Breaking BAD Leadership Habits

Today's episode is a discussion between Chad Kneller and I in response to a leadership talk from Craig Groeschel about HOW to break bad leadership habits.

Here are some of the high points:

The first step is to identify WHAT habits you have currently that aren't serving you well. Take the time to look at your bank account, your health and your family to help answer this question. Are you wasting time, are you procrastinating, are you avoiding confrontation... are you overcommitting yourself and burning the candle at both ends?

Good habits are hard to start because the results don't come to fruition until the future.

We will either pay the price NOW or we'll pay it LATER with interest and penalties...

You are the SUM of the 5 people you spend the most time with... some relationships need to be re-negotiated and others need to be terminated.

The more you rise in leadership, the more difficult it will be to identify and define the weaknesses in your leadership.

3 Keys to Starting New Habits That Stick!

Today's episode is a discussion in response to a leadership talk from Craig Groeschel about the three keys to starting new habits that stick.

Here are some of the high points:

You don't have to be great to start... but you need to start to become great.

Most people are trying to do BIG things that seem insurmountable.

Start with something small - 40% of the actions that you do daily are the results of your HABITS... not your decisions.

The fastest way to do big things is to consistently do small things RIGHT.

If you're doing something with your business, look at people who are having success and find small things they are doing that you can begin to implement.

What is the ONE habit you want to start this year that you can stick to?

Don't try to start TEN new habits at the same time.

If you haven't figured out your I AM statement yet, that is a fantastic first step.

It is better if your new habit is small!

Newton's first law is that an object at rest tends to stay at rest... but an object in motion tends to stay in motion!

If you want to be a disciplined leader, STOP hitting the snooze button! Make that decision and stick to it!

High Impact Habits For Successful Leaders

Today's episode is a discussion between Chad Kneller and I in response to a talk from Craig Groeschel about the high impact habits that YOU can start putting into place today to work toward becoming a successful leader!

Here are some of the high points:

Successful people do consistently what unsuccessful people do occasionally.

Being successful and being unsuccessful are easy to do or easy not to do. The simple disciplines made consistently over time will produce something significant over time!

It takes about 63 days to create a new habit if you want it to stick and actually install it! The problem is that if you STOP at any point on the journey, you'll lose momentum and have to start over.

It's not about hitting the finish line, it's about seeing how FAR you can go!

Goals don't determine success - systems are what determine success.

You don't maintain anything in life - you're either getting more healthy or you're getting less healthy! Nothing drifts UPHILL!

Focus on Personal Growth 💪

Today's episode is a conversation about why focusing on your personal growth is one of the most amazing decisions you can make to start this new year based on a message from Rory Vaden.

Here are some of the high points:

At the beginning of a new year, you have the potential to create a NEW you!

If you're not growing, you're not changing and getting better.

A growth mindset is a separator between those who experience an ordinary and mediocre life and those who grow and make the most of their life.

Personal development is constant and never ending improvement. The goal isn't to be the best... it's to always be getting better!

Our brains want to follow the PATH of LEAST resistance! Your brain isn't wired for success, it is wired for safety. Taking risks is scary, but that is why you have to constantly fight for opportunities to step out of your comfort zone.

Most people in life want to take the escalator through life rather than simply choosing to take the stairs.

One of the TOP attributes of the top 1% is that they have tremendous vision: endurance is tied to the clarity of your vision. People don't lack discipline. They lack clarity and vision for the things they want.

Leading Through Pain

Today's episode is a discussion between Chad Kneller and I in response to a talk from Craig Groeschel about leading through pain.

Here are some of the high points:

If you aren't leading through pain, it's unlikely you are actually leading people. As a leader, you carry a weight that most people don't understand.

There is almost no such thing as leadership progress without leadership pain.

There are multiple types of leadership pain... personal pain, external pain and pain that you personally have caused.

The value you bring come with the problems you solve. The experience of working through problems over time build your capacity.

Each leader gets to be a CPS... a Chief Problem Solver. One of the most important aspects of walking through a problem is simply to acknowledge the problem exists and accurately diagnosing what is truly happening.

