Next Level Thinkers’ Post

Emotional intelligence is a key component of success in the workplace.

EI is so important! I appreciate how it's simply explained here.

A quality that all leaders should be equipped with!

As leaders, our role extends beyond simply getting work done. We're responsible for nurturing the next generation of leaders. To do this effectively, emotional intelligence (EI) is paramount. EI equips us with the skills to recognize and manage emotions, respond to challenges with empathy, and build strong relationships. #LeadershipDevelopment #VisionaryLeadership #Motivation #PositiveLeadership #Leadership #Productivity #Daniel Goleman

The Pharmaverse Podcast, hosted by Michael Pietrack is a leadership pod that focuses on bringing valuable insights to both leaders and aspiring leaders. Once a month, we highlight a leadership book, and for September we would like to bring forward The Go-Giver for Leadership. This was a suggestion of our host, who is a big fan of the Go-Giver series by Bob Burg and John David Mann. This book in the series emphasizes the idea that great leadership is not about taking or accumulating power but about giving and serving others. The book presents a story of a leader who learns five key principles, known as the Five Laws of Stratospheric Success: Value, Compensation, Influence, Authenticity, and Receptivity. These principles focus on the idea that by providing value to others, fostering genuine connections, and putting others' needs first, a leader can create greater success for their team and themselves. This approach contrasts with traditional leadership models that focus primarily on authority and control. It suggests that when leaders lead with empathy, authenticity, and a giving spirit, they inspire trust, loyalty, and long-term success. The book reinforces the idea that giving without expecting immediate returns not only benefits the people around the leader but also enhances the leader's influence and impact over time, creating sustainable, meaningful growth within the organization. If you're looking for a leadership book to add to your list, The Pharmaverse Podcast and host Michael Pietrack recommends The Go-Giver for Leaders.

Leadership isn't magic (although sometimes it feels that way!). There's a growing body of research that highlights the critical role of influential communication in creating successful and fulfilling leadership experiences. Here's what the research reveals: -Transformational Leaders, Transformational Communication: Studies show leaders who inspire and motivate their teams (think transformational leaders) excel at clear, inspiring communication. They paint a vivid picture of the "why" behind goals, fostering a sense of purpose and ownership. -Building Trust Through Communication: Research by Gerald M. Eisenberger et al. emphasizes the power of relational leadership. This approach focuses on open communication, empathy, and building strong relationships with your team. This fosters trust, a vital ingredient for a happy and productive work environment. -Unlocking Innovation Through Safety: Studies by Amy C. Edmondson highlight the importance of psychological safety in teams. Influential communication creates a space where team members feel comfortable sharing ideas, admitting mistakes, and offering constructive criticism. This fosters innovation and ultimately, a more fulfilling work environment for all. Leadership success isn't just about strategy and results; it's about connecting with your team.

To Lead or Not to Lead? Shakespeare asked, "To be or not to be?" But in the corporate world, the big question is often: To lead or not to lead? But what does it really mean to lead? And when are you truly leading? These questions stay with me, especially when I meet leaders who hold so many different views on leadership. With over 800 definitions out there, it's no wonder the concept can seem a bit unclear. In a recent podcast, I listened to a leader with military training and two master’s degrees who defined leadership as "finding and developing talent." While that’s certainly part of it, is it the essence of leadership? Would focusing only on talent development bring success? At Brainwells, we define leadership as "creating results together with others." To me, this captures the true spirit of leadership—driving outcomes through collaboration. What’s your definition of leadership? If you're interested in leadership, get our free short e-book "The Secret Tool for Leaders". You can download it here: www.brainwells.com/stl

Just finished recording a podcast (as a guest). We were discussing why creativity and play are useful to leaders. The podcast host mentioned that when she worked in corporate, she LIVED for moments when a leader would relax, make a joke and take the edge off. Then they could all relax. They could all collaborate. They could WORK without fear, but instead with confidence. THIS is the reason. When you lead, you don't lead robots. You lead people. People who on some level need resonance, connection and belonging. Especially when times are hard. Leaders don't have to meet all the needs of the folks they lead, but they will either create resonance and inspire productivity, leadership and collaboration - or they won't. This starts on a being level. Creative Leadership coaching is about drawing out the innate authentic creative abilities within a leader - so they can draw them out in their teams. Increase collaboration. Increase fun. Increase productivity. Decrease stress. All boats rise!
