Leading Leaders Podcast with J Loren Norris

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. Leaders must lead with integrity and clear intent not manipulation.” Watch the video 5-29-24: 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.

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. This video will create a framework of six windows to shift your perspective and refocus your view through the lens of storypower.” Watch the video 5-24-24: 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.

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. It is a war fought in every plane of society from kindergarten through internal corporate politics and foreign relations. It is scandalous. It is horrendous. It is subtle. It must be called out.

6 STORIES EVERY LEADER NEEDS TO CRAFT TO GROW THEIR BUSINESS AND INFLUENCE “Stories serve a purpose beyond engaging entertainment.

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.

COMMUNICATION IS THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF GREAT LEADERSHIP George Bernard Shaw said: “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place”. I find that all levels of leadership hinge on the ability to transfer ideas, transforms behaviors and transmute productivity and none of these happen without effective communication. Too many people have a false sense of security, success and competence in the area of communication. A bravado which believes talking is easy for me, therefore I must be good at it. An introvert may feel completely petrified causing them to be more selective with what they say, when they say it and how they say it. The result is often, not always, their cautious intent produces significantly more clear communication.” Watch the video 5-7-24: 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.

INFLUENCE - BUILDING IT AND WIELDING IT “It amazes me what passes for influence in this generation. Even the label influencer has been hijacked for use in a purely commercially measurable way. Looking back on my life, some of my greatest influencers were known by less than a couple dozen people. Some of the influencers in my life are of world acclaim, both historical and present. Yet it would seem that they were mostly determined to bring about social and personal transformation. Notoriety was the end result not the predetermined goal. Building commercially viable influence is formulaic. You can literally pay to become a ‘best selling author’ or top celebrity. This influence buying service is a cottage industry on its own. It is just as easy to gain 15 minutes of fame and notoriety through criminal behavior. Its is also very popular to peddle influence in halls of political power. What you do to wield that influence after acquiring it is the real test of character and authority.” Watch the video 4-30-24: 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.

6 KEY SKILLS OF EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP IN 2024 “Leadership requires many facets of competency and skill. Much of the nature of a leader is personality, character and integrity meaning it’s the inner person, the who that you are. Much of the role of a leader requires skills which must be developed, honed and regularly sharpened. John C Maxwell’s #1 Bestselling Book of all time on Leadership, touts 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. His is not the only book on leadership, obviously.

STRATEGY IN THE HAND OF A LEADER BECOMES PROVABLE PRODUCTIVE ACTION “The chain of custody for WHY AND HOW WE DO WHAT WE DO looks like this: Vision > Mission > Strategy > Tactics > Goals > Objectives > Assignments > Tasks > Actions Taken > Performance Review. Managers consider and over see systems, processes and tools to ensure each level of this progression remains in tact and functioning smoothly. Leaders are responsible for the people, the motivations, intrinsic and extrinsic, the execution and the follow up. Leaders must align the quality of action taken with the expectation of goals established as measured by the movement toward defined vision. In the end, everyday decisions seem small and irrelevant until they prove counter productive to the stated mission. That’s when menial tasks are recognized for the futility they are and not the essential functions they were meant to accomplish.” Watch the video 4-26-24: 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.

HOW DOES A LEADER BUILD COMMITMENT IN A TEAM? “Loyalty in many circles is a thing of the past. There once was an expectation of working from apprentice to pension in one company or at least in one industry. The idea of living in the same house until it was paid off and the kids had gone off to college was also the norm. Having the same spouse, same friends, same social circle, that’s just the way things were. Then came the notion of upward mobility, gentrification, redistribution, redlining, and then social contagions altered the expectations of the masses through media manipulation and government policies both locally and nationally - now globally. In a nutshell, selfish ambition and personal immediate gratification have replaced longevity and loyalty. It seems gone are the days of COMMITMENT except to self. So leaders, let’s start there… watch the video and tell me your thoughts.” Watch the video 4-25-24: 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.

HOW TO LEAD INCLUSIVELY - IS IT A TRICK QUESTION? “It is an observation as a leader that humans are emotive creatures. Humans desire affirmation, appreciation and acknowledgment. Leaders who practice these things, inherently practice what would truly fit the definition of inclusivity. The idea that leaders must look for anomalies, uniqueness of characters, outliers in thought or behavior to offer specific, additional attention and affirmation strikes me as detour from the simplest of good character traits. Treat EVERYONE the way you want to be treated.

