The Leadersmith

The pandemic has changed the business landscape. In this episode, I review an Inc. Magazine article: This company is Paying for Unemployed Americans to Train as Health Care Workers. (https://www.inc.com/tim-crino/careacademy-ankur-jain-kairos-health-care.html). I read the entire article with my own additional commentary. I have never read an entire article on the podcast before, but this one deserves to be read in its totality. It is the pathway to thriving in this new economy.  I hope it helps you gain an advantage in turbulent times.

In this episode, I have a conversation with Chad Zueck of A New Kind of Man Podcast.

I asked Chad about his insights about leadership from running the podcast and the guests that he has interviewed. He provided some timely insight that can help you become a better leader.

The great philosopher Forrest Gump said, “My momma always said, ‘Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.’” On Twitter Tuesday, that is true. Each Twitter Tuesday, I discuss a handful of quotes about leadership and unpack them. I pre-select useful quotes; I do not just read my twitter feed—and I will give credit to the author of the quote, the person who posted, or both where possible. This week, I again collected #leadership quotes and comments from Parler (Twitter for Conservatives who left Twitter as they were being censored). I really like these quotes and I hope you will too.

10 QUESTIONS TO DETERMINE THE STRENGTH OF YOUR BUSINESS MODEL [EPISODE 76]

Is your business sustainable? How do you know how strong it actually is? In this episode, I will talk about how to diagnose where you stand.

The backbone of this discussion comes from an Inc. magazine article entitled: These 9 Questions Will Tell You If You Have a Great Business Model  (https://www.inc.com/jim-schleckser/these-nine-questions-will-tell-you-if-you-have-a-great-business-model.html)

I added an additional question because I can. After all, it is my show.

My goal is to help you become the kind of leader that you would want to follow and understanding your business is an important part of leadership.

In this episode, I want to talk about the historical origins of management as a discipline. I will talk about how the discipline was shaped and by the time I am done, you might understand why your manager acts the way that he does.

We will talk about the history of management, with special attention to the contribution of Henri Fayol. You will learn why every management book now describes the functions of management as planning, leading, organizing, and controlling.

In this episode, I talk about Zoom Fatigue. Google it. There are more than 95 million results for Zoom Fatigue. I explain what it is and how to prevent it using articles from TED and Harvard Business Review.

Here are the articles I mentioned in this episode:

TED: https://ideas.ted.com/zoom-fatigue-is-real-heres-why-video-calls-are-so-draining/

HBR: https://hbr.org/2020/04/how-to-combat-zoom-fatigue

The long and the short is that working from home and video conferencing creates a new kind of tired. You need to know how to adjust if you are going to be productive and engaged at work and then be there for your friends and family.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS THE LAST WEEK WHERE I AM DOING DAILY EPISODES. I have done 5 per week since the day after graduation, but classes begin again next week. I will put out episodes on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday as we move forward. If you feel like you are lacking, please listen to back episodes. Most of them are evergreen. Leadership is as important now as it was when I discussed it in a previous episode.
