As we know, the world of business can change rapidly. And as we’re being drawn into the demands of the everyday, it can be easy to lose sight of the organization’s values. But it’s when we become overwhelmed and stressed and challenged that we need to lean into those chosen values the most. Otherwise, we risk running an organization that is based on empty promises.

As leaders, we rely on obtaining frequent and transparent feedback from our team members both for personal and organizational growth. Constructive feedback not only helps us make better-informed strategic and operational decisions, but it also helps foster a culture of open communication. And as most leaders know, it’s a lot easier said than done.

As a leader, no matter at what level, you will likely at some point find yourself wondering whether you’re making the right decision. The degree of self-questioning will likely vary depending on your knowledge, skills, experience as well as how you feel about your role as a leader. It may even devolve into an actual case of imposter syndrome.

There are days, as a leader, when it feels like all we’re doing, all day long, is directing traffic. Getting individuals unstuck by answering their questions, course-correcting projects by providing needed feedback, slowing some down who might be skipping a few steps and getting a little too far ahead.

Promoting leaders from within is a typical organizational practice. It usually starts with identifying an extraordinary team member that has demonstrated leadership qualities in a variety of situations.

Being a new leader can be scary.
It is natural to feel overwhelmed and anxious about how to handle situations and their outcome. But worrying can be destructive when left uncontrolled. And as entrepreneurs and leaders, we are frequently placed in high-stress, high-impact situations and are required to make decisions caught between the proverbial rock and a hard place.

To truly unlock a business's full potential requires addressing two complementary aspects in parallel. The first one is the business side: understanding the strategy, financials, planning, operations, product services, marketing, etc. The second one is the people side: the individuals that make the systems work together and fulfill the organization's purpose.
Entrepreneurs who frequently start out by themselves typically ...
Typically an organization's mission and core values are shared with new team members as part of some form of onboarding activity. For most organizations, that's pretty much the extent of the team member's exposure to ongoing strategy, the mission, and the values.

Like many leadership skills, having the ability to build trust begins with recognizing the importance of this activity and understanding the necessity to behave in a manner that will contribute to the development of that much-desired trust and credibility.
Although positional power may yield compliance to have a truly highly-functioning team, it's essential to build trust, not just have compliance.

When evaluating how our business is doing, we tend to gravitate toward stats. Numbers are that objective measure of growth or signal that there are significant issues that need to be addressed. But, as much as stats are essential, creativity is key in helping entrepreneurs stand out from the crowd and gain a competitive edge.

You’ve identified individuals that you feel would make great formal leaders at your organization. That’s great! But are you providing these new leaders with ways to build their leadership confidence?

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
