On this episode of The Lead Up Podcast, Mike has Quint Studer back for another appearance to discuss more about leadership and compassion in organizations.

Quint begins by talking about how he has changed from using engagement to using Love and explains how love is holding people accountable. Quint shares how he approaches holding people accountable, always asking for permission and ensuring they know it’s his perception or opinion.

 Quint also tells us how he feels it is important to be a life-long learner as the world is always changing, and how his curiosity has helped with this.

When Mike asks why the health care industry is so special, Quint shares his beliefs that the people in the industry are so driven by values, which is hard to come by in a society that has become transactional. Quint thinks we need to create a society that makes people feel good.

Leading on from this, Quint tells us about a survey he does where he asks How consistent the leadership is and how effective is the organization at identifying and implementing best practices, the latter usually scoring poorly. He explains to us that fixing the second question takes care of the first one and also explains how analytics like this can be very useful to organizations.

Coming towards the end of this episode, Quint speaks about breaking the stigma of asking for help, stating that we need to recognize and reward people who seek help, but also hold those who don’t accountable.

 Quint has a conference coming up on the 22nd and 23rd of February which you can attend virtually or in-person in Pensacola, Florida for just $250 per person which is designed to replenish yourself, your team, and your organization. This conference is for anyone who touches healthcare but can be just as beneficial for those who don’t. Quint doesn’t want money to be an issue so he offers a 100% money-back guarantee if you don’t think the conference is valuable. You can find out all the information right here: www.RYTOConference.com

You can also head to gratitudegroup.com for a wellness and replenishment toolkit you can use for your organization.

In Episode 261 You Don't Have Time Not to Grow I am sharing the importance of being intentional with your growth.

With so many things coming at us right now with news, social media, and the simple craziness going on around us we have to be careful with what we consume.

We are responsible for our growth and what we feed our minds. As leaders, we must make time to add value to ourselves so that we can add value to those we lead.

Listening to The LeadUp Podcast or other leadership podcasts is a great way to grow on your commute or while working out. We offer book summaries for you each week so that you can watch and get the biggest takeaways- maybe do this on your lunch break.  

There really are so many options to grow now in your leadership that there are no good excuses as to why you aren't doing it. 

This is episode 260 and we had a guest Interview with Alain Hunkins discussing Cracking the Leadership Code.

People are seeking leadership more than ever. It has never been more important that leaders continue to grow in their leadership.

I am sharing 3 things to help you grow as a leader.

We as leaders need to start with why. Because the what has quit working. What got us in the leadership role no longer works. We have to start leading from our why.

The dissatisfaction rate is at an all-time high in the workplace.

Until you understand why growth is important, you will keep doing the same thing that you have been doing and getting the same results.

People do not want to be led by trial and error leaders- that is why you have to continue to grow.

Listen to this entire episode to learn the in-depth reasons why your leadership growth is so important.

In this episode, we are joined by special guest, Julien Mirivel.

Julien is a Professor of Communication at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. Originally from France, Julien came to America as an exchange student. This experience created a love for his new country and what he would do with the rest of his life. 

The need to learn a new language to communicate with others helped him develop new relationships.

Julien says we have to take into consideration that when we communicate there are emotions involved. If we have had a conflict with someone it makes communication harder than with someone without conflict. 

The art of communication takes place by learning techniques that you can apply to everyday life. The art of communication is flexibility and the science are the things that work that we find in research. 

He points out that you have to become aware of your tendencies to overcome them and replace them with new strategies.

In this episode of The LeadUp Podcast Mike talks about Defeating the Great Resignation.

The number of people who are poised to leave their current employer is over 60%. That is an outrageous number. During the pandemic, the "workplace" changed. Many people started working from home and were able to get more done with fewer distractions and some just enjoyed being able to walk to the next room instead of commuting. 

Do you know what the cost of losing 60% of your team looks like? Do you know what it looks like to even lose 1 member of your team? It costs on average 3-10 times the person's salary to replace a team member.

We all have the desire to change but do we use our will to do it. Willpower is what we have to use in order to change and adapt our leadership style to defeat this great resignation.

Ask yourself- if someone leaves your company will they find one better? If someone comes and joins your team will it be better than what they left?

Listen to find out how you can defeat this great resignation.
