom in the face of a global leadership drought.

A GREAT SPEECH OR SPEECH GIVER DOES NOT A GREAT LEADER MAKE “The relationship between strong communication skills and strong leadership is a paradox. The direct line which states, great leaders must be great communicators is well evidenced. The assumption however, that a great communicator is also a great leader is not foundational in truth. Many slick talking, silver tongued devils have made millions through the art of persuasion, manipulation and ill intent. Skilled communication does not reveal the motives of the heart as readily as one might hope. Have you ever seen the interviews with the notorious Jeffrey Dahmer? Many have said he was attractive, pleasant, engaging to talk to and unsuspecting. His communication skills and his demeanor likely made way for his thirteen years of evil. Rising as a great leader demands mastering the skill of great communication. However, simply mastering the skill of great communication does not make one a leader or worth following.” Watch the video 6-11-24: Follow on Spotify - https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/j-loren-norris ______________________________ Leading Leaders Podcast is a short but impactful leadership video, blog and podcast distributed 5 days a week by J Loren Norris to promote faith, family and freedom in the face of a global leadership drought.

LEADERS REQUIRE RELATIONSHIPS EVEN WHEN ISOLATION IS SAFER “The more a leader trusts people, the more risk they take and the more vulnerable they become. A leader with an enormous circle of friends is a leader at risk. Watch any suspenseful drama you wish from Avengers to Minions from Yellow Stone to Tulsa King and you will see leaders hero are constantly testing the veracity of their inner circle. Who shot JR? Who betrayed Kennedy? Who killed Mufasa? It’s always those closest to leadership who can inflict the worst pain. We like to think they won’t. We’re likely to think having close friends and associates is risky business. Why build an inner circle? Why cultivate friendships and mentorships when there is so much to lose?

LEADERSHIP AND CUSTOMER SERVICE ARE RELATED BUT NOT THE SAME “As leaders we are responsible to many people. We are responsible to customers, the board, any leaders higher on the org chart, our significant others, our children and ultimately to those we lead. Ironically, we are simultaneously responsible FOR none of them. Perhaps in some very specific legal wrangling we can be held accountable for certain behaviors of those we influence. But by and large people have to face their own consequences for the choices they make and actions they pursue. As customers, there are industry standards for quality, performance and delivery. The board expects productivity and profit. The family demands presence and participation. Often, the team we lead begs for perfection. How do you please them all? ” Watch the video 6-06-24: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/j-loren-norris/episodes/LEADERSHIP-AND-CUSTOMER-SERVICE-ARE-RELATED-BUT-NOT-THE-SAME-e2kiutm Follow on Spotify - https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/j-loren-norris ______________________________ Leading Leaders Podcast is a short but impactful leadership video, blog and podcast distributed 5 days a week by J Loren Norris to promote faith, family and freedom in the face of a global leadership drought.

HEY LEADERS GUARD YOUR PRESSURE POINTS DILIGENTLY “The vulnerability the masses desire and appreciate comes with transparency and risk. Exposing your weaknesses and humanity as a leader can lead to blind spots being exposed you are not aware of. A great team will know when you have blind spots and your inner circle will expose them only to you. A team member who is not sold out to the team but to self will see those blind spots and exploit them, perhaps even capitalize on them. This sort of betrayal happens at every level of leadership from scouts to the White House, from the sanitation workers to the Royal Guard, from pick up basketball to the NBA. Know your Achilles heal, your natural weaknesses as a human, your personal weaknesses as an individual and your organizational weaknesses as a team. The moment you risk being authentic, vulnerable and transparent, you risk it all. Do so wisely. ” Watch the video 6-05-24: Follow on Spotify - https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/j-loren-norris ______________________________ Leading Leaders Podcast is a short but impactful leadership video, blog and podcast distributed 5 days a week by J Loren Norris to promote faith, family and freedom in the face of a global leadership drought.

