Episode 28 - Merging operational excellence and caring for people

In the last episode, we heard from author, speaker and Undercover Millennial about what his research uncovered for people to say "I Love It Here" (also the title of his book!).

 

Today, I have a conversation with one of those kinds of leaders who is actually creating that kind of environment in perhaps the most unlikely of places - the manufacturing environment.

 

Listen in as Kevin Peters, President of IDL Print, talks about his own growth journey as a leader and the things that he has done to create the merger of intelligent and caring manufacturing.

 

Many of Kevin's leaders are part of the Emerging Leader Inner Circle and they have been through the process that we created to help develop leadership behaviors that support the vision of the growth for the team.

 

Kevin embodies the leadership qualities of that mentor-manager that Clint Pulver talked about last week and I know that you'll enjoy hearing from this leader today.

 

Once again this episode is brought to you by the Emerging Leader Inner Circle which helps unseen people-leaders develop the next level leaders to futureproof the organization by preventing A-Level talent from leaving. The program creates the ability to grow leaders and elevate to be seen as strategic and visionary.

Episode 27 - How to have your people say "I Love It Here" with Clint Pulver

If you haven't heard about the undercover millennial, you're going to in this episode.

Clint Pulver is an Emmy award winning speaker, author, musician and pilot who has worked with 181 organizations and interviewed over 10,000 employees as he did research for his new book.

He found the common denominator and the keys to what led to employees saying "I love it here" and wrote his book with the same name.

You'll find out about the four types of managers and the five C's of mentorship in this conversation about how to build a growing company where people never want to leave.

If you listen all the way to the end, you'll hear about a special bonus and here's the link you need to access it.

This episode is sponsored by the Emerging Leader Inner Circles for the unseen people leader who wants to build their next generation leaders and be viewed as a strategic, forward-thinking executive.  Reach out to admin@davidmcglennen.com for more information.

Episode 26 - Building Company Growth with Emotional Intelligence

Emotional intelligence is one of those areas of growth that I've been working on in recent years and today I am talking with Teresa Quinlan who is a coach and consultant in the dynamics of using EQ in business and personal growth.

 

We explore her own growth journey of expanding her emotional comfort zone and then talk about how to be sure that everyone is aligned in company strategy so that we don't have some team members constantly pedaling uphill.  (You have to listen in to understand this word picture!).

 

Teresa is an amazing communicator and also shares how she helps leaders and companies ensure that they are able to use the foundation of emotional intelligence in their business growth process.  Connect with Teresa through her website www.iqeqtq.com

Episode 25 - Negotiating Your Way To Growth

There is so much about being able to grow our companies and even our own career path that takes negotiation.

She shares what negotiation is and what it is not along with some stories of how to use negotiation and what it takes to be an artful negotiator.

Episode 24 - Using G.R.I.T to Create Transformative Growth

When you find a leader who believes in a humans-first approach to business and leadership, it is always an amazing conversation with a lot of learning.

In this week's episode, I speak with Kiana Tralongo who believes that leadership is not about a title but is all about people. 

Kiana has an amazing framework that uses GRIT for helping diverse C-Level leaders to grow and expand.

Episode 23 - There is hope in overcoming adversity

In this episode, I talk with small business owner Jason Tracey who shares his story of overcoming poverty and abuse as a child and what it takes to overcome this kind of adversity.

 

It's a bit longer episode but Jason has a lot to share and there are some really great stories and also strategies to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds.

Episode 22 - How Growth Feels

In this episode, I reflect on the last few episodes and the stories of growth.  I talk about what growth really feels like. 

 

While it's always inspiring to hear about other people's growth journeys, to know how it feels when YOU are in it is helpful.

 

It doesn't necessarily make it easier, but it does help being aware of how it feels.

 

Growth is disorienting, it's uncomfortable and it is being, doing and having something new that you've never been, done or had before.  

 

I share some of my experiences of growth I've had and the feelings associated with them.  Listen in and hear how you can break through and expand your own comfort zone.

In our conversation, we talk about how leadership is a people business and the difference between having people work for you and having people who don't want to let you down.
