Creating Clarity During The Global Pandemic | Leadership Espresso Shot 15
Leadership Biz Cafe with Tanveer Naseer
07/22/20 • 9 min
Without question, the global pandemic has created unexpected hardships and uncertainty. It's also amplified issues many leaders have failed to adequately address. In this latest edition of Leadership Espresso Shot, I delve into one of these leadership blindspots and reveal why leaders can no longer afford to put it on the back burner.In my previous piece, I shared some strategies based on neuroscience on how leaders can boost their critical thinking in light of the chronic stress environment the current pandemic has created. Based on the overwhelming, positive response to this piece (who knew so many people would be inspired over taking walks to help them boost their critical thinking skills), I wanted to address another critical aspect of leadership that needs to be addressed during this global pandemic.Without question, the current global crisis has not only upended any sense of normalcy, but it has created some wide-ranging economic hardships that many expect will take years to recover from.And while the pandemic has shone a bright light on various discrepancies found in various societies with regards to issues like income disparity and systemic racism, it has also amplified various issues leaders need to address if they are to be successful in their efforts. For this Leadership Espresso Shot, I'd like to focus on one in particular issue in terms of what leaders need to be mindful of in terms of what they're communicating to their employees.Granted, there are many issues and at times fires that leaders everywhere are being expected to address and resolve. But this issue in particular is especially important if you want to make sure you are accessing the full efforts of everyone on your team in order to not just prevail in today's uncertain times, but create the necessary conditions to succeed and thrive when we finally make through to the other side and can begin anew.And as these editions of Leadership Espresso Shot are designed to be short, but powerful episodes of my leadership podcast, they are perfect for many of us who are working remotely and are looking for something to recharge and inspire you in between the various tasks on your To Do list. So I hope you'll check this latest episode out and if you enjoy it, please do share it with others in your network.https://open.spotify.com/episode/0QBnoJppqc4EGtosZjJlj3?si=PgItp5k4SLOUlosmNLxKIQNoteworthy Links:3 Steps To Boost Your Critical Thinking Skills During The Pandemic3 Important Lessons On Crisis Management From The Pandemic

Leadership Biz Cafe with Tanveer Naseer
02/11/20 • 11 min
Have you ever worked for a leader who inspired you to do your best work? Why were they able to? What was their secret? It's a question I aim to answer by sharing a personal story of working for one such leader in this latest installment of Leadership Espresso Shot for this 50th episode of my leadership podcast, “Leadership Biz Cafe”.If you're like me, you've probably had your share of horrible to mediocre bosses and if you're lucky, you've also had a few bosses who truly exemplified what it means to be a leader. And maybe luckier still, that working for these bosses not only allowed you to do some of your best work, but also helped you learned a little bit about yourself and where your real purpose lies.I can honestly say I'vehad the good fortune of working for two such leaders and althoughit's been many, many years since the time I work under theirleadership, their example and the lessons they taught me aboutleadership and how I can make a difference still echo and influencethe work I do today.And so, to celebratethe 50th episode of my leadership podcast, I'm not onlyunveiling a brand new theme for my show, but I'm using this as anopportunity to share a story about one of these leaders and what washis secret to inspiring the best from his employees. Indeed, if Iwere to put together a list of the best work I've ever done, some ofthe work I did for this leader would definitely be near the top ofthat list.And a reminder, these Leadership Espresso Shot installments are exactly what visual this name inspires – these are short, concentrated doses of leadership insights and inspiration that while short in duration, nonetheless pack a powerful punch in helping you to strengthen your leadership craft.So check out the 50th episode of my leadership podcast and if you enjoy it (as well as past episodes of my show), please be sure to share it with others to help spread the word about my podcast.https://open.spotify.com/episode/5avUslXiXME7AljyFMXic2?si=0ba3d15e2f1a4d4b

