In this edition of Global Leader Radio, we compare and contrast the elements of leadership that can instantly increase your ability to innovate and influence! Matt Hames and Colonel Marshall Irvin  joined Alvin to discuss the impact of global leadership on both military & civilian life along with explaining WHY both men “do what they do.” You are one hour away from achieving a breakthrough!

Here are seven takeaways from our discussion:

  1. Manage things, lead people.
  2. The military exists to ensure life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

  3. “Facts are our friends.”

  4. People don’t buy “WHAT” you do, they buy “WHY” you’re doing it.

  5. Global Leaders do not practice CGG (Cosmetics, Geography & Gender).
  6. Find the metaphor in every success or failure.
  7. Hire a Veteran!

Listen to host Alvin C. Miles interview Matt & Colonel Irvin as they unpack these takeaways, then add their teachings to your leadership toolkit. Leadership IS a conversation!

 

Matt Hames / CEO, Acru Wealth, LLC

Opening a retail location that delivers personalized wisdom through a relevant experience while clarifying today and preparing clients for tomorrow, Acru is redefining how financial services are delivered through community based institutions.  Since opening, Acru has been featured in Fast Company Magazine, The Financial Brand and other local, regional and national publications recognizing the breakthrough innovation represented in the Acru brand and delivery model.  In early 2012 the Acru retail location won the Best of the Best Retail Design Award from the International Interior Design Association, their highest honor for retail space design.
