The Remarkable Leadership Podcast

Our subconscious minds are extremely powerful and when we build routines and habits, it allows us to capitalize on this part of our brain. In this episode, I will show you six incredible benefits we get when we flex our subconscious with routines and habits. Tweet it out: Recognize the value and power of your routines – the right ones can change your life for the better. @KevinEikenberry From This Episode: Sign up to receive an email notification each time we release a new episode of Remarkable TV here.

Thirty years ago, we were introduced to The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. And my guess is most of us have read the book, or at least been exposed to one (or more) of the habits; Think Win/Win. Kevin sits down with Sean Covey, son of Stephen, to discuss the anniversary edition and what makes it unique. Sean is a New York Times bestselling author (The 4 Disciplines of Execution, The 6 Most Important Decisions You’ll Ever Make, The 7 Habits of Happy Kids, The Leader in Me, and The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens) and president of FranklinCovey Education. Sean builds upon the principle-centered approach for solving problems, whether they are personal or professional. He shares anecdotes and takeaways on how the habits have remained unchanged and how we can use them today.

When you work on your own personal development does it just benefit you? Not at all. In fact, everybody wins when you take the time to work on your development. The organization. The team. Your boss. And of course, you. So, the next question is, who is responsible for your development? Tweet it out: Hopefully you work for an organization that invest in you. Whether they do or don’t your development still belongs to you. @KevinEikenberry From This Episode: Start your Monday off positively with my weekly e-newsletter, Unleashing Your Remarkable Potential.

Are you waiting for development opportunities, or are you being intentional in creating opportunities? Dave McKeown suggests that leaders with the most impact push for growth. Dave is a leadership consultant and the author of The Self-Evolved Leader: Elevate Your Focus and Develop Your People in a World That Refuses to Slow Down. He joins Kevin to discuss what it means to be a self-evolved leader. It’s not about saving the day and getting it all done. Leaders understand their strengths and weaknesses (and use both). Further, they look to elevate focus, share stories and provide context for alignment, and develop people. In this episode, Dave discusses: Characteristics of a self-evolved leader. The cycle of mediocrity. Micro disciplines. This episode is brought to you by… From Manager to Remarkable Leader, Kevin’s Flagship workshop based on his proven leadership model.

Do you remember the TV show “Password”? If you don’t know it, you can check it out here. In the game, two teams attempted to win by conveying mystery words to each other using only single-word clues. The word to be conveyed (the “password”) was given to one player on each team and was whispered softly to the audience. So today, I am whispering a word that I want you to be careful with. The word is: Safe Now let me be clear: I want you, your families, your teams, your customers, and everyone to be physically healthy. I am not making a political statement, a comment about mask wearing, social/physical distancing, or anything like that. But I also want you, your families, your teams, your customers, and everyone to be mentally and psychologically healthy too. And that’s where I think we have to be a bit careful with the word safe. Listen to the Remarkable TV episode to find out more about what I mean when I ask you to be careful with this word. Tweet it out: When we tell people to be safe – we want them to be healthy and protected, but we might be encouraging them to be overly careful or wary. How about encouraging people to be well instead? @KevinEikenberry From This Episode: If you’d like to receive my daily email and get a short, inspiring message each day, you can learn more and sign up here.

Where is your growth coming from? Keith Ferrazzi suggests you don’t need a title, an office, or even a physical workspace to make a difference. However, you need to have a vision and get people behind that vision. Keith is the co-author, with Noel Weyrich, of Leading Without Authority: How the New Power of Co-Elevation Can Break Down Silos, Transform Teams, and Reinvent Collaboration. Keith and Kevin discuss control, authority, and empowerment. Your organizations and teams suffer when we are fighting for resources. To be successful, you need to create an environment where the team lifts each other; co-elevation. And yes, this does take work. However, results come when you stay committed to the mission and committed to the people. This episode is brought to you by… Unleashing Your Remarkable Potential, Kevin’s free weekly e-newsletter.

When you look into your crystal ball, what does the future of work look like? On a good day, that is a difficult question. How we think about work, leadership, and our organizations have changed more in the past six months than in decades. Jacob Morgan is joining Kevin for a second time to discuss trends impacting the future of leadership and the mindsets and skills future leaders will need to have. Jacob is a trained futurist and wants to help leaders succeed. Through interviews and surveys, he wanted to know how and why leadership is changing, how ready are leaders today for these changes, and what leaders need to do now. He shares the results and take-aways in his latest book, The Future Leader: 9 Skills and Mindsets to Succeed in the Next Decade. This episode is brought to you by… 13 Days to Remarkable Leadership, a free leadership video series based on Kevin’s book, Remarkable Leadership.

You’ve likely heard of the Law of Attraction. In short, the basic idea is that our thoughts turn into things eventually. The idea is that we are like human magnets – always attracting something. Not everyone agrees with this principle and the principle often leaves out an important part – the fact that thinking alone, while an important part of the attraction process, leaves out the harder part – action and work. This short episode isn’t meant to leave out the action part, but rather to illuminate the first part – either to remind or influence or encourage you. Tweet it out: The law of attraction is real – get your thoughts right, and couple it with action – and you will change your circumstances and results. @KevinEikenberry From This Episode: Sign up to receive emails when we release a new Remarkable TV episode here.

Do you ask for ideas? Not just give permission to share ideas, but really invite new ideas. When Karin Hurt and David Dye worked with organizations, they noticed a pattern. Management thought their teams were not speaking up, and employees felt their ideas were not heard. This is all about culture. Karin and David join Kevin to discuss this pattern and their research leading to their latest book, Courageous Cultures: How to Build Teams of Micro-Innovators, Problem Solvers, and Customer Advocates. They found that across industries and countries, people hold on to negative experiences. So, leaders not only need to create a culture of trust, but they need to be clear of what ideas they want and how those ideas lead to organizational success.

When we give feedback, it is with the hope that the person on the receiving end will take action on that feedback. But giving feedback isn’t a one-and-done action. It’s a journey that has many steps along the way. So before we (or should I say ‘they’) get to action, we must realize the emotions they will go through after hearing the feedback. Once you understand the emotions, there are four steps you can take to help others apply your feedback. Tweet it out: Effective feedback isn’t a hit and run – it is a journey. If you want to get to the destination you have to travel with the other person. @KevinEikenberry From This Episode: You can view all of the videos in this series here on our YouTube channel.
