Keep It Human Podcast

I wanted to do something special for our our 50th episode, so I reached out and asked some of our favorite guests for a favor. I asked them to share their thoughts on leadership today––

In just two minutes.

That’s a challenge! But these 7 incredible people accepted that challenge. You’re going to hear these nuggets right now.

Listen to the entire episode. There is a wide variety of perspectives, insights and ideas here. I don’t have a clue which one––or more will have an impact on you today.

I can tell you that as we put the show together, every single one of these leaders had an impact on me!

You can’t swing a dead cat these days without hitting a Disney expert. I probably should have said a dead mouse!

The problem is, most of them never even worked at Disney! They either went through the Institute or they read a few books and think they’ve got Disney down…

Dennis is one of the genuine greats in the field.

His level of experience is rare. He worked his way through the ranks at Disney from ride operator to one of the top executives at Disney World. And he applies these principles in his own business every single day.

And you need his book!

I never give an endorsement for a book unless I’ve read it and found it absolutely useful. I’ve read Dennis Snow’s “Lessons from the Mouse” several times and I recommend it constantly.

Book Dennis to speak at your next event. Bring him in as a consultant. His Lessons from the Mouse will take you and your organization to new levels.

Tim Harrington is the Author of Eisenhower on Enlightened Leadership one of the most sought after speakers on leadership today.

Tim believes that leadership is a skill, not a talent, making it learnable rather than an inherent character trait. He teaches leaders to inspire through a shared vision so, in his words, people “carry out what you want them to carry out, not because you want them to but because they intrinsically want to.”

Today he’s the president of TEAM Resources, a firm that provides strategic planning, training, and consulting for financial institutions nationwide.

Oh no! Are we talking about "safe spaces" and coddling? Not at all! Listen…

It takes genuine courage to expose your ideas to public scrutiny and criticism. And if you want to survive and thrive in today’s business environment, new ideas are no luxury––you need people willing to be creative and innovative––at all levels!

How can leaders today create an environment that encourages new ideas? How do you deal with criticism and even ridicule when new ideas are introduced?

That’s just part of what we talk about with David Lee––founder of Human Nature at Work.

It’s not easy finding the right people to lead your organization. It requires matching not only skills, but personality and leadership styles. In most cases it means finding people who appreciate and support your culture.

So how do you do it? We’ll talk about this and I’m sure much more today with Dr. Simon Samaha, co-founder of Kentan Staffing Solutions.

I met Simon when we presented at the same healthcare conference in San Diego, California. He covered a range of subjects I thought you’d find interesting. Even more, after just a short talk I knew he was someone that really embodied the principles of THE SENSEI LEADER MOVEMENT.

Simon’s specialty is in consulting and staffing for the healthcare industry. No matter what field you work in, I’m sure you’re going to find his insights valuable!
