FlowPreneur™ Unshakeable Leadership

What’s the needed shift for leaders in today’s business environment?

Traditional approaches revolved around ‘Acts of Heroism’- a bias towards rescue and solving issues to get things done fast. More effective now, is ‘Operating in Moments of Silence’. This empowers team members to step up and solve problems on their own, to become great leaders themselves. 

Results come when a leader holds each team member accountable plus encourages their sense of accomplishment. 

Dave McKeown helps individuals, teams, and organizations achieve excellence by doing the ordinary things extraordinarily well. He is the CEO of Outfield Leadership and author of The Self-Evolved Leader - Elevate Your Focus and Develop Your People in a World That Refuses to Slow Down. His specialty lies in connecting individual and team performance to improve business results with a particular focus on fast-growing, complex organizations. 

In this episode, Dave talks about how peer-to-peer leadership develops their sense of worth, empowering them to find solutions on their own and become effective leaders themselves.  

What you will learn from this episode: 

• Learn how to shift from a mindset of mediocrity to a mindset of excellence 
• Find out the key disciplines of great leadership  
• Learn how to do ordinary things extraordinarily well so as to become not just good but a great leader 

“I think that we have mythologized great leaders, often to the point where we've got this message that says, 'You have to have some great visionary perspective on life to be a great leader', whereas actually being a great leader is all about doing those ordinary things extraordinarily well.”  

- Dave McKeown

Key Takeaways: 

“There are plenty of good leaders out there. But in order to help them become truly great, it's all about focusing on doing those ordinary things extraordinarily well. So, getting 1% better tomorrow, getting 1% better the next day, over a prolonged period of time.”  

“For me, the shift from that cycle of mediocrity that we talked about towards the cycle of excellence, which is where you're really developing your people and thinking more strategically like any other behavioral shift has to start with a mindset or a perspective shift.”  

“Being a great leader is being a good delegator, but also ensuring that your people are developing as a result of that.” 

“Discipline is to build shared accountability in your team so that it's not a top-down thing. Did you do this? Here are your goals? Why are you not doing this? It's more a peer to peer sense of, we're all working towards some common goals here. So, let's find a way to hold each other accountable.”

This pandemic shaken us all and fundamentally exposed the type of person we are: either someone who feels the sky is falling or someone who sees this as an opportunity to inwardly strengthen and find success despite the uncertainty.  

Ryan Gottfredson, Ph.D. is a cutting-edge leadership development consultant, author, trainer, and researcher. Ryan is the Wall Street Journal and USA Today best-selling author of “Success Mindsets: The Key to Unlocking Greater Success in Your Life, Work, & Leadership” (Morgan James Publishers). He is also a leadership professor at the Mihaylo College of Business and Economics at California State University-Fullerton. 

In this episode, Ryan talks about why mindset makes all the difference. 

What you will learn from this episode: 

• Discover the place of self-awareness in leadership development 
• Learn what stops leaders really showing up and serving their people 
• Find-out how mindset sets the trajectory for an organization’s success map 

“Becoming conscious of your mindsets allows you to be a more mindful practitioner in life because we’re now starting to gain control on consciousness of things that are dictating in our life that we previously haven’t had consciousness or control over.” 

– Ryan Gottfredson 

Topics Covered:

01:16 – The synergy between mindsets and the idea of unshakeable leadership 

02:38 – Why is there lack of awareness among leaders of today 

06:00 – What is at the core of leaders lacking self-awareness 

07:48 – Why resistance is huge in a closed mindset

13:37 – What impact has doing mindset work had on your life personally?

Key Takeaways:

“Those with negative mindsets, their mindsets caused them to think and operate in ways that make their life more difficult for them that are disengaging their employees.”

“Those with the more positive mindsets, natural and effective leadership just naturally come out in terms of how they process and operate in their world.”

