In this episode of The Thinking Leader, Bryce Hoffman and Marcus Dimbleby talk with Craig Dowden Ph. D., a thought leader, keynote speaker, and best-selling author.   They discuss the importance of a leader mastering their ‘self’ before they master their business.

You simply cannot lead through ego alone in the modern world.   They also talk about the value of mentors and coaches, and how the best CEOs lead with empathy and humility. Showing vulnerability as a leader develops trust and honesty with your employees, and by taking a step back you can enable your team to function optimally and enthusiastically.

In this episode of The Thinking Leader, Bryce Hoffman and Marcus Dimbleby talk about the Battle of Gettysburg and the power of letting your front line workers think for themselves.   At the Battle of Gettysburg, Col. Joshua Chamberlain held the last line of defense against the Confederates before Washington DC by considering the intent of his orders rather than following the direct wording. By empowering your frontline workers to think for themselves, your business will see much better results.   Companies such as Toyota and Wholefoods have enabled their employees to make decisions in the best interest of the business. Allowing workers to make important decisions causes the wellbeing of the business to be everyone’s responsibility, which builds a cooperative workplace and ultimately makes your employees feel valued.   In this episode: What the Battle of Gettysburg teaches us about empowering your workforce Why it is important for your workers to understand the intent of instructions How to empower your frontline employees to do the right thing Why your front line workers are best placed to spot serious problems How to run meetings to get the best out of your employees     Sign up to the Red Team Thinking Community - Use the coupon code THINKINGLEADER for a free 30-day trial: https://community.redteamthinking.com/checkout/general-membership    Want to find out if you’re a Red Team Thinker?

In this episode of The Thinking Leader, Bryce Hoffman and Marcus Dimbleby talk about satisficing and how it damages businesses.   Satisficing is the act of being satisfied with the first sufficient solution to a problem. Being satisficed with the first solution is rarely the best solution and often deals with the symptoms of an issue rather than the root cause.    They discuss the dangers of always being busy and why being a brilliant firefighter doesn’t result in a brilliant business. The idea that modern workers always need to be busy means decision makers don’t have time to consider all their options. Having time to consider your options and tackle problems correctly leads to a healthier and more successful business in the long-term.   In this episode: What is satisficing How satisficing can be the difference between a failing company and a successful one Why being brilliant at fighting fires isn’t a brilliant sign for your business The value of not being busy     Sign up to the Red Team Thinking Community - Use the coupon code THINKINGLEADER for a free 30-day trial: https://community.redteamthinking.com/checkout/general-membership    Want to find out if you’re a Red Team Thinker?
