    Your Leadership Can Become Dull Like a Knife in Your Home…
    You Need Some Honing Steal to Sharpen it.

    Leadership is never something we can fully master. It is an elusive journey to keep growing and going.

    Many times as leaders, we can get into a rut in our leadership. We can get stagnant. For whatever reason, our leadership has become bland.

    Then there are those that we lead. Perhaps they have lost faith in our leadership ability. For whatever reason, the followers don’t have the same energy around our initiatives.

    Like a once sharp knife, our leadership has become dull. We need honing steel to sharpen our leadership. Where do you find that?

    In this episode of A New Direction, Major General John Granski (RET’d) joins us to talk about his little book entitled, “Leadership Sharpeners – Leading as an Iron-Sharpened Leader”.

    General Gronski’s new pocket book, “Leadership Sharpeners – Leading as an Iron-Sharpened Leader” is a must-have for every person.

    This is a small compact powerhouse leadership book that will engage you, inspire you, and if you will consistently follow the chapters in this book will change into the leader your followers always hoped you would be.

    General Gronski, combines his passion for leadership with outstanding research and his experience as a U.S. Army Major General to give us the most valuable nuggets to be a great leader.

    One of the most fantastic things about this pocket book is that he takes ideas that normally would be used in the military and as he says “civilianizes” it.

    The book is a great combination of practical and thought-provoking.  Dealing with everything from your mindset to your behavior.

    A perfect book for anyone, whether you are in leadership or aspire to grow as a leader in your business or family.

        Moving Past Your Past So You Can Move Forward in Your Leadership

        Most of us have a tendency to ignore our past. We try to make light of it as if it has no effect on us. Here is an undeniable truth, your past is affecting your leadership.

        You cannot escape that fact that how you lead is a result of the way you were raised. And while for many of you there may have been much good, because our brains are wired for negativity it is those negative things in our past that we carry into our businesses every day that keep us from being the leaders we could be.

        In this episode of A New Direction Serial Entrepreneur Jeff Giagnocavo current Co-Owner of Gardner’s Mattress & More talks about how by being honest about his abuse as a child affected his life and leadership.

        This is one of the most powerful, honest, books I have read on leadership development.

        Jeff’s book “The Space for Leadership: Lessons for who you can be, regardless of who you were” is a power packed book.  

        Jeff tells us about his childhood abuse and how by dealing with his past that he was able to become a more effect leader.

        Each chapter has a powerful leadership lesson that comes out of his journey of healing.  His story challenges all of us to take a closer look at our past and discover those things that are holding us back from being the shield we need to be to those we lead.

        The book implores us to take a deeper dive into ourselves, and become more vulnerable about who we were and who we are and who we can become.  Get your self a copy of  The Space for Leadership.

        SPECIAL MISSION:
        Leadership Principles from the War in Israel
        Major General (ret) John Gronski

        Having spent a few days in Israel during the Hamas/Israel conflict I had a different and unique experience. The news media, as typical does not tell the whole story, or they focus on only on a particular aspect of the war and only look at what they believe is important eliminating extremely important details.

        And often we want to know things like: How do you lead when confront by an enemy who is focused on terror? What does a leader do? How do you not only lead others but lead yourself? And what principles can you and I take away from leadership in this type of a conflict that we can apply to our lives.

        In this special episode of A New Direction, we bring back Major General (Ret) John Gronski who spent time in the middle east during the Iraq war under trying circumstances.

        The General and I spend time talking about how to deal with an enemy that is bent on your destruction.  What kind of leader do you need to be in the face of a violent and chaotic enemy, and more.

        General Gronski’s book entitled “Iron Sharpened Leadership: Transforming Hard-Fought Lessons Into Action” is in my opinion one of the most complete books on leadership you will ever read.

        Throughout the book General Gronski gives you action steps in each chapter that you can take from the concepts and apply it to your life right now.

