The Tyler Dickerhoof Show

Can leaders learn to welcome challenges? Do you have a moral and foundational anchor for your life and business? Why should leaders give more than they take from their employees? I met Steve a few years ago through the John Maxwell organization, and Steve struck me as being both mission-oriented and exceptionally altruistic. Steve serves on the board of John Maxwell’s non-profit organization, EQUIP, and it’s through Steve’s giving there that he’s become an examplar of compassionate and selfless leadership. Steve also works through his own company, Millwood Inc., to engage with and give back to the community that they are involved in, and the ripple effect of his work will be felt years from now.

Why is faking it damaging to your future success? How can constantly faking it lead to impostor syndrome and a lack of integrity in relationships? Why is it necessary for leaders to face reality? One of the greatest aspects of the podcast is meeting humble, authentic, real people. Sabrina Horn is nothing short of that. She and I discuss business, life, and the idea of authentic leadership. Sabrina explains the challenge of acting with integrity in a world that tells people to “fake it”. Her book, Make It, Don’t Fake It, turns that adage on its head, and encourages leaders to embrace humanness and to be open to the difficult aspects of reality. Thanks for listening!

How can leaders use the power of recognition to boost team and employee confidence? What are the benefits of emulating the people that you admire? Are you present in the moment while working for the future? Today, I have the pleasure of interviewing Eric Wood, a NFL alumni, retired athlete, and the current color commentator for the Buffalo Bills. We discuss Eric’s experiences in leadership; as, in the space of a day, he went from playing at the highest professional level to being told, “you’re done”. Eric has overcome a difficult transition, and ultimately made a success of it - which he and I reflect on across the episode. Thanks for listening!

What does true impact mean in business? Does your team have a direction to guide the passion? Do you have multipliers and impact players in your team? Today I am joined by the writer and researcher, Liz Wiseman. She’s the author of Multipliers, and Rookie Smarts - one of my favorites. Her latest book, Impact Players, is already a favorite here on the podcast because we are all about Impact Leaders! After reading through the first couple of chapters, I couldn’t wait to have Liz on as a guest, because her perspective on leadership is so unique. Who makes an impact, how do they make an impact, and why is making an impact so important? Liz has the answer; some people are contributors, others are Impact Players. Thanks for listening!

Do you have a firm grip on you who are as a person and a leader? Are you embodying your principles so that it permeates your leadership? Why must authenticity and honesty be centered in work environments? In this podcast episode, I speak with Thomas Williams, a former NFL linebacker. Thomas and I were introduced by Jordan Montgomery (a former IDL guest), and as is the case with people who share passions, we have an intuitive connection. We both had the opportunity of hosting a virtual leadership conference together, and following the positive feedback we got about the event, we decided to discuss the conference in a podcast - this podcast.

How does a self-confident leader create confident employees and teammates? What is the relationship between vulnerability and self-awareness in leadership? Why is encouraging the correct mindset integral to effective leadership? Today I sit down with the authors Phil White and Dr. Jim Afremow and we talk about their book, The Leader’s Mind. Their book showcases not only the authors' own unique perspective on leadership, but also the experiences and wisdom of eight other individuals. The three of us reflect on the leadership process; in particular, how a strong leader employs empathy and selflessness to push their teams forward. Thanks for listening!

Are you hiring the correct employees into your company in aid of its growth and passion? How do leaders engage authentically with their employees? Why should leaders intentionally allow and encourage spaces for growth? Leadership is hard. It’s hard, because, very often, you’re alone. Ann Hiatt recognizes this, and that’s what today’s episode is about. Ann spent a lot of time working in the tech world, a place full of bravado, and yet her book, Bet On Yourself, is strikingly sensitive. It really strikes at the idea of trusting yourself, even when you don’t necessarily know what’s going to happen next. Today she shares her lessons about empathetic leadership and building a company that is adaptive to change. Thanks for listening!
