TWITTER TUESDAY #7 [EPISODE 67]
Tuesday Aug 11, 2020
Tuesday Aug 11, 2020
On 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.
I mentioned General McCrystal’s book, Team of Teams:
I also mentioned the video about the wolves: The Difference between a Boss and a Leader:

Monday Aug 10, 2020
In this episode, I want to tell you a story. It is a story about what happened to me over the weekend. If you listen, you will learn valuable lessons about trust (trust me).
Every leader needs to understand how trust works and why you distrust a leader before you even know that you should.

YOU REALLY ARE MORE TIRED WHEN YOU WORK AT HOME. HERE’S WHY. [EPISODE 65]
Friday Aug 07, 2020
Friday Aug 07, 2020
In this episode I review a few articles that discuss how remote work is harder both quantitatively and qualitatively. We are working more and the work has become more difficult (even if we can wear shorts while we do it).
This discussion draws on a number of articles from:
Fortune:
The Baltimore Sun:
CNBC:
The Cleveland Clinic: https://health.clevelandclinic.org/exhausted-from-working-remotely/

RACISM, FELT EMOTIONS, AND STATISTICS [EPISODE 64]
Thursday Aug 06, 2020
Thursday Aug 06, 2020
In this episode, I again interview Professor Scott Pearson of Palm Beach Atlantic University. Scott and I talk about the wide gap between the feeling and experience of African Americans and the actual statistics of police killing African Americans.
The discussion was predicated on a viral video where a woman pleads with the cops not to shoot a Black man. It is clear that she believes that he is about to be murdered before her eyes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=6yEIyToSmFc&feature=emb_logo&fbclid=IwAR1ICXAUkDDOjVPhTvZjf4gFujalTQeZvk0dNedaGI2MGBRizJPScVe0X8k
While the statistics do not support her suspicion, her fear is real and it must not be discounted if we are to make any progress in race relations. Scott and I talk about bridging the chasm between this visceral fear and the statistics.

In this episode, we are going to talk about our observations of the ways that students learned about leadership at SBS. Hint: It was less about teaching leadership than it was about experiencing leadership.

LESSONS LEADERS CAN LEARN FROM CHINA’S ONE CHILD POLICY [EPISODE 59]
Thursday Jul 30, 2020
Thursday Jul 30, 2020
In this episode, I talk about the documentary One Child Nation. It is useful on so many levels. First, you want to understand what is happening around the world. But more importantly, you need to understand a number of lessons that directly relate to leadership: Policies matter. There are human consequences for your policies. There also may be unintended consequences for the policies you pursue. Leaders need to digest all of these lessons if they wish to lead others well.

In this episode, I discuss the article 4 Must-have leadership qualities, published in Entrepreneur magazine. I discuss what the author got right and what he got wrong.
If you enjoyed this episode, you really need to listen to tomorrow’s episode where I compare what you heard today with an article from Harvard Business Review entitled: The Most Important Leadership Competencies, According to Leaders Around the World.
I am discussing these two articles back to back intentionally. You will see nuances you would otherwise miss if you were only exposed to one or the other.

If you will ever be in a position where you will hold power over other people some day, please listen to this episode. You need to understand why this phrase has stood the test of time.

WHAT STAR TREK TAUGHT ME ABOUT INNOVATION [EPISODE 46 ]
Monday Jul 13, 2020
Monday Jul 13, 2020
In this brief, somewhat whimsical episode, I discuss modern inventions that were first brought to the popular imagination by Star Trek. Star Trek originally aired in 1966. At the time, many products that we use today were considered far-fetched, if not impossible. Sometimes, the "impossible" is only due to a failure of imagination.
The purpose of this program is to help you become a better leader. Innovation and, more importantly, empowering people to innovate by providing an environment where people are safe to experiment (and even fail), is an important part of leadership.
The article I referenced is found here: https://qz.com/766831/star-trek-real-life-technology/

In this episode, I am going to talk about two competing theories that will change society. I am going to argue that one will lead us down a path to destruction; the other will lead us to the ends we actually seek—a more just society.
Much of the hate and anger in society is caused by what we choose to focus upon. This is not a call for putting our heads in the sand. It is a call for a better method for achieving the ends that we hope to achieve.
Here are the two articles I referenced in the episode:

FOUR PERSPECTIVES OF LEADERSHIP [EPISODE 43]
Wednesday Jul 08, 2020
Wednesday Jul 08, 2020
In this episode I discuss the first assignment I give in my Leadership Development class. I ask them to find images that answer 4 questions: 1) What I believe leadership is, 2) How your boss approaches leadership, 3). What society thinks about it, and 4) What employees feel as a consequence.
While this appears to be a simple or silly assignment, when you look beneath the surface, you find that it reveals great insight into the both the nature of leadership and the students’ experience with leadership.
I will review 7 of my students’ submissions and you will see how much you can learn from this simple assignment. The purpose of this program is to help you become a better leader. If you are going to be the kind of leader that you would want to follow, you must understand how your leadership is perceived.

