054: The 12 Inch Rule with Kaliym Islam

31m · Experience Leadership · 13 Sep 08:00

Today we have a special guest joining us. Dr. Kaliym Isalm is an author and the founder of The TrainingPro Academy. He also runs a boutique educational consulting firm and works as an Assistant Professor of Practice at Southern Illinois University. Kaliym has written four books and, in this episode, we are talking about his most recent, The 12 Inch Rule of Leadership.

When Kaliym joined his fraternity, he had to memorize a 12 inch rule. What he came to find over the years is that those who could recite those 12 rules on command (even long after they first joined the fraternity) had a much steeper career trajectory than those who forgot the rules. This launched Kaliym into an in-depth research project which turned into a book.

Throughout our conversation, we talk more about this process of bringing The 12-Inch Rule of Leadership to fruition. We also get into Kaliym’s educational and career background and discuss some of his best leadership principles. Tune in to learn from the many varied experiences of Kaliym Isalm.

In this episode, you will hear:

Kaliym’s experiences in the Air Force.
How he got into education.
The two phrases that sum up his leadership: innovation and taking chances.
How he leveraged technology to make a difference.
The importance of value-based learning.
Where Kaliym came up with the idea for The 12 Inch Rule of Leadership.
What the book covers.
How to be an effective communicator.
How to maintain the dignity of simplicity when you give a message.