Stephen M.R. Covey | The Power of Trust in Leadership
Leadership Biz Cafe with Tanveer Naseer
05/27/20 • 57 min
When it comes to leadership success, a key foundational stone is your ability to gain and foster trust within the organization. So why are we continuing to see low trust levels for those in leadership positions? What's missing in our understanding about fostering trust? That's one of the questions I ask my special guest, Stephen M.R. Covey in this episode of Leadership Biz Cafe.Stephen is the cofounder of CoveyLink and the FranklinCovey Speed of Trust Practice, as well as being the former President and CEO of the Covey Leadership Center. Regarded as a global authority on trust, leadership and culture, Stephen has worked with leaders to help them understand what it takes to nurture, extend, and restore trust throughout their organization. Stephen is the author of the New York Times bestseller, “The Speed of Trust – The One Thing That Changes Everything”, which serves as the focus of my conversation with Stephen in this episode.Over the course of this episode, Stephen and I discuss:What's behind the current low levels of trust in today's leadership and what leaders can do about it.The four cores of credibility and how this impacts our ability to not only extend trust to others, but to extend trust to ourselves as well.How leaders can use results to build credibility in their leadership and with it, foster greater trust amongst their employees and stakeholders.The kind of transparency leaders need to demonstrate to build relationships built on trust.Why it's vital that leaders extend trust in their organization to avoid the growing divisiveness and fragmentation we see all around us.I can honestly tell you this is an episode that's worth listening to as Stephen offers a masterclass here on understanding the true nature of trust and how leaders can tap into this critical skill to strengthen their leadership and ability of their organization to succeed and thrive.And if you enjoy this episode, I'd appreciate it if you could share it with your colleagues and employees to help get the word out about our show so I can continue to get such thought-provoking guests as Stephen to help us all learn how to improve the way we lead.

Importance of Expressing Gratitude During Challenging Times | Leadership Espresso Shot 18
Leadership Biz Cafe with Tanveer Naseer
10/14/20 • 9 min
During challenging times, it’s critical that leaders boost their communication time to provide clarity and assurance to their employees. In this edition of my Leadership Espresso Shot series, I make the case that it’s equally important for leaders to express more gratitude through their leadership when faced with uncertainty about the future.Now this past Monday was Thanksgiving Day here in Canada which commemorates the end of the harvest season. For my family, this long weekend holiday is our favourite time to visit with our extended family and share laughs, good times, and warm memories. Unfortunately, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, Canadians have been advised to stay home to slow the spread of this virus. But while we weren’t able to visit with family, I still found myself thinking about all the things I’m grateful for, despite all the challenges and problems this global pandemic has given rise to.And this got me thinking about how important it is for leaders to express gratitude through their leadership, especially during challenging times. In fact, there are several studies that demonstrate the numerous benefits leaders can tap into by bringing more gratitude into the way they lead. So what are those benefits and how can leaders express gratitude through their leadership? Well, to learn the answers to those questions, you need to listen to this episode.In the meantime, if you’ve been enjoying my leadership podcast, I’d appreciate it if you could share my show with your colleagues and network. The easiest way to do this is to share a link to our podcast page, where you can listen to ever episode of my show, as well as find links to subscribe on iHeartRadio, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, and Listen Notes.Speaking of different platforms where you can listen to my leadership podcast, you may recall how I shared recently my “Leadership Biz Cafe” podcast is now on Deezer. Well, I’m happy to share the news that just last week, my podcast was added onto Pandora as well.Now given the topic of this episode, I do have a personal message I share with listeners of my leadership podcast. So I do hope you’ll check this episode out and hopefully gain both insight and inspiration for not only why you should express more gratitude through your leadership, but how to get started right now.https://open.spotify.com/episode/0WO0h345XeFwkdsvfo9Tje?si=f5gs-p2bSjqvZB5Vq1V8zw

There's no question you'll make mistakes as a leader, no matter how experienced you may be. What really matters is how well you manage mistakes, especially when you're the one responsible for them. In this episode of my leadership podcast, I share 3 questions you should ask yourself to determine how well you manage mistakes.Of course, it's never easy to have discussions around mistakes that were made, regardless of who made them. And so, to help ease ourselves into this conversation, I share in this edition of my Leadership Espresso Shot series a personal story about one of my daughters. If you've ever attended one of my leadership keynotes – either in person or lately in one of the virtual conferences I've done online, I'm sure you've noticed how I enjoy sharing stories to help illustrate a point, if not also to make the ideas more memorable. And when you hear how this story ends, I'm sure you'll understand why I enjoy sharing this one.Now as I mentioned at the end of this episode, not only are we hard at work creating more episodes of this podcast to help you learn to improve the way you lead, but we're working on expanding our presence on as many platforms as possible. That's why you can now listen to our show on Deezer, in addition to iHeartRadio, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Listen Notes, TuneIn, and many, many more.That's why I'd like to ask for your help in return by sharing this or any other episode of my leadership podcast with your network to help us continue to spread the word about this show and hopefully, help improve the leadership craft.And with that, here's my latest Leadership Espresso Shot, featuring not only a sweet story, but 3 important questions you should ask yourself to ensure you are effectively managing mistakes.https://open.spotify.com/episode/3CfTNiBXgOjmFezkm6Lgwg?si=7bed18dc092b4006Noteworthy links:How To Use The Power Of Storytelling In Your Leadership In 3 Simple StepsDo You Allow Your Employees To “Own The Suck”?How To Increase Self-Awareness In Our Leadership

