How to Turn on Your Executive Thinking
The Look & Sound of Leadership
11/03/22 • 19 min
A senior executive worries that his lieutenants are not being taken seriously by the senior leadership team. He discusses with a coach how to help his rising leaders accelerate their growth. This is that conversation.
We created a new free Essential Tool for you called “Executive Thinking.” It illustrates the “altitude” analogy Tom told during the episode. It also supports one of the four exercises you can do with your team.
Additional Essential Tools that support other exercises are “Before You Write Your Presentation” and “Sorting & Labeling.”
Liberating Structures is the free resource Tom was raving about. The specific exercise he mentioned was TRIZ.
Tom has talked about Liberating Structures in the episodes “How to Re-engage a Team” and “Leading Offsites.”
If you’re approaching year-end performance reviews, there are tools to support you – no matter which side of the review you’re on! – in Performance Reviews.
Tom referenced two shows that can help you learn Sorting & Labeling.
Coaching For Leaders with Dave Stachowiak: The Way to Make Sense to Others.
The Everyday Innovator with Chad McCallister: How Product Managers Look & Sound like Leaders.
This current episode is tagged in the library in three categories:
Perception – How You’re Perceived
In addition to the various episodes listed above, five that relate specifically to executive thinking are:

As we hurtle in our year-end traditions, stay mindful!

How To Show Up
The Look & Sound of Leadership
09/02/21 • 24 min
Frustrated at not showing up the way she wants to, a leader, in conversation with her coach, explores ways to integrate her values into her behavior.
To show up as more of whatever you want to be, ask yourself:
- What would be different if I were a little braver right now?
- What would a brave person do right now?
- What would I think, or what would I feel, if I were my bravest self right now?
- How is my self-talk helping how I show up?
- How is my self-talk holding me back in how I show up?
(Substitute your own spine word for “brave.”)
Three books to build muscle around how you show up.
The PDF “Six Books for Growth” is available here. Or email Tom and he’ll send it to you.
This episode connects to two previous episodes featuring Chin-Sun: How to Build Your Self-Awareness and How to Grow Your Self-Management.
On September 7, a new podcast featuring Tom goes live: “Unlocking Leadership – Ask the Coaches.” Available online, on your podcast app and YouTube.
