The Remarkable Leadership Podcast

Have you ever been disappointed? Frustrated? Maybe even annoyed? And then maybe you said (rather cynically), “Well, what did you expect?” It’s probably unlikely that there are many of us who can say we haven’t asked this question once or twice in our lives… So in today’s episode, I’m sharing a much more valuable and productive question that you can be asking.

A few months ago, I was fortunate enough to record a video course with some great people at LinkedIn Learning. And while the process that I go through each week here on Remarkable TV has grown and improved significantly over the years, my time at LinkedIn Learning was quite different. For one, it was a truly professional studio and I had an actual Producer who was with me throughout the process. And my Producer had three little words that she repeated many times throughout the day that entirely changed my outlook, my mindset and ultimately my results. These three words were small but can have significant impact on you and your team.

John Rossman is a former Amazon executive, who launched and scaled the Marketplace business, which now accounts for more than 50 percent of all units sold at Amazon.com. In his current role, he is often asked “How did Amazon do this?” or “Why did Amazon do it this way?” As such he decided to write, Think Like Amazon: 50 ½ Ideas to Become a Digital Leader. John and Kevin discuss the book and he draws upon his experience at Amazon to show you how you can think differently about business and leadership to move your organization forward. John expands on a few ideas in the book, including the fact that the question is just as, if not more important, than the solution.

Every day, more leaders are becoming remote leaders – whether it was intentional and planned or simply a fact of circumstance where they started working one day a work from home which lead to another which lead to another… The question isn’t whether this is happening or not, it’s what are we doing to prepare these leaders? Leading remotely is different and when we take the time to prepare ourselves and our remote leaders, we will all be more successful.

Kevin Kruse really didn’t think much about leadership in his business ventures until he realized his failures were a result of not thinking about leadership. Kevin is the author of Great Leaders Have No Rules: Contrarian Leadership Principles to Transform Your Team and Business and serves as Founder & CEO of LEADx, an online learning platform that provides free leadership development. He sits down with Kevin to discuss some of the leadership lessons we’ve been taught and how they work against us. Kevin looks at rules, feedback and transparency and how they work in relationships and building your best team. In this episode, Kevin looks at some contrarian leadership principles like 1. No rules. 2. No Smartphones. 3. Crowd your calendar.    

I'm talking about criticism, and the role it plays (or doesn't) for us as leaders and coaches. To register for our free master class Video series The Journey to Remarkable Leadership, go to: http://KevinEikenberry.com/way
