The X Factor in Leadership, with Bill McDermott, Host of ProfitSense

In this commentary from a recent episode of ProfitSense, Bill shares the story of a CEO he considers to have the X factor in leadership.

Bill’s commentary was taken from this episode of ProfitSense.

Transcript

Bill McDermott: I want to talk a minute about the X factor in leadership. In Jim Collins’s book, Good to Great, he calls the X factor of great leadership a paradoxical blend of extreme personal humility and professional will.

I had lunch recently with someone I would consider as having the X factor of leadership. He took on a CEO position about six years ago. He had inherited an old school management philosophy with little resources invested in the professional development, business development, and collaboration of his team members.

He’s somewhat quiet and reserved, but very ambitious in his time as CEO. Thus far, he’s contributed significantly to the business and professional development of his coworkers. He’s changed the culture to one of collaboration, not only with coworkers, but clients as well. His energy is focused hourly. To create an organization of thriving coworkers determined to make their organization the best it can be and invest their time volunteering in the communities they serve.

Here are some key characteristics of top leaders, according to Collins:

  • Personal humility. These leaders are modest and unassuming and don’t seek out the limelight or public recognition. They’re focused on building and sustaining a great organization.
  • Professional will. These leaders have a fierce determination to succeed. They’re willing to do whatever it takes to make their companies great. Even if it means making tough decisions or sacrificing their own personal interests.
  • Ambition for the cause. These leaders are motivated by a larger purpose than their own personal success. They’re passionate about their work and want to make a difference in the world. With these leaders, their ambition is first for the cause for the organization and its purpose, not themselves. Their energy is channeled outward, not inward.

If you want to be a great leader, these are some good places to start.

Transcript

There are many people that believe, “leaders are born, not made.” They believe there are natural leaders that just seem to have some genetic makeup that turn them into leaders. I respectfully disagree. I believe leaders have a growth mindset which drives them to be lifelong learners and become leaders based on their growth and development.

There are 4 ways that leaders develop:

  1. A highly capable individual. These individuals make significant contributions to their team or organization through their talent, knowledge, skills, and work ethic. They are experts in their field and can consistently produce high-quality results.
  1. A contributing team member. These people are team players who excel at working with others to achieve common goals. They can build relationships, motivate others, resolve conflict, delegate effectively and empower their team members.
  1. A competent manager. These individuals can organize and direct their team members to achieve specific goals. They can set clear expectations, provide feedback, and develop their team members’ skills.
  1. An effective leader. These people can inspire and motivate others to achieve high performance. They are able to create a clear vision for the future, communicate that vision effectively, and build a strong culture of trust and accountability.

So where do you see yourself on this spectrum? And what would it take to go from a competent manager to an effective leader?

Andy Kalajian, Founder and President, Fort Leadership and Sales Consulting

Andy Kalajian, Founder and President, Fort Leadership and Sales Consulting

Andy Kalajian is the Founder and President of Fort Leadership and Sales Consulting based in Alpharetta, GA. Andy founded Fort Leadership in 2019 after a 33-year career in Medical Device Sales and Marketing Leadership; 25 of those years were with Zimmer (NYSE ZBH) formerly a division of Bristol Myers Squibb (NYSE BMY).

Andy’s journey began at 9 years old when he started in Cub Scouts with his dad and his younger brother. His parents constantly reinforced the Scout lessons of Character and Integrity. Andy continued in Scouting and at the age of 16 he earned the rank of Eagle Scout. At 17 his mom handed him the book, How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. Andy credits that book with igniting his passion for learning how to get along with people. From Hill, to Covey, from Peale to Ziglar and Maxwell, Andy became a voracious reader of books about Leadership, Character, Communication and Teamwork.

After 5 years working as a golf caddie, Andy was the recipient of the prestigious Evans Scholarship Award (www.wgaesf.org). This full academic and housing college scholarship is awarded in recognition of a strong work ethic as a golf caddie, and strength of character, integrity, and leadership. Andy used his scholarship to earn a B.S. in Medical Technology from Michigan State University.

