Habits dictate anywhere from 40-80% of our daily actions, according to the top habit researchers. These behaviors occur with minimal conscious thought, enabling us to focus precious brain power elsewhere. The challenge is that most of our habits have developed organically and were shaped by factors other than our values, knowledge and goals.

In this episode, I share some of my favorite learnings about habits after years of following the top habit researchers. I discuss the famous Habit Loop, some tips for how to successfully change your habits, and how to write a habit statement that can help you transform your behavior and thought patterns.

The full episode guide includes an overview of habit formation and tips, along with prompts, examples, and worksheets to help you reflect on your habits and craft your habit statements. Get it when you join the Modern Manager community or purchase the full guide atwww.mamieks.com/store.

Key Takeaways:

  • A habit is a behavior or thought-process that is repeated regularly and tends to occur subconsciously.
  • Habits are not inherently good or bad. They can be both things you do and things you don’t do. They can happen daily, weekly, monthly, annually or whenever triggered
  • Habits are generally formed organically based on our values, desires, culture, and environment.
  • The habit loop has three components: (1) The cue: the signal to do the habit, (2) the behavior, and (3) the reward: the benefit or reinforcement to continue to link the cue with the behavior.
  • Cues can be internal (emotions, instincts), external (visual, environmental), time, place, etc.
  • Behaviors can be both actions and thought patterns e.g. When she turns in work late, I think she doesn't care about her job.
  • To change your habits, try applying the following tips:
    • Make the new habit as small as possible so that it’s a no-brainer to do it.
    • Set up the default in your favor so there are fewer roadblocks.
    • Create the ideal environment that facilitates the desired behavior or inhibits the undesirable behavior.
    • Look for the first action in a routine and build a habit around that first action.
  • Write a habit statement that defines what the ideal behavior is, when, why you’ll do it.
  • While motivation cannot sustain behaviors or habits, it is an important factor when developing habits. Consider setting a 1-3 month goal with a specific reward to help you embed the habit.

We’ve all heard it before. That little voice telling you that any moment now everyone is going to realize you have no idea what you’re doing. Or maybe it’s saying they’ll figure out you don’t really know what you’re talking about. Whatever your imposter syndrome says to you, it’s time to tell it to be quiet.

In this episode, I speak with Todd Palmer. Todd is an executive coach, keynote speaker, renowned thought leader, author, and CEO who is committed to helping business owners tackle their obstacles and clear their path to success. He specializes in helping leaders join the mission statement of the organization with their personal core values, while addressing fears, self-doubts and imposter syndrome. He brings a unique blend of authenticity, transparency and vulnerability to help leaders & organizations achieve their highest goals.

Todd and I talk about imposter syndrome - what it is, how it’s different from your inner critic, and how to overcome it’s unhelpful voice. Plus, how getting past your imposter syndrome can make you a better manager.

Get the chance to win a free 30-min coaching Todd to help you get unstuck around crucial or difficult conversations, change, adjusting to the new normal, or whatever is on your mind.

Read the related blog article: How To Overcome Imposter Syndrome’s Unhelpful Voice

Key Takeaways

  • Imposter syndrome and your inner critic work together; your inner critic says you’re not doing enough and your imposter syndrome fears you’re not able to be better and will be exposed for being a fraud.
  • Imagine putting your negative voices in the passenger seat so you can control the wheel and drive forward despite their chatter.
  • If a manager feels pressure to be an all-knowing, all-powerful savior for their team, they won’t reach out for help when necessary or deeply listen to their team.
  • We all have our zone of genius where we personally shine but we can’t excel at everything. Change your expectations to focus on what you’re great at.
  • We can’t wait for the motivation; take action first and motivation will follow.
  • Anchoring your motivation to helping someone else may help you move forward and take action when imposter syndrome strikes.
  • One of the greatest gifts we can give our staff is not to solve their problems, but to help them feel seen and heard.
  • Say “tell me more” three to five times before giving advice.
  • A manager’s other central listening task is to remove the “bottlenecks” that make their staff’s work life difficult.
  • When a manager exposes their authentic, imperfect self and reaches out for help, it gives their staff permission to overcome their own imposter syndrome and reach out for help.

