Episode 23 - Apprentice to Rock 'n Roller to Leader - Lessons on Leadership from a former Rock Star from Liverpool


Listen Later

Leadership as a business strategy or leadership in general is always an important topic.

Learning about leadership can help you grow into a better person.

My favorite leadership style is “servant leadership.” Servant leaders don’t see themselves as the dictator and that they actually serve others. They lead by example.

  • Tom Lawrence has a YouTube channel, Leadership & Growth.
  • Tom also has a website, highlyeffectiveleader.com.
  • Tom has published a book on leadership.
  • Tom is a former Rock Star who moved from Liverpool, England to the West Coast of the United States
  • Highlyeffectiveleader.com is a website that started off as a blog in January, 2020.

    The purpose of the book and YouTube Channel, Leadership & Growth, is to help people learn from Tom’s mistakes and resonate with them to become better leaders.

    Tom intends to inspire others to take the next steps in their leadership journey.

    Tom has written a book entitled Manager to Leader.

    It is targeted at managers, supervisors, and team leaders who have the position and job title, but now need to know what to do.

    Having a job title gives you a certain authority and gives you a certain amount of power, both as a leader.

    The leader’s job is to serve their people, serve their team.

    The book is to help them understand what servant leadership is, why we need to save our people and how to save our people.

    How, how can leaders serve their people?

    “Serve” is another way of saying “help.” It's a responsibility of the leader to grow and develop others.

    Develop yourself as a leader. Don’t be exposed.

    Why is dictatorship why is a deep dictatorial style of leadership and effective in 2021?

    Dictator-style leaders do not inspire people to give their own ideas, their own solutions, their own recommendations, and they are not inspiring them to implement their own ideas.

    Servant leadership is the exact opposite.  Servant leaders inspire others to come up with their own ideas and solutions.

    Tom is a former rock star and the leader of the band led by example.  She helped others learn their parts and stay focused on the goal.

    What Tom learned from his Rock Star experience is to follow your dream: Do not give up on your dream.

    If you have something that you really want to do that you think can make a difference in the world or even will make a difference in other people's lives, don't give up, keep doing it, keep working hard.

    What is Tom’s vision? What is his just cause?

    Tom’s just cause is that envisions a world where leaders create environments that focuses on people.