Wanda Wallace | How To Lead Employees Who Know More Than You
Leadership Biz Cafe with Tanveer Naseer
06/10/20 • 33 min
In today's increasingly complex workplaces, leaders need to be experts who can make the best decisions for their team. But how do you succeed at leadership over areas where your expertise is limited? That's what I'll be asking my guest, Wanda Wallace, in this episode of Leadership Biz Cafe.Wanda is the managing partner of Leadership Forum, where she coaches leaders and works with teams to improve leadership capability. Prior to founding Leadership Forum she was the executive Vice President at Duke Corporate Education, Associate Dean of Executive Education at the Fuqua School of Business at Duke University, as well as assistant professor in marketing.Wanda has worked with American Express, Deutsche Bank, Ford Motor Company, GlaxoSmithKline, Morgan Stanley, and JP Morgan Chase, and has also written several academic publications.Wanda is also the author of several books, including her latest “You Can't Know It All – Leading In the Age of Deep Expertise”, which serves as the focus of this episode's conversation.Over the course of this episode, some of the things you'll learn include:What signs to look for to help you know when to rely on your own expertise and when you need to reach out and tap into the expertise of your employees.How leaders can redefine the value they create through their leadership when you need to lead a team of experts who know more than you.How to shift from doing things right to doing the right things (and knowing what those are).Why the idea of climbing the career ladder into leadership roles is actually misleading and can lead you to fail at leadership.Why it's critical for leaders to broaden their network beyond the people who rely on them for insights or answers.If you enjoy my conversation with Wanda, please do me a favour and share this episode with your colleagues and employees. You can also share with them our podcast page, where you can not only listen to every episode of my leadership podcast using the built-in player, but you will find links to subscribe to my show on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and more.https://open.spotify.com/episode/3QbFq9DzOpL5WsBSNeUbCq?si=241da1906f474a40Noteworthy Links:Buy Wanda's book “You Can't Know It All” on Amazon (or Amazon.ca for Canadian readers).Read my article mentioned in the episode - Are You Supporting Your Organization’s New Leaders To Succeed?Learn more about Wanda's work - www.leadership-forum.com

What Leads People To Fail As Leaders | Leadership Espresso Shot 12
Leadership Biz Cafe with Tanveer Naseer
03/24/20 • 11 min
When it comes to improving our leadership skills, there's an understandable tendency to seek insights on how to succeed at leadership. But what about taking a closer examination at how we lead to better understand the ways that we fail at leadership? It's something I explore through one leader's example in this episode of the Leadership Biz Cafe podcast.If I were to ask you right now to think of the name of a leader, what names come to mind? Many times when I ask this question in my leadership keynotes or training sessions, the typical answers I get are Martin Luther King, Jr., Nelson Mandela, Winston Churchill, Malala Yousafzai, Richard Branson, and Mother Teresa. Invariably, the reason why these individuals are on top of mind for so many people is because each of them in their own way serves as inspiration for how to face adversity or challenges and come out stronger and better in the end.Of course, as I remind my audience in this exercise, as much as we should make note of those leaders who overcame various challenges to achieve their vision, we should also be mindful of those leaders whose personal actions and behaviours, and for some outright hubris, lead them astray and ultimately their downfall as leaders of their organization.One of the more recent examples of this kind of leadership failure is former Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn. Under Winterkorn's leadership, Volkswagen manipulated their car software to make it appear as though their cars met various international emissions standards. While Winterkorn has claimed he had no knowledge this was going on, the fact remains as CEO, Winterkorn's actions and behaviours lead to a culture where such dishonest practices could be employed, ultimately leading to both financial losses as well as an erosion of consumer trust in the Volkswagen brand.However, in this edition of Leadership Espresso Shot, rather than focus on such a high profile leadership example as Winterkorn's, I'd like to share a more personal example of a leader I once worked with as it will show how it's often not these major violations of trust (and the law) that can lead to us to fail as leaders. Rather, it's often everyday actions and behaviours we are taking that end up taking away any chances we may have to succeed at leadership.So do check out this episode and learn from the example of this leader to make sure you're not just putting measures in to succeed at leadership, but you're also this critical area where so many fail when it comes to effective leadership.Again, as a reminder, if you've been enjoying my podcast, please help support it by sharing this or other episodes with your colleagues or team. One of the easiest ways to do this is simply to share a link to my show's podcast page where they can listen to all of the episodes to date on that page, as well as find links to subscribe to listen to my podcast on iHeartRadio, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, and more.It's a small ask, but you'll be doing me and this show a big service. Thanks for your help in supporting this leadership podcast.https://open.spotify.com/episode/7GIcsL3mzNedNP1unQXCNZ?si=8db52f3ded274c0a