In 1985, Andy loaded up his car with nothing more than his resume, a sport coat and tie, $2500, a big dream and faith that God was going to fill in the gaps. He moved to Atlanta GA in pursuit of a medical sales career where he could leverage his passion for medicine to serve people. Andy grew his medical sales business well into 7 figures by applying the leadership, character, communication, and teamwork lessons he learned from reading books and listening to thought leaders. As Andy continued to advance in his career, he was invited to speak to organizations and train teams on those lessons learned throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.

Andy founded Fort Leadership to continue speaking, training, and coaching individuals and teams in leadership and character development. These skills foster growth in corporate leadership, communication, and teamwork. His corporate experience and insights train leaders to develop healthy corporate cultures with team members who are motivated, engaged, and purpose-driven, resulting in increased employee retention, team performance, and revenue growth!

Andy and his wife, Sherrie, live in Alpharetta, GA and have four adult children. They are members of Pastor Andy Stanley’s North Point Community Church (www.northpoint.org) where Andy is a small group leader in the North Point Men’s Ministry. Andy serves on the Greater North Fulton Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors at Avalon (www.gnfcc.com) where he started the successful Member 2 Member Business Roundtable.

Lesson from Ukraine: Empathy, Forgivenes, Gratitude and Action E16

How do we stay connected to some kind of sanity when our country is being invaded by another one? Says Yaryna Klyuchkovska, a senior communications expert, living in Kyiv: “As a country we are surviving because we’ve learned who we are.

Yaryna shares that war has taught her more of what she is truly made of. She acts on what she truly values, even if it means losing relationships, and a prestigious job. “It’s not a value if it doesn’t have a cost,” reflects Yaryna. And, practicing forgiveness, she accepts that everyone makes their own choices. Olena Sergeeva, a seasoned facilitator and coach from Ukraine who has moved to the US has found herself in search for meaning and what her true core is. “It’s difficult not to be sucked into bigger emotions and be blown with the wind,” says Olena adding that she finds inner stability through empathy with self and others, meditation, exercise, and by facing head on old patterns that no longer serve her.

Both draw inspiration from Viktor Frankl’s “Man’s Search for Meaning” and practice gratitude. Listen to this episode of Rooted & Unwavering and discover more of your inner wherewithal to work with crises.

Yaryna-KlyuchkovskaA communications professional with 20+ years of experience, Yaryna Klyuchkovska works as strategic communication consultant in Kyiv, Ukraine. She specializes in strategic communications, crisis communications, and communicating change. As a communications advisor and media trainer, Yaryna has helped dozens of senior executives, government officials and politicians.

Most recently, Yaryna worked as Corporate Communications Director for ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih, the largest foreign investor in Ukraine. She revamped the company’s approach to communication as a strategic function, transformed its relationships with the media and influencers, and successfully managed communication for a series of crises, including a major litigation case with the government and the first six months of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Earlier, she worked as communication consultant and advisor for clients including the Minister of Economic Development and Trade, the Minister of Finance, the National Health Service and a number of businesses and NGOs. She led communications departments at large Ukrainian and international companies, including Microsoft Ukraine, Group DF, UMC (now Vodafone), and Metro Cash & Carry Ukraine. She also spent a year with Benjamin Group / BSMG Worldwide, a leading technology PR agency in Silicon Valley (now part of Weber Shandwick).

Yaryna holds master’s degrees from University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy (Kyiv, Ukraine) and San José State University (Calif., USA). Since 2001, Yaryna has developed and taught public relations and business communication courses at Ukraine’s leading business schools. She co-founded the Ukrainian Association of Public Relations and chaired its Board in 2007-2008. In 2011, she was named one of Ukraine’s best PR Directors by Marketing Media Review magazine. In 2014, she helped create the Ukraine Crisis Media Center, a civic initiative to help Ukraine manage its international visibility during the ongoing military crisis.

