Join in on this panel discussion on what it's like to be on the other side, and how to prepare yourself for the transition.

Listen in on a conversation with the CEO of GiANT Worldwide, Jeremie Kubicek.

Toxic Leadership is about as rare as unicorns, or yetis and that Toxic Followers are merely a reflection of the greenhouse they’ve grown up in.  I believe that the true problem is accidental, or toxic culture and that despite all of our best efforts, it continues to grow around us like weeds.  

Leadership is more than the ability to influence people to move from point A, to point B. To truly be a leader worth following, we have to have a plan to intentionally transfer our soft, or people skills to the sub-leaders in our lives. When we fail to intentionally develop their soft-skills, we doom them to learn the same way that we did. Through trial and error.

I struggle to maintain optimal mental health, and Last month was a particular dark month for me. Like many of you listening, at times I deal with anxiety, panic attacks, and even agoraphobia, or the fear of going outside.  There were two particularly dark weeks in December where I just couldn’t break out of the depression, I was in.  Rather than roll over and give in, we took some time off to reorient, and look at what we refer to in GiANT as our Peace Index. 

Looking back on all of the leaders I have ever worked for, the only ones that I remember in a positive light are the leaders that I felt were completely, and unapologetically in my corner! If you want to reach your potential as a leader, then every single person in your area of influence… up and down, must feel without a shadow of a doubt that you are for them. In this episode we explore how to make that happen!

There is a big effort to understand what is wrong in the Military right now. The general consensus seems to be that people don’t feel valued, they feel they are under toxic leadership and in toxic environments and that this is endangering both resilience and readiness! In this episode we are going to address where I think the problem lies, and what we can start doing about it today.

Thank you for your service!

Most of us are super saturated and pre-occupied with our tasks, families, and lives. It can be a real challenge to intentionally create an environment where everyone in our circle feels heard, valued and appreciated. We often have a tendency to focus on the immediate and leave the most vulnerable behind. Intentionally celebrating those around us builds resiliency, mental health, loyalty, and increases productivity.