LEADERS MUST REGULARLY REARRANGE THE FURNITURE IN THEIR MIND or AI WILL “The notions of AI becoming a major contributor to the body of work we consider intellectual prowess is concerning to me. I won’t call it a fear but a caution. When we consider how often a book or lecture can challenge, shape and redirect our thinking on a subject or relationship it is profound. When our ideas are changed by facts, by others opinions, by others’ emotional experiences because we empathize with a situation we have never lived through, we realize how easily our mind can be changed. We watch a movie, read a novel, study an ancient text and all of our existing biases are unraveled much to our dismay. When we later discover the premise of this life changing revelation was a lie, intentional deception, redirected ire or misguided concern, distrust and frustration are the fruit. For the sake for the future, if you must employ AI, let it be to perform the mundane tasks of dishwashing and sweeping the floor not rewriting the historical and relational texts we all depend on for influence and insights.” Watch the video 6-04-24: Follow on Spotify - https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/j-loren-norris ______________________________ Leading Leaders Podcast is a short but impactful leadership video, blog and podcast distributed 5 days a week by J Loren Norris to promote faith, family and freedom in the face of a global leadership drought.

SUCCESS ISN'T PERMANENT - FAILURE ISN'T FATAL - CRITICISM ISN'T CRITICAL “After 30 years of marriage, I have learned some of the highest praise I can expect from my wife is “ya”. That’s it. Not deep in-depth evaluation and feedback causing deep reflection and life choice reevaluation. Not the kind of responsive, thoughtful, endearing and emotionally invigorating WOO HOO one might long for. Just YA. If I made the mistake of measuring the enthusiasm of her response against others, it could be fatal to my success. Simultaneously, if I accepted every exuberant and exhilarating praise of every commentary about my work, my ideas, my methods as the truth, I might find myself living in a false reality and self adulation. As a leader, as a communicator, please measure the feedback against the qualifications and persona of the critic as well as the validity of the critique. Don’t believe your own press releases or public relations as the most accurate evaluation either. Seek out people who care enough to tell you the truth and know enough to make you better.” Watch the video 6-03-24: Follow on Spotify - https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/j-loren-norris ______________________________ Leading Leaders Podcast is a short but impactful leadership video, blog and podcast distributed 5 days a week by J Loren Norris to promote faith, family and freedom in the face of a global leadership drought.

AVERAGE IS AN ATTITUDE LEADERS MUST AVOID “Call it status quo. Call it getting by. Call it a leisurely pace. Call it what you like, when we approach life with an Eeor attitude, greatness will not hunt us done. Success by any measure you define will not be achieved by someone with an attitude of average. Doing just enough to get the job, keep the job, get the grade or keep the relationship is a recipe for failure. Work ethic is a pejorative these days, but no person whose wealth, accomplishment, societal impact or cultural transformation has been recorded historically could be considered average in either action or attitude. You’re gonna need an attitude of excellence and actions of diligence instead. If you desire to leave an indelible mark of contribution as your legacy any AVERAGE attitude must go.” Watch the video 5-31-24: Follow on Spotify - https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/j-loren-norris ______________________________ Leading Leaders Podcast is a short but impactful leadership video, blog and podcast distributed 5 days a week by J Loren Norris to promote faith, family and freedom in the face of a global leadership drought.

“LET’S GRAB LUNCH” IS A LEADERSHIP DECLARATION AND A FADING TRADITION “The idea of comfort and its relationship to the familiar is so subtle it’s almost subconscious. The nostalgic feel of gathering around the family dinner table to share a meal and recap the day together is a lost art. As I see the list of restaurants closing their doors, some of them for good, I recognize a similar quality in most of them. ATMOSPHERE. The family dining model, which was made popular in places like Kentucky Fried Chicken Cracker Barrel, Red Lobster, Denny’s, and many more. This no small thing. Culture has shifted. Traditions have been abandoned. Expectations are vanishing. There is an economic impact for sure. Learning the art of good service, the value of a first job, and the opportunities to start an entrepreneurial venture with some sense of security; gone with the closures. These are both warning signs and reminders like the garage door entry from the alley, the vanishing of the front stoop or wrap around porch, the soda counter or malt shop all of these are a diminishing of the strength of community. Many locals don’t even gather for church anymore - we can just watch online. It takes the devastation of a storm or months of mandated ‘house arrest’ styled confinement for communities to come together face to face. Please, do not relegate leadership, community, communication to AI bots and virtual meetings. Remember what it means to gather around a campfire and share stories of freedom.” Watch the video 5-30-24: Follow on Spotify - https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/j-loren-norris ______________________________ Leading Leaders Podcast is a short but impactful leadership video, blog and podcast distributed 5 days a week by J Loren Norris to promote faith, family and freedom in the face of a global leadership drought.

