Leadership is Always Relevant as a Strategy!
The speed of the team is all about the speed of the leader.
You’re not really a leader if people aren’t following you.
In this episode, leadership, motivation, and overcoming your fears to get things done is discussed with Tim Kintz of Kintz Group
Buzzwords aren’t necessary for good leaders.
Managers are often the least trained people at companies. Even if they are trained, it doesn’t mean you they have what it takes to be a leader.
Five years from now. If someone asked your people, who was the person who made a difference in your life, will they remember your name? Leaders should strive to be the one who is remembered as impacting and influencing lives.
We discuss Tim’s “Leadership Quadrant”: Lead, Manage, Coach, Train, and how each of these is different based on individual skill sets. We discuss ways to determine which area is your strongest and where your individual skills are on the quadrant.
- Leading is setting the vision.
- Managing is the detail side.
- Training is giving knowledge.
- Coaching is developing skills.
Tim discusses dreaming big and leading big.
Leaders leave people better off than before they met. A good leader is in the trenches and focused on the people he or she is leading.
Being “fearless” plays an important role in leadership. Fear holds people back. Being fearless is about not being afraid to make mistakes. Stop being afraid. Take Charge. Dream Big. Have a big passion and a big purpose.
We also discuss the concept of an “Emotional Bank Account.” As a manager and as a leader, you will eventually have to get tough on people. Great leaders need to earn the right to have tough conversations with people. Do a good job of catching people doing things right. (Based off of a concept from John Maxwell.)
Determine where you want to be in 5 years and act on a plan to get there. Have a big vision. Paint a big vision for your followers. Make sure they know how they will fit into that vision
Tim also provides steps to take for a great employee one-on-one.
