The Remarkable Leadership Podcast

In this episode, I am talking about the power of empathy. But in order to understand the power, we need to know the definition. EMPATHY: The action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another. Empathy is so important to our role as leaders. And here are five reasons that empathy matters. Tweet it out: The best leaders are empathetic – they understand and care about how their team members are doing and what they are feeling. @KevinEikenberry From This Episode: Learn more and sign up for our Remote Work Newsletter.

We all have the potential; the potential to be remarkable or to use our powers for evil. Research shows that we are influenced by those around us. So, it's up to leaders to create the environment to build integrity. Kevin sits down with Rob Chesnut, former federal prosecutor, former General Counsel and most recently the Chief Ethics Officer of Airbnb, Inc. He is also the author of Intentional Integrity: How Smart Companies Can Lead an Ethical Revolution. Data shows that trust is at an all-time low. This is huge because we have a lot of problems to solve and we need to do it together. Rob believes if your actions are consistent with your values, you will have a competitive advantage. Integrity not only resonates with your team; it resonates with consumers. This episode is brought to you by… 13 Days to Remarkable Leadership, a free leadership video series based on Kevin's book, Remarkable Leadership.

I meet with a lot of leaders who are frustrated with people on their team who are not doing something at all or who aren't doing something in a certain way. And in order to address this concern, there is one question that they can ask to determine WHY this is: Is it will or skill? In today's episode, we are going to talk about the very important distinction between these two and why it matters to your results. Tweet it out: If someone isn't doing what you need or expect – ask yourself – is it a lack of will or skill? @KevinEikenberry From This Episode: Listen to and subscribe to our Remarkable Leadership Podcast.

The topic of today's episode would have been nearly unthinkable six months ago…and yet, here we are, talking about masks and how contentious they have become. I have a problem with masks, and it's not what you think. It's not political and it's not scientific. Check out this episode and tell me if you agree in the comments below. Tweet it out: Remember that when you are wearing your mask people can't see you smile. Make sure you DO smile, and smile with your eyes! @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.

What are the traits of a go-to person? You know, the person who gets the job done. Most likely, we all want to be a person who is reliable and great to work with. Bruce Tulgan cautions us though not to confuse go-to with a yes man. Bruce's latest book is THE ART OF BEING INDISPENSABLE WORK: Win Influence, Beat Overcommitment, and Get the Right Things Done. Kevin and Bruce discuss the importance of showing up and being valuable. When we play the long game and show others how we can help, they will want to reciprocate and help us. However, don't get caught always saying yes. There are other options to serve needs and provide value. You don't want to be remembered for the "yes" you didn't deliver.

If you're like me, you went to school for a long time. And 13 or more years will teach you that knowledge is what "wins" the game of school. So if knowledge is a good thing (and it is!), where's the danger? Tweet it out: Make your goal to know more, not to know it all – because you can't anyway. @KevinEikenberry From This Episode: Sign up to receive an email notification each time we release a new episode of Remarkable TV here.

Most of us would agree that a component of leadership is making other people better. Frances Frei believes that to have progress, we need to have trust. Frances is the co-author, with Anne Morris, of Unleashed: The Unapologetic Leader's Guide to Empowering Everyone Around You. She explains to Kevin that you need to be unapologetic because you can't wait for permission when action needs to happen. It's all about trust and empowerment. Their research shows that to bring out the best in one other person, you need to set high standards AND be committed to their success. Frances shares stories about companies where the most effective leaders use a combination of trust, love, and belonging to create success in their teams.
