Welcome to another episode of the Remarkable Leadership Podcast! In this episode, Kevin Eikenberry poses a thought-provoking question: "How personally do I take things?" Join Kevin as he delves into the effects of taking things personally and shares practical strategies to help you handle such situations more effectively. Whether you're a leader or simply looking to improve your communication skills, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable advice. Key Points Discussed: Reflecting on Personal Reactions: Kevin begins by asking listeners to ponder their own experiences with taking things personally and the impact it has on conversations and relationships. The Consequences of Defensiveness: How defensiveness can derail communication and lead to misunderstandings. Strategies to Manage Personal Reactions: Assume Positive Intent: Start by believing that others have good intentions, even if it’s hard to see. Assume Benign Intent: If positive intent is too difficult, consider that their actions may not be about you at all. Focus on Your Response: Sometimes it's best to not worry about their intent and concentrate on how you respond. Take a Deep Breath: A simple deep breath can help you stay calm and avoid a defensive reaction. Remove Yourself Temporarily: When necessary, step away from the situation to cool down and revisit the conversation later. Ask Clarifying Questions: Stay curious and ask questions to understand the other person's perspective better. Focus on Learning: Shift your focus to what you can learn from the feedback, even if you don’t agree with it. Final Thoughts: Kevin emphasizes that while these strategies can be challenging, they are ultimately helpful in improving communication and relationships.

How well do you delegate? Do you struggle to hand things off? Can you hand over tasks, but watch your team with an eagle eye? Neither of those will build organizational success. Kevin sits down with Dave Kerpen to explore the art of delegation, discussing why many leaders struggle with it and how to do it more effectively. Dave shares the five C's of effective delegation: 1. Choose Carefully: Select the right person or team for the task based on skill and fit, not just proximity or convenience. 2. Communicate Clearly: Clearly outline the expected outcome, allowing the individual to determine the best path to achieve it. Include the 'why' to provide context and purpose. 3. Coach and Cheer: Act more as a coach than a manager, offering support and guidance rather than micromanaging. 4. Check in Regularly: Establish a routine for check-ins to provide feedback and make course corrections as needed without overwhelming the delegate with constant updates. 5. Congratulate: Celebrate successes and provide constructive feedback to encourage improvement and acknowledge good work.

He is the co-founder and co-CEO of Apprentice, a platform connecting entrepreneurs with top college students. He is a popular contributor to Inc.com and a LinkedIn Influencer and has been featured in many media outlets, including the New York Times, the TODAY show, CBS Early Show, BBC, Financial Times, and more.

How do you move through stressful situations? Errol Doebler suggests you become an "ice cold” leader. Errol explains that science says our nervous system resets with cold (ice bath, cold shower…). When we clear our minds, we can focus on problem-solving. Errol shares his five-element process for problem-solving and decision-making and provides a framework for self-awareness and reflection. This process not only enhances individual leadership skills but also has a ripple effect on teams and organizations. By modeling self-awareness and reflection, leaders create a culture of continuous improvement and foster a positive work environment. As leaders embrace awareness and reflection, they unlock their full potential and make a lasting impact on their teams and organizations.

Is it better to prioritize making tasks quick and easy, or should you consider making them slower and more difficult? Bob Sutton suggests smart leaders can make the right things easier and the wrong things harder. Sutton joins Kevin to discuss the challenges faced by organizations as they grow, emphasizing the importance of recognizing both good and bad friction within teams and processes. He highlights the need to balance speed and thoroughness in decision-making, using examples like Google's hiring process evolution and the impact of inefficient workflows on employee morale and productivity. He also touches on leadership approaches like "management walking out of the room" to foster collaboration and decision-making and common traps organizations fall into, such as "addition sickness," where the default solution to problems is adding complexity instead of subtracting unnecessary elements. Meet Robert Robert's Story: Robert I. Sutton is the co-author of The Friction Project How Smart Leaders Make the Right Things Easier and the Wrong Things Harder with Huggy Rao. He is an organizational psychologist and professor of Management Science and Engineering in the Stanford Engineering School. He has given keynote speeches to more than 200 groups in 20 countries and served on numerous scholarly editorial boards. Sutton’s work has been featured in the New York Times, BusinessWeek, The Atlantic, Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, Vanity Fair, and Washington Post. He is a frequent guest on various television and radio programs, and has written seven books and two edited volumes, including the bestsellers The No Asshole Rule; Good Boss, Bad Boss; and Scaling Up Excellence. https://www.bobsutton.net/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/bobsutton1/ This Episode is brought to you by...

These include meaning, grace, inner-directed, community, presence, truth, and wisdom.

Blind spots—easy to see in others, but how do we recognize our own? Marisa Murray joins Kevin to explore strategies for uncovering and addressing blind spots. Murray outlines seven types of blind spots and shares examples. These include false assumptions, unhealthy detachment, differing views of success, outdated core beliefs, unconscious habits, triggers from past pain, and mismatched mindsets.

How can leaders wire their organizations to win? Gene Kim explains that work consists of three layers - the objects we work on, the tools we use, and the social connections between people. Successful leaders focus on this third "social circuitry" layer to integrate functions, remove barriers, create independence between teams, amplify weak signals of failure, and practice "slowification" - strategically slowing down to speed up long-term results. He also introduces two other principles - "simplification" and "amplification." Simplification involves breaking down complex problems into manageable parts, while amplification focuses on creating a management system that ensures even the weakest signals of failure are detected and addressed early. Meet Gene Gene's Story: Gene Kim is the co-author of several influential books, including The Unicorn Project, The Phoenix Project, and The DevOps Handbook. His latest book is Wiring the Winning Organization. Gene was the founder and CTO of Tripwire, Inc for 13 years, an enterprise security software company. In 2014, he launched DevOps Enterprise Summit, an annual event that has attracted over 10,000 technology leaders to date. He has spoken at over 100 companies and conferences, including Apple, Target, IBM, Nike, Principal Financial, lululemon, and Microsoft. His books have sold over 1 million copies. https://itrevolution.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/realgenekim/   Book Recommendations Wiring the Winning Organization: Liberating Our Collective Greatness through Slowification, Simplification, and Amplification by Gene Kim and Steven J.

You have probably heard of the “command and control” style of leadership. Stephen M.R. Covey joins Kevin to discuss the alternative – “trust and inspire”. Stephen says we underestimate the importance of trust by at least a factor of 10 if not 100 and highlights the high cost of low trust. Covey outlines five mindset shifts that form a more accurate and complete leadership paradigm (people have greatness in them, people are whole people, there is enough for everyone, leadership is stewardship, and influence is created from the inside out). He also touches on the evolving nature of work and the multitude of choices available to individuals.

How can we balance our technical expertise with emotional intelligence and empathy to lead with impact? Dr. Kirstin Ferguson joins Kevin to discuss the evolving nature of leadership.

Dr. Ferguson shares heart-based attributes, which include humility, self-awareness, courage, and empathy.