The Genius of Leadership

Today's episode is a discussion between Chad Kneller, Martevious Young and I in response to a conversation between Jon Gordon and Erwin McManus about The Genius of Leadership.

Here are some of the high points:

You need to get rooted first... then you grow... and in time the fruit WILL show up.

Up until the last 150 years, leadership was purely authoritarian. It was simply power based and someone spoke and everyone else had to follow no matter what. Today, leadership has shifted to the power of connection and influence. People follow others who they want to be like.

SO... are you truly concerned about the people that you are desiring to have influence with? You have to help people become whole and better.

Questions people are always asking whether they say it or not:

- Do you care about me?

- Can you help me?

- Do you love me?

The leaders that can bring this out in the most people will win.

This is part of what proves why Jesus was such an incredible leader!!

Know What You Are FOR! 👀

Today's episode is a discussion between Martevious Young and I in response to a talk from Jeff Henderson about KNOWING what you are FOR!

Here are some of the high points:

Too much of the world knows exactly what they are against but have no idea what they are FOR.

Great leaders get up every day to work to be FOR their team. They don't "go" to the top but they "grow" to the top.

There are two kinds of people... there are HOW people and WOW people. 

Failure is actually just a learning opportunity that can catapult you forward. Turn your tragedy into a tradition! 

Companies used to be in the business of telling customers what they are about and what they are for... but now the customers tell the story to the world of what a company is really about. Customers can become vision carriers for the mission of your brand.

Are you delivering on what you are known for? Don't just write it down... do it!

The Power of ONE More: Part 2

Today's episode is a discussion between Chad Kneller and I in response to the second portion of a series on the Power of One More. This one was from John Maxwell and is so incredible!

Here are some of the high points:

It's inspiring to see John Maxwell continue to work as hard has he can to make a difference in the world in his mid 70's!

Don't underestimate TODAY. Will you make today count? This was a lesson that John Wooden taught John Maxwell early in his journey. It's easy to kick the can down the road and think "I'll do that later..." If we aren't careful we will WASTE the time we have been entrusted with. How will you spend today? John is passionate about helping people find their purpose and their passion SOONER to amplify the impact of their time on Earth.

We over exaggerate yesterday... over estimate tomorrow.. but we under estimate today!

Take the high road - treat people better than they treat you! How will we treat the people who aren't easy to love?

What lessons are you modeling with your life that your children and people around you are going to pick up?

If you work on your character, God will work on your reputation!

The Power of ONE More: Part 1

Today's episode is a discussion between Chad Kneller and I in response to a talk from Ed Mylett about the POWER of One more!

Here are some of the high points:

Get focused... and get momentum. If you get momentum, take advantage of it and keep taking ground!

Facts tell and stories sell.

You're always making people FEEL something. We should review after every interaction how we made that person feel.

If you're happy... tell your face!

We are all evangelists for something. If you believe what you are saying, others will be more likely to buy in as well. We must be evangelical about our goals and our dreams.

The more certain person almost always influences the less certain person. 

Everything in life happens for you and not to you.

Be aware of the need for energy in every room you are in. Influence is energy and is different all the time. You are making people feel something whether you are aware of it or not. 

Winning is more fun than fun is fun! You have to make the decision to go after the win - period.

Success... and LIFE Take Resilience

Today's episode is a discussion between Chad Kneller and I in response to a talk from Valorie Burton about how success will require resilience!

Here are some of the high points: Be willing to ask yourself this question... what do you WANT right now?! Are you burying your dream because you're afraid might not be possible. Are you writing those things down?

Create the SPACE needed to reflect and respond to whatever you are facing.

You're likely only going to be in momentum 5% to 10% of the time... will you be faithful to work and do the right things during those OTHER season when it is more of a battle?

In order to walk the path of an entrepreneur, you will face challenges that require resilience. You must learn to take charge of your emotions - allowing them to be in the car but not in the drivers seat.

PULL yourself forward... take actions that pull you forward... get around people who pull you forward!

Stop judging your current success in the context of your past successes.
