00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:04.559
Welcome to a special episode of the
Hacking Leadership Podcast. I'm your host Lorenzo

2
00:00:04.599 --> 00:00:08.080
Flores, and today we're thrilled to
have a very special guest with us Stoyan

3
00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:13.240
Jankov, the acclaimed host of the
Productivity Mastery podcast and co author of The

4
00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:17.239
un Sexy Truth about Startup Success.
In this episode, we will dive deep

5
00:00:17.239 --> 00:00:22.760
into Stoyan's unique perform acronym, which
stands for purpose and values, effective planning,

6
00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:28.359
roles and responsibilities, focus and execution, optimal energy, robust communication and

7
00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:32.079
mental toughness. Thanks to Stoyan for
the time and without further ado, let's

8
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:37.159
start the episode. So my background
is finance, even if it's hard to

9
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:42.200
believe. I did study a bachelor
and a master in finance, but I

10
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:45.600
ended up into the movie. In
this treaty, I became a movie producer

11
00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:51.960
and I started my own video production
company in Denmark run out for five years,

12
00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:56.560
and then I moved to the area
of what I do today working with

13
00:00:56.759 --> 00:01:03.600
teams and the being the more the
vehicle for teams to come together and to

14
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:07.680
find and identify the gaps of what
stands on the way of their performance,

15
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:11.319
and hopefully I share some good strategies
here and there, but at the end

16
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:15.480
of the day, I'm just a
tool for people to come and have the

17
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:18.560
real conversations. Yeah, I love
that. I think, you know,

18
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:23.000
being someone who spends a lot of
time kind of in that space of whether

19
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:29.840
it's the connection point or it's the
part of kind of being a vehicle element

20
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:33.560
of how you move somebody from one
space to another in their career, in

21
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:36.519
their life, in their mindset.
I think it's so critical, and I

22
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:42.040
love that you have a completely different, unique background and from some spaces that

23
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:45.239
we don't typically hear a lot about
when it comes to the leadership space,

24
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:48.920
but I think that's so important because
I will always say that regardless of industry,

25
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:52.640
like pretty much everywhere you go,
it's always the people business, you

26
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:57.040
know, and especially when you're when
you're asked to lead people or influence people

27
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:01.120
or bring people along. So much
of that is based upon relationships. It's

28
00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:05.760
based upon trust, it's based upon
integrity, and you learn a lot about

29
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:07.520
people, but you also learn a
lot about yourself. So I want to

30
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:13.520
jump right into what I thought was
a phenomenal, really cool acronym and Chris

31
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:16.039
and I are huge acronym guys on
hacking leadership. People give us the feedback

32
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:21.319
all the time. We love them
because it's just easy to kind of break

33
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:24.479
apart, easy to follow. But
I really really enjoyed kind of not only

34
00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:28.199
seeing it, reading it, but
when the first time we connect, you

35
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:30.000
kind of broke it down a little
bit for me as far as how it

36
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:32.800
got here. But this acronym perform, I guess first I'd love to start

37
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:36.560
with, like where did this come
from? And kind of how did you

38
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:38.159
land on this kind of being a
thing that you wanted to go after.

39
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:44.639
So I'd been doing workshops, keeping
notes, trainings for quite some time before

40
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:49.520
we developed the acronym and developed the
framework, and I guess I've been missing

41
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:52.800
something to put a little bit of
structure around it, because I'll teach all

42
00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:55.639
these topics, but it was difficult
to remember, difficult, difficult for leaders

43
00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:01.199
to follow, and uh, gotta
be honest, I mean mainly came from

44
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:07.240
me having a cup of coffee with
myself at a Starbucks coffee at a Starbucks

45
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:10.560
coffee shop. I just I was
trying to make sense of things and put

46
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:15.520
together the framework and it kind of
made sense because I've been teaching it for

47
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:21.759
years all the topics around it.
So perform stands for P for purpose and

48
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:29.520
values E for effective planning. Our
rules and responsibilities have focused on execution or

49
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:36.360
optimal energy, second R robust communication, and and for mental toughness. I

50
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:38.479
love that. I love it,
and I kind of want to break it

51
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:42.439
down a little bit more even because
I think that you know, each one

52
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:49.879
of these means a lot to everyone, and I think that the ability to

53
00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:53.960
not only know what they are,
but to understand in your mind, like

54
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:57.479
how do these actually come to life
for people? So let's just start with

55
00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:00.120
the P, right So let let's
let's start there, like when you want

56
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:02.759
to expand on the expand on the
P for me and then tell me a

57
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:09.000
little bit about like what that means
to you. Right? So peace stands

58
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:15.919
for a purpose and values and purpose
is the bigger mission the calls the purpose.

