Thank you, Todd Henry, for taking time talking to us about the evolution of his career and his book Herding Tigers.

Doing the Work and Leading the Work are very different skills.

Having a development plan for ALL of the people in your organization is necessary for long-term success.

Make it a priority to encourage your team to speak up--be aware of your team's "Ghost Rules."

Great culture is GROWN, not built.

Three questions to ask your team during a brainstorming session: Is it effective? Is it practical? Is it cool?

November 28, 2018How to Measure and Develop Your Emotional Intelligence
With emotional intelligence responsible for 80% of our success, it's important for leaders at all levels to be intentional about developing their emotional intelligence. Fortunately, we are able to improve our EQ with hard work and focus.
What is EQ? The authors of Emotional Intelligence 2.0 describe it as, “Your ability to recognize and understand emotions in yourself and others, and your ability to use this awareness to manage your behavior and relationships.”
We recommend sending out an anonymous survey to your peers to see if they agree or disagree with the statements below.
I feel comfortable approaching my leader for help when needed
My leader listens when I provide them with feedback that is about them
My leader is proactive in helping me when I need it
My leader effectively managers conflict on the team and with their peers
I see my leader ask for help when they need it
Join the conversation by following @MrJacobEspi on Twitter and Instagram. You can also join a community of motivated leaders on our Facebook group at www.JacobEspinoza.com/podcast.
We look forward to helping you become a better boss, growing your business and helping your people reach their goals.

Bonus! Susan David’s TED Talk! :)

November 13, 2018 Mindset Moves: How to Find Success in a Growth Mindset
New Leader Workshop is all about proving New Leaders with an opportunity to grow and get better. Let's start with Carol Dweck's book Mindset.
It is important for us as Leaders to understand how a Growth Mindset and Fixed Mindset are different and why it impacts how we interact with new challenges, feedback, and hard work.

Challenges
Growth Mindset: Challenges are worth it because even when we fail, we will learn and get better. A person with this perspective is willing to accept potential failure and understands that if they aren’t failing, they aren’t growing. New challenges are about the opportunity to get better and not about what people think about us.

Fixed Mindset: New challenges are only an opportunity to look bad. A person with this perspective will not want to take on new challenges. They’ll want to stick with what they know because doing something new can be risky and lead to failure.

Feedback
Growth: Feedback is a chance to grow. It is not about defining who we are in the present, it is about helping us be and do better in the future. We understand that we are nowhere near our potential and will always say “thank you” when someone makes an effort to help us by providing us feedback.

Fixed: Takes feedback personally and gets defensive. A person with this mindset is only interested in hearing what they do well. When someone provides constructive criticism, they are quick to explain how the feedback doesn’t apply or focus on how the feedback is being presented instead of looking for the value in how it can help them grow.

Hard Work
Growth: Hard work is not only worth it, it is necessary for us to reach our potential. Big changes don’t happen overnight. We understand the value in developing good habits and how consistency and sacrifice are worth the long-term rewards.

Fixed: There is no point in working hard. They think some people are successful and others are not. They argue that hard work is worthless because they don’t see the benefit.

As leaders, it is important that we see the potential in the people around us and in ourselves. Remember: your mindset is not fixed, and it can change depending on the situation. Self-awareness is key.

November 06, 2018 Episode 1: Why your team should be using SMART Goals
In today's episode, we talk about why it is important to organize your plans in SMART format.
SMART is an acronym:
Specific
Measurable
Actionable
Realistic/Reward
Timely
Simply put, when putting a plan together make sure each step is specific, actionable and has a timeline.
It is also important for you to determine how you will measure progress before taking action. If you don't have a way to measure progress, it will be impossible to quantify how successful the plan has been.
Ideally, meetings with individuals on your team will allow them to collaborate and be problem solvers. Helping people leaders in your organization create SMART plans will help them develop skills as strategic thinkers while ensuring the tactics they create for their departments are aligned with the strategies of the organization.
