June 17, 2021 Badass Unscripted - Overdeliver
If you're struggling to get exceptional traction or results with your clients...try this. Set the bar to "Overdeliver".
This means declaring an intention of delivering exceptional, unexpected value. It means asking for feedback against that intention. "How can I overdeliver with an exceptional (experience today, outcome this week, etc)?
And at every opportunity, ask..."did i/we overdeliver this week?" And if not ask why not.
Creating this exception and superior bar of service excellence, and insisting on being measured on it, forces you to work harder toward your goal because you know what people are watching you FOR. What they expect. And if you're afraid to set the expectation high...don't be. You're going to encounter failure anyway, so why not fail at something huge instead of something small?

June 14, 2021 Episode 185 - The Best Questions
Some people want direction. But for those that don't, leading means helping them get where they want to go. That starts with great questions.
When you lead, you can't often push. You may know where you want to steer people, or you may want to leave that up to the individual or team. But part of coaching is bringing your expertise and certainty to the game...so how do you do that?

Questions help people uncover where they want to go. They can also help create rails - freedom with safety.

Examples of great questions:
* -What do you want?
* -Why do you want that?
* -What else might get you there?
* -What are the beliefs you have about....(x)?
* -When I say....what does that make you think of?
* -When have you seen this work? Not work?
* -What's really happening?
* -What else do I need to know?
* -What's most important to you? Why?
* -How can we get more of what we want?
* -What do you need to make that happen?

June 06, 2021Episode 184 – How Much Does Uncertainty Cost You?
Seeking certainty costs you time and money. Think about how much.
This topic isn’t new, but it is perhaps the most pervasive cause of failure and disappointment in teams of every kind.
It is also the toughest problem to crack.
Seeking certainty means placing a higher value on consensus or evidence BEFORE acting – building, releasing, etc.
No one is immune to this problem. It’s everywhere
We seek to avoid mistakes or conflict, which is impossible.
The master skill here is the ‘courage to deal with the fallout of wrong or unpopular decisions’
Without this courage, two things are taken away from you – speed to market, and the sheen and polish of a decisive leader
However, courage is hard to ‘get’. Here are some things that might help give yourself (and others) more courage:
-Courage is a muscle. It doesn’t grow without use and challenge. Crisis. Pain.
-Challenge yourself to lean into your fear zone every day by having difficult conversations and inspiring others to do the same
When influencing others to make the leap, it’s helpful to:
-let them fail sometimes so they can experience the effects
-offer to take care of the executive support problem if they feel like they won’t have backing
-create “what if there was no…” or “what if you had everything you needed…” scenarios
-inventory their beliefs about going NOW
-always ask what else might work, and ‘why not?”

June 04, 2021 Badass Unscripted - Stretch Goals
* I was recently caught in an online conversation about how its inhumane to give teams stretch goals.
* We've been fooled into believing that this is how people are getting more and more stressed
* Stretch goals do not mean longer hours or added performance pressure. It means getting people to find ways to get better. To produce more with less effort. To be more effective. To bring more passion to their work, to take new things and make them habitual so they can focus on the stuff that matters.
* Here's the deal. If you don't tear muscle, it doesn't grow. If you don't challenge the mind, it doesn't expand. If you don't push your limits, you never get to see what you're made of, and how far you can go.
* That distaste you feel for being pushed in not injustice, it is fear.
* So get out there and ask to be pushed. We already live soft, easy lives, stop asking for a pass on the hard challenges that define a life well lived.

May 31, 2021 Episode 183 - Creating The Best Companies To Work For
If you want to work for "the best companies to work for" - make it yourself.
Great companies must model the ability to venture into the unknown and the uncommon in order to attain and sustain greatness.
It is possible whether the organization is large or small, but large organizations carry an additional challenge of overcoming negative will - the tendency to push back against progress to keep the organism safe and comfortable
You can still do it...but it requires much more effort and determination
It requires the ability to fail publicly
It requires a comfort level with constantly offending and upsetting people
It requires a rivalry with the status quo
It requires a trust relationship with the most senior leadership to shine a light on the cause - you must never fight this enemy in darkness
In a way, you have to enjoy the punches. You have to remember that the "obstacle is the way"
This is the antithesis of the easy and light path. Agreeable, one of the crowd, the grey man. You fight so much that sometimes it feels odd to agree.
It is a conscious choice to believe what you believe - the belief system of (not just) a rebel, but a pioneer. To want the best for your client and teams.