59
00:04:15.160 --> 00:04:18.519
Why do we do what we do? What is the kind of impact

60
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:21.319
we want to make as a company? And it doesn't matter if you're a

61
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:28.920
small startup for people or if you're
a large organization multinational organization, why do

62
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:33.120
you do what you do? Are
you able as a leader to articulate the

63
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:40.519
why across the different levels of the
organization. Are people excited about this mission

64
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:46.120
and this purpose? Do they care? Do you have this as an element

65
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:49.399
in the recruitment process as well,
like do we want to attract people that

66
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:54.439
care about what we do? Right? So that's that's the why, that's

67
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:59.279
the purpose. And values of course, the principles how do we show up?

68
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:03.839
How do we act? Values is
about the how? Now what do

69
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:08.959
we do? What do we prioritize
when we're making decisions? I mean,

70
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:12.560
you know you you and Apple right, like, you know you guys have

71
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:15.439
actually been using you as an examples
sometimes with the values, like the different

72
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:19.360
kind of values and the order of
priority of how we make decisions. Do

73
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:24.199
we have just a set of values
that are kind of written down and an

74
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:27.959
HR department is using it for the
ads, you know, job ads?

75
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:33.680
Or does it actually mean something?
Is the leadership taking the time to to

76
00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:38.639
articulate across the organization what these values
mean? Are we on the same page

77
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:43.920
when it comes to the values,
and Yeah, that's that's how we define

78
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:47.160
this. And it sounds like a
fluffy and soft thing. It is one

79
00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:51.639
of the that's why it's also the
first letter because it's the fundamental Yeah,

80
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:55.600
I love that. You know.
The biggest thing to me that you said

81
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:58.879
and I completely agree with, is
like, how do you move something that's

82
00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:01.560
a purpose and values from the macro
to the micro? How do you localize

83
00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:04.879
that? And I think that's such
an important part from a leadership standpoint of

84
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:09.879
not only how do you communicate not
just what the values of the purpose is.

85
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:14.480
Like it's very easy to read a
vision statement, a manifesto, whatever

86
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:15.800
you want to call it, and
say this is who we are and what

87
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:18.800
we stand for as a company.
But what it really comes down to is

88
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:23.800
how do your leaders act? How
are you bringing the purpose and values to

89
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:26.959
life every single day? Not just
saying this is our values. I can

90
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:30.279
tell you that our values are that
we want to treat people with kindness and

91
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:32.920
respect. But if I don't treat
you with kindness and respect every day,

92
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:35.839
I'm not living those values. That's
just words on a wall. And so

93
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:40.560
I think that I love that you
started there. It makes so much sense

94
00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:44.600
to me. And I think if
people and if teams don't understand, then

95
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:46.959
we owe it to them to help
them understand what they are. But more

96
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:51.079
importantly, if we really want to
build this culture that we want here,

97
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:55.920
we have to live those values in
our everyday behaviors, and then we have

98
00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:59.399
to push up against those values and
purposes when we're in those times when it's

99
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:01.000
a tough decision to make, and
that's really when those things really shine.

100
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:05.120
So I love that you share that. Let's jump into the e effective planning?

101
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:11.120
Effective planning? So how do we
plan? How do we set KPIs?

102
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:15.399
What is the kind of go setting
systems that we agreed to follow.

103
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:18.519
Is everybody on the same page?
Where are we going? Are people clear

104
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:24.800
what their priority should be? Individual
in the company? Which is something as

105
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:28.920
a trainer, as a corporate coach. This is one of the things employees

106
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:34.439
complain closed about. The leadership isn't
clear enough what my priority should be?

107
00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:41.519
So how do we set goes?
How do we identify and delegate priorities two

108
00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:46.000
people? And also as leaders,
do we take the time to coach our

109
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:50.480
people to be better in their own
time management? Which, getting back to

110
00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:55.399
your point, I need to be
extremely good with my own time management.

111
00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:59.959
Otherwise why should I go and tell
my people, Hey, you need to

112
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:01.959
be a master of your own time. If I'm not really good at that,

113
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:05.839
If I don't take the time and
I gotta tell you Losso there's so

114
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:11.800
many leaders that come with the same
sentence stoy on, Oh these tools,

115
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:16.160
Oh this idea is amazing. Love
your stuff, But I don't have time

116
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:20.879
to plan my time. I'm just
so busy, you know, there's so

117
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:24.160
much to do, Like you don't
understand that. I'm always like, really,

118
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:30.279
you don't have time to plan your
time. Maybe you haven't prioritized time

119
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:35.519
for planning, so now you have
no time for anything, and you're just

120
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:39.399
going all around the place being reactive
as opposed to proactively moving the needle in

121
00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:41.840
the direction you gotta move it.
So if there's one thing they need to

122
00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:46.000
get the audience needs to get from
from this conversation, I would say,

123
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:50.080
you have to blog time in your
calendar for planning on a daily basis twenty

124
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:54.519
to thirty minutes. Put it in
your calendar, create a meeting with yourself

125
00:08:54.559 --> 00:09:00.000
and Google calendar or you know,
iCal whatever you're using, and just say

126
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:03.840
or die management. And then you
sit with yourself and you start reflecting what

127
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:07.840
did I produce today as a leader, What did my team produce? Was

128
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:11.759
the progress? Was the challenges?
And then looking towards the next day.