HUMAN NATURE, OPPRESSION, AND LEADERSHIP [EPISODE 41]
Monday Jul 06, 2020
Monday Jul 06, 2020
In this episode, I want to cut across both business and social issues to look at the role that human nature—specifically human dignity—plays in society and organizations.
Human beings do not react well to perceived oppression. They buck it whenever they encounter it. I will talk about multiple manifestations of oppression. From the protesters to the rioters to those who can’t repeat the BLM slogan due to conscience, you will find out that we have more in common than we think.
The purpose of this program is to help you become a better leader. You must understand this aspect of human nature if you are going to be the kind of leader that you would want to follow.

THINK LIKE TRUMP (THE BUSINESSMAN). [EPISODE 40]
Friday Jul 03, 2020
Friday Jul 03, 2020
In episode 32 I talked about reading. In episode 35, I talked about watching TV in order to grow in your knowledge of business. At the end of that episode, I discussed the Apprentice. In this episode, I will provide the background to the Apprentice—how it came into existence, how little Donald Trump actually did in order to earn $200 million from the show, and how you can leverage your time and energy as effectively as he did.
The purpose of this program is to help you become the leader you would want to follow. To be effective, you must make Trump-like deals with your time and resources. I will show you how.

THE COBRA EFFECT [EPISODE 39]
Thursday Jul 02, 2020
Thursday Jul 02, 2020
When the government of Delhi, India realized that there were too many Cobras, they took decisive government action. The net result: more cobras. How is that possible? It turns out that incentives matter, and people predictably respond to incentives.
In this episode, I talk about unintended consequences. Leaders must be aware that the effects of their actions are not always what they want them to be. Sometimes they are impacted by unintended consequences.
You can control your actions; you cannot necessarily control reactions. For that reason, you must think long and hard about the actions you take.
Here is the Foundation for Economic Education (FEE) article I referred to in the podcast:

WHAT IF I AM WRONG? [EPISODE 38]
Wednesday Jul 01, 2020
Wednesday Jul 01, 2020
New York City Council voted last night to cut the police budget by $1 billion (from a $6 billion budget). What if council is wrong? Who suffers?
In this episode of the Leadersmith, I review a timely article in Forbes, entitled, The Toughest Question Any Leader Can Answer Now: “What if I’m Wrong?” We apply it to business and what is going on in society today.
The higher you go in leadership, the more important it is that you make intelligent, informed decisions. I will discuss the article’s suggestions and offer a few of my own.
Here is the “What if I am Wrong?” article: https://www.forbes.com/sites/toddnordstrom/2020/06/21/the-toughest-question-any-leader-can-answer-now-what-if-im-wrong/#5abf86bc4a1e

Tuesday Jun 30, 2020
OK, I need your help.
I really would like your feedback about this episode.
If you like it, I will make it a regular feature. If you do not like it, please let me know.
The goal of Twitter Tuesday is to grab a handful of quotes about leadership and unpack them as I would unpack concepts in class. I will pre-select useful quotes, not just read my twitter feed.
Preparing this 15 minute episode took a few hours, but it is worth it to me if it is worth it to you.

STOP TEARING DOWN. START BUILDING UP. I WILL SHOW YOU HOW. [EPISODE 36]
Monday Jun 29, 2020
Monday Jun 29, 2020
If you watch the news, you would get the distinct impression that the world has gone mad. I have heard many say that they want to tear down the system (as if what would replace it would be better or THEY would be the ones who got to build the new system).
It is easy to tear down. It is difficult to build up.
In this episode, I will talk about a fantastic example of the community building up and restoring what appeared to be an irredeemably broken and hopeless community.
This is leadership.
You will learn the lessons that allowed the helpers to help more effectively and the lessons that allowed those being helped to grow and flourish.

In episode 32, Jeff Carlucci and I talked about what you are reading and strategies to read more. I recognize that many of you still will not have the time to read, so I am offering an alternative to help you grow in your understanding of business: WATCH TV. Seriously, watch TV.
If you are judicious about what you watch, you can learn and grow almost effortlessly. In this short episode, I will discuss nearly two dozen shows that you should watch in order to grow in your understanding of business and leadership.

I preempted my regularly scheduled podcast to play Senator Tim Scott’s June 17th Speech on floor of US Senate. It was the 5th Anniversary of Mother Emmanuel church shooting, and Scott had been the point person on the Justice Act in the Wake of the Death of George Floyd.
Senate Minority Whip, Dick Durbin (D-IL) called Scott’s legislation “token.” Scott addresses this and other issues related to getting this legislation passed.
Please note that there is a long pause 42 seconds into Scott’s speech as he talks about the Mother Emanuel church shooting. I have placed the full, unedited speech here and I include my own brief commentary after.
If you would like to reach out and offer your perspective, correct me if I am wrong, or suggest topics I should address, let me know.

