    SWOT Yourself!

    Many people know about using SWOT to analyze their business. It is a fundamental tool helping develop business success. But what about using it on yourself? Why not "SWOT yourself?" After all, YOU are your PRIMARY business. If you don't know all you can about YOU, then how can you guide your "other" business?

    Bias is Dumb! (and DUMB is bad for Business!)

    So much of what impacts the success of a business (or ANY organization) is how people interact with people. From colleagues, to employees, to vendors, to customers, and so on. Bias is something that exists in us all. Recognizing and understanding that is critical to developing and keeping the key relationships a business needs to thrive!But today, we are encouraged to BE biased. Social media discussions--no matter the topic--drip with lack of willingness to understand. It has become nothing more than "cheerleading for YOUR team" despite what the virtues of the topic may be. Don't let the dumbing down of society cause your business or organization to be dumb as well!

    Episode 3: 3 Things to Get Stuff Done!

    The most consistent symptom I have seen related to decreased leadership effectiveness has been....poor time management. This creates stress, distracts from priorities, and eliminates you as a resource for your team. In this podcast, I talk about a very simply strategy for managing all of the tasks you face on a daily basis so that you can be the most effective leader you can.

    Episode 1.1: I screwed up!

    After uploading Episode 1, I realized I screwed up several things! This video is about the lessons learned--connected to general leadership lessons--from rushing to post my first podcast. So what do I do? I rush to post this video! (I took my time editing and making sure it was all squared away prior to uploading this time!) Besides "lessons learned," I highlight the future of The STRATEGIC LEADERcast so you have an idea what to expect! ....as long as i don't screw up again.

    Episode 1: You're Using Leadership Styles Wrong!

    Leadership styles are all over the place. In books, in academic papers, in podcasts, and in videos! But do you know how to use them? Do you have to pick one to be a great leader? Most people do this wrong and end up wasting a lot of time as they pursue greater leadership effectiveness!
