The Leadersmith Podcast [Leadership]

In this episode, I discuss a number of valuable concepts that help you make sound decisions. These are economic principles I discussed in my textbook. I cover the Pareto principle (80/20 rule), Metcalfe’s law, Parkinson’s law (e.g., the First Law of Bureaucracy), rational ignorance, bounded rationality, satisficing, and the law of unintended consequences.If you enjoyed this episode, please consider subscribing and tell others who might benefit from this podcast.

Organizational change is a predictable process. In this episode, I talk about the change process. I provide an overview of John Kotter’s 8-step change process. Kotter is a Harvard professor and I use his books in both my undergrad and my graduate classes. This is the most practical guide to the change process. When change efforts fail, it is also predictable, and it is likely the result of skipping the first step. If you will ever be involved in a change effort, you do not want to miss this episode.

Networking is fundamental to success in business, but many people avoid networking. It feels slimy—like you are using people for your purposes. Networking events can feel artificial, and they make people feel uncomfortable. But networking can be one of the most kind and genuinely human activities you engage in in business. It can simultaneously provide rocket-fuel to your success. In this episode, I will teach you how to network.

It is thanksgiving. Millions of Americans are traveling home to see their families. Governors across the states have instituted some heavy-handed mandates in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Here are the articles I mentioned: Here is the New York Times article: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/11/24/upshot/thanksgiving-dinner-survey.html Here is the NBC Affiliate article covering each state’s https://www.wsav.com/news/coronavirus/traveling-for-thanksgiving-check-out-covid-19-restrictions-by-state/ We will talk about the restrictions, but as importantly, we will talk about leadership and how leaders could more effectively navigate during these difficult times.

In this episode, I welcome Jim Cain back to the program. Jim was on the program discussing Earnest Shackleton in Episode 111. Jim is a trainer who travels to organizations to teach team-building Now imagine that you were a trainer. You conduct corporate and outdoor trainings (e.g., think ropes courses). COVID-19 hits and your entire business shuts down because you cannot interact with people in person. How would you translate these activities to virtual training? Jim will tell you how he has successfully navigated 2020.

In this episode, we consider how the first truly virtual holiday season will be different from days gone by. As we gather in smaller groups, connect with loved ones on Zoom, and forgo larger crowds on Black Friday, what effect will it have on retailers who depend on holiday sales? How will business be different? How must you adjust? I discuss the article How A Zoom Thanksgiving Celebration Will Impact Black Friday, written by Blake Morgan in Forbes. You can find it here: https://www.forbes.com/sites/blakemorgan/2020/11/19/how-a-zoom-thanksgiving-celebration-will-impact-black-friday/?sh=3ee1fb841e77 If you enjoyed this episode, please consider subscribing and tell others who might benefit from this podcast.

Earnest Shackleton was a polar explorer. He intended to transverse the South Pole in 1914, but when his wooden ship was crushed by ice, his only mission was to save his men. In this episode I speak with Team Trainer and Shackleton Expert, Jim Cain. Jim runs a training based on Shackleton’s experience.

Each Twitter Tuesday, I discuss a handful of quotes about leadership and unpack them. I pre-select useful quotes; I do not just read my twitter feed—and I will give credit to the author of the quote, the person who posted, or both where possible. Last week, I reviewed the best leadership advice that people provided in the leadership community on Facebook. This week, I picked up where I left off because the comments were just so good. https://www.facebook.com/groups/learnleadership/ If you enjoyed this episode, please consider subscribing and tell others who might benefit from this podcast.

I recently began a new segment entitled Notable Quotables. I review the best quotes of one particular leader and I unpack the very best of what that leader has to say (99% lean beef; 1% fat). The first episode covered leadership quotes by Jim Rohn. If you are unfamiliar with Jim Rohn, he is the father of the self-help motivational speaker circuit. Tony Robbins, Jack Canfield, and Darren Hardy all attribute a good deal of their success to Jim Rohn. Rohn passed away in 2009. In the episode, I talked with an old friend who is as close to a Jim Rohn expert as anyone out there. I brought him back to talk about Rohn’s primary topic—success. It is a great conversation. It is a very profitable conversation. It will change the way you think about being successful.
