Welcome to this week’s episode of our Raise Your BARS podcast, I am Al Ruttan and along with Chris Baker we are delighted to be sharing some great leadership tips with you so that you can be the person you want to become. How are you doing Chris?You know what Al, I am doing great as always. I have especially enjoyed working on the recent series we just finished on Leadership lessons from Ted Lasso and I am excited to apply those lessons in our new Legacy Creators that we are announcing today!That’s right, me too! If you have been following us you will know that BARS stands for Behaviors plus Actions equals Results and Success. We know that this works because it has been developed as a result of Chris and I studying our experiences, identifying what worked, what didn’t work, and what we learned through all of this.We know that reflecting on experiences really helps and going through this exercise together added even more value. We also know that this is a simple method, but as with most things that doesn’t mean it is easy to follow. Our mission is to add value to as many people as possible so that we can change the world, and create a legacy that lives well beyond both of us.That sounds like a bold statement, and it is, but know this, we 100% and wholeheartedly mean what we say, and we will give everything we have to work alongside people who want to make a difference in their lives – and are prepared to put in the work to achieve just that!Raise Your BARS – Legacy Creators is designed for a specific group of people. We see all sorts of programs targeting minority groups, and we applaud that, so Al and I thought about who we should serve and the answer was right in front of our noses. Mark Cole and John Maxwell consistently tell us that you can’t give what you don’t have and so we determined that they group we can help, are people just like us!Yes, Men who are over 40 and are feeling stuck, not sure what they want from life. They have a lot to give but are feeling more than a little overwhelmed with life. Their kids are growing up or have already flown the nest, their careers are stalling and yet they still have 20-30 years before they retire, so what now?Al and I were both there, so we understand exactly what it feels like to be drifting – and it isn’t good. We know we can share our experiences, trials, and tribulations, so that those who join us don’t have to suffer the same. Having said that, we also realized that there was one piece missing and neither of us have the expertise to add value in this area.Health and Wellness! This is why we invited a good friend of mine, Kurtis, to join our coaching team and bring his years of experience to complete our puzzle.          We aim to help individuals and organizations to raise their bars and be on a journey of continuous improvement.

Welcome, everyone, to the final episode of our Leadership Lessons from Ted Lasso series! Today we're diving deep into the concept of Servant Leadership, inspired by the one and only Ted Lasso. In this episode, we'll explore how Ted consistently puts the needs of his team before his own, embodying the essence of servant leadership.The Power of Listening. Ted Lasso is a master at this. He listens not only to what his players say, but also to what they don't say. He pays attention to their body language and emotions. As a leader, it's crucial to create an environment where your team feels heard. Take time to actively listen to your team members. Ask open-ended questions, encourage them to share their thoughts and feelings, and make them feel valued and understood.Lesson number two is all about Empathy and Understanding. Ted Lasso doesn't just listen; he genuinely cares about his team's well-being. He understands their challenges, fears, and aspirations. This is a key aspect of servant leadership: Show genuine empathy towards your team. Understand their struggles, celebrate their successes, and be there for them during both the highs and lows.Lesson number three, Leading by Example. Ted Lasso embodies this principle every day. He sets the standard for hard work, dedication, and positivity. As a leader, you must be the role model your team needs: Demonstrate the behavior and attitude you want to see in your team. Your actions speak louder than words.Lesson number four is about Trust and Delegation. Ted Lasso trusts his team to do their jobs, and he empowers them to make decisions. This trust not only boosts morale but also allows each team member to grow: Trust your team's abilities and delegate responsibilities accordingly. Give them the autonomy to make decisions and watch them flourish.Lesson number five, Handling Adversity. Ted Lasso faces numerous challenges, but he always maintains his composure and optimism. He doesn't dwell on failures but uses them as opportunities for growth: When facing adversity, stay positive and focused on solutions. Embrace setbacks as learning experiences that can make your team stronger.Lesson number six, Celebrating Wins Together. Ted Lasso knows the importance of celebrating victories, no matter how small. This fosters a sense of belonging and motivates his team to keep striving for success: Celebrate both individual and team achievements. Recognize and appreciate the hard work and dedication of your team members. It's a powerful motivator.Now, it's time for your assignment! To apply these leadership lessons from Ted Lasso in your own life, we want you to do the following:Listening Exercise: Over the next week, practice active listening with your team or colleagues. Make an effort to understand their perspectives and feelings.Empathy Journal: Keep a journal where you record moments when you showed empathy and understanding towards others. Reflect on how it impacted your relationships.Lead by Example Challenge: Identify one area in your work where you can lead by example. Set the standard for your team and observe the effects.Trust and Delegation: Delegate a task to a team member, giving them the autonomy to make decisions. Offer guidance and support when needed.Handling Adversity Reflection: Think about a recent setback or challenge at work. Write down how you handled it and what you learned from the experience.Celebration Time: Plan a small celebration with your team for an achievement, no matter how minor. Recognize their contributions and enjoy the moment together.Remember, leadership is a journey, and these lessons from Ted Lasso can help you become a better servant leader. We'd love to hear about your experiences and insights, so feel free to share them with us on social media using #TedLassoLeadership.That wraps up our Leadership Lessons from Ted Lasso series.
