In this edition of Global Leader Radio, we discuss ideas that can appear counterintuitive to traditional thoughts of leadership, yet can increase your ability to influence! Jeremie Kubicek joined host Alvin C. Miles to explain a humble approach to increasing your ability to lead. Be prepared to shift your paradigms of leadership!

Here are seven takeaways from our discussion:

  1. Leverage your influence to impact others.
  2. “Humble leaders helps promote a cause, not looks for applause”.
  3. Relationships are more important than opportunities.

  4. Focus on finding “people of peace”.

  5. Start with “DNA”, progress to the “Skeleton”, then to the “Skin”, not “Skin” to “Skeleton” to “DNA”!

  6. What are you 1) trying to prove 2) trying to hide and 3) afraid of losing?

  7. Write a “lessons learned” at the end of each year.
  8. Being “abnormally imbalanced” on principles increases your “overall balance”.

Listen to Jeremie as he and Alvin unpack these takeaways. Then add Jeremie’s ideas to your leadership toolkit. Leadership IS a conversation!

In this edition of Global Leader Radio, we learn that leadership character can be a study in paradoxes.  Co-Founders of the Turknett Leadership Group – Lyn and Dr. Bob Turknett,  joined host Alvin C. Miles to describe why integrity and strengthening your character are foundational to effective leadership.

Here are seven takeaways from our discussion:

  1. “When juggling balls, try not to let the glass balls drop!”
  2. Top leaders are 100% accountable and responsible for shaping and setting organizational culture…

  3. …AND each employee is 100% accountable and responsible for making a positive impact on that culture.

  4. Worrying is praying for the worse to happen.

  5. Confidence is there for the taking.
  6. Our thinking creates the way we feel and we can train our brain to help us feel better.
  7. Our Character is something we should work to optimize every day of our life!

Listen to Lyn and Bob as they describe and unpack these points, then add their teachings to your leadership toolkit. Leadership IS a conversation!