Asking for what you want or need is almost never easy. Whether it’s a raise, greater autonomy, more responsibility, or something else, it’s important to ask for what you want in order to do your best work. Plus,as managers,we need to enable our team members to ask us for what they need.

In this episode, I speak with AmyK Hutchens. AmyK is an international award-winning speaker, Amazon bestselling author of the brand new book, GET IT: Five Steps to the Sex, Salary and Success You Want, and has over nineteen years’ experience training and consulting with clients such as The Home Depot, Starbucks Canada, Comerica Bank, Expedia and Lockheed Martin. She also is honored to be THE designated Cool Aunt in her family.

AmyK and I talk about building buy-in for your vision, how to ask for what you want, how to have a disarming tough conversation, and how to create an environment where your team feels comfortable asking you for what they want.

Become a member of The Modern Manager Community to get $100 Off AmyK’s The Power of Profitable Conversations Online Course. From connecting with another and healing a relationship to asking for a raise or drawing a boundary, being a Master Communicator sets you up for success... however you define it.

Read the related blog article: Magical Phrases That Get You and Your Staff What You Need

Key Takeaways:

  • Each person has their own needs and wants. To get what you want, align what the other person wants with your desires.
  • Use questions to engage people in a robust conversation. The phrase “How might we...” is a great way to open up thinking.
  • Create a meeting agenda of questions to be discussed. Ask people to contribute their questions as pre-work to help co-create the agenda.
  • Instead of assigning work, try asking, “Would you be willing...” This gives the person the choice to accept your offer, providing them autonomy in the conversation.
  • Hire good people and then give them the freedom to do good work.
  • If you can, follow the “three strikes and I’m out” rule. If your manager abuses you or creates a toxic environment, after three attempts to improve the situation, if they still don’t make any changes, it’s time for you to leave that role.
  • It's important to recognize your own self worth. If you can’t leave an unhealthy work environment, look for ways to create boundaries to protect yourself.
  • You can ask for what you need by connecting - seek to understand the person and share how they can understand you.
  • You can ask for what you need through personal power - be straightforward in sharing your desire, values, or what you need in order for the situation to work for you.
  • You can use connecting or personal power, but it’s hard to do both at the same time.
  • The life you want is on the other side of a tough conversation.
  • Give yourself permission to go back and re-open a conversation that didn’t go as planned.
  • Use the phrase “I have this story in my head...” to share how you interpreted the conversation or their position, and check for accuracy.
  • Always explain your thought process behind your decisions and actions. This builds trust and enables the person to make better choices for themselves going forward.

It’s been months of living in a COVID-restricted world. Remote work, limited public life, rising tensions, and mounting uncertainty, has taken its toll. Many managers and their team members are experiencing non-stop excess stress, overwhelm or are nearing burnout. This isn’t healthy or sustainable.

In this episode, I speak with Peter Gourri. Peter is a qualified Executive & Business Mentor and Coach, non-practicing lawyer, and retired Royal Air Force officer with particular expertise in mentoring as well as leadership coaching and training. His clients range from individual executives and high-growth start-ups to multinational Fortune 500 corporations and others.

Peter and I talk about how to take care of yourself and your team members during this time of immense stress and uncertainty. We get into some healthy self care practices that are good even when there isn’t a pandemic, how to take advantage of this strange time, and more.

Become a member of The Modern Manager Community to get 50% off coaching with Peter. To learn more about membership, go to www.themodernmanager.com/join.

Read the related blog article: Self Care Tips For Managers And Teams During COVID-19

Key Takeaways:

  • Because our mood heavily impacts how we see the world, when under excess stress, it's easy to misinterpret actions or written communications (e.g. email or chat). Before assuming the worst, consider the facts vs your interpretation of them.
  • Pause before responding when you feel emotionally triggered. Take a break and return to the situation with fresh eyes and a calm mind.
  • Give yourself and others a break. We’re all navigating the same complex, confusing and stressful situation.
  • Mark time on your calendar for self care, including time to prepare and eat meals, go for walks or exercise, etc.
  • Offer to switch a video meeting to audio only or a phone call.
  • Take vacation time even if there is nowhere to go. Discover a new park within driving distance or simply take a personal day at home to relax.
  • Encourage your team members to take breaks and time off. Role model this healthy behavior, too.
  • Take up a new hobby or find an activity that energizes you. Or design a project for yourself and work toward it.
  • Create a future vision for yourself and write a letter to yourself as if you’ve achieved that future state.
  • Spend time investing in your skills that will help you advance your career. Take an online course, etc.
  • Know that you will get through this and be stronger because of this experience, no matter how challenging it is.

