    Self-Leadership

    In today's episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing coach, Mary Meduna-Gross. Mary and I have reconnected after meeting several years ago through a mutual Choice Theory enthusiast. It was such a joy to talk to Mary again after all these years and find out we have so much in common. As I launch Mental Freedom, Mary is also launching a program of her own dedicated, not only to walk along her clients, but to actually teach them the skills they need to lead themselves, and then by extension, develop the skills necessary to lead others. Not a fan of the command-and-control brand of leadership, Mary offers a softer, more effective, leadership style. You can discover more about Mary on her website, Plena Vita |, particularly at her blog. She also hosts a podcast where she interviews other leaders at her Fully Alive podcast, which can be found wherever you listen to your podcasts.

    Creating Relational Influence

    Effective leaders know how to build relational influence with their direct reports. As John Maxwell states, "Leadership is not about titles, positions or flowcharts. It is about one life influencing another." As a leader, you are trying to influence your people to buy into your, or your company's, agenda and vision. From my experience, I understand that relationships are the root of all influence. Therefore, having the ability to influence your people will be directly proportional to the strength of the relationships you form with the people you work with. I have created a checklist to help you evaluate how you are doing with each individual employee. It begins with creating a need-satisfying environment for yourself and your people. Next, is taking the time to explain the usefulness of what you want your people to do. And finally, you ask your employees to evaluate their own work, after you help them develop a successful structure for doing sot. You can download the checklist here: https://olverinternational.com/leadership
