Everyone admires visionary leaders like Jeff Bezos and Steve Jobs, who look past the conventional wisdom of their day, foresee a different and better world, and mobilize others to join them in their quest to create it. But few leaders understand the principles and practices that practical visionaries use. It is not just what they think but how they think that allows them to see so much farther and clearer. In this episode we will discuss: · How leaders can catalyze even the most complacent companies into visionary-driven growth · How leadership teams can develop a vision from scratch, connect it to a strategy, and then program and implement it in the best possible way · How to embed future-back thinking in both an organization’s C-suite and its wider culture · How a sufficiently long-term planning horizon and a powerful firm vision have allowed such unicorns as Amazon and Google and long-established enterprises like Procter & Gamble and J&J to sustain their growth.

This new type of leader is not born, but made. Becoming this strong leader comes down to the choices that we make and the habits we create. Building on a simple model of Connection, Communication, and Collaboration, this show will open your eyes to the obvious and not-so-obvious reasons why leading today is so difficult.

What is really holding women back? It's More Complicate Than You Think
The Wall Street Journal recently reported that, “women today lead 167 of the country’s top 3,000 companies – more than double the share a decade ago, but still under 6%.” “Despite all the attention and the one-off successes, the overall picture still looks bleak,” says,” co-founder of Her New Standard, Ellen Keithline Byrne. The problem is people are stuck in the old narratives about what’s holding women back and not shifting their perceptions to what the data shows. Denise D’Agostino, co-founder of Her New Standard, says that “what’s encouraging is that more and more research is clearly indicating that diversity of thought at the top of an organization contributes to increased productivity, innovation and profits. It’s not just nice to have a more equitable workforce, it’s a good business decision. With these findings, companies are taking a more serious look at how to make changes, but as we know, changing how we do things is hard.”

Encore Trust Based Leadership
What exactly is meant by trust-based leadership? What does integrity, the power of why, “like”, understanding plateaus, and sharing the mantle have to do with trust? “Trust is a critical link to all good relationships whether personal or professional.” When present, the speed of things moves quicker and when trust is low or even absent, the results can be poor productivity and low energy. This show will dig into practical approaches for building long-sustaining trust.
