Thought Revolution

This episode explores the difference between Leadership & Management. Chris poses that management DOES NOT need leadership, but leadership NEEDS management. What does he mean? Listen in to find out!

Some highlights from the episode:

- Leadership is a creating a future that otherwise would NOT have happened.

1. It's always about the FUTURE.

2. That future is CREATED.

3. That future is CHOSEN.

- Most of us, most of the time just live into the next moment without choosing it. That's existing.

- When you choose a future and have a big goal, you are creating an imbalance for you AND your team. You have to let go of being "balanced" or for things to go back to being "normal." Instead you have to redefine what your new "normal" is and "choose" it.

Do your commitments determine your reality?

Or does your reality (circumstances) determine your commitments?

Breaking through limits starts by being clear on what holds us back. This episode offers a foundation for a life with new limits. . . or none!

Some highlights from the episode:

- Leadership is a CHOICE, and it requires a continual re-choosing.

- Comfort is a default. It requires no effort on our part.

- When we don't exercise leadership effectively in ONE AREA of our lives, it has an impact on other areas.

- The foundation of being leader and breaking limits starts with commitment. It doesn't end here, but it starts here. Most of us haven't declared for ourselves what we're committed to, so exercising leadership is hard and can be ineffective.

Every day we are creating our legacy. . . leaving an impact on our team and co-workers. Is it by design or default?

Exercising leadership starts with choosing what we are committed to. . . choosing what we want for our day, our career, our lives.

Some highlights from the episode:

- Choosing your legacy doesn't have to be hard. It isn't something discovered, it's something you create/choose.

- We already create an impact whether we know it or not, whether we like it or not. Choosing is more fun.

- Are we clear how we will know if we're having the impact we intend? It's not as hard as you think.

- Leadership is amplified or eroded by our systems. Install your systems (4 Keys, 4 Disciplines) to amplify your leadership.

Are you producing the outcomes you expect?

Today Chris interviews Cindy McMahon from the City of Seattle to explore how she applied the 4 Disciplines of Daily Management with her team and the impact it had on their performance.

Some highlights from the episode:

- How this team made very "invisible work", visible

- How to be data-driven without beating people with numbers and graphs

- Cindy's team went from a 10% on-time rate to 96% on-time rate in just 3 months. . . without adding more resources. Just a better process to create better results.

- The key to results: Focusing on how to MANAGE THE PROCESS, which is usually the "hidden process"

Are you becoming the team you were meant to be? It's not easy, but it's possible!

Today Chris interviews Adrienne Easter from the City of Seattle to explore how she is applying the 4 Disciplines of Daily Management and the impact it is having on her team and their performance.

Some highlights from the episode:

- Seeing hidden work = Freeing hidden capacity.

- The key to continuous team alignment is SEEING the work. . . together.

- Adrienne's team went from a 16% on-time rate to 82% on-time rate WITHOUT having to engage in large scale improvement workshops, forming committees, or death by meeting. Just a daily commitment to making the work visible, making it move, making obstacles visible. . . and holding fast & focused meetings to align & improve.

Leading change isn't just about changing processes and systems. The most misunderstood variable is the POWER OF CONTEXT.

Here are some of the frameworks Chris introduces:

- What limits us is not our circumstances, but what we SAY about our circumstances

- We don't say what we see. . . We tend to see what we say [in our minds]

- We can't create new ways of seeing our situation (new possibilities) with our teams until we "complete the past"

- Leaders need to master keeping the drumbeat of possibility steady. One way is to see when we are losing our sense of possibility. Chris calls this the "Danger Zone" and explains how to see it & remove it.

Principles are the cornerstone of performance. Here's why:

1. Principles govern, with some predictability, what the outcome will be for our performance.

2. Principles provide the reason, the purpose, the "why" we do what we do . . . because they lead to certain consequences.

In this episode, Chris helps you get clear on principles and how they govern performance.

Here are some of the frameworks Chris introduces:

- Values govern behavior. Principles govern consequence.

- You must define how your people live the principles AND anchor them to your systems

- Strong leaders build systems. Watch this short video on "Culture Mapping" to help you assess your team https://youtu.be/7p0sfqtW20Y

Today Chris shares his framework for high performance-- a focus on consciously designing and driving team culture. If you've struggled with your team's culture, this episode will breakdown how to create the culture you want.

Some highlights from the episode:

- Most teams focus on WHAT is needed to achieve a result. The key to consistent and sustainable results requires a focus on HOW to achieve results.

- A focus on behavior, not results is the game. Being able to quantify how you achieved a result is a powerful determinant of future performance.

- Leaders declare the culture, describe how people live it, then leverage systems to drive those behaviors.

I can't wait to share how to create compelling team engagement AND build continuous accountability with your strategic goals. It's not only possible, you can take action to make it happen NOW.

Some highlights from the episode:

- We don't say what we see. . . we see what we say [is possible]. If what we say/think is impossible, then all we see is 'impossibility.' Think from a possibility-based mindset.

- Scoreboards, NOT dashboards, are the key to goal engagement. Chris breaks down the difference.

- Building continuous accountability requires continuous routines and attention on consciously creating impact. Chris introduces a routine to make that happen.
