One of the most challenging aspects of Leadership is understanding why people do what they do.  I’m not talking about job titles…..I’m talking about how they act and interact with other people.  How member of your team responds to issues or job assignments.  More importantly, how do you behave in different situations or different job assignments.  As I’ve always said, the Leader’s attitude is the thermostat for the team’s culture.  “How” you are as a leader affects your entire team.

On this week’s podcast episode of the Leadership Lifestyle Podcast, we go on a self-discovery journey to understand behaviors.  You don’t need a psychology degree, but some understand about how you think, and your team thinks, can go a long way to getting everyone in the right roles, increase productivity and create a highly successful team culture.

We’ve all heard the expression, short term gain-long term pain.  That’s what happens when teams are managed through fear like, hit these numbers or else.  It’s also an incredibly lazy way to lead people. In fact, I wouldn’t consider you a leader if this is what you do.  On this week’s episode on the Leadership Lifestyle Podcast, I’ll explain that your Culture level will determine your level of Execution.  Don’t think that wow, I don’t have the time or energy to create a strong Culture.  The reality is, creating the right Culture is actually more about a change in mindset before actually doing anything.

Sure, you can have some execution based on force or tough love or the old do it or I’ll find someone who will.  You will win in the short term, but you won’t build anything.  You won’t build a team or create opportunities you didn’t even know you had. The fact that you’re listening to a podcast says you are not that kind of leader.  Take a short 24-minute journey into how you can drive Execution with a very strong Culture.