129
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:16.519
Then you look at the goals,
the priorities, the objectives. How do

130
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:22.320
I get the most out of my
day? How do I remove these obstacles

131
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:24.480
for my team to get the most
out of their day because I'm the leader

132
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:28.519
and I got to coach them to
get the most out of their time.

133
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:31.080
So this is the area of perfective
planning. Yeah. No, I love

134
00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:35.039
that because I had a mentor of
mind show with me a long time.

135
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:39.240
They said leaders vote with their time. So like, wherever you spend your

136
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:43.519
time is what you're showing your people
that you prioritize. And when you have

137
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:48.279
an effective planning element, it shows
people that you intentionally plan your time and

138
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:52.639
you prioritize the spaces and the places
that you need to be. So I

139
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:54.720
love that. And then you kind
of touched on this a little bit,

140
00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:58.279
which kind of swings us right into
the r which is like, now that

141
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:01.360
you've kind of got a great vision
and purpose is you you're really intentional with

142
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:03.000
how and where you spend your time. Now it's time to kind of define

143
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:07.279
what are the roles and responsibilities that
each of us have, both as a

144
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:09.000
leader but also the people. So
I love for you to kind of dig

145
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:13.399
into that a little bit as well. And by the way, roles and

146
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:18.879
responsibilities. We only came up with
this area initially because we needed to make

147
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:24.080
Jacrobin work the other areas. All
the other we're clearly defined. It's like,

148
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:26.759
okay, when you get the second
R roles and responsibility, that makes

149
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:31.919
sense, But why do we need
that? People should be clear on that?

150
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:35.120
That was the initial you know,
idea. Then we started doing workshops

151
00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:41.360
and we started getting the best grades, the best feedback on rolls and responsibilities.

152
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:45.519
Maybe there's something here because you know, everybody has a title. Also,

153
00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:50.639
everybody has a title. Right,
I'm the chief marketing officer, I'm

154
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:54.679
the head of it. Really okay, so what do you do? What

155
00:10:54.720 --> 00:11:01.039
are your responsibilities? Are you clear? What's the what's the different responsibilities that

156
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:05.000
you're the last person in command?
And is everybody from your team clear?

157
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:11.759
What is within your responsibilities? Right? And where is the decision making power

158
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:18.279
for everybody? Right? Hey,
Maria and Michael and Georgia are working on

159
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:24.399
this marketing campaign. Okay, who's
the one that's accountable? So many organizations

160
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:28.919
never take the time because they're busy
to talk about these kind of things and

161
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:33.000
talking about roles and responsibilities And I
love your podcast. I said it already,

162
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:37.720
but but you guys talk a lot
about that is about taking the time,

163
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:41.879
making the time to get to know
your people, to make a development

164
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:46.759
plan. Right, where would you
like to develop? What are the kinds

165
00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:50.240
of areas that you're not just good
at like we want to we want to

166
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:54.279
focus on your strengths. Don't get
me wrong, But what are some of

167
00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:56.799
the things that you love to do. There's a simple exercise in the book

168
00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:03.840
Perform The un Sexy Truth about Startups
says there's a simple exercise mapping your responsibilities.

169
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:07.960
You can do it, very simple. You just open a spreadsheet,

170
00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:13.559
okay, and then you write all
the different commitments responsibilities that you might potentially

171
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:16.879
do. And like a traffic light, right, you put the green,

172
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:20.799
you put the amber, you put
the red, right green, all the

173
00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:26.000
things that you love to do.
You're excited to do it, amber or

174
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:31.080
yellow whatever, it's kind of okay, right, it's not so good.

175
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:33.159
I don't really care, but it
doesn't really bother me. And then red,

176
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:37.519
these are the things I hate to
do. You still might be really

177
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:43.200
really good at it. I'm exceptionally
in producing movies, was organizing producing project

178
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:46.360
management. I don't really enjoy it
anymore. Right, But if I don't

179
00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:50.519
tell my team, if my leader, my manager doesn't ask me, They'll

180
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:52.240
keep on giving me more of these
things, and I'm gonna do things that

181
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:56.240
I don't like to do, and
eventually at some point I might quit because

182
00:12:56.279 --> 00:13:01.320
I didn't have the real conversations.
How about we shift a little bit of

183
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:05.080
the culture and start being more proactive
into understanding our people, what motivates them,

184
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:11.440
and allocating tasks and projects, creating
clarity for people everybody knows who's the

185
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:16.799
decision maker, but also giving and
delegating tasks that they're not only good at,

186
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:20.720
they love to do them. M
Yeah, I love that. I

187
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:26.480
think the people passion piece is so
important when you're thinking about having an effective

188
00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:30.600
culture that progresses and moves forward.
I think that's where a lot of times

189
00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:33.919
people can get assigned a role or
a job and they could be good.

