The Kingsley Grant Show: Where Emotional Intelligence (EI/EQ) and Leadership Skills Intersect

+++ TIME TO ERASE +++

Have you ever accepted something as normal because everyone had? And when you did, was there ever a time you had some questions or doubts but did nothing about it?

Did you ever ask yourself why you didn't do or say something until someone else did?

I have on quite a few occasions.

And quite frankly, it was because I didn't know what else was there or what to do.

Having evolved and grown in knowledge, confidence, and courage, I am doing something about it.

In this episode, I challenged the accepted norm of leaders seeing their followers, as subordinates. Maybe you'll agree with me or maybe not, but I'm okay with that. Listen to find out more.

+++ DIVERSITY - THE NEW NORM +++

Diversity leadership is a hot topic in the 21st Century and rightly so. Not all leaders are skilled at diversity leadership. The sad part is that some don't even know that diversity leadership requires certain skills that they may not have. Others are trying to "force" everyone to fit into the mold they've created. And there's a small group of leaders who don't even know they are in the 21st Century. 

The need for diversity awareness has always been around. It's just that it wasn't mainstream. Now it is and we have to adjust our leadership style. But how do we do that?

In this episode you will discover how to get started and what it is the one most important skill you need to have.

+++ THE FIFTH SECRET +++

When you hear the word salesman, what comes to your mind? Notice I didn't say who, but what.

Is it the used car salesman? 

It's funny how this is where most people I've asked this question, including myself, goes. Why?

Is it because of the stories we hear of from our own experience and maybe, from both? I've had both.

How did this all get started? Have you ever wondered? 

Regardless, this impression seem to dominate the imagination of many people, which is so unfortunate, because selling is an art that we all are involved in and need to improve on.

In this episode, you'll discover the reason I make a case for leadership and salesmanship. What do they have in common? Listen in.

+++ YOU TOO +++

Have you ever wondered whether or not you could achieve something that you see others doing and after having examined how they did it, thought you never could?

On the other hand, have you done something that at first you never thought you could?

I have experienced both situations.

In this episode you'll hear me reveal something you probably never knew as I used it to create a context for how you too can succeed just as others have. You'll hear the secret to making it happen.

+++ MAKE IT SAFE +++

Imagine, you get to design what makes people more satisfied, happier, and confident. Yes, you the leader get to do that.

When people are given a safe setting to do their work, it becomes one less thing that they have to worry about, hence they are able to give more of their energy and attention to their work. This leads to more productivity and a less tense environment.

In this episode, I discuss a few ways to do that. These ideas are a small portion of what I write about in my newest book: The Emotelligent Leader- Succeed Where Others Failed.

+++ $250K INVITE +++

What if I offered you $250k for doing one thing ... increase your EQ, would that interest you? What if I told you that I would coach you into how to increase your EQ and then offer you the $250K just for agreeing and doing the work, would that interest you even more?

If you are a leader that is growth minded, which you ought to be especially in the 21st century, your answer has to be yes. Any other answer, makes me question your leadership mission.

In this episode, you'll discover what is required to make a profit of $250K and how to do so. Listen on your favorite audio platform.

+++ IT'S YOUR FAULT +++

When a leader says it is lonely at the top, what they are saying, without realizing it, is that they have failed to lead well. 

I'm sure they're not thinking that. It is their way of wanting others to somewhat feel sorry for them and to exercise patience with them; give them some grace.

Other leaders have heard the phrase parroted and may have simply adopted without giving it much thought as to what it possible means.

In this episode, I dismantled this readily accepted mantra and provided an alternative way of looking at "at the top" leadership.

The Boss? 

This term sound so positional. It is a mentality that needs to be changed. It creates a picture of a "greater than and less than". This is exactly what the mission of Emotelligence: The Art of Succeeding Where Others Failed, is trying to undo.

There are a number of terms associated with leadership that doesn't serve us, others, and/or the organization, well. It actually works against all that we are trying to accomplish.

So, what should we do?

In this episode, there are some suggestions offered but also how to identify this mindset within the culture of the organization.

How do you upgrade your emotional intelligence? What does it even mean upgrading one's emotional intelligence?

I recently went to one of my favorite fast-food joint ... Chic-Fil-A. At the register, the attendant asked me if I wanted to upgrade my order to a large from a medium. I politely said no. A medium will suffice.

I did that simply from a "watching my diet" standpoint. It was beneficial for me to say no. However, it isn't beneficial for me to say no to upgrading my EQ. 

Why?

This is one of the topics I cover in today's episode of the show. You'll discover why saying yes, is the smartest thing you could ever say.

I also mentioned that the long-awaited Emotelligent Leader book is now available on Amazon. The link is below:
