What is your perception of military leadership?
Military leadership doesn’t come from rank. It also isn’t about barking orders or command & control type of authority.
Stephen Morris joins us on the podcast today to share his experience in Army Ranger School and his time training leadership in armies around the world.
I’m certain he will clear up some of your misconceptions about military leadership.
Having retired now from the Army, Stephen is teaching leadership through his company, Renowned Leadership. You can find out more about Stephen at renownedleadership.com.
And you just have to check out Stephen’s new podcast. He started the podcast with his dad soon after we recorded this episode. Stephen told me about how he considers his dad a great leader and how you have the opportunity to learn from both of them.

What does it mean to you to positively impact the lives of those you lead?
You’ve heard me mention before my mission to help you positively impact business results and the lives of those you lead. What does that last part of my mission mean? Do you have a strong desire to make a real difference with your leadership?
A recent podcast guest, Aaron Walker, mentioned leading not just for success, but also leading for significance. He defines significance by the impact his leadership has on other people. Like Aaron, I want my leadership impact to reach far beyond business results.
I want those on my team to win at home, excel in life, and perform well at work. I want team members to go home each day feeling empowered and encouraged. I hope they will even talk about their great team at home and while hanging out with friends on the weekend.
I’m guessing you want to lead in this way also. In this podcast episode, I’ll tell you how to make such an impact in the lives of those you lead.

Do you have concerns about the future of your team? Does your company utilize succession planning that seems ineffective? Or maybe you’re feeling to need for additional leaders in your team, but uncertain how to develop new leaders.
Succession planning is often neglected, maybe even ignored. In cases where succession planning exists, it seems to be ineffective.
The success of a team rises and falls on leadership, so the future of your team is dependent upon succession planning. You can set your team up for success in the future with effective planning.
Effective succession planning isn’t an event, meeting, or document to complete. You may have a meeting scheduled with your leadership to review succession plans, but don’t fall victim to the illusion that a meeting represents effective succession planning.
You have to view succession planning as a daily activity. In this podcast episode, I’ll share with you activities that will ensure the future success of your team.

Do you struggle with negativity in your team? Do you often hear comments like “that won’t work because…” from team members? Or maybe you feel a real struggle to energize or excite your team about the goal you're working to achieve.
Negativity can be a cancer that robs your team of productivity, efficiency, and success. You can minimize, even eliminate, negativity in your team. You can remove this obstacle that prevents your team from achieving goals.
The key to doing so is focus. Focus is a simple concept. The difficult aspect of focus is identifying what to focus on. In this episode, I’ll identify exactly what you need to focus on in order to minimize, even eliminate, negativity in your team.

Have you ever tried to take a family vacation, but your vacation turned into a frustrating repeat of you responding to office emails, answering urgent phone calls, or trying to pull away from your laptop to spend time with your family?
I’ve been there. I’ve done that. I’ve had family vacations that I worried would end in divorce because I just couldn’t seem to devote my attention to my family while on vacation.
I understand the pressures of being a leader and the struggles of taking some time “actually” away from your team.
Your vacation time doesn’t have to follow the pattern of my past vacations. You can take a vacation of complete rest and relaxation. You can leave the laptop and phone at home, and enjoy a vacation worry-free with your family. Most importantly, you can do this without your team or business suffering from your absence. I’m going to tell you how in this episode.

It doesn’t have to feel lonely at the top.
Aaron says isolation is the enemy of excellence. In this podcast episode, he will share the secret to leadership excellence.

Do you have a team member that is underperforming, but you are afraid to give them a bad performance review?
Giving performance reviews, especially for poor performance, are typically the first scary act for a new leader.
But you can deliver a performance review that addresses poor performance and yet remain a leader that your teammate loves and wants to follow.
Forget the compliment sandwich and other similar gimmicks. Deliver a performance review with confidence that properly addresses the poor performance.

I’m often asked leadership questions that follow the form, “how would you lead in a situation where ________?” And they fill in that blank with whatever difficult situation they are facing at the time - where you need to fire a team member, you have a team member destroying the morale of the team, you have to reprimand a team member for bad behavior, and the list of difficult situations could go on forever.
I know it’s frustrating initially to the person asking me this sincere question, but I always answer that question with a question. “How would you want to be led if you were that person?”
As the person considers my question and we talk through it, the knowledge and courage to lead through their stated difficult situation become apparent.
It’s simply the golden rule applied to leadership. Taking some creative liberties with the rule, I’ve changed it up to address leadership specifically.
I’ll further explain the golden rule and its value to you as a leader in this podcast episode.