190
00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:35.799
They can have skill in that thing, and they can do a really good

191
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:39.159
job. When people have a passion
for what they do and you can find

192
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:43.840
the things that the sparks joy within
them and they really enjoy doing this part

193
00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:46.039
of the job, and they start
to think about your team differently, and

194
00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:50.919
how do you make sure that they
accomplish that things that are responsible for,

195
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:54.120
but then they also have the things
that they really love and that just give

196
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:58.600
them that spark. They put so
much time and effort into it. And

197
00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:01.000
so I love that you kind of
broke that down and not just the roles

198
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:03.759
of responsibilities of just the title of
what the job is that somebody has,

199
00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:07.879
but also the roles and responsibilities that
we have as leaders to place our people

200
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:11.960
into spaces that give them some of
that that room to really kind of go

201
00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:16.720
out there and push themselves to acceed. And and I love that, and

202
00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:22.159
I think that that then naturally cascades
down into now that you have purpose and

203
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:26.960
values, You've been really clear about
how you spend your time, You've defined

204
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:30.159
the roles of responsibilities everyone. Now
we can get to work, which gets

205
00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:33.120
us into focus and execution. So
I know that's a These are very like

206
00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:35.639
terms that everybody knows, Like you're
kind of like how deep can you go

207
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:39.080
on these things? But they matter
a lot when it comes to this idea

208
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:43.799
of culture. So please dive into
focus and execution for me. So I

209
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:48.720
want to use a quote from a
friend of mine, the founder of closed

210
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:54.840
dot com, stell e ft I
interviewed him on the for the book and

211
00:14:54.879 --> 00:15:01.039
he shared with me, my biggest
productivity tool is saying no. It's so

212
00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:05.519
easy to get distracted these days.
Laws though right there's so many things we

213
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:09.720
could do, we might be able
to do. So how do we remain

214
00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:15.000
focused? Right? Effective planning is
about defining the goals, but then how

215
00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:18.840
do we stay focused on what matters
most. When we talk about focus and

216
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:24.879
execution, we often touch upon the
what we like to call the five villains

217
00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:28.240
of focus and execution and how to
avoid them. So the first one is

218
00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:33.960
lack of clear priorities. Then you
have the shiny object syndrome many of us

219
00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:39.919
can identify with that. Then procrastination, multitasking, and perfectionism. So it's

220
00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:43.759
all about how do we create a
culture where we remain focused on the vital

221
00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:48.879
few things that matter most at this
very moment. And just to give another

222
00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:52.080
something really tangible for those of you
who are listening, maybe you want to

223
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:56.519
try doing that. If you're an
employee or if you manage your entrepreneur doesn't

224
00:15:56.559 --> 00:16:02.080
matter. Just sit down, have
a look at your goals and try to

225
00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:04.679
write down what are your top three
priorities at the moment. And when I

226
00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:08.440
said priorities, it might be activities
that you do in the company. Let's

227
00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:15.559
say your in sales. Prospecting could
be one. It could be sending offers,

228
00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:19.279
could be closing deals. Okay,
maybe this is the top three priorities

229
00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:26.519
for you? Great? What percentage
of your time goes towards making a progress

230
00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:30.440
on these top three priorities? And
be honest, you know five, ten,

231
00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:33.720
twenty, All right, fine,
doing a little bit of accounting.

232
00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:41.000
Now how much of my time do
I want to focus on these core priorities

233
00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:48.200
for me? Well, I don't
know fifty eighty percent. Every company is

234
00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:51.200
different, every row is different.
But where do you want to be?

235
00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:55.320
And then just ask yourself, where
is my time going right now? How

236
00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:59.879
can I start moving towards this?
Should I stop doing some things? Should

237
00:16:59.919 --> 00:17:03.119
I delegate? What do I do
so I can commit my energy and time

238
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:08.039
doing things that matter most? That's
that's all about focus and execution, and

239
00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:15.319
then to speed of execution. We
are procrastinating so much right and often they're

240
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:18.319
connected. You're not clear what you
should be doing, so you procrastinate because

241
00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:22.039
you don't know where to start,
right, But how do we create a

242
00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:26.640
culture where people are clear what their
priorities are, they have the right productivity

243
00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:32.519
habits right, simple stuff time blocking
right, everybody learns time block. Hey,

244
00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:34.720
from nine to ten thirty, I'm
going to spend an hour and a

245
00:17:34.759 --> 00:17:41.319
half with myself writing two pages of
my future book. Okay, you fully

246
00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:45.279
clear on what is the objective?
You set time, you scheduled it in

247
00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:51.079
your calendar, and then it's easier
to follow through. Yeah, you know.

