Views From the Pinnacle: A Certified Master's Perspective of The Leadership Challenge (R)

Episode 12 - Encounters of a Leadership Kind with Mama Turtle

This episode draws parallels between Nature and Leadership. Both are systems with cause and effect, and both demonstrate enormous opportunity to grow and prosper. #leadership #nature #leadershiplessons Debbie Nicol www.businessenmotion.com www.leadershipchallenge.com

Episode 11 - Adversity provides a first-class ticket to get to know ourselves

'Personal bests' are at the core of the research from Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner, co-authors of The Leadership Challenge. Nobody ever achieves their personal best by staying the same. Three examples shine the light on how adversity will always bring the best in people while also exposing your 'real self' to yourself and others. Challenge is the crucible of leadership and with that in mind, this episode's three spotlighted individuals will help us all appreciate the tougher the struggle, on a local or global basis, the bigger the steps towards truly authentic leadership. #JimKouzes #BarryPosner #leadershipchallenge #leadership #adveristy #struggle #personalbest Debbie Nicol www.businessenmotion.com www.leadershipchallenge.com

Episode 10 - Black-Eyed Peas are a Leadership Trait

The bad news - so many suffer from communication breakdowns at work and in life? However, the great news is that very few, if any, leaders suffer from communication breakdown. Why is that so? Does the communication of leaders somehow differ from that of managers?  This episode integrates some of the behavioral statements from the LPI instrument from the work of Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner.

Episode 9 - Leaders make every interaction stronger with the 'red thread'

While leadership is everyone's business, not all choose to willingly follow others without feeling strength in the relationship first and foremost. The 'red thread' is the best way I can depict how this can strengthen and form a bridge between each of the 5 Practices of Exemplary Leadership. This podcast demonstrates both * how visions can come from values violations as well as * the benefit the 'red thread' brings to the art of leadership. Debbie Nicol businessenmotion.com.au

Episode 8 - A true-blue account of The Leadership Challenge, 'down under' style

David Cornish, Director of Centre for the Study of Agribusiness at Marcus Oldham College in Geelong, Victoria, Australia, sees farmers of today holding a different role in the future. He hopes to help them transition from a farmer or land practitioner, to leaders of agricultural practice. What could be the difference? David and I met in one of my workshops. While listening to the interview between David and I, admire not only the depth of his knowledge with this often-misunderstood arena of leadership but also his very Australian persona and style of communication.  Dig deeper into The Leadership Challenge with David Cornish and Debbie Nicol.