Dealing with change is a process for everyone, but why is it that sometimes we adapt quickly while other times it's almost painful and yet other times, despite our best intentions, the change doesn’t stick? Understanding various elements of how change happens and factors that influence change can make the process easier for yourself and others.

In this episode, I walk through seven factors that can help you streamline the change journey and increase the chances of a smooth change process.

The full episode guide includes an overview of the seven areas to consider to help you manage changers more smoothly. Get it when you join the Modern Manager community or purchase the full guide at www.themodernmanager.com/shop.

Read the related blog article: 7 Ways to Help Yourself and Others Manage Change

Key Takeaways:

  • Think of change as a journey, not an event. We experience change as a process of moving from point A to point B, from leaving what was and arriving at what will be.
  • The change journey is complete when you’ve arrived at your new normal.
  • We experience change more positively when we are in control and have chosen to change.
  • Invite people into the decision early or give people a choice to opt in to a change.
  • In order for us to gain something new, we must let go of something else. This experience of loss can be more dramatic than adapting to the new.
  • Consider who is gaining what and who is losing what for each change. Avoid blanket statements about change being good or bad in the same way for everyone involved.
  • The change journey is also an emotional journey. By understanding the emotional rollercoaster, we can put our experience in context.
  • When we lack the skills, knowledge, environment or motivation for change, the journey is almost impossible.
  • Changes often have implications beyond what is initially perceived. Some changes seem small but are quite big while other changes appear big but are actually small.
  • Dealing with change is easier when we are part of a group. Whenever possible, talk about the change experience and support each other to move forward.
  • We each experience change differently. Be patient with yourself and others who need more time to process.

You’re probably familiar with the old saying, “do as I say, not as I do.” Unfortunately, when it comes to building a healthy team culture, how you act as a manager is significantly more important than the mission, vision or values you espouse. We must ‘walk our talk’ to ensure our team members see and feel our values, in addition to hearing them.

In this episode, I speak with Kit Krugman. Kit is the Head of Organization + Culture Design at co:collective and the former President of WIN:Women in Innovation.

Kit and I talk about the difference between story-telling and story-doing, the power of simply asking, a culture of psychological safety, the idea of being on a quest, and so much more.

Become a member of The Modern Manager Community to be entered to win a free coaching call with Kit Krugman. In addition, you’ll be entered to win a collective mindset report worth $1,500. This report provides you with information on the quality of your current culture and mental lenses of the leaders and employees. You must be a member by September 1st to qualify for both drawings.

Read the related blog article: Are You Sending The Wrong Signals To Your Team?

Key Takeaways:

  • The story you tell about your company mission, vision and values is only as powerful as the actions that follow it. That is ‘story-doing’ instead of story-telling.
  • When actions don’t align with espoused values, people read the signals and follow what the leadership role models, incentives, and rewards.
  • Reflect on your own behaviors. Are you acting how you expect others to act?
  • Engage your team members in the conversation. What do they want to do? Ask for their feedback and input rather than dictating to them.
  • In order to get honest input and feedback, there must be psychological safety. To develop that trust, ask for critical feedback and take it without being defensive. If you respond negatively, you undermine that psychological safety.
  • Explore what makes you defensive? Get to know yourself and what triggers an emotional response.
  • Prepare to hear critical feedback and to accept it without a defensive or emotional response. Pause to let the emotion pass, say thank you and that you want time to consider it and/or ask for guidance on how to improve.
  • Set your company on a quest that is larger than your products, services, and goals. Establish a Northstar to guide your work that inspires people and opens up possibilities. Create a mission for your team that contributes to that quest.
  • Culture is always a competitive advantage. Culture is about engagement, productivity, attracting and retaining talent.
  • Managers must create a sense of community within their team, especially during this time of physical distancing. Over communicate, invest more time in relationship building individually and collectively.
  • When times are uncertain, people will create their own narrative if you don’t tell them the story. Create the narrative and live into it.