248
00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:53.200
I love and for our listeners,
they know, like you just gave

249
00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:56.640
a great one minute hack, which
is kind of get your pen and paper

250
00:17:56.640 --> 00:17:57.680
out, write these things down and
go do these things. And I love

251
00:17:57.720 --> 00:18:02.960
that because that's such an important part
of this is that you know the application

252
00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:04.880
of these theories and these ideas really
as you kind of go through them and

253
00:18:04.920 --> 00:18:10.279
boil them down, there's action items
here that you can really do that will

254
00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:15.759
help to self reflect, to consider
yourself, to consider your time, how

255
00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:18.240
and where you spend it. And
that's so critical. And I love that

256
00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:22.039
because I think that those are the
things that we can say things like focus

257
00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:26.160
and execution, but what do we
really mean? And then how do we

258
00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:30.000
create focus? And then how do
we make sure that we're executing on the

259
00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:33.359
plan and that we have places in
milestones to check in on and validation and

260
00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:37.400
those types of things. So I
love that piece of it. And then

261
00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:38.880
this flows right into the next thing, of course, and this is I'm

262
00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:44.240
a huge fan of this because I'm
a big believer in people and leaders either

263
00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:48.440
you know, they bring energy into
the room or they take energy out of

264
00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:51.440
a room. Right, there are
a lot of leaders that sit in the

265
00:18:51.440 --> 00:18:53.000
middle where you don't even know they
entered the room. Okay, fine,

266
00:18:53.119 --> 00:18:56.839
right, not my style, passive, right, the type of thing,

267
00:18:56.160 --> 00:19:00.880
but it's such an important thing that
when it comes to again establishing culture,

268
00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:07.839
establishing inspiration, having a leadership where
you've got a positive kind of command skill

269
00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:11.359
when it comes to the rooms that
you enter. But you talk about this

270
00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:17.000
as the O inoptimal energy. So
break that down for us, optimum energy

271
00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:23.319
the well being a few and your
people creating an environment that is supportive of

272
00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:30.200
the mental, physical emotionals pretty so
well being if everybody involved. That's pretty

273
00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:33.400
much about it. And again we
come down to the un sexist truth,

274
00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:37.279
right, Like the subtitle of the
book is the on sexy truth about startup

275
00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:41.440
success, because we know, we
all know these things, but it's not

276
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:45.079
about what we know. I think
there was a survey that that showed that

277
00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:52.119
I think several years ago, sixty
one percent of American doctors are either overweight

278
00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:56.599
or abests. These are the people
that tell you you have to eat you

279
00:19:56.720 --> 00:19:59.839
vegetables, you have to you know, exercise and those kind of things.

280
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:04.960
So in the section of optimal energy, we broke down you know a lot

281
00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:10.920
of frameworks. There's another framework energy, which stands for exercise, nutrition,

282
00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:19.480
excitement, our relationships, g for
good sleep, and why for you time,

283
00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:25.279
time for yourself. So we try
to kind of simplify and emphasize on

284
00:20:25.519 --> 00:20:29.640
what are the kind of areas or
habits that you want to build in order

285
00:20:29.720 --> 00:20:33.119
to be at the top of your
energy. Again, we can't do the

286
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:36.720
work for you, but at least
you can evaluate yourself from one to ten

287
00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:41.039
in each of the areas of the
energy framework. How are you doing recently?

288
00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:45.359
How have you been doing? You
know, do you have to prioritize

289
00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:48.839
a little bit of sleep or do
you have to spend more time in the

290
00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:52.519
gym? Do you have to spend
more time with inspiring and empowering people.

291
00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:59.079
You know, your relationships. So
energy is all about how do I feel?

292
00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:03.200
But but again, you got to
be the leader that leads by example,

293
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:06.759
you know, and create a culture. We have these things that prioritize.

294
00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:08.880
Let me give you one simple example, by the way, to anybody.

295
00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:17.720
We started this little process, this
strategy weekly weekly co with my team.

296
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:22.359
I have a small remote team,
five to ten people currently, and

297
00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:26.799
we came up with this personal development
hour. So every week we'll spend an

298
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:30.559
hour, hour and a half where
one person from the team is going to

299
00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:37.160
present something connected to our personal development, you know, journaling, time management,

300
00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:41.640
meditation, like all things that will
support you and your energy. And

301
00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:45.160
this is the best time of the
week. Everybody is so excited. Everybody

302
00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:48.039
joins. I'm actually positively surprised.
I don't nobody wanted to join. Right,

303
00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:52.240
it's company time. I'm paying for
it, right. I want people

304
00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:56.599
to show up and want people to
share strategies how to how to feel better.

