Audio Tidbits

How often do you find yourself just sitting around with a few friends and the conversation gradually dies? At first it is comfortable but after a while, it starts to get awkward. You can't think of anything to say.

 

Do we have a deal for you. The team has gotten together to share two hundred and fifty two oldies but goodies to say to jump start the conversation. We know that you have heard them all before but having them handy can't hurt when you are at a loss for words.

 

Relax. It takes a while.

 

Press play. Here we go.

My father used to tell me that he never learned anything while he was talking. Yes, listen and learn was his technique for adding what others know to what he knows. At the end of the day, this was the best if not the only way to get smarter. This included seeing things from the point of view of other people and never assuming that his perspective was complete or even the best view point. This and other adaptive leadership tips are here for you in this episode of Audio Tidbits in the leadership category. As Dad liked to say, listen and learn.

Many things don’t mix but none quite so much so as love and power. It is thus surprising how often people try to mix the two or at least profess to be trying. It’s worth a listen.

Adaptive leadership requires clear focus, faith in those who take the journey with you and attention more to the problem than to who may or may not have caused whatever the issue is. The key is focus, faith and the benefit of the doubt. Please listen and judge for yourself.