WHEN THEY CAN’T SEEM TO FOLLOW BASIC INSTRUCTIONS - LEAD WITH CLEAR INTENT “When I was younger, even before joining the military I would be regularly accused of ‘over thinking things’. I would be given an assignment and my brain would go to work instantly, not always correctly, but instantly on working out a solution. Simultaneously my brain would begin looking for alternatives to whatever prescribe method of completing the task had been proposed or in their mind, directed, instructed, commanded and expected. My brain was looking for challenges, problems and potential pitfalls. I was not instructed to do that. Many of my teachers, bosses, leaders, coaches wanted to know if I could or would simply ‘follow the instructions given’. In other words would I comply, or would I think freely? This was not just an issue when I was young, the compliance test is on going even now.

OPINIONS ARE AS CONTAGIOUS AS ATTITUDES - WISDOM IS NOT “If you ask enough random people the same question you will discover the vast diversity of human thought. If you ask a group of friends the same question you will more likely discover the power of group think. This reality is a leadership issue. Great leaders work diligently to inspire, motivate and educate the groups of people they lead. They also understand the challenge this phenomenon represents when another influencer drives the narrative in their group or team. Whether traditional media, social media or more localized personal influence the impact of a disruptive intent can be disastrous. If you lead, lead the narrative not just the people.” Watch the video 5-28-24: Follow on Spotify - https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/j-loren-norris ______________________________ Leading Leaders Podcast is a short but impactful leadership video, blog and podcast distributed 5 days a week by J Loren Norris to promote faith, family and freedom in the face of a global leadership drought.

6 WINDOWS EVERY LEADER NEEDS TO SEE THROUGH STORYPOWER “It is way too easy to get stuck in one’s own story, problems, issues, pain and details. When a leader or communicator is overly focused on delivering their story with power and drama, they may lose the impact they desired to have on the crowd. Taking time to perceive your story through the eyes, heart and mind of the audience and those who made the opportunity possible will shift the perspective drastically.

4 FACES OF A GREAT STORY - HOW MANY WAYS A STORY COULD BE USED TO ENGAGE AND INFORM “Many people struggle to use stories in a talk, a presentation or significant leadership conversation. They struggle because they are concerned that a story might seem too fluffy, soft or warm and not a demonstration of competence. A well selected story can fill in many gaps. A well crafted story can carry many themes, ideas, examples and instructions without becoming overly pushy or academic. A well selected, well crafted, well delivered story connects deeply and allows the information to settle and remain in the memory of an audience. In this video you will hear of and see demonstrated four basic story faces communicators should consider when choosing the story to tell.” Watch the video 5-23-24: Follow on Spotify - https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/j-loren-norris ______________________________ Leading Leaders Podcast is a short but impactful leadership video, blog and podcast distributed 5 days a week by J Loren Norris to promote faith, family and freedom in the face of a global leadership drought.

HEY LEADER YOUR STORY IS ABOUT YOUR AUDIENCE - HERE’S HOW “For more than a decade I have been helping leaders and communicators from all walks of life deliver messages with lasting impact. The way communication varies in intent, purpose and delivery might seem indistinguishable to many, but when you’re in the audience a story is very clearly ‘for you’ our not. The speaker who makes THEIR STORY all about them might tell a great story about a great life lived or a tragic event overcome and that’s a powerful demonstration of skill. However, the speaker, leader, communicator who tells a story the audience can see, feel and experience themselves in will connect deeper with a greater probability of bringing transformation to the lives of those in the audience. In this video I will reveal six essential qualities every communicator must weave into their storytelling to be most effective.” Watch the video 5-22-24: Follow on Spotify - https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/j-loren-norris ______________________________ Leading Leaders Podcast is a short but impactful leadership video, blog and podcast distributed 5 days a week by J Loren Norris to promote faith, family and freedom in the face of a global leadership drought.

