    Ep144 The Multi-dimensional Leader, with Dan Silberberg

    Dan Silberberg talks about the Multi-dimensional Leadership. [10:00] If we are in an ecosystem and with peer to peer accountability, we are self-managed. We discover more unknown, unknowns. We uncover more unconscious biases. This is the way we've always done it. I've been here longer. This is how we do everything. Once you corporatized me, you've lost the genius that you hired. [21:51] To view the Slideshow go HERE: [37:51] "And when I start to see the brilliant genius and gift in others, guess what? I get to see it in myself. Exactly. And now I can also we all experience, this is the collective that I believe is missing in the world of zero sum game. "That's the three-dimensional world - I win, you lose, I get promoted. You don't. This is a whole different way of acting. And so I think it's, it's really important. And then the other part of it is that we will work with you on your business issues. "So coming out of global billion dollar publicly traded multinational companies having done global turnarounds of brands, having done five start-ups, having a tech background with EDS and oracle, having a consulting background in Mckinsey methodology and a T Carney. I've seen a lot of movies, but then we also have other people who come in with business expertise that you get the benefit of. "So it's a very dynamic um environment. "So that's one council and the other council that I have is what I'm calling the leader operating system. And this is where we work with vice presidents, managers, directors, people who aspire to the C suite.

    Ep143 The Bonfire Moment Part 2: The Workshop, with Martin Gonzalez

    Most startups fail not because of a bad product, poor timing, or mismanaged cash, but because of people problems: conflicts over strategy, decision-making, and team culture. Even the smartest entrepreneurs have been derailed by soft problems: •         How do you fire a loyal friend who’s not up to par? •         How do you motivate your team to give their all? •         What happens when egos and emotions overpower facts and reason? Martin Gonzalez co-authored ''The Bonfire Moment'' with Josh Yellin; the book launches today. https://amzn.to/3UYnMPQ   To view this episode on YouTube go HERE: https://youtu.be/qOTcFbJEyeA To visit the YouTube channel go HERE: https://www.youtube.com/@manageselfleadotherspodcast?sub_confirmation=1 === 7 key strategies are cornerstones of The Bonfire Moment feedback structure:   1 Treat people like volunteers 2 Protect the team from distractions 3 Invite disagreement 4 Minimize unnecessary micromanagement 5 Preserve interpersonal equity 6 Keep pace with expertise 7 Overcome discouragement === 4 TRAPS – The trap of Speed The trap of the Inner Circle The trap of the Maverick Mindset The trap of Confidence   Why maverick ideas can lead startups into trouble? What are the 6 most common maverick beliefs?   1. The myth of equal equity: Co-founders should receive equal equity in return for equal commitment and equal contributions.   2. The myth of shared command: Power and decision-making should be shared equally among cofounders.     3. The myth of scaling without hierarchy: Layers of management should be avoided as the company grows, because they create bureaucracy and slow progress.   4. The myth of structural harmony: Disputes between functional roles represent a failure point that should be fixed.   5. The myth of conflict-free growth. A strong culture should be able to minimize or even prevent all interpersonal conflict, even as the team grows.   6. The myth of sustained heroics: Heroic extra effort is necessary for the long haul, not just during the startup’s earliest months. The Bonfire Moment workshop has proven effective with hundreds of teams of all sizes around the world—from the smallest startups to large organizations—significantly improving their cohesion, focus and effectiveness. ABOUT MARTIN GONZALEZ Martin Gonzalez is co-founder with Josh Yellin of Google’s Effective Founders Project, a global research program using people analytics to uncover what makes the best startup ‘’founders’’ succeed. https://blog.google/outreach-initiatives/entrepreneurs/effective-founders-project/   A frequent lecturer at Stanford, Wharton and INSEAD  on organization design and people analytics, Martin has been at Google for 10 years and currently is a principal of organization and talent development, shaping team culture.   Qualified in organizational psychology and behavioral science at Columbia University and London School of Economics, Martin co-authored with Joshua Yellin the brand new book, The Bonfire Moment.   ABOUT PODCAST HOST, NINA SUNDAY To learn more about face-to-face training programs with Nina Sunday or with a Brainpower Training Facilitator in Australia Pacific, visit: https://www.brainpowertraining.com.au/signature-programs/   To visit Nina Sunday's speaker site for global in-person speaking bookings visit: https://www.ninasunday.com/   Connect with Nina Sunday on LinkedIn HERE: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ninasunday/   To subscribe to Nina Sunday's personal blog go to https://www.brainpowertraining.com.au/ and scroll to bottom of the page to register.   Nina Sunday helps leaders build their personal brand with a professionally recorded interview to legitimise your message to the team, promote your personal brand or to add to your CV.

