Lead Change Radio

Whether you are a leadership consultant, HR professional or peer manager, you are in a position to influence leaders. Some of these leaders have different priorities regarding treatment of the human beings who are their constituents (i.e. Human resources), or have shutdown their own self-awareness or "emotional intelligence."

Let's discuss how we got to treating people like a "resource" and what we can do to bring back "leaders". Howow we can influence others toward a character-based approach to leadership.

Our panelists, Tara Alemany, Shawn Murphy and John Ikeda and I will discuss questions such as:

* What is your observation in leaders - aware and desiring to be character-based or not?
* What is your opinion how/why this happened?
* What have you found that has worked to influence leaders toward a character-based leadership approach?
* What more can we do?

This will be an open discussion on what our community has experienced. We want to create a shared-experience, story-based approach to leadership developmen. We all have a need to share the challenges we're having advancing the cause of authentic, character-based leadership.

We will also be taking questions and comments from listeners, so if you have something you want to say, be sure to tune in real-time.

Share what you're thankful for. Call in and talk with Connie Vallejo (@cvallejo64) and me and anyone else who calls in to share what you're thankful for. Gratitude is the attitude that makes joy, hope, success, and prosperity possible. What a better way to celebrate the great community of people we've met online over the past year or so than to have a call in show and tweet chat. Tweet your gratitude on Twitter using the #thankful hashtag

Join Tara Alemany, Susan Mazza, Shawn Murphy and Erin Schreyer for a discussion about Lead Change Round Tables.

This weeks guest for Meet LeadChange is Mike Henry Sr. (@mikehenrysr, LinkedIn, Facebook) We will turn the tables (or the microphones) on Mike and I'll act as the host and moderator of the discussion.

However, rather than do your typical one-on-one inteview, we will open the phone liness so you can call in to ask Mike questions about anything. (Yes, anything!)

Mike is the founder of the Lead Change Group and a consultant, coach, speaker, and community builder. He enjoys helping people make a positive difference in any endeavor. He helps leaders at all levels gain perspective regarding their position, responsibilities, and how they are perceived throughout and around the organization.

Mike speaks, consults and provides group and individual coaching to help people lead through relationships. His group coaching program, Leader From The Pack, helps middle managers and emerging leaders to inspire, encourage, and support stakeholders in all directions: inward through influencing their team and peers, externally through improved relationships with suppliers and customers, upward through inspiring trust, and downward through supporting and developing direct reports and successors. Mike energizes leaders to deepen their character as the foundation of their leadership.

He's not shy, so we've provided some extra time for this interview. Please be sure and join us. You won't want to miss it.
