How to “re-script” your leadership style to win the talent war, stay relevant, and get better results, with bestselling author Stephen M. R. Covey


One of the biggest concerns organization leaders have these days is the labor market: how to win (and keep talent). And for good reason. These days, it’s harder than ever to find and retain a great team. But no matter what external factors are impacting the job market, CEOs and managers can always control one thing: their leadership style. And chances are, they’ve been thinking about their leadership all wrong. 

 

Joining us on the Measure Success Podcast is one of the top leadership experts in the world. Stephen M. R. Covey is the New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author of “The Speed of Trust,” which has sold over 2 million copies worldwide. In this podcast, we discuss his latest book, “Trust and Inspire.” 

 

He’s also the co-founder of CoveyLink and the FranklinCovey Global Trust Practice. A sought-after and compelling keynote speaker and advisor on trust, leadership, ethics, and collaboration, he speaks to audiences around the world. 

 

Tune into this special episode for more on Stephen’s advice for how leaders can stay relevant in the labor market (no matter the external conditions), the healthier alternative to a “command and control” leadership style, the core “stewardships” that leaders have, and, of course, several of Stephen’s top book recommendations.

 

Here’s a Glimpse of What You’ll Learn: 

 

  • Why Stephen’s process to finish his latest book was a 17-year journey

  • The differences between a “command and control” leader and a “trust and inspire” one, and why context is so crucial to both methods

  • The data behind a high-trust work culture and why the “trust and inspire” leadership value can be so powerful for shareholder value, innovation, productivity, and more

  • How leaders can move their team from engagement to inspiration

  • How leaders can win the war for talent, and what they need to change about their leadership styles in order to be on the cutting edge of the next era of work

  • Some real-world examples of leaders who have changed their styles and seen great results

  • The difference between being and doing, and why both are so important for leaders to be effective 

  • More details about the 3 stewardships that Stephen describes in his book

  • How to stimulate more openness and transparency within a workplace

  • More about Stephen’s relationship with his father, the well-known bestselling author of “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People”

  • Why inspiration is a learnable skill for leaders

  • How Stephen measures success, both in business and in his personal life

Day 7 - One Week officially in the Books

Working on that daily habit to exercise again. 7 Push Ups completed. Starting to get that strength back. For those following, there will be a point that you need to break up the push ups into different sets. That is ok and makes sense. Here's my recommendation, whether you do the push ups from your knees or standard push ups, try to do the most amount of reps in a specific set right before you are unable to do anymore. Rest two minutes and then start your next set. Another option is to split the sets in different parts of the day. As you build strength, you will be able to do more reps in each set.
