This is the seven Minute Leadership 3 00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:22.920 Podcast with your host Paul fella Aldo. Hello everyone, and welcome to the 4 00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:28.800 Seven Minute Leadership Podcast, Episode one seventy two. And what do you say 5 00:00:28.839 --> 00:00:33.560 we have a little fun with this episode? The episodes have all been so 6 00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:38.799 serious, and leadership is professional and should be serious. But what do you 7 00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:43.600 say we make a little fun of ourselves just for one episode, Because in 8 00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:49.399 a world full of serious business talk and corporate stern faces, I think from 9 00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:54.479 time to time we need to unleash the power of sarcasm and humor into our 10 00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:58.679 little realm of leadership. So get your popcorn and get ready to have a 11 00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:04.040 few laughs while picking up some truly unconventional leadership lessons. As a leader, 12 00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:10.079 it's crucial to master the art of the eye roll. It's the perfect tool 13 00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:17.120 to showcase your subtle disapproval when your team members suggest questionable ideas. Just remember, 14 00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:21.560 the bigger the eye roll, the clearer your message, and make sure 15 00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:26.480 you add a little mouth sound effect too, so you can draw extra attention 16 00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:32.400 to it. Leadership is all about delegating tasks, but why not take it 17 00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:37.400 up a notch delegate tasks that you don't want to do and enjoy watching your 18 00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:42.599 team scramble around like headless little chickens. It's like your very own reality show, 19 00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:47.319 but without the cameras, and you get bonus points for sipping your favorite 20 00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:55.359 beverage while you delegate away. And nothing screams leadership like a barrage of incomprehensible 21 00:01:55.400 --> 00:02:00.680 buzzwords, so make sure you sprinkle some synergy paradigm shifts. Let's circle back 22 00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:07.040 to that and thinking outside the box into your conversations, and like magic, 23 00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:12.599 you'll instantly sound like a seasoned executive. But don't worry if nobody understands you, 24 00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:16.639 just keep talking until they nod their heads and pretend to comprehend. And 25 00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:23.680 forget productivity, folks, Let's dive into the world of meetings, where nothing 26 00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:28.879 ever gets accomplished. Remember the longer the meeting, the better, and make 27 00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:32.520 sure you invite as many people as possible, because what's a meeting without an 28 00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:38.680 overcrowded room and a distinct lack of purpose? And you too, get bonus 29 00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:44.199 points if you serve stale donuts to add to the overall disappointment. And let's 30 00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:51.199 not forget micro management, the epitome of effective leadership. Nothing says I trust 31 00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:57.840 you like hovering over your team shoulders, monitoring every keystroke in nitpicking their every 32 00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:01.120 move, and make sure to schedule hourly check ins because how else will they 33 00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:08.520 know you're watching their every move? So leadership doesn't have to be all serious 34 00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:13.080 and stuffy. With a little bit of sarcasm and a dash of humor, 35 00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:17.719 you can navigate the corporate world while enjoying a good laugh. Remember these unconventional 36 00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:23.719 lessons are purely sarcastic and meant for entertainment purposes. In reality, leaderships about 37 00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:30.439 inspiring and empowering and fostering a positive work environment and achieving common goals. But 38 00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:34.479 hey, a little laughter never hurt anyone, right, So go forth, 39 00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:38.719 embrace your inner sarcastic leader, and make the world a better place one eye 40 00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:44.240 roll at a time.
