TAG 099 - Advanced Listening Techniques

It's been said that speaking is the highest paid profession in business. But, this isn't necessarily true.

Yes. Leaders with the capability to speak before large audiences and in creative and compelling ways have only the sky as their limit in their ability to succeed.

But, there is an even more valuable skill set for leaders than speaking. And, that skill is listening.

You won't be a good speaker if you don't listen to and understand your audience. You won't be a good leader if you are not an exceptional listener.

Join Michael and Jim in this important episode as they share advanced listening techniques for entrepreneurs.

TAG 101 - Winning The Unpopularity Contest

With politics...you only need 51% of your constituents to like you, and the rest, "Who cares?"

Yet, in the business world, it's pretty difficult leading an organization when you've got only a slim majority of support. You've got to hope you're garnishing more votes than 51% or it's going to be a tough haul.

The challenge is; however, as a leader, sometimes you've got to make decisions that have much less support than that. On occasion, you're the only one who sees things a certain way.

And, if it's the right decision, you've got to make it anyway. This can make you quite unpopular.

Join Michael and Jim as they discuss strategies during these stressful leadership moments to be able to win the unpopularity contest.
