In this episode, Mike is joined by Michelle Baker. This is a dynamic conversation that you don’t want to miss. 

Key Takeaways:

  • Most people want to know how they are doing and what their blindspots are.
  • As a leader, your actions speak louder than words.
  • If training isn’t integrated into the operation and culture, it’s not going to stick.
  • When leaders are focused on the tasks required to manage and the results needed everyday, they aren’t necessarily taking the time to develop employees, therefore, you won’t see change.
  • Everyday it’s priority and focus.
  • You need buy-in from the very top - it must be a priority for the entire organization.
  • If you can’t get your mind right first, it’s going to be really difficult to lead yourself much less other people.
  • Morning Alignment:
    • Journaling
    • Meditation
    • Move
  • Find what works for you to calm your inner chaos.
  • Try to get away from waking up and immediately checking social media, e-mail, etc…
  • Authenticity is huge - to be able to say you are proud of yourself
  • Calm leadership starts with collaboration. Companies must carve out time.
  • Coaching is telling people what they are doing right just as much as it is the performance side.
  • New leaders must be curious, ask a lot of questions, be comfortable talking to their people.
  • Look at emerging leaders and develop them. Give them stretch assignments.
  • When your actions align with your intentions, that’s pretty powerful.
  • What makes a good mentor relationship?
    • Transparency
    • Genuine interest in seeing you succeed.
    • Communication style that works for you
    • Understanding who you relate with, who you respect, who you have seen go through things and come out in a way you admire.