‘JUST GET OVER IT’ SHOULD NOT BE THE ATTITUDE OF ANY LEADER IN NTHE FACE OF INJUSTICE “There is a war raging right under your nose and you might be unaware, you might be immune, you might be inoculated or you might be involved. It is not a new war. It is not a war without casualties, expenses or long term consequences. It is a war of attrition via loss of will and manipulation. It is a war of attitudes.

RESILIENCE IS AN ESSENTIAL ATTITUDE OF LEADERSHIP - THE PAYOFF IS SUCCESS “A leader who stares down the barrel of failure and does not tremble is stalwart. A leader who remains determined in the face of delay will see the reward of completion in due time. A leader who takes the blows of criticism in stride along side lavish adulation with no notable change in demeanor exhibits the character required for greatness. A leader who is self controlled in their emotion when all the world seems against them possesses the attitude required to succeed. A leader who masters these and the sticktuitness to face every trial with courage to press on will be known by all for their resilience.” Watch the video 5-16-24: Follow on Spotify - https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/j-loren-norris ______________________________ Leading Leaders Podcast is a short but impactful leadership video, blog and podcast distributed 5 days a week by J Loren Norris to promote faith, family and freedom in the face of a global leadership drought.

AGILITY IS A KEY ASPECT OF LEADERSHIP DIRECTLY RELATED TO DEFERENCE “The ability to bob and weave so to speak with the movement of markets, manpower and manufacturing is a required skill of leaders. A great business plan is a well crafted game plan for sales strategy, marketing tactics, and hiring goals. Even the best prepared business plan is still subject to the Mike Tyson philosophy, ‘Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.’ Agility is the ability to change ones mind, change ones plan and change ones course when new or better information is presented convincingly. The arrogant, narcissistic leader will struggle with this level of self awareness.” Watch the video 5-15-24: Follow on Spotify - https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/j-loren-norris ______________________________ Leading Leaders Podcast is a short but impactful leadership video, blog and podcast distributed 5 days a week by J Loren Norris to promote faith, family and freedom in the face of a global leadership drought.

THINKING AND ACTING SYSTEMICALLY IS LEADERSHIP NOT MANAGEMENT “ What is the difference between systematically and systemically? In simplest terms, something described as systematic uses or follows a system, while something described as systemic is part of, or is embedded in, the system itself.(per Google) In other words, management is the application of systematic processes of thinking, controlling and conducting business. Leadership is influencing the system itself, specifically the system of people, their thoughts, behaviors, values and worldviews. Leadership must be systemic, effecting the entire system, culture and character of the organization itself. Like a virus’s, diseases or altered DNA, every portion of this system is impacted or infected by the presence of leadership for better or for worse. Be better.” Watch the video 5-14-24: Follow on Spotify - https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/j-loren-norris ______________________________ Leading Leaders Podcast is a short but impactful leadership video, blog and podcast distributed 5 days a week by J Loren Norris to promote faith, family and freedom in the face of a global leadership drought.

LEADERS WHO LACK SELF AWARENESS ARE LIKE RELATIONAL WRECKING BALLS “No one wants to believe they are selfish, self centered, self focused. We all know that one leader who simply does not see the challenges and struggles they create for others in their sphere of influence. When a leader is unable to see or acknowledge their own flaws, they become problematic, yet look for everyone else to change to solve the problem. Self awareness is the key. Invite feedback from qualified people. Listen to the familiar criticisms and measure the value of their merit. Ask questions, consider the feelings of others and measure those against the bottom line. In short, being a better leader means first being a better human.” Watch the video 5-8-24: Follow on Spotify - https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/j-loren-norris ______________________________ Leading Leaders Podcast is a short but impactful leadership video, blog and podcast distributed 5 days a week by J Loren Norris to promote faith, family and freedom in the face of a global leadership drought.