305
00:21:56.839 --> 00:22:00.960
I care about my people, you
know. So if more leaders spend

306
00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:04.319
the time to care about their people, to coach them, and to provide

307
00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:07.960
them with an environment in which they
can grow, they can feel well and

308
00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:12.839
they can pay more attention to their
energy. They're well being, and of

309
00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:18.599
course they will perform better, there's
no way off. I love it,

310
00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:22.160
and I love the fact that my
initial thought around energy was the impact the

311
00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:26.480
leader has when it comes to the
energy you bring into a room. But

312
00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:30.440
what you're talking about is the actual
physical elements of you having energy in general,

313
00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:33.960
and being able to be healthy and
being able to have the time to

314
00:22:34.039 --> 00:22:37.119
reflect and that type of thing.
So again, it's just a it's a

315
00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:44.759
great reminder that even when we use
common language in leadership and leadership theory,

316
00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:48.839
we could have completely different definitions of
how we initially see the words. And

317
00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:52.039
that's why it matters that we that
we talk about this. That's why it

318
00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:56.279
matters that we we find alignment and
we discuss what our ideas are, because

319
00:22:56.759 --> 00:23:00.880
if we both go into this dialogue
thinking energy means to different things and I'm

320
00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:02.519
like, what is he talking about? And You're like, what are you

321
00:23:02.599 --> 00:23:03.720
talking about? Right, we kind
of have to say, like, no,

322
00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:07.440
let's let's align on what the definition
of the word is to then be

323
00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:10.480
able to have the acronym comes in, which rolls right into the next thing,

324
00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:14.039
which is robust communication. So let's
talk a little bit about the importance

325
00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:22.559
of communication. Do you have three
weeks? Yeah? Yes, this is

326
00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:25.480
the topic that we can write ten
books about. It's not going to be

327
00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:27.799
enough, right, But I want
to use a metaphor that I learned from

328
00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:33.079
a Hollywood cinematographer who was in my
podcast. His name is Shane Herbert,

329
00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:38.799
and we spoke about leadership and how
how is he productive as a dop director

330
00:23:38.839 --> 00:23:44.559
of photography And he shot the Terminator
Salvation, he shot Need for Speed Wow,

331
00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:49.400
I mean many blockbusters, and he
had two hundred and fifty people in

332
00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:55.640
the camera department only Terminator. So
we talk about leadership and I'm like,

333
00:23:55.680 --> 00:23:57.400
well, what are your challenges as
a leader as the director of photography.

334
00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:02.359
He talked about it. He said, so, my biggest challenge as leader

335
00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:07.000
is to make sure that every person
from my team is making the same movie

336
00:24:08.119 --> 00:24:11.319
wow, instead of everybody making their
own movies. I'm like, what a

337
00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:17.480
great metaphor. Man Like it is
the marketing department and the sales department and

338
00:24:17.519 --> 00:24:21.160
the operations are they making the same
movie? Like? We all know this.

339
00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:26.440
So many challenges, especially in a
bigger organization, to communicate internally.

340
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:30.200
By the way, robust communication,
we're focusing entirely on the internal communication.

341
00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:36.559
What systems do we have, how
frequently do we have meetings? How effective

342
00:24:36.599 --> 00:24:41.240
are our meetings? Right? How
often do we provide each other feedback?

343
00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:45.160
Not just top down, but the
other way around as well. And this

344
00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:48.559
is one of the biggest challenges for
leaders. I'm still trying to nail it

345
00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:52.000
myself, and knowhthough I'm putting a
lot of effort. It's how do I

346
00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:57.559
create a safe space for the people
that I manage to not be afraid to

347
00:24:57.640 --> 00:25:04.000
tell me the truth? In the
f stoyan last week from this meeting with

348
00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:08.079
the client, you are talking too
much and we lost the client. You

349
00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:12.400
need to shut up and ask more
questions for example, right, right?

350
00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:15.960
But but I want them not to
be afraid. I want them to and

351
00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:18.960
this is this is what we want
as leaders. How do we create such

352
00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:25.319
a space where people communicate efficiently like
through the you have the right software,

353
00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:29.960
you have the right systems, you
have the right structures. And by structure,

354
00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:33.720
I also mean how often do we
do certain things? How often do

355
00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:38.000
we communicate verbally versus you know,
in a written shape and form. How

356
00:25:38.039 --> 00:25:41.799
often do we have strategy meetings and
what do they include? And team of

357
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:45.559
sites and how do we make them
productive all these kind of things so we

358
00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:49.319
can improve and have a better communication. Yeah, I love that, and

359
00:25:51.279 --> 00:25:55.319
it's it's it's so important because see
your point about the movie and the director

360
00:25:55.359 --> 00:25:56.960
thing is like you all have the
same client. We're trying to close the

361
00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:00.319
same clients toy on right, So
like let's let's make sure that we're showing

362
00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:04.240
up and that we're all playing our
parts to give the best experience possible to

363
00:26:04.240 --> 00:26:07.920
close it. I love that.
And then finally them here we are mental

364
00:26:08.160 --> 00:26:14.200
toughness. I'm really excited to learn
a little bit more about this because this

365
00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:18.279
is something when we think about right
now the workforce and mental health and how

366
00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:21.480
we think and how we spend time
in our own heads and how do we

367
00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:25.119
stay committed, persevere grit. These
are all things that have to do with

368
00:26:25.839 --> 00:26:30.759
the kind of being in our heads
and being focused on making sure that we

369
00:26:30.759 --> 00:26:33.599
can work through the difficulties that we, of course are going to see.