        Unlike most leadership books I have read, General Gronski dives into the importance of the spiritual self when it comes to leadership.

        And rather than dance around the issue he makes it abundantly clear that the spiritual you needs to be in training the like the physical, mental, and emotional you.

        The book is available in Audible so there are no excuses to listen to or read the book.  Get your copy by clicking HERE or on the picture.

        Leadership for New Leaders and for the Experienced Leader

        Are you a new leader? Maybe you are a “seasoned” leader? Well, here is a show and a book that is aimed at new leaders, but the seasoned leader can glean from. It is this time of year that in baseball we are getting close to “Spring training”. The new players “the rookies”, and the season players “the veterans” all come together and work on one thing…fundamentals. No matter how long you have played the game you always must be working on the fundamentals. The same is true of Leadership.

        On this Episode of A New Direction, Best Selling Author Home – Giant Leap Consulting returns with his new book “Leadership Two Words At A Time”. While it is purposely written to the new person in leadership, the fact is, this book is great for any leader to get back to the fundamentals and remind yourself why you are in leadership in the first place. The book is educational, entertaining, poignant, and full of actions that you can take to improve your leadership.

        Leadership Two Words at a Time:
        Simple Truths for Leading Complicated People

        Bill Treasure latest book Leadership Two Words at a Time is a fun and edutaining read.  Each chapter title is only two words, and then Bill breaks down each of these leadership truths into bite size pieces so that they can be easily digested by anyone.  While the book makes a point, and a strong one at that, Bill uses his sense of humor to take a look at ourselves and how we are leading others so that we can smile and move on to mastery in our leadership.

        What is more Leadership Two Words at a Time also ends each chapter with a Two-word Bonus Tip, Questions for you to think about, action items to work on, and after each section asks you to commit to an oath that you will work on to become a stronger more effective leader.  The book is a quick read, well written, and really a lot of fun to read.  If you would like to connect with Bill you can reach him through his website: Home – Giant Leap Consulting.

        Find your leadership blind spot: take the free 3-minute Leadership Blind Spot Scorecard at jayizso.com/scorecard

        To say that we are living in some turbulent times is an understatment. It is during turbulent times like these that we are all tested, but it is where we see great leadership emerge, and at the same time weak leadership to fail. One trait that is for sure in great leadership is reslience. The ability to keep going when we keep getting hit. When circumstances and economies surround and attack our business.  It is during those times where resilient leadership must show up and lead the way.  In this episode of A New Direction Ali Grovue & Mike Watson encourage us as leaders though six interrconnected habits of reslient leadership. Whether you are aspiring to leadership, are in leadership and want to become even greater this show is for you!

        Ali Grovue and Mike Watson‘s book is entitled Rise Up: Leadership Habits for Turbulent Times.  It is 100 pages of powerpacked practical mindsets and behaviors that anyone can practice and will see improvement in their leadership.  Rise up requires that we take a deep dive into ourselves in our leadership positions and as people and ask the hard questions so that we can not only handle change, but lead change.  The book is filled with real examples, and great research.  Rise up will be a book that you will refer to again and again as a resource for you to enhance your leadership regardless of how long you have been a leader.

        When it comes to leadership who better than a U.S. Army general is more qualified to talk about it.  When you have led thousands of men and women in the midst of brutal, volatile, and dangerous combat, and having to take the responsibility of the lives of all those under his command you better demonstrate great leadership.  You not only need to have great leadership knowledge, but you must have characteristics, values, and wisdom that people believe in and want to follow.  Major General John L. Gronski (ret’d) is that person, and we have the honor of having him on A New Direction with his book Iron Sharpened Leadership.

