It is important to understand what drives you to get out of bed in the morning. It is just as important to understand the motivation of your team. Christopher Coultas, along with his team at Leadership Worth Following, is the author of Driven Not Drained: Discover Your Path to Career Happiness, Effectiveness, and Influence. Chris shares the six components of the DriV model, which was designed to understand the why behind the what. With each component, there are competing priorities. For example, if you score high in productivity, you get your energy by doing things. This can become an issue as you move up the corporate ladder and find that you are delegating more tasks. Chris suggests understanding your drivers and drainers can help you find greater satisfaction in your job. Knowing what drives and drains your team can lead to more productivity and a better bottom line. In this episode, Kevin and Chris discuss: Driven vs. drained. Drained vs. burnout. The DriV model. Team culture and drivers. This episode is brought to you by… Unleashing Your Remarkable Potential, Kevin’s free weekly e-newsletter. It’s full of articles and resources to help you become a more confident and successful leader.

What is the culture of your organization? It’s a fair question and can be puzzling. We attribute an unengaged workforce or misalignment of values to the culture. Yet, we seem to fall short of building the culture we want. Mario Moussa and Derek Newberry are the authors of The Culture Puzzle: Harnessing the Forces That Drive Your Organization’s Success. They share with Kevin that, too often, we think of culture as an afterthought. We share our vision, build the team, and then create the culture. However, culture happens when you put the people together. Culture is about the stories. Culture is dynamic and fluid and can change overnight (just think back to March 2020). They share the four forces that drive culture: vision, interest, habit, and innovation. They also recognize that anyone can influence culture. In this episode, Mario and Derek discuss Anthropology and organizational culture. Misconceptions about culture. 4 forces that drive culture. Thoughts about culture in a post pandemic world. This episode is brought to you by… From Manager to Remarkable Leader, Kevin’s Flagship workshop based on his proven leadership model.

Are you exhausted? Maybe you are feeling a bit cynical? These can be signs of burnout. Paula Davis defines burnout as the manifestation over time of chronic workplace stress. Paula is the author of BEATING BURNOUT AT WORK: Why Teams Hold the Secret to Well-Being and Resilience. She tells Kevin that pre-pandemic, we were suffering high levels of burnout and, it has only accelerated during the pandemic. Although we typically associate burnout at the individual level, Davis suggests that this is an organizational issue. Leaders first need to recognize their role in causing or preventing burnout. You can influence change at the team level, where leaders can do small things that create a culture of well-being. In this episode, Paula: Differentiates burnout vs. stress. Shares why team are the secret. Talks about how to diagnose burnout. This episode is brought to you by… Unleashing Your Remarkable Potential, Kevin’s free weekly e-newsletter.

I’m willing to bet that every day, we spend some amount of time waiting. Waiting on hold. Waiting on our food order. Waiting for our kids to get off the bus. Waiting, waiting, waiting. And I recently observed a group of people who were waiting for quite a long time. In this episode, I’ll share some valuable leadership lessons that I learned from this waiting. Tweet it out: Don’t while away all your waiting time on your phone. Do something conscious and intentional with your most valuable resource – your time. @KevinEikenberry In this episode: We are hosting our second annual, FREE leadership event, Virtual LeaderCon, this coming September.
