Steve Cockram and Jeremie Kubicek interview Andrew Robinson, a leadership consultant who knows the why's of what he does both with his business and all other areas of his life. He's intentional and strategic all with a priority of fighting for the highest possible good of the people he serves.
Episode Highlights, Links and Resources:
In the introduction, Steve mentions that loss of integrity and honesty can bring a leader down, and people lose trust. People must know a leader is competent, but integrity and honesty must be in tact as well.
Thank you to Victoria from Omaha, Nebraska for this episode's audience question:
"My team keeps getting bogged down by tasks that aren't important to our vision. How do I get them to understand the priorities of their tasks?"
Jeremie: If you're the leader, you get to set the tone. Jeremie mentioned GiANT CEO, Bronson Taylor who works through a BLITZ system of conducting team meetings. Make sure to share the strategy and then communicate. You must have relational trust for your people to want to follow you.
Steve: Whenever there is an issue on a team, you have to be prepared to recognize that you're either looking in the mirror at your leadership or you have abdicated leadership of that team. You are responsible for what the team prioritizes. You have to create ways to lift your head out of the details and look at the big picture.
Interview with GiANT Guide, Andrew Robinson:
Why do you do what you do, Andrew?
Andrew says he does what he does because of the impact it has had on himself - his marriage, his parenting and at work. It also has a financial impact on his clients. They get to win! It can change a company's culture. He can also set his own schedule so he gets more time for his family and for self-care.
Steve says the reason he does what he does is scalable influence, making a difference in the world by empowering others. That is what a 100X Leaders is. Steve mentions The 100X Leader book. To order that book from Amazon, go here. It's about legacy at this stage of life.
Jeremie says the reason he does what he does is that he gets to use business as a platform for influence. He gets to partner with people for liberation and multiplication.
Why is coaching a good business and would you recommend it? Why?
Andrew says to be a great leadership coach he sees some common factors in those who are successful at it: generosity and courage to do things that are uncomfortable; and curiosity that stems from humility.