370
00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:37.599
But I'd love for you to kind
of break us into mental toughness. Mental

371
00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:41.680
toughness is our capability to deal with
stressors. What do we do when things

372
00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:47.400
don't go by plan? How do
we show up. How do we stay

373
00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:52.039
with a cool head when everything is
burning and lead our teams? And not

374
00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:59.799
only we stay cool, right,
but we effectively keep the emotional temperature of

375
00:26:59.799 --> 00:27:04.359
our team at a good place.
Right. I had had a great conversation

376
00:27:04.480 --> 00:27:10.720
with a very successful founder. Her
name is Caddy Russell left, the founder

377
00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:15.039
of Thunderbeam, a scale up from
Estonia. She used to be the CEO

378
00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:18.599
of the Italian Stock Exchange, and
she shared with me this story. She

379
00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:25.519
told me, as a as a
leader, you're the CMO, the chief

380
00:27:25.759 --> 00:27:30.720
motivation Officer. I don't care what
leader you are. That's part of your

381
00:27:30.759 --> 00:27:33.200
role, that's part of your job. And she shared with me this story.

382
00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:37.079
Also she was like when she was
working in the stock Exchange, she

383
00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:40.359
woke up one morning and she just
slept on the wrong side of the bed.

384
00:27:40.559 --> 00:27:45.359
It was bad weather. She's been
to Estonia from but no, and

385
00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:48.039
then she she you know, she
was in traffic. She goes to work

386
00:27:48.359 --> 00:27:52.680
and her office is at the end
of the corridor, so she's just grumpily

387
00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:59.640
walking towards her office. She gets
some coffee and fifteen minutes later she got

388
00:27:59.680 --> 00:28:06.680
she got a visit from the head
of HR Kidi what's wrong? Nothing.

389
00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:11.880
I just didn't get my coffee yet. The traffic was terrible. Everything is

390
00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:17.759
good, okay? Because I had
three people that knocked on my office and

391
00:28:17.799 --> 00:28:22.240
asked me what is happening? What
is going on? Is somebody getting fired?

392
00:28:22.519 --> 00:28:25.960
There's a bigger company. Why is
kiding like that? And for her

393
00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:27.519
that was a wake up call.
I don't care how I feel. I

394
00:28:27.599 --> 00:28:32.839
don't have the luxury to show up
with an attitude. I gotta lead,

395
00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:36.599
right. It doesn't mean when everything
is burning, you go and say,

396
00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:38.880
yeah, you know, everything is
fine, don't worry, No, you

397
00:28:38.920 --> 00:28:45.279
got you gotta. You gotta honestly
communicate with people. But it has to

398
00:28:45.319 --> 00:28:48.279
come from a place of strength.
So how do we build build up this

399
00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:55.359
resilience as leaders? And how do
we support our people so they can be

400
00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:59.960
more resilient so we are resilient as
a team. That's the area of men,

401
00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:02.559
the toughness. Yeah, no,
I love that and I love that

402
00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:07.559
example. And you know a lot
of times with our podcast, we are

403
00:29:07.640 --> 00:29:11.440
asked like where do we get inspiration
from or how do we get content that

404
00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:12.799
we want to talk about? And
you said something that I just wrote down.

405
00:29:14.039 --> 00:29:17.799
He said, the emotional temperature of
the team. So I'm taking that

406
00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:19.000
away as a note. So you
heard it here first. Everyone. This

407
00:29:19.079 --> 00:29:25.119
is an exact example of when somebody
says something that I'm like, that's interesting.

408
00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:26.559
Let me dig into that, let
me get my thoughts on that.

409
00:29:26.599 --> 00:29:30.319
What does that mean? How does
that show up in leadership? So do

410
00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:33.000
not be surprised, and I will
give you the credit story on and whatever

411
00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:36.200
this shows up, whether it's an
art, whether it's a podcast episode or

412
00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:40.079
a newsletter for LinkedIn, You're going
to hear this terminology about the emotional temperature

413
00:29:40.079 --> 00:29:41.319
of the team. And I'm going
to give you the credit for that because

414
00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:47.759
I really appreciate that. I just
want to say it's not mine. I

415
00:29:47.799 --> 00:29:52.640
think we're just passing it on to
be I interviewed this lady, an amazing

416
00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:56.759
author and strategy consultant. You should
get her on the show grat. Her

417
00:29:56.839 --> 00:30:00.480
name is Richla ma Grt. She's
a professor in Columbia Business cool and I

418
00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:03.920
heard it from her, but she
was quoting somebody. All right, all

419
00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:07.119
right, I'm gonna do that.
I'm gonna find the cascading of where we

420
00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:11.240
got the quote from, and then
how this is cascaded through the theory.

