Leadership is hard and sometimes there is an illusion of success. The numbers look good on paper, and we don’t consider the human capital. Michelle Reines joins Kevin to share her leadership journey, both the good and the bad, and discuss the leadership lessons she learned along the way. Key Points Michelle shares the importance of trust with our teams. If they don’t feel safe, they won’t share their performance gaps. Leaders need to find peers/mentors to support them-you can’t vent to your team. You need to get the help you need to support your team. Leaders need to be responsible for how they communicate both good and bad news. Your team is your first customer. Meet Michelle Name: Michelle Reines His Story: Author From Bad to Bad-Ass Leader – 12 Leadership Lessons. Michelle is the founder of MDR Coaching & Consulting, Inc., and creator of the unconventional Badass Leader brand. Company: MDR Coaching & Consulting, Inc.

She very quickly learned to appreciate the profound impact an unconscious leader has on people, teams, and organizational health and performance.

Experience might not be something that you usually associate with “danger”. But in this Remarkable TV episode, I’m telling a story about my car and its gas tank and how my experience got me into a little trouble with the two.

It wasn’t planned, and over the past 18 months, many of us became remote leaders and workers. Darleen DeRosa and Jim Citrin are the authors of Leading at a Distance: Practical Lessons for Virtual Success. They sit down with Kevin to discuss leadership skills that have become more important as we work remotely. They asked leaders what their biggest challenge was in this environment and the majority said it is inspiring and motivating their teams. Purpose and authenticity have been increasingly important leadership capabilities over time, but they are now more central and expected than ever. We need to be more deliberate and thoughtful with our teams and find opportunities to build trust through a screen. In this episode, Darleen and Jim share: How leaders can build trust. Things to think about when hiring virtually. Challenges for hybrid workers and hybrid teams. Quote: In a virtual world, people's discretionary effort is what determines whether they and their organizations really thrive or just kind of go along. -Jim Citrin This episode is brought to you by… Unleashing Your Remarkable Potential, Kevin’s free weekly e-newsletter.

I get asked this question a lot: How can I be more influential? And often times when I am asked this, it isn’t phrased exactly like that. It might sound more like… How can I motivate my team to do more? How can I better inspire my team? There are a lot of ways that it is stated, but the bottom line is that they are asking: how do I influence people? And I bring this up specifically because the way that the question is often phrased is part of the problem. As leaders, if we want to have greater influence, we must focus on people and not position. Check out this episode to learn more about how YOU can be more influential. Tweet it out: Everyone is influential – the key to greater success starts with understanding those you want to influence. @KevinEikenberry In this episode: Learn more about our Remarkable Master Class, Influencing Powerfully,here.

You know when you are on a good team. In fact, you feel energized and productive when you work with that team. The question becomes, can we get engagement, productivity, and happiness at work? Mike Zani believes it can and when you have a happy and engaged team, productivity goes through the roof. Mike is the author of The Science of Dream Teams: How Talent Optimization Can Drive Engagement, Productivity and Happiness. He shares with Kevin that most CEOs have a business strategy and a financial plan. However, few have a talent strategy. Yet, productivity and the bottom line are the results of our talent. Engagement begins with an intentional mission and culture. When you get your team connected to the mission and values, you get discretionary effort. In this episode, Mike breaks down the title of the book and shares his ideas on: A dream team. Talent Optimization. Engagement. Happiness.
