  • 43. Influence Series

    Influence and Persuasion are powerful tools that we can and should use while managing our teams. While these topics may make some uncomfortable, the tools of persuasion are natural within human psychology and are taking place even if we are unaware of them.

    As a Psychological Warfare profession, I was well-trained in using these tools and employed them throughout PSYOP campaigns.

    Now as a leader of teams, I see them through a different framework and have taken the lessons to be the best leader possible.

    In this series, we’ll be exploring the work of Robert Cialdini in his seminal work “Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion”.

    Discover these incredible tools and how you can use them while leading your team.

  • 39. Fractional vs. Operational

    There are many different ways to bring operational support onto your team. If you’re like more small businesses, you need someone immersed in the day-to-day of the company. Someone to directly take tasks off the CEOs desk and lead the team.

    That’s where an Operator can really help you.

    I noticed that many are being recommended to look for fractional COOs or fractional Integrators for their businesses.

    While that has its place, today I’ll discuss why I don’t recommend that as the first step.

  • 38. Your Results Are A Reflection Of Your Commitments

    What does it mean to be truly committed to an outcome? To fully dedicate yourself to the end result? It’s far too easy to swing around to whatever shiny objects we come across rather than follow through on our plans.

    But when it’s all over, the results that we achieve are ours to own. If you’re not happy with your results, review your commitment to achieving them.

    Today we’ll go into some psychology being goal setting and how to best optimize our life by having a greater focus on fewer priorities.

    And how’s there’s a particular magic number that’s been proven to give you the best chance of success.
