Do You Want to Be Right or Effective?

Have you ever felt unheard or not respected? Perhaps you’ve been in a political conversation where you know with every fiber of your being that what the other person is saying is completely wrong, untrue, or they’re listening to the wrong sources – and it triggers you. Then you begin to get ‘wrapped around the axle’. Perhaps there was an experience you felt could have been avoided that triggered you to react in an emotional way rather than a calm, wise one. It can be hard to stay calm, cool, and collected during a passionate or heated conversation, especially when you wholeheartedly believe that you’re right, and the other person is wrong. But, like Michael Singer said: “You don’t have to be strong, you need to be wise.” So in these moments, is it more important to be right – or to be happy and effective? In this episode, I discuss how we often fall into the trap of spinning our wheels or get ‘wrapped around the axle’ over things people say or events that happen. I discuss how arguing with events or realities often causes us to get distracted and leak energy and power. I discuss how our emotional intelligence determines how much power we leak in the office, in the boardroom, or in life overall and how our ego often plays a problematic role in these settings. I also discuss the power of taking deep breaths when things don’t go the way you think they should and the beauty of saying ‘thank you’ when receiving unwanted or unexpected feedback. “When things happen at work – the person who can get to sane faster, the person who can get to emotional maturity and emotional intelligence faster is the person who has the power in every conversation.” - Mark Silverman This week on The Rising Leader Podcast: ●     How arguing with reality and the things that happen cause us to leak energy, power, and get distracted●     How we often fall into the trap of spinning our wheels●     How having strong emotional intelligence prevents us from leaking power●     The power of calmly asking questions●     How our ego is often the root cause of most problems or arguments ●     Asking yourself: Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy and effective●     Taking deep breaths when things don’t go the way we think they should●     Saying ‘thank you’ when receiving negative feedback My Favorite Cliches on Being Right vs. Being Effective: ●     Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy?●     “When you argue with reality, you only lose 100% of the time.” - Byron Katie●     Acceptance is the key to my serenity.●     “How do we know something should have happened? Because it did.” - Byron Katie●     “You don’t have to be strong. You need to be wise.” - Michael Singer Resources Mentioned: ●     Book: Living Untethered: Beyond the Human Predicament by Michael A. Singer●     Book: Loving What Is by Byron Katie  Grab Your Copy of The Rising Leader Handbook Do you find yourself rising through your company's ranks so fast that you wish you had a manual to become an effective leader?

Who You Need to Be

 I realized I did not do my solo episode, and today is the deadline for me to upload it for the production team. When I started thinking about what the topic was going to be for today, I went through the workshop that I'm actually about to lead, and I noticed we're doing a lot of nuts-and-bolts leadership training. This is ABC's delegation of how you keep track of projects and how you keep them on track. How do you do performance improvement plans? How do you give feedback? So, we will be having all those conversations about the nuts and bolts, about leadership. I'm really excited about the parts of the workshop, the parts of my book, the parts of my videos, and everything I talk about. That's more about who you need to be a leader. For me, I steal the nuts and bolts and the mechanics of leadership from Pat Lencioni. I had Cameron Harold on my podcast, who is excellent at teaching leadership teams the nuts and bolts of keeping track of their business. “Amazing leaders who have accomplished so much have a common denominator: they run towards fire.” - Mark J. Silverman This week on The Rising Leader: ·     Leadership shifts focus from personal achievements to team successes.·     An effective leader must be grounded and centered to handle responsibilities maturely.·     Stop playing the victim; take full responsibility, even if it's not your fault.·     Learn to deliver candid feedback without overdramatizing it.·     Understand your team's personality types to improve communication.·     Leadership is about uplifting and inspiring your team to achieve their goals.·     A good leader creates an environment where strategic vision thrives.·     Effective communication is meeting people where they are and considering their motivations and fears. Resources Mentioned: Book: The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick LencioniBook: Radical Candor: Be a Kick-Ass Boss Without Losing Your Humanity by Kim Scott  Grab Your Copy of The Rising Leader Handbook Do you find yourself rising through your company's ranks so fast that you wish you had a manual to become an effective leader?

Sell Me This Pen!

You’ve probably come across the classic sales challenge: "Sell me this pen." Inspired by the movie Wolf of Wall Street, the challenge isn't about highlighting the pen's features but understanding the buyer's needs. This episode delves into this concept and its relevance to leadership, emphasizing how understanding and empathizing with your team can create better engagement and drive results. In this episode, I explore how the principle behind "Sell me this pen" translates into effective leadership. I discuss the importance of enrollment, empathy, and understanding your team's values and motivations. By shifting the focus from selling to enrolling, leaders can better align their goals with their team's aspirations, fostering a more cohesive and motivated work environment. “First instinct you should have when someone says, ‘sell me this pen’ is, ‘how long have you been in the market for a pen’?” - Mark Silverman This week on The Rising Leader Podcast: ·     The deeper meaning behind "Sell me this pen"·     Why understanding your team's motivations is crucial·     The concept of enrollment in leadership·     Building curiosity into your leadership approach·     Connecting leadership with empathy·     Using the Boss Empathy Map and Peer Empathy Map·     Practical steps to engage and understand your team·     Aligning your leadership goals with your team’s aspirations Resources Mentioned: The Rising Leader Handbook - includes the Boss Empathy Map and Peer Empathy Map  Grab Your Copy of The Rising Leader HandbookDo you find yourself rising through your company's ranks so fast that you wish you had a manual to become an effective leader?