Mindsets are powerful because they deeply impact our view and approach to managing a team. Yet, we are often unaware of the mindsets we hold and how they may be undermining our intent. When you understand a mindset and the fears, desires, and assumptions that it is grounded in, you can better align that mindset with your values and goals.

In this episode, I speak with Ryan Gottfredson. Ryan is a mental success coach and cutting-edge leadership consultant, author, trainer, and researcher. He is the author of "Success Mindsets: The Key to Unlocking Greater Success in Your Life, Work, & Leadership," and a leadership professor at Cal State Fullerton. He has a Ph.D. in Organizational Behavior and Human Resources from Indiana University.

Ryan and talk about what mindsets are and how they impact us as managers, the four typical manager mindsets that might actually be holding you back, how vulnerability comes into play, and how to begin shifting your mindset.

Read the related blog article: The Four Human Desires that Undermine Great Managers

Key Takeaways:

  • Mindsets are the mental lenses that we wear that shape how we see the world and how we behave.
  • How you approach a situation can make all the difference. Consider what happens when you view someone as not trying vs doing their best.
  • Intention and impact are not the same. A lack of awareness of your own mindsets can lead to negative impact, even if unintentionally.
  • 60% of employees say their manager damages their self esteem.
  • Managers, and humans, typically have four desires that can undermine their ability to be great managers. These desires are (1) to look good, (2) to be right, (3) to avoid problems, and (4) to get ahead.
  • These desires stem from self preservation and are associated with four negative mindsets: (1) fixed, (2) closed, (3) preservation, and (4) inward.
  • We can replace our negative mindsets with positive ones: (1) instead of looking good, seek to grow, (2) instead of being right, seek truth, (3) instead of avoiding problems, aim to achieve goals, and (4) instead of getting ahead, strive to lift others.
  • You must be willing to be vulnerable because in order to develop these success mindsets, at times you will look bad, be wrong, have problems and get past up.
  • When managers struggle with vulnerability, they tend to develop a command and control style. This creates an unhelpful situation where team members are unhappy but don’t feel comfortable speaking up.
  • To become more aware of your mindsets, do the following 4 steps: (1) Identify a goal, (2) Reflect on what you are doing, or not doing, that is inhibiting your from achieving that goal, (3) identify the underlying fears, commitments, and assumptions, are holding you back, and (4) connect these to the negative mindsets or desires so that you can begin shifting them.
  • When you are aware of your negative mindset, you can begin to change your outlook and therefore your behavior.

Research from 2012 showed that people of every generation were experiencing loneliness in growing numbers. At a time when so many people are feeling isolated due to COVID19, it’s more important than ever to find ways to connect with people and build bridges across generations.

In this episode, I speak with Hayim Herring. Hayim is a rabbi and Ph.D. in Organization and Management, and is CEO of HayimHerring.com, whose mission is “preparing today’s leaders for tomorrow’s organizationsTM.” Hayim is a prolific author, presenter, and organizational futurist, specializing in nonprofits and values-based organizations.

Hayim and I talk about building relationships with people outside your generation, stereotypes and realities of boomers, gen Xrs, millennials, and gen Zrs, how we might all approach people of any age with curiosity and the value they bring to the conversation, and how to build a truly intergenerational workplace that engages people of any generation.

Become a member of The Modern Manager Community to get 30% Hayim’s book Connecting Generations: Bridging the Boomer, Gen X, and Millennial Divide which offers real-world strategies to strengthening intergenerational relationships in our workplaces and communities. Members also get Hayim’s recent report on how COVID-19 is making Gen Zers and Millennials rethink personal and professional priorities.