    Ep142 What's an AI Strategy? with Michelle Tinsley, CEO

    AI's next inflection point is from employee experimentation to organizational transformation. This episode is with CEO and industry expert, Michelle Tinsley. You can watch the YouTube video here: https://youtu.be/6RbqomCkCfw TALKING POINTS [1:39] What do you find teams are not doing that they should be doing with AI implementation? [5:51] How can organizations benefit by becoming early adopters, and how can they use that expertise to become industry role models? [6:38 ]How do you address customer complaints about stock shortages when managing multiple warehouses across the country? [8:53] Who is the right person in my company to speak with your team for an assessment? [9:15] How can we get in touch with you? [10:50] A lot of times we're brought in by the CEO or the COO because they see where productivity can be gained. They have that owner's philosophy of, I've got to transform my company or I won't be here in 4 to 6 years. [11:09] What are the challenges when businesses store their data in the cloud? [11:16] How does a modern cloud architecture, such as a centralized data warehouse, make accessing data easier? Are the APIs ready to be tapped into, or do new secure portals need to be created to access the data? Do we have to create secure APIs to get out the data? [11:46] Can I just share with you a quote by Seth Godin.? ‘’AI is the biggest change in our world since the invention of electricity, a bigger change than the internet. If you're not using it for half an hour a day, you don't understand. You should. You need to put it on your calendar and go use it. Let that sink in for a moment.’’ [14:55] One of the tactics for innovation is to identify the top 20% of constraints hindering progress, the roadblocks. If you were going to consult with somebody from an organization, what would be the first question you would ask them? What are your pain points? Where are you losing yield? Where are you losing time? [15:58] How might fear prevent people from moving forward thinking that AI is going to replace them? [20:01] Let's close with another case study to the listener visualize what it is we can do to be in alignment with the AI revolution. === ABOUT MICHELLE TINSLEY, CEO, Sciata   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-tinsley/   Sciata  https://www.sciata.com/   https://www.linkedin.com/company/sciata/   Sciata brings more than a decade of experience providing specialists and custom software and analytics to accelerate change within organizations. === ABOUT PODCAST HOST, NINA SUNDAY To learn more about face-to-face training programs with Nina Sunday or one of the experienced Facilitators from Brainpower Training Pty Ltd in Australia Pacific, visit: https://www.brainpowertraining.com.au/signature-programs/   To visit Nina Sunday's speaker site for global in-person speaking bookings visit: https://www.ninasunday.com/   Connect with Nina Sunday on LinkedIn HERE: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ninasunday/   To subscribe to Nina Sunday's personal blog go to https://www.brainpowertraining.com.au/ and scroll to bottom of the page to register.

    Ep141 Asking is the Answer, with Mark Victor Hansen

    Guest, Mark Victor Hansen, is one of the world's most respected Thought Leaders known globally as the Ambassador of Possibility. Co-author of 'Chicken Soup for the Soul', the book series was translated into 43 languages, published in over 100 countries and 500 million copies sold worldwide. Ask! The Bridge From Your Dreams To Your Destiny (2021) is his latest book. Mark was turned down 144 times trying to get his book published and kept going when others told him it would never work. Mark is glad he held fast to principles of perseverance, excellence, and belief in oneself that allowed him to create extraordinary achievements in his life. According to Mark Victor Hansen, "Your dreams become your destiny when you learn the secret art of asking." Most people have beautiful dreams deep inside—the things they would like to have, the relationships they’d love to enjoy, and the wellness and well-being that would help them express their best, in every way. But often those dreams lie buried inside us, hidden by fear or unworthiness or a lack of awareness of what could be. Asking is the language to which the Universe can deliver a solution, understanding, illumination, or plan. You were born with a destiny. Your job is to discover it. Once you begin to practice the art and science of asking to discover your destiny and start to move toward it, you can manifest innumerable blessings for yourself and others. This isn’t a complicated process; in fact, it’s a simple gift that lies dormant within you. Once you learn to access that gift, everything changes for the better.  Ask! helps you access your hidden dreams and reveal them to be recognized and fulfilled in miraculous ways. You matter. The world needs you to find your destiny and live it. This book is your guide. Start crossing the bridge to your destiny today! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Ep137 Crucial Conversations, with Andrew Bryant

    Self-leadership is the practice of intentionally influencing your thinking and feeling towards your objectives. To influence your thinking and feeling you have to become aware of the thoughts and feelings you're having and drive those thoughts and feelings towards your objectives with intentionality. And that makes you the driver of your life rather than the passenger. Here's the link to the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/WnpfhnoJPxA Andrew Bryant opens with, "Whenever I teach feedback, the question comes, “But what if the person doesn't take the feedback? They get defensive or they get aggressive, they deflect?” Then we have to have a crucial conversation which is feedback on their ability to take feedback. And a crucial conversation is, “Hey, we had a conversation about this. There was an agreement for a change of behavior. That behavior hasn't happened. Your choices are your choices, but you choose to be part of this team, this organization, this family; and if those behaviors continue, they are not tenable with everybody.” ABOUT ANDREW BRYANT Andrew Bryant, founder of self-leadership, international speaker and leadership coach, is author of 3 books on self-leadership, including his most recent, "The New Leadership Playbook: Being human whilst successfully delivering accelerated results." Andrew Bryant's work is referenced in over 140 papers and PhD dissertations.
