Mark Missigman proudly served the United States Navy for 20 years where his leadership ability was cultivated and matured. He participated in several combat situations, mentored dozens of sailors, and served with great leaders who helped shape his leadership skills. After retiring from naval service in 2004, Mark continued to serve his country as a consultant. As such, his business line grew from one employee and $100,000 in revenue to ten employees and $2.2 million.

As an Executive Director with the John Maxwell Team, Mark can offer you workshops, seminars, keynote speaking, and coaching, aiding your personal and professional growth through study and practical application of John’s proven leadership methods. Working together, he will move you and your team or organization in the desired direction to reach your goals.

John Maxwell says it best when he says, “Leadership is influence; nothing more, nothing less”. A company or organization is not the name on the door or the logo in the ad. It is the people that walk the halls, fill the offices, and most importantly interact with the customers.

How can we ensure success? Through effective, intelligent, and strong leadership that influences people to perform at their best. Leadership is the catalyst for success or failure. Good leadership skills have a multiplying effect on your sphere of influence. Why not become the best leader you can be?

Mark’s goal is to increase and sharpen your leadership skills by leveraging the teachings of John Maxwell. He wants you to be as successful as you can be because “everything rises and falls on leadership”. For a leader to be effective they must always be learning.

Mark has over 30 years of leadership experience working for you.

BRX Pro Tip: Radical Empathy

BRX Pro Tip: Radical Empathy

Stone Payton: [00:00:00] And we are back with Business RadioX Pro Tips, Stone Payton and Lee Kantor here with you. Lee, let’s talk a little bit about exercising radical empathy.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:12] Yeah. I’ve seen a lot of people use this phrase recently. There used to be radical honesty and, now, there’s radical empathy. I think that leaders have to be better at empathy, especially today where there are so many voices out there and you have so many constituents you really have to serve. And we’re doing it in a more and more public manner. So, empathy is really important.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:36] So, in order to better serve your clients, you have to know them better. That means not only do you have to listen to what they say, you have to watch what they do. Their actual behavior is more telling than what they’re saying. So, a lot of times people will say that they like things and, “Yeah. That’s something that’s important to us.” But where are they really taking action? Where are they buying? You know, where are they investing in things? Those are better kind of markers of what they really believe. And the more that you really understand what’s truly, truly important to them, then you’re able to really serve them and help them get the outcome that they desire.

Lee Kantor: [00:01:20] So, some people don’t really pay that much attention to what their clients are doing. And they are listening or just hearing what their words are saying. But you got to kind of dig a few layers deeper and really understand what they really need in order to get to the next level and to get the outcome that they desire. And don’t confuse the work or the service that you’re doing with the job your client wants done. Henry Ford didn’t ask people if they wanted a car because they wouldn’t have wanted a car. They just wanted a faster horse. So, he built them what they needed, not exactly what they said they wanted. So, you have to do the same thing with your clients. You have to really kind of dig deeper to understand the outcome they desire so you can deliver that, not necessarily what they’re saying they want.