LEADERS MUST STEWARD CLARITY IN TIMES OF UNCERTAINTY “Lack of clarity leads to a lack of motivation, lack of inspiration, lack of direction and a lack of team cohesion. When a leader is unclear on the vision of an organization (whether unclear as to what it is or simply unclear in expressing it) the established goals to achieve the vision will be equally unclear. Unclear goals, undefinable goals are unachievable goals. In times of ambiguity and uncertainty outside the organization, a team will be strongest when the leader gains and articulates clarity for the team. This includes vision, mission, goals, assignments, future direction, outcomes, values and operating principles. Take time to clear your thoughts, exercise your expressions and define terms everyone can understand.” J Loren Norris LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT SERIES Watch the video 4-23-24: ⁠ FREE STORYPOWER LESSON https://j-loren-s-school.thinkific.com/pages/free-lesson-offer Follow on Spotify - https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/j-loren-norris Book A Call with Loren: https://www.jotform.com/form/230026062279046 ______________________________ 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 MAINTAIN RESILIENCE IN THE FACE OF COMPLEX PROBLEMS BECAUSE THEY DO HARD THINGS “Leaders who tackle complex issues in business, relationships and their own personal growth must learn to become and remain resilient. The most important skill one must master as a resilient leader is the willingness and discipline to DO HARD THINGS. Make hard choices, take hard risks, build hardened attitudes, reinforce and stand firm on core values… now that’s hard. True success is much like investing in this way. Short term gains tend to fade, long term gains require short term sacrifice.” J Loren Norris LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT SERIES Watch the video 4-22-24: ⁠ FREE STORYPOWER LESSON https://j-loren-s-school.thinkific.com/pages/free-lesson-offer Follow on Spotify - https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/j-loren-norris Book A Call with Loren: https://www.jotform.com/form/230026062279046 ______________________________ 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.

HOW LEADERS CREATE GENUINE CONNECTIONS “Building relationships requires commitment, intentionality and a great deal of compassion. Leaders who try to manage and manipulate the outcomes of every relationship for their own gain will find themselves very lonely at the top. Leaders who learn to nurture, encourage, promote and support those around them will become magnetic in their ever growing spheres of influence. Service leads to access - access to relationship - relationship to opportunity. If those get out of order of priority leadership can become a disaster.” J Loren Norris LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT SERIES Watch the video 4-19-24: ⁠ FREE STORYPOWER LESSON https://j-loren-s-school.thinkific.com/pages/free-lesson-offer Follow on Spotify - https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/j-loren-norris Book A Call with Loren: https://www.jotform.com/form/230026062279046 ______________________________ 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.

HOW TO LEAD FROM THE MIDDLE “The way to the top as a leader can be a veritable mine field. One wrong move, one unacceptable comment, one failed relationship and you’re cancelled. The ability to be promoted, advanced, recognized or even accepted could come to an abrupt halt. In many large companies and institutions the culture has become simply toxic. There are programs, departments, alphabet initiatives to level the playing field and yet navigating ‘the playing field’ is much more like roller blading on a tilt-a-whirl, unstable and unpredictable. Leading from the middle requires a new skill set along with massive amounts of effort and intentionality.” LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT SERIES Watch the video 4-18-24: ⁠ FREE STORYPOWER LESSON https://j-loren-s-school.thinkific.com/pages/free-lesson-offer Follow on Spotify - https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/j-loren-norris Book A Call with Loren: https://www.jotform.com/form/230026062279046 ______________________________ 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.

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT SERIES - BRINGING OUT THE BEST IN YOUR TEAM “IMHO - As well as my 35 plus years of leadership in varying capacities there is one tool for leadership development which goes largely under utilized. When deployed, this tool raises morale, inspires action, motivates teams and incentivizes productive attitudes leading to productive behaviors. If you want to know what this one tool is… watch the video.” Watch the video 4-17-24: ⁠ FREE STORYPOWER LESSON https://j-loren-s-school.thinkific.com/pages/free-lesson-offer Follow on Spotify - https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/j-loren-norris Book A Call with Loren: https://www.jotform.com/form/230026062279046 ______________________________ 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 GUARD THEIR WORDS AS DILIGENTLY AS THEIR INNER CIRCLE “The value of a re-quotable quote is exponential in the economy of marketing. Quotes, sound bites, memorable ideas are like social media memes, easy to recall, recount and regurgitate. The more a leader is quoted, the more social clout they may garner. The more social clout, the greater the influence (as measure by attention and volume). However, the crowd will have one of three reactions to your crafty quotes and sound bites. Hearers will quote them often, misquote them intentionally, or build their life around them as absolute truth - even when the leader’s intent was nothing more than a humorous quip. Leader, guard your quips like you guard your friends both will determine your future.” Watch the video 4-16-24: ⁠https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/j-loren-norris/episodes/Special-Edition-Leadership-Interview-with-STRESS--BURNOUT-COACH-Anna-Zschuppe-e2ie48d⁠ FREE STORYPOWER LESSON https://j-loren-s-school.thinkific.com/pages/free-lesson-offer Follow on Spotify - https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/j-loren-norris Book A Call with Loren: https://www.jotform.com/form/230026062279046 ______________________________ 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.
