5
00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:25.199
<v Speaker 2>Hello everyone, and welcome to the seven Minute Leadership Podcast.

6
00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:31.160
<v Speaker 2>It's episode three thirty in today's title might make you pause.

7
00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:38.200
<v Speaker 2>Your leadership style is someone's workplace experience. Let that sink

8
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:42.280
<v Speaker 2>in for a minute, because it's not just a catchy phrase.

9
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:48.399
<v Speaker 2>It's the truth. Your tone, your actions, your decisions, your energy.

10
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:52.600
<v Speaker 2>They shape the atmosphere that people show up to every

11
00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:57.560
<v Speaker 2>single day. For you, it's leadership. For them, it's their job,

12
00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:02.759
<v Speaker 2>their routine, their career, and in some cases, their dream.

13
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:06.319
<v Speaker 2>So let's get real for a minute. Think about the

14
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:09.959
<v Speaker 2>last time you were short with your team because of stress,

15
00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:12.879
<v Speaker 2>or the last time you rolled your eyes at a

16
00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:16.159
<v Speaker 2>suggestion or skipped a one on one. Maybe it was

17
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:20.680
<v Speaker 2>small to you, a blip, just a bad day, but

18
00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:23.200
<v Speaker 2>to someone else that might have been the minute they

19
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:27.359
<v Speaker 2>decided you're not approachable, or worse that you're not a

20
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:32.000
<v Speaker 2>leader worth following. This is the reality your leadership style

21
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:35.719
<v Speaker 2>sets the thermost that you either create a warm environment

22
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:38.359
<v Speaker 2>where people want to show up and give their best,

23
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:41.480
<v Speaker 2>or a cold one where they do the bare minimum

24
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:45.640
<v Speaker 2>until something better comes along. So let me give you

25
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:52.120
<v Speaker 2>two quick scenarios. Scenario one, you're a check the box leader.

26
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:54.799
<v Speaker 2>You give orders, you get results, and you move on.

27
00:01:55.439 --> 00:02:00.920
<v Speaker 2>You don't see people, you see productivity. Scenario two your present.

28
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:04.040
<v Speaker 2>You ask questions, you listen, you care. You don't just

29
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:08.919
<v Speaker 2>manage the work. You lead the people, same workplace, Two

30
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:14.520
<v Speaker 2>different experiences. Which leader are you? Because here's the hard truth.

31
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:17.680
<v Speaker 2>You may think you're a good leader because things aren't

32
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:21.960
<v Speaker 2>falling apart, but not falling apart isn't the same as

33
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:27.159
<v Speaker 2>thriving people are smart, they don't always speak up. They internalize,

34
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:30.400
<v Speaker 2>they talk to each other. They make silent decisions about

35
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:34.439
<v Speaker 2>whether to stay, whether to trust you, or whether to

36
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:37.599
<v Speaker 2>mentally check out. You want to know if your leadership

37
00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:40.960
<v Speaker 2>style is working. Ask yourself this. If I had to

38
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:46.560
<v Speaker 2>work under me, would I feel respected, inspired, heard, or

39
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:50.879
<v Speaker 2>would I be surviving the day? So here are five

40
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:55.400
<v Speaker 2>quick signs that your leadership style might need a tune up.

41
00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:59.400
<v Speaker 2>Number one, people hesitate to speak up. That means they

42
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:03.080
<v Speaker 2>don't feel s safe being honest. Number two, you only

43
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:08.000
<v Speaker 2>hear good news because bad leaders create filters. Number three,

44
00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:12.280
<v Speaker 2>turnover is high or worse, morale is low, but no

45
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:16.879
<v Speaker 2>one is leaving. That's called disengaged loyalty. Number four you

46
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:20.439
<v Speaker 2>get defensive with feedback, and that tells your team the

47
00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:25.080
<v Speaker 2>conversation is over before it begins. And number five your

48
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:30.240
<v Speaker 2>managing outcomes instead of building relationships. Results matter, but they

49
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:34.240
<v Speaker 2>come from people. So now let's flip it to five

50
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:39.080
<v Speaker 2>ways to make your leadership someone's reason to stay. Number one,

51
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:44.199
<v Speaker 2>say good morning like you mean it, small, sincere gestures

52
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:48.639
<v Speaker 2>build big trust. Number two catch people doing right things

53
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:52.879
<v Speaker 2>because recognition doesn't cost you anything, but it's priceless to others.

54
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:58.439
<v Speaker 2>Number three ask how they're doing, then actually listen. No agenda,

55
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:05.400
<v Speaker 2>just be human. Number four model emotional consistency your reactions,

56
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:08.280
<v Speaker 2>train your team on what's safe to bring to you.

57
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:13.240
<v Speaker 2>And number five own your missteps. Accountability at the top

58
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:18.879
<v Speaker 2>gives permission for growth at every level. So you don't

59
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:21.000
<v Speaker 2>get to choose whether or not you have an impact.

60
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:23.839
<v Speaker 2>You only get to choose what kind of impact you'll have.

61
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:27.240
<v Speaker 2>Someone on your team is deciding what kind of day

62
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:29.759
<v Speaker 2>they're going to have based on the way you walk

63
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:33.040
<v Speaker 2>into the room. Someone's going home to their family tonight,

64
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:36.079
<v Speaker 2>talking about what kind of leader you were today and

65
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:41.000
<v Speaker 2>someone is staying or leaving because of you. So ask

66
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:44.959
<v Speaker 2>yourself right now, if my leadership style was someone's full

67
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:50.040
<v Speaker 2>time job experience, would they thrive or survive? And make

68
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:52.439
<v Speaker 2>sure the answer is one you can be proud of.

69
00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:56.319
<v Speaker 2>This has been the seven minute Leadership Podcast and I

70
00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:57.399