“I think everybody needs some work on our mindsets, we can always improve. And the thing that’s tricky about our mindsets is that for most of us, our mindsets, they’re consistently shaping how we think and how we operate, but they’re doing so at a non-conscious level.”

“What I termed to be a closed mindset is, they want the best for the organization, but because they’re closed-minded because they think that what they know is best this leads them to quickly shut down the ideas of others because I know what’s best, I don’t need to listen to you.”

“When we believe that we may be wrong, then we’re not focused on being right. We’re focused on finding the truth and thinking optimally, and they’re just not there yet. So, we need to help awaken these leaders that they may have a little bit of a closed mindset, that could be very well-intended.”

Key Takeaways:

“Our body and spaces come from our world of performance, our body and space, and the impact it has on those around us through the choices we’re making, either consciously or unconsciously. And so we believe that if we can tune their awareness to that we can begin to work with them from an inside out approach.” 

“Let’s find the way that’s authentic to you. Because for us, so much of it is about authenticity. And we don’t want to just offer tips and tricks that can be layered or lacquered on top of someone’s existing ethos.” 

“What we’re finding over and over again, is, leaders who are leading these Zoom meetings or virtual meetings, they don’t necessarily have the skill set to be able to connect with the audience that they’re speaking with. And so it is so important, especially today to really be really intentional about your ethos.” 

“Connection to us is the key to successful communication, I believe, successful communication and the best people who can do that tend to be the best leaders.” 

“Very clear boundaries and expectations, it makes a huge difference for the people who attend those meetings, and for the people who lead them.”

We overcome an obstacle – and that’s cause for celebration. But what if there’s actually a way to obliterate the problem and do away with it, once and for all? 

 A proven, solid problem-solving process can do just that… and, BTW, what’s this got to do with Love? 

David Veech is the author of two best-selling books: Leadersights: Creating Great Leaders Who Create Great Workplaces , and The C4 Process: Four Vital Steps to Better Work .  

 He teaches leaders how to love, learn, and let go so they can create a workplace that fully engages the creative and productive power of people.  

In this episode, David helps us learn how to obliterate obstacles rather than just overcome them. Learn how to use critical thinking as a powerful tool in solving organizational problems and discover the secret sauce to leadership success and peak performance. 

What you will learn from this episode:

• Discover how to practice lean thinking as a leader — which is deeply rooted in developing people both technically and cognitively using ‘The C4 Process’
• Learn how organizations of all types can create a leader-development system that defines critical leader behaviors
• Discover how personal behavior of leaders enhances influence and performance and how it is positively associated with being perceived as a leader

“The secret sauce to leadership success and peak performance is, love. You gotta love your people. You have to love what you do. You have to love yourself. And that mindset and that calibration around love, and I define love as a deliberate decision that you make to place the needs of someone else over your own.”

Key Takeaways From David Veech:

“Everybody talks about overcoming obstacles, you know, we all have obstacles. But you know, if we overcome an obstacle, you just left it behind. It's still there for somebody else. If you apply the right kind of problem solving, you can obliterate that thing and it never bothers anybody else again.” 

“I want people to solve problems and not just bypass and not just push them off to somebody else. Solve it, get rid of it, obliterate it.”

“Leaders are charged with creating learning organizations and learning really flows from this problem solving thinking process.”

“If we apply a good, solid problem solving process with good, deep critical thinking, we can solve problems once, instead of having to solve them over and over and over and over again.”

“Leadership development is probably the biggest failure in preparing an organization for the future. If a leader also doesn't have a clear vision of where he or she wants to take the organization, it gets very hard to build those kinds of development plans for your subordinate leaders.”

“As a corporate leader, I was never used to listening. I was used to telling people what to do. Fear was the key, but as a coach, it has that diametrically opposite kind of stuff. So I work with leaders today, to see how they can completely shift themselves.”

Have you ever wondered how people would remember you at the end of your career? 

What is that one word you want someone to use when they describe you?