Bonnie Marcus | The Politics of Promotion
Leadership Biz Cafe with Tanveer Naseer
04/07/20 • 33 min
If there's one aspect of today's workplaces most of us could do without, it's office politics. And yet, the simple truth is you need to master it to grow your career. Unfortunately, for most women, this is easier said than done. So how can they overcome this hurdle and become more valued contributors to their organization? Renowned executive coach Bonnie Marcus shares how in this episode of Leadership Biz Cafe.Bonnie is a renowned executive coach who specializes in helping women decode their organization's culture in order to not only help them advance in their careers, but become stronger contributors to their organizations goals. In fact, since 2014, Bonnie has been recognized by Global Gurus as one of the top 30 coaches in the world.In addition to her coaching work, Bonnie has been a regular contributor to Forbes, as well as having her work appear in Fortune, Business Insider, Huffington Post, Psychology Today, and Fast Company. In this episode, Bonnie and I talk about her book “The Politics of Promotion: How High-Achieving Women Get Ahead and Stay Ahead”, which although geared towards women, offers some practical insights for men and women leaders who are invested in helping their employees succeed and grow.Over the course of our conversation, Bonnie and I discuss:Why navigating the world of office politics is more challenging for women than it is for men.The 4 stages to becoming more politically savvy at work.Addressing the contradiction between women expecting to be recognized for their work while at the same time not appreciating what unique value proposition they bring to the table.What women get wrong about building relationships and networking.Again, although Bonnie's work is directed at women, I can tell you I found both her book and the insights she shared in this episode illuminating and informative. In fact, I've given my copy of her book to my wife to read and will be getting copies for my daughters as well. So do take the time to check this episode out because as leaders, it's incumbent on us to better understand how we can help all of our employees bring their best and full efforts to the work they do.Also, as I mentioned in the show, I'd would really appreciate it if you could share this episode or any other episode of my leadership podcast with your employees and colleagues. We're looking to grow our audience even more and it would really help in supporting this show if you could help spread the word.https://open.spotify.com/episode/2PB3LuGqb8UG1hjXbREK0X?si=Agc1wyo-SYqzo6ne69C5oQNoteworthy links:Buy Bonnie's book "The Politics of Promotion" on Amazon (or Amazon.ca for Canadian readers).Learn more about Bonnie's work at her website: BonnieMarcusLeadership.com.

Are You Leading From Inside A Fishbowl? | Leadership Espresso Shot 16
Leadership Biz Cafe with Tanveer Naseer
08/19/20 • 8 min
How can leaders overcome those typical assumptions that not only distort what realities their employees have to deal with, but what their employees really need to be successful in their efforts? In this edition of Leadership Espresso Shot, I share 4 questions leaders can use to gain greater clarity in their leadership.The inspiration for this latest episode of my leadership podcast actually came to me while I was on summer vacation with my family. As an avid reader, I like to bring along books that give me a mental break from the usual material I read either to prep for interviews with my guests on my podcast, for developing content for new leadership keynotes or corporate training events, or even to get inspiration for a new piece for my leadership blog.It was while enjoying one of these summer vacation reads that got my mind thinking about how often leaders confuse how they view their leadership as being the same as the experience their employees have under their leadership, a phenomenon I referred to in my first book as “Leadership Vertigo”.So what's this have to do with the picture of the fish bowl above? Well, you're just going to have to listen to this episode to find out, along with learning about these 4 powerful questions that will help improve your ability to succeed at leadership.Now if you aren't familiar with my Leadership Espresso Shots, as the name infers, these are short episodes that are designed to provide listeners with a strong dose of leadership insight to help improve the way you lead. And trust me when I say I expect this one to give many of you a lot of food for thought – if not also some actionable steps you should be taking on a regular basis to improve your leadership awareness levels.Now if you enjoy this episode, I'd appreciate it if you could share it with others. You can also share a link to our podcast page where you can listen to every past episode as well as find links to subscribe on iHeartRadio, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, and more.https://open.spotify.com/episode/3RzHsIQPtWYRKjBQsfKJ1ONoteworthy links:Learn more about my book “Leadership Vertigo”Recognizing The Perception Gaps In Your Leadership3 Critical Factors To Help Your Team Stay The Course
