The Four L Model of Leadership
On this episode of the podcast, Brian Schubring and I talk about what it takes to reach that next level of leadership fitness. We call it becoming Leadership Lean. During this time of year, January, many people—maybe even you—set goals, especially those involving fitness and other health-related pursuits. This could be exercising, eating better, trying to accomplish a specific achievement or milestone, or perhaps, just trying to incorporate more movement into your daily life. Whatever your goals, they all involve disciplined learning and unlearning of certain behaviors. This is true of anything you want to be better at, be it parenting, podcasting, or the pursuit of your lofty goals. We need to move beyond the space we’re currently in and move into an area that’s a little scary. In this episode, we explore and unpack what it takes to become Leadership Lean. Brian shares his four L model which includes Listening, Leaning, Learning, and Leading.
Reflections on Being Present
It’s the end of the year 2022, and as Brian, Linda, and I were reflecting on what we wanted to discuss for our last episode of the year, we hit record and it led to this wonderful conversation. The theme of this episode is the idea of authentic connection, purposeful connection, and understanding the why behind what we’re doing.
This isn’t a scripted episode about the top three things to do with Strengths on your team. It’s more of a conversation about pausing. So here it is, our final episode of the year. We hope you have a great holiday season and will see you in the new year. Cheers!
How to Expand Your Understanding & Expertise in the Application of Strengths
We connect daily with people who have received their CliftonStrengths report and love what they have learned about themselves. Yet, at the same time, they are hungry for a deeper understanding and application of strengths.
This is why we created our “Seeing Strengths from a New Perspective” online course. This 6-part course is designed to help you understand the ideas and concepts of strengths and productively apply them in your life.
If you are looking for the best resource to guide the development of your strengths in 2023, this course is for you!
