#EverydayLeaders Interview Series

What's the Most Effective Leadership Tool?

Brady Pyle had great advice...

----

I often tell leaders that your most powerful leadership tool is a mirror

You need to start by knowing yourself, your strengths and weaknesses

I like to surround myself with people who are different from me in a variety of ways--how they grew up, personality and communication style, and leadership strengths

I also regularly seek customer feedback about the performance of my team members

Brady Pyle

Bill Castengera had this bit of advice to new and emerging #leaders:

It is easy to get caught up in tasks, but people want leaders who slow down, listen to concerns and take actions that address those concerns.

The question of whether we should push our employees or pull our employees can be a tough one.

Have high standards. If you lead correctly, your employees will want to do their best to match or exceed those standards.

I profile the extraordinary work being done by #EverydayLeaders. Leaders from the front lines of industry

WHAT I DO: 

I’m on a quest to profile the extraordinary work being done by #EverydayLeaders.  Leaders from the front lines of industry.   

HOW I DO IT:  

I start genuine conversations with real people.  We discuss what it takes to lead people in the real world.  And I help them share or develop their wisdom. 

Over the last two years, I’ve interviewed and profiled dozens of people and published their stories in Volume 1 of the Everyday Leaders Series.  Here are few examples:

➡️ Kerry Wekelo on listening to your teams —  https://goo.gl/BgU8Ma 
➡️ Ross Wirth on asking the right questions — https://goo.gl/zKjf9H
➡️ John Reagan on the art of teamwork — https://goo.gl/UPRcGn

I also help Emerging Leaders discover their innate brilliance. We use a time tested framework to align your desires and preferences with your those of your peers, teams, managers, and organization. No tricks, no secret formulas.  But the techniques are so simple my 4-year-old could do it.

CURIOUS TO KNOW MORE?  

Let’s connect and see how we may help each other.

LeadClickConvert.com

You know, most businesses these days have a website, but the problem is that most of those websites are like having a big beautiful neon sign... in the basement where nobody sees it. What we do is optimize a business’ online presence by creating & marketing dozens of places for people to find information that sends them to that website ready to take an action, whether that be via Social Media, video, reputation (building, management & marketing), citations, traffic and other targeted sources. Oh and yeah we do websites too lol...

It is all about allowing business owners to get more clients, patients and customers into their doors, online & off, as well as increasing the wallet share of those already on their client roster, simultaneously, while increasing customers service metrics.

Getting Your Website, Product, Service, or Message In Front Your Prospects via Social Media, video, reputation, citations, traffic or other targeted sources.
