Question from Jay:

"I’m on the board of an organization that is run by two partners. One partner is really a people person. The other partner is more of a driver, all business, doesn’t like to fool around in the office. The challenge is one partner really pushes employees to the point where they almost want to quit and then the other partner has to come in and calm things down and smooth out the hard feelings. The drive partner is sometimes also blunt and driven with customers so the other partner has had to patch some things up and in other cases they have lost customers. What can I do?"

We mentioned Ram Charan's new book, Boards That Lead*

We also mentioned his recent interview with the HBR IdeaCast

We all want to be right, but of course we are sometimes wrong. The advice from Dale Carnegie almost a century ago is as good today as it's ever been.

Dale Carnegie said almost 100 years ago in How To Win Friends and Influence People, “When you’re wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically.”

Four truths:

My truth

Your truth

Our shared truth

The actual truth

Three benefits you get from admitting you are wrong:

You advance immediate progress on organizational goals

You drive future innovation and creativity

You inspire people to move forward

The best marriages are not without conflict. The best teams and leaders and not without error.

Once in awhile, someone says something cool that we take throughout our lives to help us lead. On this episode, wise words that can help you influence better. I share four stories that will help you lead more effectively.

First story

Take small bits of wisdom from others and then, over time, make it your own.

Second story

Be humble enough to realize what you don't know and get advice from the experts.

Third story

When you or others have missed a feedback opportunity, acknowledge it and move forward the correct way.

Fourth story

Be willing to change directions for a few minutes to make someone's day.
