The Leader To Leader Podcast with Mark Slemons

Man, we are close to two years of Leader to Leader podcasts. Next episode is the two-year anniversary. If you knew the difficulty at different points during that two-year journey, you would be as amazed as I am that I never missed releasing an episode during this time. And, actually, that’s meaningless. It doesn’t make […]

This week, I touch on a sensitive topic. It’s one that could be uncomfortable based on your circumstances. How many times have you had the recognition that you need to set limits or establish boundaries, yet have NO idea where or how to start? I came across a blog post on the Crisis Prevention Institute […]

If you are a Fleetwood Mac fan, I probably just tossed you back about 40 years. Don’t Stop Thinking About Tomorrow was actually on their album Rumours that released in 1977. This song certainly wasn’t about leadership. Actually, there was a pretty consistent flow of drama in that band and in the relationships between band […]

Have you ever heard someone ask a version of this question: Why do I frequently fail to connect? Why do I struggle to create a genuine, authentic, honest-to-goodness connection? It feels so elusive! You and I both know that 1,000 Facebook friends or 10,000 Twitter followers will not equate to a single, solitary, authentic connection. […]

Has this podcast taken a decided turn to fantasy? Instead of leading in business will we now begin discussing leading a group of treasure seeking dwarves into the dark hollows of J. R. R. Tolkien’s Middle Earth? Will we investigate the types of drakes and worms guarding their hoards of gold? It’s entertaining for sure, […]

So what is your definition of success? I mentioned in Episode 95 one of the best definitions that I’ve ever heard.

Peter Drucker famously said that what gets measured gets improved. So the next logical question is whether we are measuring the right things. If you saw the movie Moneyball, then you will immediately understand the point. Babe Ruth is considered one of, and possibly the greatest, hitter of all time. But his batting average was […]

When I say stress, I have to believe that your immediate response is not one of “oh, yes, I think I’ll start my day with a little dose of it just to get it started right.” Is stress a friend to you or more likely, do you perceive it as a foe? Most of us […]
