Leading Hope with Kevin Jack

We have so emphasized leading well that most of us have no idea how to follow well.

Good Followers think overall impact while focusing on personal responsibility.

– Without it we create silos.

– Without it we create suspicion.

– Without it we stunt the growth of future leaders.

You need ways of allowing your team to give input to the macro-vision, while being held accountable for what they are responsible for.

Leaders need to create followers.

The Best Leaders make the best followers.

The Follower understands it’s not about you, but it starts with you.

The True Leader understands they lead in how they follow, and when they follow they can lead.

The mark of development is movement.

The 3 Movements:

Move Up: Most obvious

– Promoted or Doing different things in your job.

– If they’re doing the same job, in the same way, with the same impact- development hasn’t taken place.

Move Around:

– Development will either create clarity on current skills or awareness of new skills that will lead to different positions.

– Don’t let people be stuck: in or behind!

Move Out:

– If you’re wanting to know if development is taking place you need to ask: What’s different? Is this a good thing, or not.

– If it’s the same: there’s no development.

What You Have to Do:

– Regular meeting Time: Frequency of meetings changes based upon size of the gap.

– Desired Level & Current Reality.

– Clear Conversations around those two & the progress you’re making: goal fo the conversation is to help them close the gap.

Functionally 1,000 conversations

– Here’s where you are

– Here’s where you hit the bullseye: keep doing this

– Here’s where it’s falling short: might need to think different, develop a skill, etc.

Values Needed:

– Trust

– Clarity & Honesty

– Pathway to Get There

The reason why you’re not further isn’t a skill set.

Most of the things that hold us back are good things that become misapplied contextually.

Where it will fail:

You: Unclear

Them: Lack Growth Mindset

Information is no longer transmitted relationally.

We develop like the internet doesn’t exist and information isn’t accessible.

We must shift from “teach them something” to “help them become something”.

The Developer is not an importer of information, they are a shaper of character.

To Develop in the 21st Century you need 2 things:

– Proximity

– Intentionality

Have a goal greater than being entertaining.

One of the greatest impacts that you can make when you have a microphone is shaping culture, and I believe one of the easiest ways to shape culture is through public speaking.

Your preparation must ensure that you don’t just say what you want to say, but you say it how you want to say it.

Make your tone mirror your desired culture.

Pro Tip: Count the number of people in the room and multiply it by the time you are spending speaking. Take the time you are consuming into consideration when you’re determining your preparation level.

Prepare in a way that allows your personality to come through.