Read the related blog article: How To Bring Generations Together In The Workplace

Key Takeaways:

  • Every generation develops stereotypes about the other generations. These stereotypes can inhibit us from seeking relationships with people outside our own generation.
  • To build relationships with people outside your generation, ask someone to join you for a (virtual) coffee, find places to volunteer with people of other generations, or join a friend who has cross generational relationships.
  • Millennials say Boomers are obsessed with working hard so that they can retire and have fun. They are tough and tenacious, and Boomers are entitled, feeling like they worked for a long time and therefore earned or deserve leadership roles.
  • Boomers say Millennials only want to have fun now, they don’t have tenacity or grit, they don’t have big goals, and Millennials are entitled, feeling like they should be given responsibility right from the start.
  • There will always be a tension between those with experience and the wisdom gained over time and those with fresh eyes who aren’t beholden to any past experience.
  • Just putting people of different generations on team or in an office does not make for an intergenerational workplace.
  • Learning how to collaborate with and learn from people of every generation is a critical skill.
  • The responsibility of every generation is to hold on to what is good, let go of what isn't, and plan the seeds for a better future so that other generations will thrive.
  • Companies should rethink how the offer benefits to better meet the need of each generation.

Read the related blog article: How to Use the Three Types of Goals

Key Takeaways:

  • Goals are critical to how an organization, team, and individual work. They guide significant aspects of how people think and behave.
  • There are three basic types of goals: (1) Impact goals, (2) Output goals, (3) Process goals.
  • Impact goals focus on the result that is achieved. They are often out of our direct control.
  • Output goals focus on the deliverable or accomplishment. They tend to be short term.
  • Process goals focus on behavior. They generally include an action and frequency.
  • When writing goals, include any measures that describe success more fully. Often goals have a main focus, but many additional factors that must be met in order for the goal to be fully achieved.
  • Include a timeline for all goals. Even arbitrary timelines are useful in that they help you negotiate how you’ll spend your time. Goals without any due date always fall to the bottom of the list.

Politicking often gets a bad rap, prompting feelings of disgust or unease. But when done right, politicking can actually benefit everyone involved and feel good at the same time. How? Because politicking at its core is all about building good relationships.

In this episode, I speak with Chrisa Zindros Boyce. Chrisa has been a consultant, executive coach and educator with Handel Group since 2009. Her clients, an international group of serial entrepreneurs, perennial corporate executives and established individual contributors hail from a broad range of sectors including Finance, Legal Media, Entertainment, Fashion, Technology and Government.

Chrisa teaches her clients how to define their leadership brand, strengthen their competitive edge and foster relationships that impact the bottom line. She helps them learn to navigate corporate structures and promote themselves in an ever-competitive and evolving world.

Chrisa and I talk about politicking: how you can build and leverage relationships at work to get what you want or need, and how to do it without that yucky, slimy feeling that so often comes with the idea of playing the politics game.

Members of The Modern Manager community can listen to an encore episode with Chrisa where we talk about The Power of One. In addition, members get the chance to win a free 30-min coaching session with prior guest Todd Palmer to help you get unstuck around crucial or difficult conversations, change, adjusting to the new normal, or whatever is on your mind. You must be a member by October 6th, 2020 for a chance to win the session with Todd. To learn more about membership and to join, go to www.themodernmanager.com/join

Read the related blog article: Make Politicking At Work Relational Not Transactional

Key Takeaways

  • Good politicking is relational, not transactional. It doesn't need to feel slimy or inauthentic.
  • We politic by spreading goodwill, trust, and support in the workplace through building one-on-one relationships
  • Your coworkers will only support you in a cause if you invest the time for them to get to know you and like you
  • Give first, ask later. Demonstrate that you are willing to first help before asking for help yourself.
  • Make clear through your actions that you care about the “We”, not the “I”. Managers need to show that they can set aside their personal wants to help their team get ahead.
  • Reflect on your personality, mindset or behaviors that take you away from being “We”- focused
  • It’s important to get to know both those above and below you. Those who report to you will only execute their best work if they know you, like you, and feel that you care about their best interests
  • Reach out for connections. Ask your boss to put you in meetings that will help build relationships, or set up a Zoom cocktail to get to know a colleague
  • Invest daily in practices that build up your reputation as someone who is collaborative and supportive. Mark times in your calendar to build relationships, whether through pop ins or quick messages
  • For every work relationship, the responsibility (the work we do) and the rapport (how our coworkers feel about us) components need to be in equilibrium
