Leadership Improvement – Jay Izso

I have read and heard it said from numerous coaches and experts, “the only thing you can control is your attitude and your effort”. My guest on A New Direction Rick Miller would add one more to those two true statements…Being Chief, because after all it is a choice, not a title.

Rick Miller is an author true of the book Be Chief: It’s a Choice, Not a Title, but Rick Miller’s experience of turning companies around such as AT & T, and Lucent Technologies (just name two) proves that this is more than just a title of a book…it is the reality that each one of us possess the power to “Be Chief“. It matter not what your title is, or what your job is, or what level you are, or how old you are, or how much knowledge you have accumulated…the fact is you have the power within you to be chief.

In Episode 28 of A New Direction Rick Miller literally gives away the secrets to being chief. If fact if you go to www.bechief.com you can take the quiz to help you find your power compass to determine your direction, helps you understand how your values when aligned make you more powerful, and also provides us with some inside secrets such i3k. Wait, what? i3k is a an elegantly powerful and simple tool when it comes to people that you hire. Okay, I will let the cat out of the bag…intelligence, integrity, intensity, and kindness, but you will need to listen to how to apply these back to you and your business.

This episode is powerful you will want to listen to it over and over again. No matter who you are there is something here for you! It will inspire you, motivate you, and if you apply what Rick Miller is saying it will in fact change you!

The book “Be Chief: It’s a Choice, Not a Title, is available for sale in your favorite format and available at every book store so if they do not have it on the shelf just ask for it. Here is the real beauty of this book…every dollar that Rick makes from the book is being donated to “Children with special needs” by purchasing Be Chief you not only will be helping yourself, you will be helping others as well…and that does make you powerful.

I have heard it said by managers, “managing people is like herding cats”.  Well, if you have ever been in a position to manage people you know that it can be a difficult task.  However, if you have the right trainer and with some regular practice you can manage people effectively and you can become the manager you always hoped you would be.

Ralph Peterson, marine, management trainer, and author discusses different aspects of being a manager, and how you can improve, based on his book “Congratulations! Now Get Over Yourself: Confessions of a Management Development Coach”.

In Episode 24 of A New Direction Ralph and I take a glimpse through the different stories he relates through his book and freely gives you some of the timeless and priceless lessons that will help you be a better manager, be a better employee, be a better CEO, and honestly be a better leader.

So many people talk about leadership, but how does that really translate into everyday life?  What about the language of leadership?  Is Leadership Language only used in the business world or can we apply it to our whole life?

In Episode 17 of A New Direction I talk with Author, Business Consultant, Keynote Speaker, Advisor to the “sharks”, Chris Westfall. (see www.westfallonline.com).  Chris has a new book published by Wiley publishers entitle “Leadership Language – Using Authentic Communication to Drive Results”

Before you even think this book is only for business people, CEO’s and such, you would be wrong.  This book is for everyone!  If you are single it will speak to you about dating, if you are married how to better lead in your marriage, if you are janitor it will speak to you how to lead from what ever position in life you are in…and yes, even you CEO, COO, CFO, CTO or what ever C-suite you are in it will speak to you as well.

Chris and I discuss topics such as what do leaders think, redefining leadership, what is it you have that makes you a leader, why is creativity the number one desired quality in a leader,  who sits in the empty chair and so much more!

“Leadership Language is delicious, you will be dipping your brain bread in the sauce of the book and licking your fingers…it is that great of a book” ~Jay Izso
