The Transformational Leader

On this week's mid-week episode, tune in as Adam begins his discussion on Ontological Leadership, so that you can cut through the noise of ordinary leadership and lead transformationally.

In this episode, we will talk about the ontology of the nursing profession. We will discuss what is happening in the profession and how we can change it up and go differently.

In the medical profession, especially in the nursing profession, we see a lot of the qualities of generosity and contribution. A lot of people have a great deal of quality of generosity or contribution.

These are people for whom they existentially lit up by the act of being generous. Giving to others regardless of what they might get feels good. They want to do that. It's just who they are.

As they grow up, they learn to become afraid of being not enough or they are too much. The flavor of not being enough for generosity is that you are selfish, and the flavor of being too much is like being unpleasant or overwhelming.

Listen and know why too much generosity can be a recipe for resentment leading to selfishness. Enjoy the show!

Typically, micromanaging is when you have someone good with the tools, and they move to a higher position. Once they move to a position where they are managing other people and their job is to support people to do their work, they have a degree of derivation or removal from the issue they have. Later, they delegate stuff and tell you what you need to do more or ask if you have done it every 30 seconds.

The impact of being micromanaged is that we are left feeling untrusted and controlled.

Micromanaging is one of those things that we need to acknowledge the way it exists in society. It exists as a label that we slap across the face of someone we don't like.

Listen as we dive deep into what is the being behind micromanagement and what is happening when you have yourself or someone else micromanaging. Enjoy the show!

In this episode of The Transformational Leader, we talked about confidence. How does a leader gain confidence? A lot of leaders would relate to themselves as having confidence. What we get is a lack of self-trust and confidence.

What a leader needs is a deeper level of confidence. A level of confidence that we call sovereignty. The ability to let feedback in and find our true north in the midst of that.

When we are confident in ourselves, we can explore doubt and check it. Leaders who can do this become more transformative because they can receive people, and people feel listened to.

Listen as we talk about how to develop confidence, and how this shows up in leaders. Enjoy the show!

The advice that we hear non-stop is that you need to be authentic to be a leader. Most people are frustrated because they are authentic to the team, yet it is still not working.

There are stages of authenticity a leader walks through. The first stage is when you focus on making everyone around you feel okay. The second stage is you go from keeping yourself to allowing it to be spoken out loud. At this stage, people are transparent. And for the third stage, you move beyond authenticity of self as your sole goal. Leaders must walk through these three stages.

Listen as we dive deep into these stages. Why is it happening, and where authenticity is important? Enjoy the show!

On this week's mid-week episode, tune in as Adam discusses what's next for the Live Show, the process of developing leadership, and more!

The leader needs to be humble. We love that as a concept, but what we do is we try to conduct ourselves in a way that we deem humble to avoid being humbled.

The irony is that people will talk about how important it is to be humble as a leader. But then, we are actively taking every possible step to avoid the experience of being humbled.

Being humbled is not an easy experience. To be humbled, we must be willing to confront and face our arrogance. We end up empowering others to not step into the spotlight ourselves.

Some people are so allergic to the idea that they might be arrogant and hide behind the safety of this performative humility. Sometimes, what a leader needs to do is to empower while holding the spotlight. Sometimes, what a leader needs to do is to be the one who stands and allows themselves to be praised and take credit.

Listen as you learn more about humble leadership, servant leadership, and more! Enjoy the show!

On this week's mid-week episode, tune in as Adam discusses The Art of Possibility, Slowing down and being with our/other's process, Is resistance necessary?, Podcast lessons and takeaways, and more!

Fear is the earliest emotional state. It has been with us from the very beginning. It is essential for your survival and is the primary mechanism by which you've arrived at this point in your life.

The role of fear is very simple: It is to do whatever you must do to ensure that you stay in the realm that you are completely comfortable in and familiar with.

One of the ways that fear is effective is it creates a mechanism by which we learn to become afraid of being afraid.

What we don't typically do is bring much of any reverence to fear. We usually dismiss it and try to set it aside.

Listen as you will know what is the underlying way of being of the fear and how it works. Enjoy the show!

"I made a mistake, and I'm never going to make that mistake again. I will do my best so that mistake never again occurs." These are the words we say when we make a mistake.

Most of the time, we force ourselves to be a master of something that we don't want to be. When that ability to perform comes from our hearts, and we just love doing it and wanting to be better, that is a beautiful thing. But what if our unwillingness to let ourselves off the hook becomes the fuel of our performance?

Listen as Adam Quiney will discuss more about this topic, the leadership, and the 'Gate of Suck.' Enjoy the show!
