    WATERLINE ARTICLE #2: Meet them where they are, not where you want them to be.
    Rather than swaying people to be where you want them to be, we have to make it about the other party first. You can do this by focusing on their goals and dreams, learning their pain points that are blocking them from reaching those, and truly meet them where they are. This can be applied across life and business, so settle in and join Scott for this episode to learn more about the importance of meeting people where they are and how you can do so better.
    CONTEXT ON THIS SERIES
    In 1917, T.E. Lawrence, who you might know as Lawrence of Arabia overthrew the Ottoman Turks in WWI in modern-day Iraq and Syria, using strategic human connections at the local level. He did so by going into tribal environments and creating a level of trust that unified various tribes around one thing that they could all agree on through storytelling of ‘what could be.’ He wanted to help others who followed behind him do the same so he wrote The 27 Articles to share with them.
    Scott has taken these Lawrencian skills and adapted them to the Rooftop Leadership methodology and in this series will share the 27 Waterline Articles for the Rooftop Leader with you so that you are better equipped to lead through the disengagement, distrust, and distraction brought on by prolonged isolation, low trust, and uncertainty. If you’ll lean into these and integrate them into your life and business, you will be more attuned to the people you lead and be able to look at human behavior in a new way that allows you to lead at a higher level.

  • Waterline Article #1: Define Your Redlines Before You Engage.

    Redlines are lines that you’re not willing to cross and past them, you are prepared to be coercive. On the battlefield, this looks like surgical lethality but in business, this can look like the willingness to let someone go or simply to make the hard decisions for the benefit of the collective. Join Scott for this episode to learn more about the importance of redlines and how they can make you more relevant and relatable to the people you lead.

  • The Myth of Soft Skills

    There are many people in the modern leadership arena, who throw around the term, “Soft Skills” when talking about human connection. That’s a bad idea, and those who do that in these low-trust times are about to lose the mic to the Rooftop Leaders who actually put those skills at the apex of leadership and relevance. Join us in this episode to turn the myth of “soft skills” into what we call “Lawrencian Skills.”

  • Getting Below the Waterline (ft. Dr. Ivan Tyrrell)

    Today’s business arena is fast-paced, disconnected, and filled with change. Modern society moves so fast and our ancient brains struggle to make sense of all the mass technology, materialism, and other distractors that isolate us from our neighbor, our teammates, and even our family. But, here’s the good news. That’s not in our nature to do this. We are actually wired to be social. In fact, there are a whole host of innate needs known as the Human Givens that world renown psychologist and thought leader Doctor Ivan Tyrrell has written about in his game changing book “The Human Givens.” Understanding these Givens is something most leaders don’t do but for those who do, it’s a decisive competitive advantage in establishing relevance with those you lead. Join us below the waterline of modern human behavior for this hard-hitting episode.

  • Nobody Else is Coming

    Do you look around at many of the problems we’re facing today and just scratch your head? What’s happened? How did we get to such a place where we are so divided against one another? Where we don’t feel safe speaking our mind to the people we once held trust with? Where everything seems so chaotic, and we are just at the whim of leaders who don’t show up? What if I told you no one is coming? What if I told you that those leaders we’ve been looking to for decades are not up to the task and have actually contributed to this lack of trust? A new wind is blowing across the country and social change is afoot. It’s going to be a wild ride, but a great ride for those who recognize, that no one else is coming. It’s just us. Give a listen, to learn more.