About Rooted & Unwavering

Peace, Compassion, Wisdom, Purposefulness, Creativity and Strength come online in us when we deeply connect with the true, unwavering greatness that lives within ourselves and others.Rooted-and-Unwavering-Tile

In this podcast and radio show, Hylke Faber, seasoned transformational coach and author of the award-winning Taming Your Crocodiles series, engages in deep inquiry with leaders from all walks of life about courageously connecting with our true selves, others and the world at large.

How do we stay connected to our true selves and our greatness, especially when we are challenged? How do we rest in the heart, also when our mind keeps us restless? What becomes possible when we truly stay committed to our own and others’ best selves, also when we don’t feel it? How do we practice staying connected to our true selves, in the midst of our busy lives?

Join us and leave inspired to act on your heart’s greatness and that of the people around you.

About Our Host

Hylke-Faber-headshotFor as long as he can remember Hylke Faber has been curious about what this life is about. His ongoing inquiry has become his work: helping people individually and collectively to discover what is possible in life and express that authentically and fearlessly.

Hylke started his work life with Towers Perrin as consultant and then as Partner with Strategic Decisions Group, serving a wide range of industries, including financial services, manufacturing, consumer electronics and life sciences companies. A major shift occurred during this critical phase of his life. He had become the typical, hard-charging, 16-hours-a-day strategy consultant, and was burning out at a rapid clip.

When he discovered meditation, everything changed. He was so taken by his new discoveries that he chose to bring to business what he was learning: that there is a way we can have it all – we can be fulfilled, do work we love, and create extraordinary results with others. He thinks of it as creating a sense of ease in business.

He learned how to coach and facilitate human transformation completing his coaching certification with Newfield Network and by working at Axialent, the culture and leadership company. After a few years, he founded Co-Creation Partners together with other leaders in the field of transformation and personal development. Then he formed Constancee to help people grow by creating the conditions where deep personal, interpersonal and organizational shifts happen routinely.

He leads Growth Leaders Network, the culture and team development consultancy. He has also taught coaching at Columbia Business School Executive Education and has contributed to Harvard Business Review. He is currently teaching a course on Climate Conscious Leadership at Arizona State University. His award-winning book, Taming Your Crocodiles: Unlearn Fear & Become a True Leader, was published by Dover in 2018.

His next book, Taming Your Crocodiles Practices for Leadership Depth, came out in 2020. Besides helping others grow, which he loves, he is a trained opera singer, enjoys hiking and writing, is an avid reader, in particular of biographies, and is always in the process of growing himself. He integrates all of what he learns in his work with executives.

Tim Huff, Vice President, Leadership Development, Turknett Leadership Group

Tim Huff is the Vice President of Leadership Development at Turknett Leadership Group, a 36-year-old company based in Atlanta with executive coaching and leadership development corporate clients across the United States and in several countries.

With nearly 30 years of experience, Tim built his leadership foundation by serving 14 years as an Infantry Officer in the U.S. Army and National Guard, including graduating from Ranger School, the Army’s premier Infantry Leadership school. He capped his service with a year in Afghanistan as the Chief of Operations for a brigade responsible for training and maintaining the Afghan National Army.

Always fascinated with the power of technology, Tim began a career in Information Technology with The Walt Disney Company in Orlando, Florida. After ten magical years at Disney, he relocated to Atlanta, GA, and continued his technology career in increasing levels of responsibility at Macy’s, CRH Americas Materials, and Owens and Minor.

Having a passion for helping leaders and executives harness the greatness that exists within themselves, Tim became a certified Executive Coach and launched Platinum Level Leadership in early 2020. Enjoying success and fulfillment as an independent coach, he decided to transition from being a full-time IT leader to a full-time coach in early 2022, with an invitation to join Turknett Leadership Group. At Turknett, Tim is helping to expand the business and spread Leadership Character around the world, creating leaders everywhere who live and lead with integrity, respect, and responsibility.