7 WAYS THAT LEADERS CAN PREPARE FOR THE POST-PANDEMIC EMERGENCE. [EPISODE 29]
Thursday Jun 18, 2020
Thursday Jun 18, 2020
The country is reopening for business. In this episode I discuss 7 ways that leaders can prepare for the post-pandemic times.
The concept comes from an article by Manfred F. R. Kets de Vries of Insead. I elaborate and add to de Vries’ thoughts.
Here is the original article:
I also talked about scenario planning and pointed you to Shell’s Website: https://www.shell.com/energy-and-innovation/the-energy-future/scenarios.html

Dr. Pearson joined me in Episode 14 to discuss why no particular leader is able to solve the problem. He again provides perspective that may be helpful as we move forward.

A THIRD WAY TO ADDRESS AMERICA'S RACIAL DIVIDE. [EPISODE 27]
Tuesday Jun 16, 2020
Tuesday Jun 16, 2020
Our country is so divided right now. It is not just black and white, but a deep philosophical divide.
Race is currently the way that this divide is manifesting. One side says that racism is about what they (individually) do or do not do. The other side says that race pervades everything--that by definition, only white people can be racist, and that the system is inherently racist. This is because they define racism as structures of power, and for this reason, you hear the term "systemic racism" discussed quite a bit.
Is there a third alternative? I think there is, and Tony Evans described it eloquently in his book Oneness Embraced and the video series by the same name. In this episode, I will discuss some of the ideas Dr. Evans covered.
You can find the video series on Rightow Media and you can get a free trial to Rightnow Media while the Pandemic Lasts.

This is part II of a two-part series of an interview with a black conservative as he offers his thoughts on Black Lives Matter, racism as a front for other things, systemic racism, and social justice.
If we are supposed to elevate the perspective of minorities, what do we do with the perspective of the minority voice in the minority perspective? Don’t they, by the same logic, have a claim that their narrative should be embraced?
This episode, like the previous, is completely unedited. You will hear everything that he has to say. You might be surprised by what you hear.

If you believe social justice theory, White people are inherently racist because they are White and hold the levers of power. Blacks’ perspectives should be embraced because they are not the dominant perspective (and therefore they must be heard).
So what do we do with the perspective of the minority voice in the minority perspective? Don’t they, by the same logic, have a claim that their narrative should be embraced?
In this episode, I interview a unicorn—a conservative Black man and I get his perspective race and culture in 2020. The episode is unedited. You will hear all that he has to say. You might be surprised by what you hear.

FREE SPEECH IN CANCEL CULTURE: WHAT YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND. [EPISODE 24]
Thursday Jun 11, 2020
Thursday Jun 11, 2020
Have you been unfriended on Facebook because you haven't subscribed to the new orthodoxy? Are you amazed when city leaders talk about defunding their police departments? Were you perplexed when the Paramount Network decided to cancel Cops after 31 years? Cancel. Cancel. Cancel.
What is going on in our culture right now is bigger than race or police brutality. We are at a crossroads where we are either going to continue to have free speech or allow the cultural zeitgeist to overwhelm us. In this episode, I make the argument that we must be able to make arguments. We do not have to agree in order to learn from each other and work on issues that ail us. But there is a growing movement that tolerates no dissent from its viewpoint (ironically in the name of championing all viewpoints). This is tragic because if we preempt the discussion and carry out vigilante justice, we are only demonstrating the belief that might makes right and free speech will be an unfortunate casualty.
In this episode I referenced a symposium at Harvard Law. It can be found here: Cancel Culture: Can Free Speech in Cultural Institutions Survive the Onslaught of Moral Outrage? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tVYKfMPbcQ

D-DAY, MAJOR DICK WINTERS, AND LEADERSHIP. [EPISODE 21]

Monday Jun 08, 2020
The anniversary of D-Day just passed. Many people didn't even notice.
If you want to find something inspiring, step back and consider the bravery of these men who stormed the beaches and dropped behind enemy lines on D-Day. In this episode I talk about the documentary Hang Tough, the HBO mini-series, Band of brothers and the leadership of Dick Winters, the commander of Easy Company, 506 Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division.
If you are inspired like I was, watch Hang Tough or Band of Brothers (Both are on Amazon Prime).
If you would rather read, read Band of Brothers, or read Winters' book, Beyond Band of Brothers.
Be the leader that you would want to follow.

Today, it feels like the world is being split apart by warring factions right in our own country. I have seen many friends on social media talk about how powerless they feel in this situation. We want to have a positive influence on others, but we are not sure how to go about it. I am joined by Dr. Mike Zigarelli, author of Influencing like Jesus. Dr. Zigarelli provides an overview of his book and helps us understand his motivation to write it, some important content, and why is is more important than ever that we influence like Jesus.
Dr. Zigarelli referenced the HBR Article Connect, Then Lead: https://hbr.org/2013/07/connect-then-lead
