The Remarkable Leadership Podcast

The questions we ask determine the answers we find – and therefore the decisions we make. And in this episode, I am asking you the most important remote work question… Are you "working from home" or are you a great remote teammate?

Is it the journey, or is it the destination? The role of a leader is getting to the destination (sales, profits, product development). Walt Rakowich believes the most important part of leadership is the journey and what happens along the way. Walt is the author of TRANSFLUENCE: How to Lead with Transformative Influence in Today's Climates of Change. Walt and Kevin discuss transformative influence and Walt shares stories about his journey. There is a time and place for leaders to be vulnerable and acknowledge the details their team understands and works through daily. By overcoming fear and pride, we can empower our team and build trust. When leaders recognize they have a transformational influence on their team, they find opportunity, embrace challenges, and make their organizations and communities greater than ever. This episode is brought to you by… 13 Days to Remarkable Leadership, a free leadership video series based on Kevin's book, Remarkable Leadership.

One of my all-time favorite Musicals is Fiddler on the Roof, and one of the famous songs from it is Sunrise, Sunset. Here are part of the lyrics: Sunrise, sunset Sunrise, sunset Swiftly fly the years One season following another Laden with happiness and tears The song talks about how our lives are flying by and the older I get, the truer this is. And while each day is still about sunrise, sunset – a daily rhythm – and life is an accumulation of days, I have an important question for you: How do you start and end your days?

Remote work isn't new. Technology has allowed organizations to have offices not only on different coasts but in different countries. We have started to work across time zones and cultures. In 2018, Kevin Eikenberry and Wayne Turmel published the Long-Distance Leader and reminded leaders the principles didn't change, just the location. In March of 2019, there was a huge shift to remote work; much of it unplanned. They found there was a difference between working from home and being a productive remote teammate. Wayne, co-founder of the Remote Leadership Institute, joins Kevin to discuss their latest book, The Long-Distance Teammate: Stay Engaged and Connected While Working Anywhere. There is a difference between being just a team member and a teammate. We need to be more intentional to create connections and take responsibility for our growth. Wayne shares ideas for leaders and discusses some of the challenges we may see in 2021. We are not going back to the way things were.

Can we? Should we? Both questions are important and the difference between the two is just one small word. But that small word makes a significant difference in how you answer the question. In this episode, I'm helping you to think about this distinction with a few thoughts and maybe a couple of other questions. Tweet it out: Can you do something vs. should you do that thing. Likely you'll be better served to ask both questions before you decide. @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.

Do you feel like a fraud? Are you waiting for your team to question why you are leading them? If it makes you feel better, you aren't alone. In fact, studies show that 70% of people feel like an imposter at some point in their professional careers. Rita Clifton shares that none of us know everything. She is the author of Love Your Imposter: Be Your Best Self, Flaws and All. Rita and Kevin discuss the imposter syndrome and how you can acknowledge your fear (versus hiding from it) to make you better. Rita also debunks the myth 'fake it until you make it'. When we share our vulnerabilities, we help others grow, making your team more successful. This episode is brought to you by… Unleashing Your Remarkable Potential, Kevin's free weekly e-newsletter.

I grew up on a farm, so we spread a lot of things. But today we are talking about what we are spreading as leaders. Because our words, our attitudes and our energy are all contagious. And it's important that we're spreading the right thing. Tweet it out: Your words, attitude and energy are contagious.

We all want to be life-long or continual learners, but just saying that isn't enough. The only sustainable way to accomplish this is to be learning every day. In this episode, I'm sharing three simple ways to help incorporate more learning in your life. From This Episode: Learn more about and listen to the Remarkable Leadership Podcast here.

We can use the past to think about leading today and the future. The means may be different (hello social media), yet the principles are similar. Jan-Benedict Steenkamp is Massey Distinguished Professor of Marketing at the University of North Carolina and author. His latest book is Time to Lead: Lessons for Today's Leaders from Bold Decisions That Changed History. JB looks at leadership through a historical and marketing lens. After all, aren't leaders trying to brand themselves as someone to follow? JB and Kevin discuss some of history's most decisive leaders and events and ties it to today's leadership methods. JB also shares seven leadership styles. There is no one right leadership style, as history shows all can be successful. However, you cannot be a good leader if you are not authentic.
