Ep 137: Exploring the Gifts of Failure and Risk with Ryan Leak

In this episode, Global Leadership Podcast interviewer Jason Jaggard sits down with Chris McChesney, co-author of The Four Disciplines of Execution, to revisit the book and to explore how the four disciplines can impact our lives outside the business world.   IN THIS EPISODE:  -       What is a basic overview of the “Four Disciplines of Execution”?  -       How can you learn to focus what is most important, but is not necessarily the most urgent?  -       What “levers” can you affect that make it seem like your intended result is a winnable game?  -       What has being a parent taught Chris about leadership, and how can the four disciplines be applied to a family?     LISTEN   Apple Podcasts  |   Spotify  |  YouTube      STANDOUTS AND TAKEAWAYS  -       It’s better to fall in love with a problem than it is to fall in love with a solution.  -       All of the “have tos” in our life is called “The Whirlwind.” The “One” is the strategic result in your life that is going to require disproportionate effort.  -       Human beings have the capacity to handle “the whirlwind plus one.”  -       It’s best to not give your frontline teams the answers; get their commitment and engagement by making them a part of the process.  -       The Four Disciplines can actually be a way to protect the entrepreneurial spirit of a organization.  -       If you want to see the highest level of engagement a human being is capable of, watch them in a game.  -       The strategic result you’re looking for should feel like both a high-stakes game and a winnable game.  -       Progress and purpose are the most important things that drive employee engagement. This fact also has profound implications for how leaders address remote work.  -       The whole purpose of The Four Disciplines is to achieve goals that do not feel as important as “the day job.”  -       If kids have one anchor of self-esteem in their life, they are able to handle the whirlwind and drama of life much more effectively.  -       The enemy of the human soul is not work; it’s futility.  -       The struggle is that as you become more successful as a company, the whirlwind grows and requires more and more.  -       People don’t fear change; they fear uncertainty.  -       Most success comes from putting huge energy into small wins.  -       The most significant jump is moving from leading a team to leading leaders.   LINKS MENTIONED  -       Website: Chris McChesney  -       Book: The 4 Disciplines of Execution: Revised and Updated: Achieving Your Wildly Important Goals  -       Added Value: Tim Harford: Trial, error and the God complex (TEDTalk via YouTube)  -       Added Value:  “Leaders Concerned About Remote Work Should Be Looking at This Metric”  -       Podcast:  2018 Global Leadership Podcast  -       Book: The Truth About Employee Engagement: A Fable About Addressing the Three Root Causes of Job Misery (Patrick Lencioni)    -       Website: Global Leadership Network   THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY:   -        World Vision

Ep 136: Chris McChesney - Twenty Years in Love with the Same Problem

Comedian and author Michael Jr. talks with Global Leadership Podcast team member Jason Jaggard about how moving from an attitude of “what can I get from an audience” to “what can I give to an audience” changed everything for him.     IN THIS EPISODE:  -       When did Michael Jr. realize he was funny?   -       How did “Funny For the Forgotten” get started?   -       How did he get started in his CAREER in comedy?   -       What kept Michael Jr. going when things were really challenging?   -       How did he come to faith?   -       How did his tour with his wife come about and what do they hope to accomplish?    -       What’s next for Michael Jr.?      LISTEN   Apple Podcasts  |   Spotify  |  YouTube    STANDOUTS AND TAKEAWAYS  -       Everything changes when you make the shift from asking, “what can I GET from people” to, “what can I GIVE to people.”  -       When you have a gift, your job is solely to present the gift. You cannot control with how the gift is received.  -       As a leader, your job is to “listen in between the gaps” so you can really know where people are at.  -       Whatever you’re doing, you need to get your reps in.  -       If you quit something, you are practicing quitting.  -       The only reason you do anything in life is to either avoid pain or to gain pleasure.  -       Without conflict there’s no revelation.  -       Comedy is NOT the destination; it’s only the vehicle; there’s a bigger purpose.    -       If you make a wrong turn, God doesn’t abandon you and where you’re supposed to go. He just recalculates. It may take you longer to get there, but there are still directions to follow.     LINKS MENTIONED  -       Website: Michael Jr.’s Website  -       Website: Funny How Marriage Works  -       Book: Funny How Life Works  -       Website: Selfie Dad  -       Website: Funny for the Forgotten  -       Added Value: George Wallace  -       Podcast: Funny How Life Works  -       Website: Jason Jaggard on LinkedIn  -       Website: Novus Global  -       Website: Meta Performance Institute    -       Website: Global Leadership Network     THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY:  -        Belay Solutions
