Presence and Whole Life Integration
32m · PublishedFoundations of Leadership: Elizabeth Fire District of Colorado
44m · PublishedFor this week's episode we are doing another round of answering questions from our Colorado Fire Leadership Series. Our second session with this engaging group of firefighters, volunteers, and dispatchers was about the foundations of leadership, different leadership styles, and theories. Questions answered during this episode include leaders who attempt to manage their way out of leadership, span of control, keeping the mission at the focus, and more. We hope you enjoy it!
Pressure is a Privilege
29m · PublishedWe get asked all the time - "Don't you guys get nervous.... doing public speaking, speaking in front of large audiences, etc." YES! We are nervous every single time! We prepare like crazy, and whether we present to large audiences or small groups of high-caliber people, it's daunting no matter the group. But we also see the nervousness, the opportunity, the pressure, as a privilege.
Cultures of Excellence: Elizabeth Fire District of Colorado
40m · PublishedWe usually tackle one question in our episodes, but today we're doing something a little different. We recently started our Colorado Fire Leadership Series with the Elizabeth Fire District of Colorado, a team of full-time and volunteer firefighters, dispatchers, and support personnel. Our first module ofCultures of Excellence resulted in so many engaging and thoughtful questions that we wanted to dedicate an episode to answer the remaining ones we couldn't get to during our session. These questions are applicable to anyone in a leadership position. We hope you enjoy it!
Balancing Authenticity of Self and Getting the Job Done
33m · PublishedAs leaders, how do we balance the relationship between authenticity and understanding we still have a mission and a purpose to accomplish? There's a line to be managed, which can be difficult. It's the work of the leader to understand and exercise judgment within appropriate context and within the company's culture. Authenticity, self-control and consistency together cab lead to overall trust within teams.
What are ALPs Reading/Listening To?
32m · PublishedWe get this question asked often - what are we reading, what podcasts are we listening to, what kinds of content and material do we find valuable? We aren't completely immune to the social media junk food, and do our best to stay intentional about what we mentally digest. Blayne and Brandon talk about topics, methods and content that they read and some specific recommendations.
Goals and Intentions
33m · PublishedWhat are your goals and intentions for 2024? Our approach tends to lean toward a more thematic path for what we want to accomplish. We want to challenge ourselves in ways that are hard and lean into having clear objectives on the calendar. There are a ton of ways of how you put together the framework for your life, personally and professionally. Blayne and Brandon provide some of their methods for how they plan out their year.
Balance: Taking Care of Your People AND the Mission
29m · PublishedIt takes a real balance to ensure you hear your people out and take care of their needs while at the same time ensuring the job is getting done. It takes integration of both. It takes hard work. It takes difficult decisions to keep the health of the business at the forefront.
Balance: Taking Care of Your People AND the Mission
22m · PublishedHow Do You Choose a Good Business Partner?
29m · PublishedWhen you're a small business owner, choosing to bring on a business partner is one of the most significant decisions you can make. Our view is that in this decision, like a marriage or life partnership, you have to think long term. Finding another individual or small team that aligns with your life values is key, with the amount of time you all will be spending with each other, toiling, celebrating wins and bouncing back from losses together. Listen in to more gems of advice from Blayne and Brandon about how they continue to build the ALPs team.
