Reflections on Leadership episodes

  • 2019 Top Five Episodes

    Here we are at the close of another year. Was it everything you expected? More, or less?

    You know by now, you can’t simply wish things into being. You have to WORK things into being.

    The Reflections on Leadership podcast’s aim is to challenge your perspective, provide inspiration, and to give insights to help you manage better and lead well.

    This year was a very good year for the show. We conducted 20 interviews with leaders from all walks of life, doubled the total number of downloads, reached a wider audience, and posted 99 episodes. This one is number 100.

    What follows are the five most popular episodes from 2019. They are, 3 Words, Diversity, Leading Rebels, How to Apologize, and Do you run a learning organization?

    At Karl Bimshas Consulting, our vision is to create environments where great leaders outnumber lousy leaders, and better leadership is the norm, not the exception. Your support of the Reflections on Leadership podcast helps move us even closer to that vision. Thank you and have a happy new year!

  • Leadership Advent: Part Four
    When you reflect on each of the questions in this final installment and then take action, you're going to be a better leader than you are right now. Period.
    19. How could you reward the efforts of others?
    20. How could you provide valuable continuous feedback?
    21. How could you give credit and take the blame more often?
    22. How could you clearly share your vision?
    23. How could you become more flexible when conditions change?
    24. How could you better focus on a great goal?
    Hopefully, you’ve answered each of the twenty-four questions in this series. If you have, I know you’re a stronger leader than when you started. If you haven’t gotten to them all yet, that’s okay, go back and review. Do the work; that’s what it takes to advance confidently in the direction of your dreams. Do me a favor, and make sure you help others along the way.