        General Gronski’s book is in my opinion the essential must read leadership book that you must have on your book shelf.  The book literally takes you through the building of a great leader.  He divides it into three sections:  Character, Competence, and Resiliency.  It is the foundation of these qualities that he gives us an advanced class in leadership.  “Iron Sharpened Leadership” is practical, pragmatic, will make you think, consider your own values, and will change you.  General Gronski fully understands that to be the best leader you need to continually train all four of the areas of your being, i.e. the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.  The fact is if you are not growing in these areas, you are dying.  “Iron Sharpened Leadership” will encourage you, but more importantly it will change you!  Get your signed copy directly from the General himself by Clicking Here!

        John Wooden was the greatest college basketball coach of all time.  He won 10 National Championships and 4 undefeated seasons while at UCLA.  Some have even said, that John Wooden was the greatest coach of any sport…it would be hard to argue against him.  As great as John Wooden was as a basketball coach he was even a better coach of life.  His players loved him, and he invested himself in them.  His leadership was legendary and still is today.  We are so fortunate to have with us on this episode of A New Direction Lynn Guerin who spent the last 25+ years with coach Wooden up until his last dying words.  He worked with Coach Wooden to develop a coaching model for success and leadership.  And continues today to coach companies the “Wooden Way”.

        Along with Jason Lavin, Lynn Guerin have written the book “Coach ‘Em Way Up” based on the fundamental principles espoused by Coach Wooden.  The book is practical and insightful into the Leadership and success lesson Coach Wooden practiced every single day and taught to his teams.  Always the engineer he created his “Pyramid of Success” which would guide him daily and continues to guide others who follow it.  The book “Coach ‘Em Way Up” is filled with not only tremendous insights, but also work sheets to help you coach yourself (which is the most important person to begin with), and use with your teams.  There is also an online assessment that I highly recommend you should take.  I took it twice (the first time I was in denial).  To access the assessment click on or copy and paste https://www.thejohnrwoodencourse.com/the-pyramid-of-success-assessment-for-individuals and for A New Direction listeners if you use the code “Coach50” you will get 50% off the assessment.  It is a great deal and it will change the way you look at yourself and your leadership.

        Dr. Colburn’s book is entitle “Own Your Job“.  But it is really more than just taking ownership of your job.  It is taking your job to a whole new level to discover how you can lead from the position your are in.  It is also about discovering your passion and purpose.  In this episode Dr. Colburn also takes you through his “story” technique on how you can discover the talents that you may be overlooking.  And it is those talents that you may not even realize that you have that could be the difference in living out your passion and your purpose.  And it all starts with you and what you “can” do, and what you “will” do.  Own Your Job is available at Amazon and where ever books are sold.

        The easiest thing for us to do as leaders is rely on what worked in the past.  But let’s be honest there is not guarantee what we have done in the past will produce success in the future.  We also need to face the reality that as businesses change, younger generations, enter our businesses, our leadership needs to be more fluid, adaptable and innovative.  As a leader you cannot expect your business to change if your leadership doesn’t change.  This is the insanity of leadership.  Doing the same things you have always done as a leader and expecting things to change among your followers.  It simply never works.  So what do we need to do?  Take your leadership to the next level.

        Maureen Metcalf joins us again on this episode of A New Direction.  Maureen Metcalf, is the Founder, CEO, and Board Chair of the Innovative Leadership Institute.  She is a one of the most sought-after experts in anticipating and leveraging future business trends and leadership to transform organizations.   She is also the author of the book the “Innovative Leaders Guide to Transforming Organizations“.  As Maureen so adeptly points out any change that is going to occur is going to start with leadership.  However, leaders will not change unless they have the awareness that they need to change.  This is not always easy.  That is because leaders are in fact human.  And as humans go we do not like change.  What is worse we are often reluctant to change ourselves.  It can also be a challenge for us as leaders to break our old habits and replace them with new habits.  The question as leaders we need to ask ourselves is: How Innovative do I want to be and am willing to be?  Depending on your answer will determine quickly if you are in fact going to transform your organization.  Innovative Leaders Guide is a great read for anyone in leadership.  Whether you have been leading for one year or a hundred, it will be a great tool in your leadership tool chest.
