In reference to this tool, here is the question for you. "What are you going to stop doing, start doing and continue doing?"

Kevin DeShazo is our guest on this episode.  He runs the sport division of GiANT. Check out his work here.
Kevin says two of the greatest needs in the Athletic World right now among leaders are:
     How do we recruit on purpose?
     How do we set clear expectations?

Our favorite episode quotes: 
Steve, "If you can spend 70% of your time doing the things that come by nature to you and are energizing, and you can be unconsciously competent at, you'll always have the capacity to spend the other 30% of your time doing the things that are learned behaviors or unconscious competence."
Jeremie, "The GiANT tools are like a mirror. They start penetrating areas of improvement. They show the broccoli in your teeth and gives you the chance to get it out yourself. They create self-awareness."
Kevin, "It's the people activation that leaders in college sports are realizing they have to operate in a completely different mindset."

Episode Takeaway from Steve: The ability to understand people and to be a person who is able to support and challenge for each individual is no longer a "nice to have", it's now a prerequisite to everyone who is going to lead.
Episode Takeaway from Jeremie: We have built an ecosystem where we invite people to play. We do it in a way that is low cost and it is a community.

The Jeremie and Steve podcast show

To keep their listeners engaged and enthralled

And their friendship is truly heart-to-heart
They bounce ideas off each other
And challenge each other like no other
So if you want to be entertained
Tune in to the Jeremie and Steve podcast, oh so gainly
They'll make you laugh and think and smile
For a while.

Rise up, oh brave and bold

By fear and doubt and lack
But now is the time to break free
And chase your dreams with glee
Your vision is a beacon bright
Guiding you towards your destiny's might
So ignore the naysayers and the skeptics
And trust in yourself and your abilities
For you are capable of greatness
And you have what it takes to succeed
So rise up, oh brave and true
And follow your vision, it's your time to shine through
So don't hesitate, don't hold back
Go forth and seize your dreams, and never look back
For the world is waiting for you
To show them all that you can do.

While announcing this episode, Jeremie gets a little tongue-tied and is about to announce he and Steve's previous podcast, The Liberator Podcast. Have a listen to that podcast here.

In the introduction, Steve and Jeremie discuss the US, the UK and the economy in both. They talked through what it means to lead well when we can't fix things quickly. And what are the core principles that make a culture work? Jeremie boiled it down to humility.

Q&A
Jamie from Ohio, "I've just become a manager of 8 team members at a manufacturing plant, what would be the first couple of things I should do to get off on the right foot?"
Jeremie recommends "knowing your people to lead your people" and the 5 Voices Bootcamp. Steve recommends learning and using the Support/Challenge Matrix. To take the 5 Voices Assessment for yourself or even purchase licenses for your entire team, purchase here: 5 Voices Pro

If you have a leadership question (that may end up on the show), reach out to Tracy at [email protected]

Our favorite episode quotes: 
Steve, "We love on the Catalysts because we know how difficult that role is. Without Catalysts we wouldn't be seeing the growth of GiANT's impact within organizations."
Jeremie, "Lead with authority and compassion not just because you're the "guy"!"
Kayla,  "Our role as a Catalyst is really to accelerate the growth in people. How you help people become 100% starts with you. You being humble and not having pride. It's being intentional about being real with what your strengths and weaknesses are and sharing those stories and then being consistent with that. The language will do the work and the tools will do the heavy lifting if you are just continually putting them in front of people in whatever way works for your organization."
Sam, "If you want to change teams, you have to start at the individual level. And when you see multiplication happen, you have to celebrate it!”

In the introduction, Steve mentions that loss of integrity and honesty can bring a leader down, and people lose trust. People must know a leader is competent, but integrity and honesty must be in tact as well.

Thank you to Victoria from Omaha, Nebraska for this episode's audience question:
"My team keeps getting bogged down by tasks that aren't important to our vision. How do I get them to understand the priorities of their tasks?"
Jeremie: If you're the leader, you get to set the tone. Jeremie mentioned GiANT CEO, Bronson Taylor who works through a BLITZ system of conducting team meetings. Make sure to share the strategy and then communicate. You must have relational trust for your people to want to follow you.
Steve: Whenever there is an issue on a team, you have to be prepared to recognize that you're either looking in the mirror at your leadership or you have abdicated leadership of that team. You are responsible for what the team prioritizes. You have to create ways to  lift your head out of the details and look at the big picture.

Interview with GiANT Guide, Andrew Robinson:
Why do you do what you do, Andrew? 
Andrew says he does what he does because of the impact it has had on himself - his marriage, his parenting and at work. It also has a financial impact on his clients. They get to win! It can change a company's culture. He can also set his own schedule so he gets more time for his family and for self-care.

Steve says the reason he does what he does is scalable influence, making a difference in the world by empowering others. That is what a 100X Leaders is. Steve mentions The 100X Leader book. To order that book from Amazon, go here.  It's about legacy at this stage of life.

Jeremie says the reason he does what he does is that he gets to use business as a platform for influence. He gets to partner with people for liberation and multiplication.

Why is coaching a good business and would you recommend it? Why?
Andrew says to be a great leadership coach he sees some common factors in those who are successful at it: generosity and courage to do things that are uncomfortable; and curiosity that stems from humility. 

Our favorite episode quotes: 
Jeremie, "Let the world fund us to influence it. If it's not world class, then it's not good enough".
Steve, "It's really about legacy at this stage of the game."
Andrew,  "I'm challenging leaders to focus more on the process than the outcome."

"I'm a manager. How do I get my people engaged? When I try to be intentional, it feels like I can't get them engaged? 
Maria's answer: Give yourself an opportunity to implement your learning for yourself first before sharing with your people. Let them see you apply things first. 

Jeremie's answer: Let your journey of growth do the heavy work so that trust and relationships are built. Then it will be natural for people to want to follow you.

Our favorite episode quotes: 
Jeremie, "Very few leaders do a good job of transferring the magic they have. So when the leader leaves, all of that wisdom, background, connections and history goes out the door."
Steve, "Go slower and deeper which means you go further and you end up doing it for longer." "If I died tomorrow, how much of my magic would go with you?"
Maria,  "People don't think that multiplying is part of their job, but when they grasp it and make room for it, it transforms teams and organizations."

Episode Takeaway from Steve:  It always starts with you. You never graduate from the school of self-awareness. I wish we could get to a certain level and then be done, but that's not the way it is. Ask yourself this: "how do I be the best version of me? How do I be intentional?"
Episode Takeaway from Jeremie: The world needs better leaders. Leaders, it's the perseverance and the tenacity that builds unbelievable character. Be encouraged, if you are a leader working hard at it every day, we need you.

Highlights from the interview with Sophie:

Sophie, "If you have privilege, try and share it. When you do that you get to watch the impact of organizations and cultures".

Episode Takeaway from Steve:  
Where's the challenge for me as a leader right now? Is there a competency or credibility gap in me right now? You can always work on competency and skills, but integrity is very hard to win back. So what would it take to have more integrity.

Episode Takeaway from Jeremie: 
Sophie was transformed and liberated to be herself. She became activated by knowing her superpowers and now she is able to multiply. So, go do something. There's a journey and a process. Start!