421
00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:12.680
But I love that this is what
this is all about. This is all

422
00:30:12.759 --> 00:30:17.720
about I think sometimes, you know, one of the reasons why I love

423
00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:21.839
listening to leadership podcasts talking to other
people that are in leadership theory stuff is

424
00:30:21.839 --> 00:30:26.279
because there's so many times that there's
there's a way that somebody describes something or

425
00:30:26.279 --> 00:30:29.960
a phrase or a word that you're
like, That's what I've been thinking the

426
00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:33.599
whole time, but I've never been
able to assign something to it or be

427
00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:37.920
able to make it such a clear
message. And so like, this is

428
00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:41.000
one of those for me. We're
like, you know what, I know

429
00:30:41.079 --> 00:30:44.200
exactly what that means, but I've
never had a chance to really express that.

430
00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:45.880
So I'm gonna dig deep. So
I will make sure that we pay

431
00:30:45.920 --> 00:30:49.599
forward all the credit to the cascading
of this idea. Happy to be the

432
00:30:49.599 --> 00:30:53.119
messenger. Man, I'm actually including
the same phrase in my upcoming book.

433
00:30:53.200 --> 00:30:56.240
So hey, I love it.
Let's let's do it. Let's blow it

434
00:30:56.279 --> 00:30:59.799
up. Let's blow it up.
So astoyan, thank you. I want

435
00:30:59.839 --> 00:31:03.680
to cap real quick, so the
perform acronym and again, this is it's

436
00:31:03.759 --> 00:31:06.400
been a gem of a show.
If you're not taking notes, like I

437
00:31:06.440 --> 00:31:07.319
am, and I'm sure story is
like, what are you doing? I

438
00:31:07.359 --> 00:31:11.079
was like, I'm writing stuff down, I'm typing because I really like a

439
00:31:11.079 --> 00:31:12.519
lot of the content in the show. Go back and listen to it,

440
00:31:12.599 --> 00:31:15.880
pause, check it out. But
for the recap, So the perform acronym

441
00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:19.599
P is purpose and values. E
is effective planning, ours, roles and

442
00:31:19.640 --> 00:31:25.079
responsibilities, F as folks and execution. OH is optimal energy. R is

443
00:31:25.160 --> 00:31:27.960
robust communication, and M is mental
toughness. Again, thank you so much

444
00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:32.400
for sharing story on any last minute
words you want to share, Maybe a

445
00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:34.920
couple of places people can find you, website, social media, that type

446
00:31:34.920 --> 00:31:38.720
of fun stuff. Absolutely, just
want to wrap up with the performance.

447
00:31:38.720 --> 00:31:42.799
The knowlogy well again, you guys
know this stuff. Everybody knows this areas.

448
00:31:42.799 --> 00:31:48.039
But the cool question is how well
are you doing in each of these

449
00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:52.160
areas? One simple exercise we do
and we motervate for teams to do,

450
00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:56.920
but you can do it yourself.
Once you explain your team what these areas

451
00:31:56.000 --> 00:32:00.400
means. You give them a piece
of paper and you say, I want

452
00:32:00.440 --> 00:32:04.799
you to assess how are we doing
as a team in each of these areas

453
00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:07.319
from one to ten? How are
we doing in purpose and betters, how

454
00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:10.440
are we doing in effective planning?
Be honest, just just write the numbers

455
00:32:10.480 --> 00:32:15.559
down and then you compare the numbers
and you talk about it and you'll be

456
00:32:15.599 --> 00:32:19.960
amazed. I did it once with
my team. I do it quite often,

457
00:32:19.960 --> 00:32:22.920
but once I did it, and
I remember one of my interests was

458
00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:25.759
like, you know, we were
sharing on effective planning and my INTERNT goes

459
00:32:25.839 --> 00:32:30.519
and it is like, I think
it's a four. Oh, the productivity

460
00:32:30.519 --> 00:32:35.400
coach gets a four. But it
was like, it wasn't that we were

461
00:32:35.400 --> 00:32:37.559
not really planned. Ugh, it
was that we were not really communicating with

462
00:32:37.599 --> 00:32:42.400
her what the plan is. So
you find all of those gaps and then

463
00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:45.960
the point is, let's be honest
and let's let's be practical. What do

464
00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:49.160
we want to change? What exact
specific things are we going to do so

465
00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:54.000
we can perform better sustainably from here
on. So just to wrap up with

466
00:32:54.039 --> 00:32:58.759
this with the perform methodology. But
where can you find me? Get in

467
