Leadership Summit 2016: Dr. Henry Cloud & Shauna Niequist

There is a blind spot that every “Type A” driving leader has when it comes to self-reflection

The Illusions of Leaders: things you think are true about Leadership but aren’t really true

  • The Illusion that you can carry ever increasing amounts of speed in your life and you can simultaneously keep your soul moving in the same way
  • The Illusion that you can do it alone
  • Who you are connected to determines your ability to execute strategy. Connection increases your capacity.
  • No Connection
    • Isolation = your brain doesn’t work in isolation
    • Leadership can force you into a corner of isolation
  • Bad Connection
    • Leaves us feeling that I can’t meet expectations
  • Good Connection
    • Fake or pseudo good – we connect with something that makes us feel good (illicit relationship, success, addictions, etc.)
  • Real Connection
    • I must walk into that corner with my needs being known to another person
  • Illusion of Achievement
    • Exhaustion and isolation come from to do lists, productivity, hustle, and achievement
    • Love is not in the numbers, reports, or achievements…it’s in the other stuff…it’s something that you receive.
    • Satisfaction audit on a 10 scale
    • Are you chasing something that is ultimately going to leave you unsatisfied?

Leadercast 2014: Dr. Henry Cloud

During the second session of Leadercast we had the opportunity to learn from well known leadership expert Dr. Henry Cloud. If you haven’t read his recent book Boundaries for Leaders pick it up today!

  • As a leader you leave a wake behind you in every interaction, in every strategy, in every instance, etc. There are two sides to the wake you leave…

#1 is the results – you got to produce results to lead
#2 is the relationships – you’ve got to have relationships to get results

  • All influence is driven by trust
  • For you to have influence that goes beyond yourself people have to trust you
  • You will build trust to the degree that the people you lead feel that you are connected to them
  • The human heart above all else wants to be known and understood…if you’re people feel known and understood you will have the opportunity to influence them
  • You understand your people when your people understand that you understand them
  • Opportunity comes when your passion and what you’re good at meet a need that people have
  • If your influence is going to go past you, there has to be something in you that goes past you
  • Leaders who have influence that goes beyond themselves are leaders that give up control & then define and connect what others are going to control based on their passions and what they’re good at
  • Connect what your team can control to the results you’re going after
